Why do 'some' liberals think terrorists started attacking us only when Bush was in office?

Answer 1

They don't have very long memories.

Answer 2

i dont believe that. Nor do i believe that the terrorists attacked us...i believe the government did.

fact: osama left the USA shortly before the 911 attacks and there are known meetings between him and bush
fact: there are no audio records of the time before the attack
fact: no plane wreckage was found at the pentagon attack
fact: no black box was found at the pentagon site
fact: bush wanted to go to war before he ever got into office

an attack on the USA was a perfect reason, and the only way he could get the people of the USA to actually go to war. It was staged, Bush killed all those people, so that he could go to war. All hail president bush.

Answer 3

I won't say they started under Bush; I don't believe that for a second. I will say, however, that they have certainly gotten worse. Bush II has *exacerbated* the problem with his boneheaded policies.

Answer 4

because the biggest attack by terrorist happened when Bush was in office. its that simple.

Answer 5

Not at all... and what gives you the impression that I am not concerned about the threat of terrorism to our country....... My complaint is the war in Iraq, which has absolutely nothing to do with terrorism.....by the way, I have supported the invasion of Afghanistan since day one, cause....thats were the terrorist were

Answer 6

I don't know anyone who thinks that, be they liberal or conservative.

Though I'm fairly certain that if "some" liberals felt that way, then "some" conservatives also did.

Answer 7

Try living in the UK, we had terrorists (largely funded by Americans) attacking us for years

Answer 8

Probably for the same reason anyone would think that... they don't know much about history or current events for whatever reason.

Answer 9

Very true but libs accept no personal responsibility and love the blame game (clintoon is proof of this)
