More proof that Clinton did nothing about terrorism. Too bad McCollum can't win the senate seat.

When I think of the Clintons I think of the movie, "The Ten Commandments." When DeMill says, "Let the name Moses be stricken from ever tablet and every oblisk in the kingdom, and never let his name be spoken again", I think of the Clintons and say to myself, "So let it be written. So let it be done!"

I can't fathom a great nation like this having the likes of them representing it.

“It was pretty clear during the Clinton era that they heard our reports but just didn’t care,” said former Rep. Bill McCollum (R-Fla.).

I just can't wait to see this on all the Sunday morning shows!

I just can't wait to see this.

I just can't wait.

Never mind.

Sometimes criticism is the best compliment:

The most comprehensive and frightening treatment of Islam as a potential enemy of the United States is found in the work of Yossef Bodansky, former technical editor of Israeli Air Force magazine. Bodansky was staff director of the House Republican Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, chaired by Rep. Bill McCollum of Florida. The report of the task force [possible text?] viewed Islam as the successor to communism, aiming to "topple the Judaeo-Christian new world order." Bodansky, whom according to McCollum, was the author of this report, wrote a paperback book on the same subject after the World Trade Center bombing of February 1993. The theme of the book is suggested into the author's preface: "Islamic terrorism has embarked on a Holy War, Jihad, against the West, especially the United States, which is being waged primarily through international terrorism."

If anybody has not yet read "Losing Bin Laden," (Regnery) by Richard Miniter, DO SO. It is a great read, very clear and concise, and it shows plainly that Spot (42) was sleeping on the job and allowed Al Qaeda to terrorize Americans with impunity again, and again, and again.

From the first WTC bombing in 1993, to Blackhawk Down in Mogadishu, to a plot to murder the Pope in the Phillipines, to OBL declaring war on every U.S. citizen, to the attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, to the failed Millennium plot to the attack on the U.S.S. Cole off the coast of Yemen. Yet Spot didn't retaliate.

Clinton punted.

He repeatedly rejected Sudan's offers to hand over Bin Laden, or share a wealth of vital intel on him.

He ignored Mansoor Ijaz, one of his big political fundraisers.

He bombed an empty aspirin factory.

He lobbed a missile at OBL's training camp and then--inexplicably--had the Joint Chiefs of Staff Vice Chairman tip off the Pakistani Army's Chief of Staff that a missile was crossing Pakistan's airspace at that moment heading for Osama, who excused himself and warned OBL, who escaped with minutes to spare.

He wouldn't pull the trigger even when we knew OBL's precise whereabouts in Afghanistan, on multiple occasions.
His administration didn't have the political guts and the pair of brass ones to be committed and serious about a real threat to America.

"Too bad McCollum can't win the senate seat."

I agree, but I don't know if it's too bad. I rooted for him from afar, but he never struck me as very appealing.
