It's not a dialogue, Mr Duke, I've had questions deleted by the supreme leaders at yahoo, but I wish someone would refute much of what you say like the Balkans,and all theunsubstanciated
claims...

How do the Balkans look now- or is that not such an easy find in the media-ask the Serbs!

I suppose there is at least 1 here who might claim that the world court and the UN are both pious organizations. By the way, no one here seemed to be saying they were avid Bush supporters, but on the other hand...

What the hell did Phil Specter do to his hair? He's insane for going in public like that...or it maybe a ploy to get an acquittal.

Let’s roll that historical videotape, Phil Speculum --

Prior to 9/11, more America citizens died at the hands of foreign terrorists during the Reagan years than during any other Administration.
What was the America response? One bombing run against Libya.

If Clinton had not frozen North Korea’s plutonium production, it would have enough for 50-100 bombs today. He managed to end the genocide and ethnic cleansing in the Balkans.

And… uh… would you care to produce even one instance where any Republican said we should do anything about the Taliban, Bin-Laden, Afghanistan, or international terrorism?

Here are few highlights you apparently missed while obsessed with Clinton’s penis.

President Clinton led the fight against terrorism over strong opposition from Republicans in Congress and the pro-Republican Media. President Clinton:

President Clinton took the oath of office January 20, 1993. February, 26 - barely a month later - terrorists detonated more than 1,000 pounds of explosives under the World Trade Center, killing six and injuring about a thousand people. Bill Clinton and the Democrats never dreamed of trying to blame the outgoing George Herbert Walker Bush Administration. They just began working to keep us safe from terrorism.

What did Clinton do?

Found and had arrested four of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman's disciples
Gave them a speedy trial where all were convicted them for the bombing
Sentenced them to 240 years in prison


All by March 1994, only 13 months after the bombing. Officials captured the prime suspect Ramzi Ahmed Yousef in 1995. A court convicted him in November 1997 and sentenced him to 240 years in prison as well.


CLINTON VS. TERROR

(here's a partial - yet incredibly long - list of accomplishments against terrorism for which the Clinton administration gets almost no credit or even recognition)

-- sent legislation to congress to tighten airport security. (remember, this is before 911) the legislation was defeated by the republicans because of opposition from the airlines.

-- sent legislation to Congress to allow for BETTER TRACKING OF TERRORIST FUNDING. It was defeated by Republicans in the Senate because of opposition from banking interests.

-- sent legislation to Congress to add tagents to explosives, to allow for BETTER TRACKING OF EXPLOSIVES USED BY TERRORISTS. It was defeated by the Republicans because of opposition from the NRA.

When Republicans couldn't prevent executive action, President Clinton:

-- Developed the nation's first anti-terrorism policy, and appointed first national coordinator.

-- Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up 12 U.S. jetliners simultaneously.

-- Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up UN Headquarters.

-- Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up FBI Headquarters.

-- Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up the Israeli Embassy in Washington.

--Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up Boston airport.

-- Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up Lincoln and Holland Tunnels in NY.

-- Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up the George Washington Bridge.

-- Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up the US Embassy in Albania.

-- Tried to kill Osama bin Laden and disrupt Al Qaeda through preemptive strikes (efforts denounced by the G.O.P.).

-- Brought perpetrators of first World Trade Center bombing and CIA killings to justice.

-- Did not blame Bush I administration for first World Trade Center bombing even though it occurred 38 days after they had left office.

Instead, worked hard, even obsessively -- and successfully -- to stop future terrorist attacks.

-- Named the Hart-Rudman commission to report on nature of terrorist threats and major steps to be taken to combat terrorism.

-- Tripled the budget of the FBI for counterterrorism and doubled overall funding for counterterrorism.

-- Detected and destroyed cells of Al Qaeda in over 20 countries

-- Created a national stockpile of drugs and vaccines including 40 million doses of smallpox vaccine.

-- Robert Oakley, Reagan Counterterrorism Czar says of Clinton's efforts "Overall, I give them very high marks" and "The only major criticism I have is the obsession with Osama"

-- Paul Bremer, Bush's Administrator of Iraq disagrees slightly with Robert Oakley saying he believed the Clinton Administration had "correctly focused on bin Laden.”

-- Barton Gellman of the Washington Post put it best, "By any measure available, Clinton left office having given greater priority to terrorism than any president before him" and was the "first administration to undertake a systematic anti-terrorist effort."


---------------------------------------------

HERE, IN STARK CONTRAST, IS PART OF THE BUSH-CHENEY ANTI-TERRORISM RECORD BEFORE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001:

-- Backed off Clinton administration's anti-terrorism efforts.

-- Shelved the Hart-Rudman report.

-- Appointed new anti-terrorism task force under Dick Cheney. Group did not even meet before 9/11.

-- Called for cuts in anti-terrorism efforts by the Department of Defense.

-- Gave no priority to anti-terrorism efforts by Justice Department.

-- Ignored warnings from Sandy Berger, Louis Freeh, George Tennant, Paul Bremer, and Richard Clarke about the urgency of terrorist threats.

-- Halted Predator drone tracking of Osama bin Laden.

-- Did nothing in wake of August 6 C.I.A. report to president saying Al Qaeda attack by hijack of an airliner almost certain.

-- Bush - knowing about the terrorists' plans to attack in America, warned that terrorists were in flight schools in the US - took a four week vacation.

-- By failing to order any coordination of intelligence data, missed opportunity to stop the 9/11 plot as Clinton-Gore had stopped the millennium plots.

Now, don’t you feel stupid?

Hey Phil,

Want to substantiate the 'countries overthrown' BS?

My information is drawn from the Republican Congress’ 9/11 and Pre-war Intelligence reports; from the United States Department of State "Patterns of Global Terrorism" Reports”, available at: http://www.state.gov; and from the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) report "Trends in Global Terrorism: Implications for the United States", which represents a consensus view of the 16 different spy services inside government.

And, you guys just got slammed again; this time by the Government Accountability Office for the federal government’s failure to coordinate the work of U.S. law enforcement agencies overseas to fight terrorism and for Bush Administration buffoonery that “may have compromised several investigations intended to identify and disrupt potential terrorist activities”.
