Were the Bushies bragging that we hadn't been hit since 9/11?

[Road Scholar]

I wonder how the terrorist are taking that.I don't think I'd brag about it.Talk about aggravating a bad situation. Damn.More taking points.

[CarolynEC]

1. Bush: "We've only had ONE catastrophic terrorist attack...

... on MY watch."

That's sure something to brag about.

[SoCalDemocrat]

7. Bush keeps ignoring terrorists

Bush ignored them in 2000, and they hit us on 9/11.

He ignored Ansar Al Islam, lead by Zarquawi, for two years in Iraq after 9/11. Now the are cutting off heads and killing our troops by the hundreds.

The guy is an incompetent failure.

[Parche]

2. 9/11

but we were HIT ON Sept 11th, during his Presidency
and he did nothing, sat dazed,confused, and dumb

[RobertSeattle]

3. Using similiar convoluted logic - Clinton kicks ass!

Clinton stopped Islamist Terrorist attacks on US Soil from February 26, 1993 (first WTC attack) to January 20, 2001 (Shrub Inauguration day) or 2885 straight days - even while getting a hummer!

[UCSBLiberalCat53]

4. Freeper logic

but it doesn't matter because he was getting a hummer. All of the positives are negated because of that stupid hummer. This means that Clinton was the worst president. /sarcasm

[Disturbed]

5. Special Alert?

Why were the airlines not on special alert after the CIA Memo of
al Q. intentions of highjacking US planes?

Why was the hunt for al Q. members not elevated after the FBI and CIA knew some were in the US?

The Bush Admin. failed to protect America before 911 Attack and on the day of the attack.

The 911 Commission assigned no specific blame but should have.

As with all of the other failures and crimes of GW Bush, he is protected from any accountability.

[RobertSeattle]

6. Very true

RWers have this amazing balancing act where one pithy thing a (D) does bad is given equal weight as a huge bad thing a (R) does.

"Bush lied about going to war...But Clinton lied about a Blow Job...Even Steven...Next topic!"

[Road Scholar]

8. This is probably the most important election of modern times

I hope Kerry and Edwards take the gloves off and do "whatever it takes" 'till Nov,2.

[BurtWorm]

9. That's like the Mets saying, We haven't blown the World Series since 2000.

Of course they haven't come anywhere near having the chance to blow a World Series since 2000...

:eyes:

[AlCzervik]

10. It's almost the same thing as his

"Bring em on!" comment. It's like he's daring them, of course he's got countless bunkers that he and Chney can hide in, as for the rest of us, he'll give stump speeches or better yet, the state of the union speech on our skulls.

[ThoughtCriminal]

11. But if we do get hit here before election

They will say it was because the terrorists want Kerry to win. Good old GOP-Logic.

[Road Scholar]

12. Since this election has gotten underway......

I have decided that you can actually make chicken salad out of chicken shit. If we win, maybe we could get Carl Rove a job at a waste treatment plant.

[shockingelk]

13. It's a twisted LIE! Check list of al Qaeda attacks

14. Al Qaida may be waiting until after our election to attack us.

They are delighted with the way Bush has alienated the muslim world. They consider him a fool, and want nothing more than for him to continue as our president. Iraq has become a sanctuary for terrorists, and a recruiting tool for al Qaida to gain and train more terrorists. Why would they want to upset things, and possibly get a U.S. president who will use his intelligence to deal with them?

[Road Scholar]

15. I hope that you're wrong but......

what is so worrisome, I'm afraid that you are exactly right. This country can't take many 9/11's. Busies are such fools. They have got to go before they ruin this country.

[AntiCoup2K4]

16. Actually, what some Freeper types actually believe is WORSE!

Here's what one such person said to me on another board this morning....

Democrats - Defenders of the rubber spine.

I'm glad for one thing, you'll never know about the attacks on our country that Bush has averted with his actions.

And my response to him...

You can't possibly believe that bullshit :eyes:

Here's the reality: The worst terrorist attack on this country took place under Junior's watch - or lack thereof.

He knew it was coming August 6, 2001, if not before? What was his immediate response?

THE WORTHLESS MOTHERFUCKER WENT ON VACATION FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH.

For that alone he should have resigned or have been impeached on September 12, 2001.

At best, they were wilfully negligent. At worst, they were directly involved. In either case, they did not do what was required to protect this country.
