You call THIS safer?????????????
02/26/93: Al Qaeda plans executes it’s first attack on the World Trade Center Towers. Six are killed and over 1000 are injured. Clinton considers the incident only a criminal act, arrests six, and considers the case closed.
10/03/93: Clinton sends US forces to Somalia to engage and capture Somali warload Mohammed Adid while refusing to equip them with air gunships or heavy armor out of UN sensitivities. Al Qaeda trains the local insurgency, 19 American soldiers were killed, and a naked US Army Ranger was dragged through the streets in celebration. Days later Clinton announces an abrupt pullout of Somalia.
04/25/95: Timothy McVeigh drives a truck with a fertilizer bomb packed inside, and blows up the Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Over 225 people are murdered, many of them innocent children, and countless thousands injured. It was said this was a DIRECT RESPONSE to the federal handling of Waco Texas.
06/26/96: Militans strike US military barracks with a truck bomb in Saudi Arabia. 19 are killed. NOTHING was done until Bush took office and a federal grand jury indicted 13 Saudis and a Lebanese. The Clinton administration considered the case closed.
08/07/98: Al Qaeda attacks US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 and injuring over 5000. Two weeks later Clinton launches cruise missiles against an aspirin factory in Sudan, and considers the case closed.
10/12/00: Al Qaeda attacks the USS Cole, murdering 17 sailors. Clinton did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING while focusing his attention instead on supporting Al Gore’s bid for the white house.

It is always safer when you choose to ignore the things going on around you. But just like the ostrich, you butt is sticking way up in the air and an easy target for any attacker.
Think about this, when was the last time there was a terrorist attack on US soil anywhere in the world? Enough said.

The terrorists were, too - a lot safer.
Pretty much slaughtered thousands of innocent people with impunity - and they had plenty of time to organize and plan devastating attacks, also.

Perhaps You will again feel the comfort of a lack of leadership when Hillary takes over the white house. Her temper will keep this country from building anything but bomb shelters. Start Yours now and beat the rush.
