Bill and Jamie Gorelick seemed to do all they could to stop the CIA from informing the FBI that terrorists were IN THE US.

Why did Dems set up the "wall" in favor of protecting terrorists instead of protecting American kids and grandparents?

Same reason Clinton said he couldn't turn Bin Laden into Saudi. We had a prison that could of held Bin Laden when Clinton had him, but Bill Clinton, Hillary's husband let the man go who was responsible for the death of 3000 Americans. Keeping terrorists alive is a money maker for the Dems. That is why they are against our efforts of killing terrorists at every turn imaginable, from anti-torture, to Iraq, to letting them cross our borders.

niether of the Clintons said anything THIS STUPID

FLIP
"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." G.W. Bush, 9/13/01
Washington Post, 9/17/01, UPI: Bush said he wants accused terrorist leader Osama bin Laden "dead or alive.” “I want justice...There's an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive,'"- G.W. Bush, 9/17/01, UPI
AP, 12/14/01: President Bush pledged anew Friday that Osama bin Laden will be taken "dead or alive."
FLOP: Capturing OBL no longer a priority:
G.W. Bush, 3/13/02: I don't know where Bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."

on the contrary

Of Clinton Administration's efforts says Robert Oakley, Reagan Ambassador for Counterterrorism: "Overall, I give them very high marks" and "The only major criticism I have is the obsession with Osama"

Since the so-called "wall" between agencies has been known to be a myth for some time now, the real question is whether there is any lie about the Clintons that you're not willing to believe.

I'll answer this with a question. How is it that America which did so much good during and after the last world war can now keep properly informed and sane with such a right-wing press?

The "wall" was a fabrication in the mind of the delusional John Ashcroft.

Remember in his resignation letter how he said terrorism wasn't a problem anymore? So then, we won the war on terror, right?

Dems are invested in the destruction of America and us losing the war. Dems attack soldiers. Dems attack anyone who disagress with them because they have no opinions and no solutions to anything. This shouldn't surprise you.
