"People know what's he's done ... people know that to get a Medal of Honor you have to be a special person or do something really great."

But listen to the defining silence that will come from the left wing liberal democrats like Ted Kennedy. Expect Hillary to join in with false adulation for this great American hero and his family.

In stark contrast to the bravery of our fighting men, who support the President, we see liberal democrats running away from the fight. Afraid to stand and accept the consequences of war, as the President has done. These liberal deserters are cowards who concocted lies about the President.

Harry Truman, who ordered the death of millions of Japanese civilians, said “if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen”. Which is what the democrats have been doing ever since. They got out of Viet Nam, out of Mogadishu, and Somalia, failed in Angola, and out of Nairobi, and thankfully they are finally out of the Whitehouse.

THE MUKHABARAT, A SUDANESE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, spent the early to mid-1990s amassing copious amounts of information on bin Laden and his cohorts at a time when they were relatively unknown and their activities limited, author David Rose reports. From the fall of 1996 until weeks before the September 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, the Mukhabarat made repeated efforts to share its files on terrorists with the U.S. On more than one occasion senior F.B.I. officials wanted to accept the offers, but were apparently overruled by the State Department.

Would President Bush have had to give this family the Congressional Medal of Honor if the Clinton administration had stopped bin laden when they had the chance?

When the Marines went into Somalia, they had great support and air cover from AC-130 Spectres. This was under the first President Bush. The Marines came home from Somalia after Clinton took office. Task Force Ranger went in at the direction of Bill Clinton and Les Aspin. This was a FUBARed operation from the get go ending with the loss of over a dozen Rangers and some Delta Force operators and Black Hawk pilots. The incompetence of Clinton and Aspin in military matters were directly responsible for these:

I display them proudly. But they are not worth the lives of good men who did not make it home because of a mission that was a farce.
