Why do conservatives always say that Al Queda will attack us when the Dems get in power?

Question

When the worst attack in America's history happened while Bush was President? Is Bush a Dem now?

Answer 1

Because they think the American public is infantile and that fear will sway them.

It's insulting, isn't it?

Answer 2

What they're actually saying is that the Dems will stop fighing back. Remember, the Administration keeps claiming to have foiled verious terrorist plots to attack America, and to be 'taking the fight to the enemy' in Afganistan and Iraq. The theory is that a Dem Administration will be so busy re-distributing wealth and hugging trees, and the terrorists so bored after taking over Iraq and Afganistan, that they'll finally succeed in another attack. Then, the theory goes, the Dems will roll over and give them whatever they want.

But, no, I don't think they should be claiming that Al Qeada is waiting to attack upon the election of a Democratic President.

Answer 3

al Qaeda may have planned the 9/11 attack while Clinton was in office, but they knew they would not be able to carry it out until they knew Bush was in office, who knows, maybe if Florida hadn't screwed up their election results and Gore would have won the office, maybe 9/11 wouldn't have happened at all? No one really knows but them correct? If history repeats itself, we could expect another attack on this land in 2009, Clinton took office in '93, the world trade center was attacked by a car bomb in '93, Bush first took office in 2001 and the world trade center was more viciously attacked in 2001, what can we expect in 2009? Bush would never be a Dem, he's too money hungry and only thinks of himself.

Answer 4

Republican US Presidents are the major diplomatic persons interior the historic previous of the U. S. - those persons have through no skill initiated wars nor mandatory to proceed ending up global conflicts. Please exclude from the list George Bush Sr and Jr and Nixon as anomalies Oh and Mitt Romney - US Presidential candidate has no objective through any skill to initiate conflict with Iran... /end sarcasm

Answer 5

Because they want to attack the Dems.

Answer 6

Do you think that Al Queda just woke up on 9/11 and said, "Hey, let's blow up some sh!t in America."? Can you list what was bombed and attacked while Clinton was president? Now can you list what's been attacked since Bush has been president?

Answer 7

Why? Because liberals and democrats are wimpy and won't do anything and won't protect our country.

Or at least that's what a conservative would say. In my opinion, they're just scared that they won't get tax cuts. And that they won't be able to do anything to oppress anyone anymore

EDIT: Steddy Voter, you said
Because in the past a certain Dem (Clinton) stopped the CIA from getting Bin Laden when they knew exactly where he was, before 9/11 even happened. They had a specific plan outlined. Clinton was concerned that it might be expensive and unpopular. Look it up.

My reply is that we had the same chance. And it wouldn't have cost us ANYTHING. But, some Arabian prince was flying around, so they didn't catch him so that we didn't have "bad relations" with the middle east. This was DURING BUSH'S FIRST TERM!

Answer 8

Because they prey on the minds of the weak with fear.

Jenny, to answer your question:
Al Qaeda was formed in 1988 by Osama Bin Laden (under Bush, Sr.’s watch). On February 26, 1993, just 37 days after Clinton was inaugurated, AQ attacked the WTC with truck bombs. Six people were killed (that is 2967 less than on 9-11). In 1998, AQ used car bombs in 3 African cities and killed approximately 300 people. Clinton launched several missiles and destroyed an AQ base, missing Bin Laden by a few hours and was largely criticized for “wagging the dog” by the Republicans. Then, in 2000, the USS Cole was bombed killing 17 sailors in Yemen. Despite criticism by Bush against Clinton, when he took office, Bush did nothing. The attacks during Clinton’s two terms totaled 323 people in 3 attacks.

Nine months after Bush took office, 9-11 occurred, killing 2973 people. Then, in Oct. 2002, 1st Bali bombing (202 dead). 2003: insurgency in Sauid Arabia (still ongoing with at least 100 dead); Mariott Hotel Bombings, Jakarta (12 dead); Istanbul bombings (27 dead). 2004: Madrid train bombings (191 dead); Jakarta Austrailian Embassy bombing (11 dead). 2005: London bombings (2 in one year, 52 dead); Bali bombings (20 dead); Dehli bombings (59 dead); Amman bombings (60 dead). 2006: Varanasi bombings (28 dead); Mumbai train bombings (209 dead). 2007: Samjhuata Express bombings (68 dead); and, Algiers bombings (0 deaths). That is 15 attacks with 3803 dead. Therefore, on Bush’s watch, there has been a 500% increase in attacks and a 1000% increase in deaths (not including Iraq).

Answer 9

*sigh* Liberals are so thick-headed. I have explained this time and time again.

In the eight years of the Clinton presidency, we suffered FIVE terror attacks: U.S.S. Cole, First WTC bombing, Kobar Towers, and the U.S. Embassy bombings.

In the seven years since George Bush took office, we have suffered ONE terror attack: 9/11 (and bear in mind that he had only been president for eight months, so we were operating largely under Clinton's foreign policy). We have uncovered plots and prevented at least a dozen other terror attacks largely due to his policies and the policies of others like him.

I know you don't like to admit this, but demoncrats are notoriously weak on national security. It's a historical FACT.

THAT is why Al Queda will be able to attack us if the dems take power.

Answer 10

Al Q doesn't care who's prez. They'll try to attack, whether Reps or Dems are running the show. And they'll keep it up till U.S. forces go home. It's an old old story: Yanqui go home.

Answer 11

Because the thought is that Democrats are weak on national defense. Democrats will roll over and let the terrorists win. While its true that Bush was president when 911 happened, the planning happend on Clintons watch.
