You asked what bush did, he invaded Afghanistan. don t start with asking more questions now, my answer was pretty clear.

Please allow me to correct you once again. You shortened my question. You can see my original question (which you’ve had four whole days to read and figure out) right here.

If you wish to pursue this any further, please be so good as to represent my position as it is, not as you wish it to be.

Not to mention spending 2-3 billion dollars a week over there for 3 years. Not to mention using the National Guard to go over there instead of keeping them here to protect us and our borders.

When ever a leftist is backed into a corner, you can count on them to ask more questions…..

I can t believe my republicans compadres have let Cracker in the Cellar get away with his constant mewling of  what did bush do & .

The entire question, my peer-reviewed friend, was “What did Bush do about al Qaeda that Clinton didn’t?”

Am I to understand that you think Mr. Clinton should have ordered an invasion of Afghanistan? Or is it an invasion of Iraq that you think would have prevented 9-11?

Afghanistan…..He invaded and subdued afghanistan….This was the nidus for all active Al Qaeda operations at the time. He didn’t lob a couple of cruise missiles, he didn’t ask the UN to shake a fist at them, he INVADED and subdued that country.

And the whole time liberals were screeching about fighting “land wars in Asia” and the “graveyard of the soviets” etc, etc.

And what has the worlds response been? Well, Khaddaffi gave up terrorist aspirations, Eqypt had elections and eventually so did Iraq….OH, and no attacks on US soil by foreign terrorists in over 4 years.

And that ridiculous elephant rock parable….puhllleeeese!

It is more like the “Sig-Sauer” parable. Amazingly enough, I was able to prevent a car-jacking with my magical sig sauer. When the guy open my door, he suddenly had the barrel of a 9mm automatic pasted to his forhead, and suddenly he decided he was late for another appointment…..! Amazing thing that little lump of metal…..But the lefties would have you believe it was just, lets see, to quote Ollie…”just dumb luck” that I wasn’t hijacked……

What a bunch of maroons…..

The Left wouldn’t have done a goddammed thing

And how many people died in that one, Dugger? What was the title of the PDB that Bush ignored? How many minutes did Bush sit on his stunned ass looking blankly into space after an aide whispered into his ear: “We’re under attack?”

If Gore were in the White House when 9-11 happened and had done exactly what Bush did, the GOP would have moved heaven and earth to have Gore impeached. “Now we really have something,” Rove would say and the airwaves would be filled to this day with split-screen images of Gore doing nothing alongside a shot of the towers falling. Gimme a break.

Damn, Jay, you’ve really swallowed the shit haven’t you? You’re a true believer. It’s miraculous you can still breathe under your own power.

Unless by perpetrators you mean people other than the immediate planners and executors of the act itself.

Mr. bin Laden is now “other”?

Being a much more reasonable person than most, I will acknowledge the technical accuracy of what you say. But it is a meaningless accuracy in that per your rationale, serial killers, who have always been with us, are evidently terrorists. As are the Tylenol poisoners etc etc. I think it more reasonable to limit the definition of terrorism to major attacks on people and/or facilities with a ideological/religious/political purpose in mind.

Dugger

Quaker,

Why capture a matchbox full of cinders? Unless by perpetrators you mean people other than the immediate planners and executors of the act itself.

Dugger

Lets see, Bubba then actually had two terrorist attacks on US soil during his tenure – WTC and OKC, right?

How many of the perpetrators were captured? How does that compare to our record on the 9-11 perpetrators?

The 9-11 perpetrators went to an immediate virgin-less hell. Why did it take Clinton so long?

What the…? Uh, because Tim McVeigh didn’t have the nuts to stay inside the Murrah building when it came down?

You make it sound as if the “immediate hell” was achieved through the agency of someone other than the hijackers themselves.

That’s, of course, a bald-faced lie. So when called on it, Jay C engages in bizarre parsing by which he excludes from his equation:

1. The American victims of the Anthrax Killer;

2. The American Victims of Sniper;

3. The Assassination of U.S. Diplomat Lawrence Foley in front of his residence in Amman, Jordan;

4. The Americans who were killed in the Bali bombing;

5. The attacks on the American Consulates in Karachi, Pakistan (June 2002) killing 12 and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (Dec 2004) killing 5;

6.The bombings at three American hotels in Amman, Jordan that killed 57 people (two of the hotels Clinton prevented from being bombed during his watch);

7. The kidnapping and execution of American Paul Johnson in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; and

8. The thousands of American soldiers, contractors and other citizens killed in Iraq.

Jay C, just please stop with the silly talking point already.

So what? The 9-11 perpetrators went to an immediate virgin-less hell. Why did it take Clinton so long?

Lets see, Bubba then actually had two terrorist attacks on US soil during his tenure – WTC and OKC, right? Versus Bush’s one.

Dugger

Oooppps … if the parsing is based on American soil (strictly meaning within the 50 states as apparently you do), you seem to have conveniently forgotten the Anthrax Killer and sniper.

Oh wait…

Jay, your initial entry into this thread (well, after the hilarious parrot joke) asserted:

the Clinton administration that did abso-fucking-lutely NOTHING to clamp down on Al Qaeda.

I’ve been asking–and asking again–for an explanation of your curious defense of Mr. Bush. You first spoke of actions:

the Clinton administration that did abso-fucking-lutely NOTHING

I asked about actions:

What has Bush done about al Qaeda that Clinton didn t?

The absence of attacks on U.S. soil is an outcome, not an action. So let me cut and paste the questions from above:

What has Bush done about al Qaeda that Clinton didn t?
What has the Bush administration done that Clinton didn t?
[W]ho is the  we who  didn t do enough to cut off the money ?
Which country do you think Clinton should have invaded to  kill a lot of them ?
