I’ll put my safety in the hands of Republicans
Leonard Pitts article talking around this terrorism and freedom is convoluted. First of all I value the safety President Bush did provide this country and there is nothing leftist/liberals can do to diminish that major accomplishment of protection. Pitts like the rest of the media is really setting the stage to excuse Obama for the next terrorist attack—oh wait they are not terrorists are they Pitts— no to Obama and the Democrats they are “freedom fighters”.
Speaking of which Pitts wants ”freedom and then security” or is his wish freedom or security. That is like his ”non-sequitor dressed up as logic”—accusation against Cheney’s condemnation of Obama’s fuzzy headed offers to negotiate with the 2 Crazies from N. Korea and Iran. It seems both have put Obama in his place telling he and the world to stuff it. Obama does not have the sense to be embarassed by their out of hand rejection of his kiss-up to them with his offers to negotiate without pre-conditions. That was really just liberal continuation of trying to denigrate President Bush’s style of placing them in an axis of evil.
Pitts is also trying to re-write history. Clinton provided no safety to this country whatsoever. Had he gone after bin Laden after the first World Trade Center bombing there would not have been the second 9/11 disaster. But Clinton was either too cowardly or too busy bedding 21 year old interns to go after that “freedom fighter”
No thanks Pitts, I will place my safety and freedom in the hands of Republicans any day over liberal Democrats. We will see what the American public thinks when the next “freedom fighters” sneak their bomb across the Mexican border under cover of a bunch of illegals. I just hope they place the bomb under Pitt’s sorry butt and not my sorry butt.

Chas, yes, it happened on Bush’s watch; happy now? Now how about answering the question, what would you have done with the Aug memo?
Bush did an excellent job of keeping the 3,000 people killed on 9/11 “safe”. Anyone here take the time to read the 9/11 commision report? Its free on the internet. While it would be unfair to definately say that 9/11 could have prevented,after reading the report it sure seems “Tenet,Rice,and Bush were asleep at the wheel.
Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum asks what we would’ve done with the same info. My answer? I don’t know. I’m a banker and not the leader of the free world. The leader of the free world should know. But he didn’t. His bad.
I expect my president to be a lot smarter than me rather than giving me a nickname and slapping me on the back. The current one is loads smarter than I am, thank god. I don’t set the bar that high!
The really evil part is that he used his mistake (i.e. letting 9/11 happen) to justify a horrendous and expensive war that’s killed way more ppl than 9/11.
And to the writer of the original letter, I’d like to see one shred of evidence where Obama or any democrat has called terrorists “freedom fighters” If you’re going to criticize someone, at least criticize them for something they actually did. For instance, I could criticize you for writing a short-sighted, lie-filled letter, because that’s something you actually did.
my id,
What would you have done??? Can you imagine the rage of the ACLU and the left wing of this country if the Bush admin or Clinton admin had tried to create a homeland security dept and the current airport restrictions pre 9/11? It is really ashamed that the left’s utter hatred of President Bush is so clouding their minds and judgement, all the while turning a blind eye to BHO as he bankrupts and socializes our once great country.
“Damn Si, if we had just gone after Bin Laden, instead of attacking Iraq, maybe we wouldn’t be having this argument.
BTW, did it or did int NOT happen on George’s watch ?”

HKCAS! How dare you bring your ‘facts’ into a discussion with Si and this genius ‘Ron Jones’, who is apparently unaware that the Bushies put no stock into Richard Clarke’s warnings until after they came true…
Sub Par Cerebellum is correct.
The Republicans made a political circus out of a blue dress in 1998 at the expense of taxpayers and the death of 3000 Americans. President Clinton would have concentrated on capturing Bin Laden before Bush was caught sleeping at the helm….
And for what?
If the same intelligence was provided to clinton about UBL attacking skyscrapers, then he must’ve paid those intelligence reports some attention as the WTC was still standing when he left office.
I still don’t understand how the 22%-ers who STILL think the sun rises and sets over W’s arse can’t see that his administration fell asleep when it was his turn to drive the bus. All the intelligence told him what was going to happen but they were all so clouded by wanting to attack Iraq, they ignored what was in front of their noses….unless those WMD’s were found…or that link to Saddam and UBL…or one of the many other bogus reasons Americans were forced to swallow after 9/11.
Ok,
To all:
Do you really and truely believe that 9/11 was 100% the fault of President Bush? Or do you just simply hate him so much it’s convenient to smear him?
Buddy…
We just get a little tired of hearing how safe we were under Bush.
More Americans were killed on U.S. soil than any other President since the Civil War.
Bud,
I’ll pose the same question. Do you really believe 9-11 was 100% the fault of President Clinton? Or do you simply just hate him so much as to smear him?
