I just got an answer to Q, and it made me wonder:?

Question

All this talk about 9/11 and how Bush let it happen, and "lies" about Iraq, let's look at this:
1) Clinton was pres. when the attack was planned!
2) Clinton had the same CIA directer as Bush, and said the same thing Bush did about Iraq.
3) Clinton's top security man took documents out of the White House, and nobody knows what was in them.

I am tired of hearing how Bush is to blame. All this happened within his first 9 months as prsident, so why isn't Clinton being held responsible, HUH?

Also, I guess all the Hurricanes that hit the USA are Bush's fault also,HUH?
How can people believe this stuff???

the people that get blamed for 9/11 are the fanactal Muslims, and their hatred of freedom.

Answer 1

That's because Clinton was too busy being a !@$#

Answer 2

Bush had the same CIA director as Clinton, then why were the attacks not stopped? Oh, that's right because the administration couldn't be bothered. Same with Hurricane Katrina, the government was on vacation and couldn't be bothered.
The difference is that one was a man-made disaster that could have been prevented but wasn't, and the other was a natural disaster that could have been managed, but wasn't.
The Bush administration sucks all the way around.

Answer 3

Bush should be held responsible because he ordered the invasion of Iraq. He also has not acknowledged his blunder, and pulled our troops out. Yes, Clinton bears some responsibilty for the attacks on 9/11 - however I think we can ALL agree that the invasion of Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11 (besides providing an easy excuse/justification to rush in). The President had a huge conflict of interest going into Iraq - and the people that did raise a flag of concern were vehemently shut down. Lets name some points like you did:
1. Saddam plotted to assinate Bush's father after the first Gulf War.
2. Bush and Cheney and their families are wealthy in oil. The people he surrounded himself were indebted to the oil industry - including Condoleeza Rice (former Board of Director for Mobile Oil Company), and Chief of Staff Andrew Clark (former lobbyist for GM Automotive). A lot of their policies have been to the benefit of the oil industry.
3. Iraq has the second largest reserve of oil in the world.
4. There were no WMD's being stockpiled or mass produced in Iraq.
5. Saddam wanted nothing to do with Al Queada and had nothing to do with 9/11.
6. N. Korea has WMDs, actively produces them, and has openly tested weapons that could deliver them to our allies - yet we went in to Iraq on shaky intelligence. You do the math.

Answer 4

People will look for a reason to talk trash. Our government isn't responsible for 9/11, the terorrists are. Blaming it on the president is a side effect from being the president, he's in charge, he's running the country, like a store manager. If something happens in the store, they want to blame the manager. Some people are stupid, they were so worried about Clinton getting b/js in the white house, who the f**k cares who gets b/js anywhere?

Answer 5

First of all, its not Bush's fault that the twin towers were destroyed and millions of people died. No one is really to blame. The Couriens (I hope I spelled that right) aren't really to blame, either. Their God told them that our religion was wrong, and that chaos and grief would engulf them unless we were destroyed, so their religion is to blame. As for Clinton, does it really matter who was president at the time? No. Say you were the preseident. You can't control what's going on in the world. Many people blame Bush because he's a Republican. Democrats don't want anymore death, do you? All they're saying is that Bush should stop sending American Troops out into war. He's fighting instead of tring to come to and agreement. What I'm trying to say is, right now he cares about victory. He barely cares if only ten out of one-million die. If I were president, I'd try talking with our opponents, try to come to an agreement, and make them happy, so instead of being enemies, we'd be allies. I hope this answer helped you understand what's really going on.

Answer 6

Blaming Bush or Blaming Clinton? Heck, the potential for an airplane to fly into a building goes back most of the last century.

The fact that we have had mostly Republican presidents during that period is a non-starter with me. It's what we're doing about it now that matters.

Answer 7

People will believe whatever they think they need to in order to accept the problems in this world.

Bush doesn't create nor is he responsible for natural disasters.

Unfortunately, as the role of the President is concerned that means taking the brunt of the complaints in times of crisis (9/11) we'll never really know who is to "blame" for the attacks, the best we can do is move on with our lives and strive for a better America.

Answer 8

No one knows anything about any of this except a few politicians and God. People who say they know are ignorant enough to believe what the media says.

I suggest just letting go of any conclusions and realizing it happened in the past. Move on with your life. The only way you can make a difference for the future is by voting for the right people. I'm not even sure that will help.

Luckily I'm not of this world and it's consequences don't effect me very much.

Answer 9

Ok, fine, Bush was not to blame for ignoring the PDB that said, "Bin Ladin determined to strike inside America". Forget about that...

Bush is the one who LIED to us about Iraq being involved, related, associated with the 9/11 attacks. And instead of capturing Bin Ladin, his personal friend, Bush invaded Iraq and gave no bid contracts to Vice President Dick Cheney's old company Halliburton, running up a half a trillion dollar deficit.

How can YOU believe that Bush is a victim? THAT is the unbelievable thing!

Answer 10

Throughout history, people allow their dislike for a particular individual or group to allow them to blame them for all bad things. Whether it was the Jews blamed for Germany's post WW 1 problems,Hoover blamed for the Depression, or an insane person being burned as a witch, ignorant people will always try to find someone to blame.

Answer 11

Clinton presided over one of the most prosperous times in American history. President Bush is presiding over one of the worst times in American history. The secrecy of his administration, the Iraq war debacle, playing politics with our soldiers' lives You make the call.
