Now George, don't pick on your brother!
That assumes GWB has never pointed this out before - see above.
This means to me AD may come about after all.
In hindsight, it is easy to level such a charge. To defend Reagan, however, he had more important things on his plate than the lesser threat of Islamic terrorism - that's just a fact that unfortunately played a part in 9/11. I fault Clinton because, during a peacetime inherited from Reagan / Bush, he should have been the one to deal with these "lesser" threats.
"They will fail because the terrorists of our century are making the same mistake that the followers of other totalitarian ideologies made in the last century. They believe that democracies are inherently weak and corrupt and can be brought to their knees.
You'd think they'd look at our history.
"We've seen in the last decade the decline of the American government and the weakness of the American soldier, who is ready to wage cold wars and unprepared to fight long wars...
Right. That one only lasted...(what) 40 + years.
I am sure that Osama was emboldened by the US during the Clinton administration helping muslims to kill christians (SERBS) when we destroyed all of the bridges over the Danube and killed 3,000 innocent civilians. That was direct evidence of our stupidity and weakness.

Makes a person wonder what we're overlooking today.
Of course we fought our own revolution and then two World Wars. Unfortunately, the terrorists were right about our most recent history (see 8 years of Clinton) and used that to brainwash new recruits.
I will agree that was direct evidence of CLINTON's stupidity and weakness ; )
Just like the terrorists believed we would not respond after 9/11, Clinton thought Bush would not respond to him.
Cough...China...cough cough.
Well finally, Bush found enough cajonies to hang the truth on the Clintons for all to see.
Bush found out what we all knew for years that Clinton is a scumbag, lying, traitorous, womanizing, worthless piece of humnanity that ever went to the bathroom behind two heels.
I hope the American people will finally get to see the truth printed on the front pages of the world's newpapers about this sorry pinch of dirt!
To name one. But I'm thinking something that's not quite so much on the front burner. What it is I have no idea, but I know it's out there lurking in the gap.
"Saddam Hussein's son Uday
killed last week by coalition forces
apparently knew months ago that his demise was imminent. The London Telegraph says that three days before the fall of Baghdad on April 9, Uday told the director of Iraqi television, "I think the end is near" because "this time I think the Americans are serious, Bush is not like Clinton."

Even the terrorists understood........
"Makes a person wonder what we're overlooking today."
That's a good point, and we should be thinking outside the box as to future threats. What we will probably never find out is what tragedies were avoided by decisive action in Afghanisthan and Iraq . . .
bttt!
Well, it's ABOUT DAMN TIME!
Just heard it on Rush. Fox will probably pick it up from there.
