Going to war on radical islam. That is what Franks is saying needed to be done. All those groups are Radical Islam.
Yes Reagan did not do this. We were fighting a Cold War with the Soviets a the time, no small endeavour. Clinton did not have a cold war. He had the so-called "peace dividend". He did not go to war against radical islam. He shook the hive. He did not strike decisively will the full force of American might. He cut and ran out of Somalia. Black Hawk Down videos were distubuted as training videos to terrorists on that one. He fired missiles at Iraq yes, but at night to reduce casualties. He failed to stop Bin Laden when it was possible to do so. He was not aggressive enough. And speaking of history to this liberal friend of yours. We now know that Able Danger was ignored.........

They tried to tell the FBI. They were not allowed. The Gorelick wall prevented it. Clinton appointee Mary Jo Whites memo to Gorelick proves it........

August 17, 2005 -- PRESIDENT Bill Clinton's team ignored dire warnings that its approach to terrorism was "very dangerous" and could have "deadly results," according to a blistering memo just obtained by The Post. Then-Manhattan U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White wrote the memo as she pleaded in vain with Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick to tear down the wall between intelligence and prosecutors, a wall that went beyond legal requirements. Looking back after 9/11, the memo makes for eerie reading - because White's team foresaw, years in advance, that the Clinton-era wall would make it tougher to stop mass murder.
"This is not an area where it is safe or prudent to build unnecessary walls or to compartmentalize our knowledge of any possible players, plans or activities," wrote White, herself a Clinton appointee.
"The single biggest mistake we can make in attempting to combat terrorism is to insulate the criminal side of the house from the intelligence side of the house, unless such insulation is absolutely necessary. Excessive conservatism . . . can have deadly results." She added: "We must face the reality that the way we are proceeding now is inherently and in actuality very dangerous.

The mechanisms of 9-11 were cemented in place during the Clinton Administration. Radical islam was not engaged in full by Clinton. He was afraid to do so. He was afraid of casualties. But what do I know? Im not a General or anything. And neither is your liberal friend.
"Im not a General or anything. And neither is your liberal friend."
Whatever you do, PLEASE don't think this liberal idiot is any friend of mine...far from it...I wouldn't let him darken my doorstep. He's someone I've had heated debates with on another forum. He's an avid Clinton lover and one of those that love to use the 'Bush lies' quote no matter what proof you may produce that he's not.
I've quoted all the information you've posted here many times to him but so far the truth has been unable to penetrate.
I have a great deal of difficulty understanding individuals such as this. The most depressing thing to me is this type is allowed to vote and effect all of our lives....i.e.the 8 years of Clinton and Co.
