well, first of all, I don''''''''t think any president is ever on "vacation" even if it''''''''s in hawaii. Secondly, the information they had was so opaque and non-specific that there was no way of knowing the time, date, location, or plan. It''''''''s like telling somebody they''''''''re gonna die "soon" in some horrible accident.

You are just being a partisan apologist.

Can you seriously say if that had happened on a Democratic President''''s watch that you wouldn''''t have hollered bloody murder if that same info had been known?

If you say, ''''yes'''', I will call you a downright absolute LIAR!

Posted by ofbyfor3 at 01:41 PM : Jan 15, 2009

laughs, you''''re a LIAR!

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.

Did Clarke provide specifics on where the attacks would take place ? NO he didn''''t, but of course you wish to use this as a indictment of inaction
"prior" to the attack, while Clinton didn''''t act, even after the 1st WTC bombing, other than convicting the rental car drivers

He had no tools or Commands to work with. He sold the tools and closed bases to balance the budget.
His eye was on the economy, and not National Security.

Clinton best illustrated the results of talking and handshaking. We had no Country left, with money based on air, the bread basket shut down and mercury filled to retrieve waste water, Enron was the power.
We thought we were rich, but it was all funny Monopoly game money falling into a recession.

let''''''''s hope obama is on the ball. I''''''''m sure al qaeda has big plans for him, too.

Posted by jgg00005 at 01:40 PM : Jan 15, 2009

As long as he doesn''''t take a 7 week vacation after only 6 months on the job, and ignores everything to do with his job while he''''s on vacation, then we should be fine.

I hope you''re right

Sorry - the ''''68'''' is the birth year.

And I am obviously far more educated than ANY of you Bush cheer leading morons.

I don''t believe you and you didn''t deny the rest of it so I think I got you. you keep referring to "educated" so I am pretty sure I got you. I am actually very "educated" if you must know. however I will have you know that there is more to learn in life than in a classroom. I have met many PHDs that were full blown idiots.

it has to do with life and death and your safety

Posted by jgg00005 at 01:32 PM : Jan 15, 2009

My life was NEVER threatened by anyone.

The WTC was attacked because they were the shining symbol of our wealth and power.

I, as a citizen, am not.

Posted by hungry685

your life wasn''t physically threatened because you happened to be fortunate. Your "way of life" indeed was threatened as well as your safety.

hungry685, i am guessing that you were not even old enough to vote on 9/11. i assume the "85" is a birth year. you never responded to my other claims about the dorm room so i am assuming that is also correct. i know your liberal college teachers seem right now but when you actually start living in this world and paying real bills and are not so influenced by your liberal educators (i know i was there once) you will look back at the views you had now and laugh. hopefully that is

Party lines are hardly viable anymore .
We all recognize that Republicans crossed to place a Congress to impeach Bush...we also know that Dems crossed the lines to elect him in the first place.
Republicans put Obama in power silly person, Dems didn''t have the numbers after their idiot Congress failed to act.

We as a whole are stuck with what we elect.

Globalizing into Republicans hiding, hardly explains who signed up when things went South does it?

I think if they had not excluded, but instead counted the Military votes, we could say wether or not Obama had their support.

But not on Bush''''s watch, right?

He kept us safe - I remember because you told me, so it must be true.

How can you claim he has kept us safe, and EXCLUDE 9/11?

You''''ve already proven that your too uneducated to understand who attacked us or or why, and I''''m sick of educating you ignorant people.

It''''s been 8 years - there''''s no reason that you shouldn''''t know WHY we were attacked - and it wasn''''t to "spread islam".

Posted by hungry685

NEWS FLASH!!!!
Americans as a whole never gave a rats azz about the Middle East. We still don''t.
Islam attacked and we kicked butt.

If they don''t like what answers the door they shouldn''t come knocking.

If we leave all of the Middle East tomarrow, Americans will not care. All we do care about is the safety of our troops deployed there.

The war between Israel and Islam is just nutty stuff to us, because Americans put Americans first, and leave old ways to the past.
