How come the Bush administration has been caught in so many National Security problems?

Question

From Valerie Plame to fired Prosecutors to Guantanamo, etc. The repubs say they are the champions of securing America, so why are they so bad at it?

Answer 1

Because they don't really care about securing america - thats just another piece of propaganda that they like to spread to make democrats look weak on national security.

If republicans cared about national security, they would've secured this countries borders and ports first - and then worked with other countries to determine a plan of how to most effectively eliminate terrorism worldwide.

Instead, they invaded afghanistan, which now has the highest opium production of all time since Dubya took his eye off the ball and invaded Iraq - gauranteeing that every single jihadist in the middle east was going to be trying to kill our soldiers. That's where it remains to this day.

Answer 2

Just looking over these responses makes me wonder...
In the 40 plus years the Dems ran Congress, Afghanistan was the largest producer of heroin poppy in the world...why wasn't it a problem for all those years?
How can ANY Dem talk about 'securing the border' with a straight face.
They now control congress...please point out the bill they have put forward to seal the borders and stop illegal aliens entering.
That's right...NADA.
But take a look at CSPAN and watch them do everything possible to block even the mild bill measures that Bush has put out there.
Okay...Guantanamo...what 'problem' are you referring to?

When is the last time a question was posted here by a liberal who had a clue what they were talking about?
Liberalism has become the doctrine of the terminally uninformed and the unabashedly dishonest.

Answer 3

Most of this stuff is made up by the Bush haters 1) Plame, she as the Bushies say arranged for her husband to take a field trip to Africa than come back write an op-ed piece that told falsehoods about Bush, blamed the VP for the trip and later claimed his wife was a covert CIA agent. Wilson was proved a lier in senate hearings. 2) Fired prosecuters. It is not a crime to fire anyone who serves at the request of the president when the president no longer wants them on the payroll(Clinton's AG Reno fired 93 of them) 3) Gitmo. Terror suspects need to be detained, they are not US citizens and enjoy no constitutional rights despite the carping of the left. What would you suggest, giving them a day in court at the cost of millions of dollars to the taxpayer and then having them paroled to a house next to yours? 4) Foreign Intel gathering. This was a program wrongly defined as domestic spying. Lets see a person with possible terror ties living in the US receives a phone call from Pakistan and we should not find out the nature of the conversation? What you see as a National Security problem is really a problem created by the US main stream media who will take every opportunity to embarrass and humiliate Bush even though it risks further attacks on US soil. Of course why should they care, the majority of them live in gated communities with no real target value for those who would kill us

Answer 4

Well, the Bush administration hasn't quite mastered the art of stuffing National Security documents down their pants and then hiding them under a trailer. That's probably why they get caught more than democrats.

Answer 5

Because they're the 1st ones to do it. Therefore, since they are the 1st ones to do its natural they wont be the most efficient.

BTW, Clinton fired all 93 frederal prosecutors, this big to-do is over 8.

Answer 6

in the previous 9/11 the NSA might desire to no longer legally "share" all guidance it won with any business enterprise it needed. It had to maintain on with "criminal" procedures. as a consequence extremely a lot of guidance won became "prohibited", via regulation, from being bypass on. It mandatory to be "processed" to confirm which business enterprise "mandatory" it. subsequently businesses weren't sharing intel. which permits events mutually with 9/11 to take place. regrettably, Obama has clamped down on "sharing" so we are set as much as have yet another such experience using "rights" of terrorists being extra important than the protection of people.

Answer 7

They aren't responsible for what they say or do. They break every rule and they get caught every time. It looks like they would learn you gotta play by the rules. let them go , do all their little tricks and that is why we kicked them out of the Congress and Senate, we will kick them out of White House. They whine and moan about losing the election, the Senate want let the vote pass to put a timetable on bringing our troops home. That election next year we will take from them again, let them keep all these scandals going, just sit back and watch the complete Republican go out of the picture completely. Just be quite and watch they'll slowly fade out of sight forever and never to return. GONE, Gone, gone.

Answer 8

Spare us your typical liberal twists and lies.
