The L.A. Slimes conveniently forgets that it was during the Clinton Administration that our intelligence services were gutted. I recall a bill sponsored by one Charles Schumer (Socialist-NY) requiring that only "high quality" people could be recruited as spies. Since the number of PhD candidates, members of the Country Club Board, and former aides to Mother Theresa generally do not have the inclination to do that kind of work, we had, in the past, used drug dealers, arms dealers, rum runners and assorted (sordid) ne'er do wells who were suited to the task. Since this offended Chuckie's sensibilities, we were left basically clueless in the run-up to 9/11, and remain severely hampered to this day.
For the libs to blame intelligence failures on Bush is the height of chutzpah. It's akin to poking out the bus driver's eyes and then complaining that he isn't staying between the white lines.
"For the libs to blame intelligence failures on Bush is the height of chutzpah." I've noticed that the libs are getting bolder and bolder over the past couple years or so. They are saying some outrageous anti-American things they'd not have had the nerve to say before. Either they are losing their grip on America and are becoming desperate, or they feel the time is ripe to start a final, decisive battle against conservative America, (or both).
