Bush Superbly Cleans Up Clinton's Mess ( Bush Takes Out the Trash from the Clinton Hangover )

Bush Superbly Cleans Up Clinton's Mess

And it should be mentioned that Republican and conservative dignitaries as well were out among the public, bringing awareness to the plight of these unfortunate Afghani women. For instance, Congressman Ben Gilman (R-NY), former chairman of the House International Relations Committee, and Dr. Jeane Kirkpatrick, former ambassador to the United Nations, have been outspoken on this specific issue of the Taliban oppression of women, in addition to highlighting other human rights violations throughout the globe.

But I don't hear a peep out of Mavis Leno and the feminist community, or the left leaning intelligentsia, regarding the fact that the Taliban and Osama bin Laden remained essentially unscathed during the Clinton administration of the 1990's, and were even permitted to flourish. Aren't these liberals the least bit upset that Bill Clinton did nothing significant to rein in the activities of these Taliban scoundrels and their affiliated al Qaeda compadres? Remember, the Taliban's ascendancy to power in Afghanistan occurred around 1994, well within Clinton's scope to provide effective intervention. Besides perpetrating wide scale atrocities against women, and establishing themselves as the premier purveyors of illegal narcotics (providing more than 75% of the world's heroin), the Taliban also made an unholy alliance with Osama bin Laden and his Islamic terrorist organization, al Qaeda. And, of course, the al Qaeda network was behind a panoply of terrorist activities targeting US assets during the Clinton administration such as the bombing strikes upon the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, two American embassies in Africa, the USS Cole in Aden, Yemen, and NYC's Twin Towers (1993). Unquestionably, Clinton did nothing to ameliorate problems stemming from the militant Islamic world, problems that only became exacerbated over time.

Furthermore, the aforesaid says nothing of the manner in which Bill Clinton caused other widespread calamity for this nation. Essentially, Clinton was bereft of leadership and vision during his tenure, permitting the American military, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (now colloquially known as Famous But Incompetent) to utterly decline. The Bush administration is currently subjecting the Armed Forces and these agencies to systematic review and thorough overhaul, in order to make them truly responsive to America's needs during this exceedingly challenging landscape of the 21st Century.

No, the liberals will never properly scrutinize and criticize the failings of their hero, former President Bill Clinton. And I doubt that they will give adequate credit to a splendid Republican such as President George W. Bush, despite his notable military and diplomatic achievements that are readily evident only 10 months into his administration. Clearly, Bush is not an insipid, inept, bumbling idiot, as the liberals have tried to portray him. In fact, the public has quickly warmed to President Bush as a formidable commander-in-chief, and a man of character. And they appreciate Bush's wartime consiglieri, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, as well.

And after the Afghanistan phase of this campaign is completed, it is on to Iraq to drive out of power Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden's associate in crime.

I found the above story and it was like

President Bush Takes Out the Trash from the Clinton Hangover

President Bush Takes Out the Trash from the Clinton Hangover The years that Clinton held office are compared to excess, lies and trash. Enter George W. Bush who has had to under take the job of trashman. The one that takes out the trash and gets rid of it.

President Bush has gone after the terrorist and we have not been attacked for almost a year. Bin Laden is dead. The network of terror is in shambles. Unlike Clinton who bombs camels for cover up of an affair.

One thing after another President Bush has had to clean up the mess left behind by Clinton. Give the New President his due as he takes out the trash from the Clinton hagover.

When would you declare "victory" in the War on Terrorism? Is tomorrow soon enough, next week, next year? BTW TIPS is dead.

I think President Bush has stopped many attacks on our country just by his actions since 911. The war against this kind of enemy AND THE time line was spelled out by President Bush back in January in his speech to the nation.

The Clinton trash is not being taken out, not just yet, but it is being discovered, over and over and over.

The Clinton trash still exists in the State Department, the Pentagon's "Grain Silo" of useless Generals and staff officers and many other Fed offices.

The war on terrorism is neccasary though until we get serious enough to take military action against the Saudis who are both the source of Islamic terrorism funding and its ideology( and I believe a horrible example must be made of the Saudis ala Ghenghis Khan) it is not being fought correctly. TIPs scares the bejesus out of me it makes me wonder whether we should just call Bush "Der Fuhrer" instead of the President.

Former GOP Congresswoman Linda Smith from Washington State worked very hard on behalf of the women and children in Afghanistan after losing her bid to take the Senate seat held by Patty Murray. Democrat women were too busy championing scoundrels like Clinton to give the oppressed women around the world a serious thought or helping hand.

Unless Muslims are banished from our borders( I would exempt Turks) and Saudi Arabia is destroyed we will face another terrorist attack in the future. Ive personally thought of something they could that no security in the world could stop barring their expulsion.

Right, of course Bush can do no wrong and anyone who dares criticize must be mad (like Freud who decided anyone who did not agree with him must be mad too).

Well when folks stop using drugs then the WOD is over. When Terrorists stop killing us then the WOT is over. Do you see a pattern here?

The war on terrorism is more winnable then the WOD( btw TexasForever is a drug warrior so don't try to appeal to him with that logic or any logic for that matter) we need to recognize the source of the problem. Muslims or to be more specific upper class Wahabbi male muslims( beduin hicks are not a problem spoiled oilboys are). Wipe them out and you win the war on terrorism.

Your post indicates there is some rationality amongst the 'Bush Brown Nosers', Sycophants, et al. but what is the likelihood (really) of having a swipe against the Saudis.

I do so look forward to the day when 'the people' finally understand the both the Democrats and Republicans are essentially the same thing. One (Democrats) will restrict our freedoms using things that will pertain to the left agenda whilst the other will do the same from the right. A classic pincer strategy.

So you would have let 9/11 go unanswered, or do you just fight for a little while and crawl back under your rock? What would you do? What would you have done? We are all waiting to revel and awe at what your resolve would be. NOT.

What would be your answer? Bomb an asprin factory and say ..."See, we did something.".....or would you do something as impotent, like "negotiate"??

Please exit through the side door, your idiocy is showing.

How do you know? In fact if such a thing was done (and I am speaking academically now), would someone with your belief system ever question it. One could argue that you're rallying behind the cause exactly as predicted.
