Liberals, you don't like Bush's anti-terrorism actions, what do you propose?

Question

Say what you want about Bush, you can't deny that we have not been attacked in over 6 years. So what should we do differently, and why?

Mr. Mordon, we weren't attacked during the Clinton years? You must be 12 years old. In 1993 al qaeda tried to topple the world trade center with a bomb in a van. There are others, but I won't bother since you won't read it anyway.

Ok, lots of liberal trite, but no one has proposed anything to prevent terrorism. We've been lucky? ha ha. Al qaeda has had a change of heart? ha ha.

Read what you wrote, and tell me you're not a little embarrasses.

Answer 1

I've always wondered this....they do alot of bitching about him, but never really say what should have happened

Oh, and for not being attacked under Clinton?

Don't be stupid...WTC bombing in 93, USS Cole in 98, US Embassy bombings. All those were under Clinton...and our response?

Nothing...which made them brazen enough to try the Airplane attacks.

Answer 2

Questions and answers like this amaze me,Everyone blames Bush for the war.The best I remember,there was a vote and many Demorcrats as well as Republicans voted for war,yet we blame one man.Did you lose anyone in 911?If you did ,you probably think different than those on here.I see it all the time if it don't hit me in the head then let's don't do anything about it.The next time some other country attacks us,let's see if they know how to play paddy-cake see what that solves.We as a country are weak and everyone knows it,that is the reason we have all these Mexicans laughing in our face while they take over our country and we are to much of a bunch of soft lilies to do anything about it.Just wait you weak people in a few more years when we are in starvation and see who helps us.Its coming faster than you think and the strong will survive and you weak will be eaten alive.Crying will do no good so save your tears.

Answer 3

sure...and how many times had we ever been attacked by terrorsist in American history?

(let's not forget that we were attacked WHILE BUSH WAS PRESIDENT... those over 3000 deaths in NYC and the Pentagon happened while bush was president)

why should we thank the president, and give him credit for not being attacked by terrorists during a 6 year period when there were 15 years between the first WTC attack and 9-11...

and 216 consecutive years before that where we were not attacked by terroist on american soil at all

6 years is nothing special.
he's basically spent 1.6 trillion dollars to protect us against something that happens on average every 115 years.

Answer 4

and it was how long before that since the last attack? 6 years is not very long.. we've just been lucky to be honest.. and that's not just Bush's fault.. but Congress as well.. None of them have done anything to protect the homeland... but I digress.

I'd redouble my efforts to catch Bin Laden.

I'd quickly phase out of Iraq (gives us more resources to go after Bin Laden anyway).

I'd make changes to homeland security that were more than just window dressing.

By the time I was done, the FBI and CIA would rival any nation in their ability to gather intelligence.

I'd stop trying to fight a war against a tactic, and use tactics to fight tactics. Those being improving our foreign relations/policy as much as possible with all Middle Eastern nations (obviously, as long as we still support Israel there will be limits to this), and using smaller tactical forces instead of invasion size forces to attack cells. I'd also concentrate on improving our AI technology for tactical information gathering and strikes.

And I'd work on Education here at home.. it would be my main focus.. because an educated population will be more capable of fixing our problems here at home in the years to come.

Answer 5

winning the war on terror would be a good start.

we are not even close to Victory. sad
---------------
embarrassed ? no !
people that support bush should be embarrassed
he is the only American President that attacked the Wrong country during a time of war.
bush = worst President ever !
A Liberal Won WWII in less time than bush has wasted trying to fight the war on terror !

tell us - how are things going in Pakistan ?

Answer 6

That Bush stand trail for war crimes.

Consider that in the last week of May 2003, professional voices within the intelligence community, evidence from parliamentarians in the United Kingdom, and this administrations' own admission, have sufficiently documented that the invasion of Iraq was based upon known pretenses. Secretary of State Colin Powell has stated as much in a conversation with his U.K. counterpart, Jack Straw. In other words, the administration lied to Congress, they lied to the United Nations, they lied to the world and they lied to us, the people. Surely, if Congress can impeach a president for consensual fellatio in the Oval Office, they can do so for the high crimes and misdemeanors of subverting the Constitution.

Make no mistake about it, the cabal, that is the petro-banking- finance corporate profiteers that have orchestrated the coup d'etat that put the evil of two lessers into the White House, want The Watchman to remain silent. They want the good citizen to be a quiet citizen. The "patriotic" citizen should not speak out against the emperor. That's what the empire wants and that is what they want the people to believe. Simply put, the truth about this administration is dangerous to it. It is, that which portends to put an end to the Bush family assets of evil. These assets go back to Prescott Bush. I leave it to the reader to research the connection between Prescott Bush and the Nazi regime, the fortune that was made as a consequence of the relationship.

Answer 7

We have been attacked though.

We haven't had incidents of the scope of 9/11, but we hadn't had any of that scope before than since Pearl Harbor.

The unfortunate result of Bush's tactics is to increase the number of people who feel attacking us is a viable option. All of the good will this country had after 9/11 has been completely frittered away.

We should have completed Afghanastan.
We should have stayed out of Iraq.
We should have been addressinging the inequities in Saudi Arabia et al but not at the tip of the sword.

Almost all of our clandestine activity wrt the Middle East has come back to bite us - ever since Iran/Contra (THANK YOU REAGAN!).

If we actually did what we said we were going to do and didn't tinker in regime changes, we'd be far more credible today and far better supported by the majority of people (if not governments) in the Middle East.

Answer 8

I'd bring the troops home and have them open and inspect every single container coming into the US.

Then I'd hire Circuit City tech guys to monitor terrorist activities, since they are the ones that thwarted the last attack.

And by the way, do you suppose that we could maybe, just maybe, catch the guy who masterminded the attacks in the first place? This failure is "emboldening the terrorists" and shows how impotent our intelligence agencies are.

George Bush = emboldening the enemy

Answer 9

Usually it's cut and run / surrender, try cash bribery {never works}, diplomacy {will get you overrun}, wail and gnash teeth at whomever DOES something, chant mantras before being beheaded by terrorists,

Round up the usual suspects, ship em to Al Qaida territory, and let the terrorists solve our far left antiwar nutjob problem !

Answer 10

How many terrorist attacks before 9/11? U.S. Spent 1.6 Trillion dollars on the war, that's right trillion. We could have bought Iraq with that.

FYI... I'm a conservative as it comes. Bush has done more to harm Republican party than any liberal Democrats have in last 7 years.

The person down there, so war solves problems?!?

Answer 11

Um, you're wrong. We have been attacked.

Remember the Anthrax deaths? That happened AFTER 9/11, and the perpetrator was never caught.

And it's not that we don't agree with his "anti-terrorism" actions, just his unprovoked, unjustified, and potentially illegal war in IRAQ, which had NOTHING to do with terrorism in the U.S. and DID NOT pose a direct, imminent threat to our country.

I supported his decision to go into Afghanistan, and still do. Bin Laden, dead or alive, remember?

But Iraq is a bloodbath of innocents, and I can't in good conscience agree with that.
