The fact that this author is forced to use a Robert Scheer article as a source tells you how weak it is.

George Bush gave millions to Afghanistan this year

No, we gave NO MONEY. The millions were in the form of grain shipments and other humanitarian aid.

Why does this person find it necessary to lie about something as easily verifiable as that?

Another Domestic Enemy Identified: Charles Utwater II

The description Tom Clancy gave of liberals last night on the O'Reilly show certainly applies here.

"The political left, they deal in symbols rather than reality. The general difference between conservatives and liberals is that liberals like pretty pictures and conservatives like to build bridges that people can drive across. And conservatives are indeed conservative because if the bridge falls down then people die, whereas the liberals figure, we can always build a nice memorial and make people forget it ever happened and was our fault. They're very good at making people forget it was their fault. Allright? "

Typical left wing extremist anti America BS compiled by left wing extremist media and anti American snakes!

The mass murder count is now over 6,000 innocent Americans and foreigners. Now the left wingers are trying to keep us from destroying their buddies, the terrorists!

These same tactics cost us a lot of lives during the Nam fiasco and the war! The same rhetoric is being polished up and used now after the mass murder/butchering of over 6,000 innocent Americans and foreigners!

But the problem is far broader than the right-wing of this country.

I love this. Spend an entire article laying the blame at the feet of anyone without a (D) after their name, but constantly cry "oh no, I'm just being fair". Yawn.

The Bush Administration has shown a remarkable restraint in NOT blaming Clinton for leaving Osmam bin Laden and his ilk loose and well-equipped. This article is merely rear-guard Bush-bashing on the part of a Clinton Kool-Aide drinker.
What you have here is the intellectual equivalent of the 15-year-old German schoolboys who were given uniforms, rifles, and a pat on the cheek and sent a few blocks to the "front" as the Russians entered Berlin from the East and the Americans from the West. This writer is not only wrong, he is puerile and irrelevant.

As the zebra guide says in the classic Larsen cartoon, "Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along."

Click here and go to "ALCU Watch" for a detailed legal discussion of how the US declares war, both historically and in this instance. This is a new article; should be posted by Monday, noon.

"There is a great push to have us surrender our freedoms as the price of stopping terrorism." Just imagine if clinton and reno were still there. Besides, since when are liberal/socialists against that?" We are told that we must become like the Taliban in order to defend ourselves from them." Who said that? I've been hearing the opposite from nearly everyone." Not only is this view laughably false, but until we know for certain that this terrible deed was not planned from within those who govern this country, we should not even consider it." Here we go - what is that? Is this an implication that the Bush administration was behind the attack? This guy is really reaching way out there in his attempt to defend the indefensible, bill clinton.

It may be true that there is plenty of blame to go around. clinton deserves plenty of it.

Well, it's certainly amusing.

Actually, Republicans have done extremely little to blame clinton for this fiasco. This is a sorry attempt at fending off the possibility that someone may do so in the future. Bush has refrained, from the very start of his campaign, from making any attacks at clinton's expense. I think he has been very smart to do so. Let people realize for themselves what kind of president clinton was. If anything, articles like this will be counterproductive--like Janet Reno's recent visit to Waco to give a campaign speech--because they will remind people of what kind of president clinton was. In the words of one general who was fired for speaking his mind, he was a "draft-dodging, womanizing liar." After the Trade Center catastrophe, that kind of reputation doesn't look any too good.

I scanned the article but believe I am correct in that the author never mentioned how we have lost control of our borders. How hard is it for a terrorist to get into this country from either Canada or Mexico. Both parties have partial blame on this point, but I think Teddy boy started the ball rolling when he led the way in changing our immigration laws in 1965.

Clinton apologists have the best PR firms in the world, putting on a full offense. The blame lies with the terrorists for the attack. We will be arguing the rest for generations, but one day's simple research into the State Dept. Report on Terrorism '99, and the UN and Clinton policies towards terrorists and Osama paints a clear picture of an administration that failed to do what it needed to do knowing the risks.

That Robert Scheer article is now on multiple liberal websites and their current deceptive talking point from the article "Bush gave $43 mill. to the Taliban" neglects to mention the UN repeated pleas for the starving millions in Afghanis., the Dem. Senators begging the Pres. for aid (especially Diane Feinstein) and Colin Powell's tours and extensive studies of the Afghani. plight. More links and info here:Clinton's final gift?
