Hypothetically, How would a Liberal President have reacted during the 9/11 attacks?

Answer 1

he/she would have sent sympathy cards to all of the terrorist's families, and made all the victims pay a fine, and force them to take a class on how to be a better friend to the suicide bombers.

Answer 2

All you have to do is know your history. When the USS Cole was attacked, it wasn't even on USA soil, yet Clinton did NOTHING! What the terrorists did, attacking our Navy ship in Yemen was an act of war, especially having killed our soldiers! Somalia, when Clinton did NOTHING, when our soldiers were attacked, on a so-called PEACEFUL mission, not letting the Black Hawks defend themselves...JFC!...and when, Clinton also did NOTHING when our own people were attacked, and murdered by terrorists in our embassy in Africa!
Bill Clinton is a liberal, just like his wife, and what did he ever do, but NOTHING?????
All of these attacks were acts of WAR, but poor, loving Clinton preferred PEACE!
WHAT PEACE???!!!!???
Bush, Rice, Card, and the rest of the Republican administration were ill-prepared for 9/11, because Bill Clinton refused to give over the keys to Bush to the FBI, and CIA offices of secret documents, for over 2 months! Clinton was responsible for 9/11, since he kept the new administration in the DARK. It is the responsibility of an old administration to immediately hand over those keys to the new administration BEFORE they literally take office!
Clinton failed US, and he is a Liberal, and was a Liberal President.
Now you KNOW what a Liberal president will do if America is attacked again. Thank God Clinton was OUT, and Bush was IN, when 9/11 happened, or else more American citizens would be dead NOW!

Answer 3

No one can say for sure. Whenever I have seen any Democratic Liberal asked what he/she would have done all they ever say is what they would not have done. They refuse to answer the question. I hope a Liberal President would know what to do but you have to admit, the current Democratic Party has its hands pretty much tied by the anti-war part of the Party. If anyone can please provide a link to any site where the Democrats explain how they would have responded to 9/11? I am not being a wise guy, I really want to know even if I disagree with what they say.

I honestly do not know.

Merry Christmas!

Answer 4

What a great concept.I mean think what Bill did.He imprisoned a couple of guys.Then they went and got themselves a left-wing(Capitalist hating also)lawyer whom lost her license(and avoided prison) for helping funnel notes to other terrorist cells in other countries.Boy that was smooth.
Then when having a chance to put down a criminal was lost in The White House for a few hours.Then when found after he was done with Monica didn't want to make enemies.


Hillabill hasn't said anything(God forbid she has to think on her feet).
Ohbama has said what he would do,and that's pretty scary.
Edwards maybe he would sue,and channel the voices of the dead(Hey he did once before.).
Who knows what Ron Paul would do.

Answer 5

Well lets look at what happened with the Terrorist attacks that occured between 1992 and 2000.

Khobar Towers-nothing
WTC basement-nothing
USS Cole-nothing
US Embassies in Africa-nothing

I'm just guessing here but i'd say nothing.

A.C.

Answer 6

Well he or she may have followed the Clinton plan and just ignored it or moved on to other national business. Pres. Clinton did this while a US embassy was bombed, the USS Cole was suicide bombed in harbor, and other similar actions took place.

Imagine Pres. Kerry and VP who? Kerry who shames Vietnam veterans for their courageous acts with a congress similar to that during the Vietnam War attempting to lose the present war against terrorism. Unlike Bush, he would not even recognize the event as the needed beginning of US invovlement in WWIII.

A lot of the world has already lost their wars on terrorism to Muslims. Look at the recent histories of Africa, Indonesia, the Phillipines, India and Sri Lanka, and the Southern Russian provinces of the former Soviet Union. The faithful to Islam have been very successful.

Yes, under a liberal president, the US probably would be faced with more in country successful attacks and very little response to them. Well there may be a response, allowing Shiria law to exist in limited parts of the country, with cab drivers, at airports with foot washing stalls, and in retail meet markets where Muslims are allowed not to service those customers buying pork. And in neighborhoods with sufficient Muslim majority the free use of shiria amongst consenting members of the neighborhood associations [is this already happening in Dearborn, MI? I do not know.].

Answer 7

If Bill Clinton had been in, he would have sent the entire military into Afghanistan to get bin Laden. He had been criticized for not getting bin Laden...he would have seen his chance, had the green light, and sent everything but the kitchen sink into Afghanistan.

Bush, of course, had his eyes set on Iraq's oil, so he sent the same number of troops into Afghanistan that New York has cops.

Bin Laden would be sitting in a federal prison awaiting execution by now if Clinton had been in office.

Idiot, your name is fitting. What do you think the August 20, 1998 cruise missile strikes were for?

Also, regarding the Cole:

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/09/24/clinton.binladen/index.html

BEGIN QUOTE:

The former president said he authorized the CIA to kill bin Laden and overthrow the Taliban in Afghanistan after the bombing of the USS Cole in 2000, but the action was never carried out. Clinton said that was because the United States could not establish a military base in Uzbekistan and because U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies refused to certify that bin Laden was behind the bombing.

"The entire military was against sending special forces into Afghanistan and refueling by helicopter. And no one thought we could do it otherwise, because we could not get the CIA and the FBI to certify that al Qaeda was responsible while I was president."

END QUOTE

Answer 8

He would have blamed "republican" traitors for building such tall buildings in the first place!! Then he would have a commision study the causes for having such TALL buildings in the first place. Then their would be a senate hearing to impeach all building contractors but all illegals employed by such contractors would be given amnesty. Finally all airplanes would be banned and enviromentally friendly zepplins would replace them. Then of course he would give foreign aid to the terrorists and make them put trigger locks on their AK 47s.

Answer 9

Would have requested sanctions for Afghanistan. A trade embargo would teach them.

Answer 10

My best guess is that they would have granted them amnesty and a safe haven here in the US and then ignore that it ever happened.

Answer 11

I guess it would depend on which lib was president at the time. Al Gore would have wanted to sit down with bin laden and discuss his problems with the USA, Hillbilly would have followed in her husband footsteps and lobbed a couple of bombs at no one, while sticking her hand in our wallets secretly.John Kerry probably would have attacked Al Queda and then tried to take it all back, followed by a speech about how it was really all our fault for acting like Jenjis (sic) Kahn.
