Why did this conjure a picture of Clinton''s voice saying "I never should have sold that arsenal" rather than " I never Had *** with that woman "?

[enviro_wacko]

Make no mistake, in the next attack on Obama''''s watch , it cannot be blamed on Bush. He has made every attempt possible to bring Obama up to speed, (which means intel is only as good as the source you chose to believe and act on).
Gut feelings are for big money traders and Presidents.

Oh really. So if, for instance, Bush''s policies have radicalized the entire Islamic world and we see the consequences of that in the next four years, we can''t say Bush was, in part or in full, the cause.

[dottydo]

The object is to PREVENT the attacks in the first place - not in how you react AFTERWARDS.

But once I have that warning, I can make plans to act / react accordingly.

Not to go on a 7 week vacation, and NEVER give credence to the threat at all.

In an internal targeting threat, is the metal colander with feet the best quick and close plan?

I hope the Zar answers that one on the 21st too.

[enviro_wacko]

how about "We ain''''''''t gonna get bin laden" period, if the Special Forces haven''''t been able to find him yet, what makes you think they will now ? because Obama''''s in office for 4 years ? no

Posted by Joe-NY at 02:31 PM : Jan 15, 2009

American Special Forces don''t have it as together as you think. In comparison to French Commandos or Russian Spetsnaz, American Special Forces are rubes.

[dottydo]

Well first of all, house to house fighting is a new concept created by donnie rumsfeld. Usually armies don''''t do that sort''''a thing.. at least not in free countries. And secondly, Afghanistan is too moutainous.. its a ''''ya gotta live there'''' type thing. The Russians found that out the hard way, and now we are.. thanks to Bush.

I guess maybe that''s true, because in Nam it was hooch to hooch.
WWII it was Villa to Villa or farm house to farm house.

We can blame Rummy for it as house to house, sounds good man.

===darling, on 9/10 we had no reason to put those security measures in place.===

The h3ll we didn''t.

[rafterman1]

===Is there some reason you guys want to act like the Afghanistan war didn''''t happen, like we went from 9/11 to Iraq in one move ? there was this thing called the Afghanistan war===
Posted by Joe-NY

And I was for Afghanistan. But by going into Iraq, Bush completely destoyed any chance we had for success in Afghanistan. The Iraq debacle is directly linked to and part of the lack of success we are having in Afghanistan. You can''t seperate the two. And getting the camps wasn''t enough. Afghanistan needs to be stabilized, otherwise those camps are going to pop right back up. Even a first year cadet knows you don''t go to war on two fronts.

remember your comment next time you go to an airport.
The hoops you''''''''ll jump through are because everybody else is threatened, except you.

It''''s just too bad those security measures weren''''t in place, when Bush received the al Qaeda warnings, instead of AFTER the attack.

And the ONLY time I fly anymore, is if the drive is 12 hours or more.

darling, on 9/10 we had no reason to put those security measures in place.

[jgg00005]

It was pointed out to you several times, that the Bush administration was REPEATEDLY warned about the threat:

I can warn you that I''m going to kill your family in horrible ways, but unless you know how, when, where, who, how many, you don''t know squat.

what ya got against chainsaws?

It would be wiser to chainsaw the Katie Obama love fest than the little people with opinions.
CBS is dissed in most coffee bars, as not credible news source.
When is she going to be announced to be his Press Secretary?

Maybe you can get a real journalist who displays no biases that doesn''t reek as bad as old Congress does.
Journalism and Congress needs a do overis a strong perception.

Just look at Joe, who is "the most trusted name in Journalism" to this Public today.

Yup, syndicates have sunk that low!!!

[jgg00005]

Do you have the guts to answer ''''yes'''' or ''''no''''?
(crickets)

Posted by ofbyfor3

look at my other post. I gave you a long answer the last word of which was "yes"

[ofbyfor3]

I''''m not making any ecuses for failure. 9/11 was an event unlike any other in the world in history. No one could have ever imagined the scope and plot involved. Actually, it was planned under Clinton''''s watch, and executed under Bush''''s so they are both to blame if we are blaming anyone. I''''m glad there hasn''''t been another one. But to answer your yes or no question, I would say "yes"

Posted by jgg00005 at 02:01 PM : Jan 15, 2009

Good for you; you have the decency to be honest.

[jgg00005]

they don''''''''''''''''t go after individuals, they go for numbers

Posted by jgg00005

it''''''''s not like "let''''''''s kill the fire captain", it''''''''s "let''''''''s kill the fire department"

Posted by jgg00005 at 01:55 PM : Jan 15, 2009

So you admit that I was never in serious jeopardy or threatened?

Good for you - you''''re making progress.

===Bush, after the fact, he DID something about it, for real===
Posted by Joe-NY

But Bush went after the wrong target (Iraq).

[ofbyfor3]

Posted by jgg00005 at 01:53 PM : Jan 15, 2009

Are you saying that you would have made the same excuses for failure to act on the same intel if 9-11 had happened on Clinton''s watch?

It''s a simple yes or no answer.

Do you have the guts to answer ''yes'' or ''no''?

You continue to prove your increasing levels of stupidity, day by day. Instead of falling for all the internet rumors, lies and conspiracy theories that your far right wing masters want you to believe and spread, why don''t you learn what Obama is really about. He''s not perfect, but all this garbage about Obama not believing in anything you belive in is too stupid to even have to comment on.

[yongamerica]

Obama recognizes Syria''s and Iran''s roles in funding, equipping and training proxy armies throughout the Mideast and Africa. No Western Leader has broached this subject directly with these two countries. It will be interesting to see what pans out when these two countries are called out on their active international terrorist involvements.

hungry, Why you gotta start callin me names. I thought we were making real progress. I gotta go kitten and I did still get you. it''s been fun.
