Bill Clinton, through eight years of various actions and in-actions, set the stage for the unspeakable horror that visited this nation on September 11, 2001.
- The 1993 Somalia debacle, in which eighteen U.S. Soldiers lost their lives, can be directly attributed to Clintons lack of military understanding. Having never served in the military himself, in fact, having taken steps to avoid serving his country at all, he had no concept of what was needed for a successful military action. Immediately following the disaster in Somalia, Clinton simply pulled up steaks and got out. We ran. The father of one of the soldiers who had been killed, Herbert Shughart, refused to shake Bill Clinton's hand at a Congressional Medal of Honor awards ceremony, telling Clinton to his face that he was responsible for the death of his son and that he was not fit to be Commander in Chief.
- Concerning Iraq, Madeleine Albright, Clintons appointed apologist, recently stated that we should have taken out Saddam Hussein back in 1991. Well, hello? Where was little Miss Madame Secretary of State Albright and Feeling-our-Pain President Clinton between the years 1992 and 2000? After having been soundly defeated by Bush, Sr., Hussein was required to allow UN inspection teams into Iraq to ensure that Iraq would never be able to secretly produce chemical weapons nor any other weapons of mass destruction. Those were the terms. They were non-negotiable. Under the Clinton administration, the UN inspectors were booted out of Iraq, leaving Saddam to continue unimpeded with his programs of mass destruction. Bill Clinton, in effect, gave Saddam Hussein carte blanche to work towards the destruction of America and Israel.
- During Hillarys 2000 run for the Senate seat from New York, Bill Clinton granted pardons to sixteen Puerto Rican terrorists. It just so happened that Hillary (surprise, surprise) coincidentally needed the New York Hispanic vote. To believe that Clinton suddenly released an entire football team of terrorists for any reason other than to help get his wife elected, is to believe that a fairy floats into your bedroom at night and exchanges your recently departed tooth for cash.
- In 1993, our World Trade Center was bombed - an open declaration of war on the sovereign soil of the United States of America, and Bill Clinton did nothing. In 1996, The Khobar Towers in Somalia was bombed and Clinton did nothing. In 1998, our embassies in Africa were bombed and Clinton did nothing. In 2000, the U.S.S. Cole was bombed and Clinton did nothing. The only time Clinton ever did anything was when the media was poised and ready to report a major development in one of his personal scandals, and then it was only to lob a few ineffective, token missiles into some dessert tents. And let's not forget the infamous 1998 bombing of a Sudanese aspirin factory on the eve of the Monica Lewinsky trial. With no credible evidence to support the administration's claim that this factory was producing chemical weapons, innocent civilians were killed in what turned out to be an aspirin factory. If any one act inspired hatred for America, this was it! Thank you, Bill.
- The Clinton Administration declared that the CIA would no longer be able to utilize operatives who had a criminal past. This is insanity beyond belief! Did Clinton expect us to get our crucial information on terrorist activities from file clerks? From whom do you suppose the FBI gets its information to prosecute The Mob? Choir boys? As a result, our intelligence agencies were handcuffed and rendered ineffective. Information that could have saved the lives of over 3,000 Americans went undiscovered because it would have been "politically incorrect" to associate with unsavory people. Along the same vein, the Clinton Administration allowed U.S. Muslim "charity" organizations to raise money which the administration knew was funding terrorists. Putting a stop to these activities might have been construed as, gasp!, "racial profiling".
All of the above sent a message to Islamic Terrorists: America is weak. America is indecisive. America is corrupt. America is ripe for an attack and America doesnt have the moral fiber, nor the resources, nor the resolve to fight back. Madeline Albright, Clinton apologist extroidinare, who appears to be on a mission to save her own legacy as well as that of her former boss, has stated that the Clinton Administration would have never been able to gather enough public support for an all out war against terrorism. News flash, Madame Albright: A strong, moral leader recognizes priorities and sets those priorities above all else. The President of the United States can gather support for whatever he deems important! Unfortunately, what was important at the time was Bill Clintons quest to decipher the meaning of is. In the meantime, our enemies plotted against us.
Even President Putin of Russia expressed dismay at Clinton's lack of attention to the threat of terrorism.
Let there be no doubt William Jefferson Clinton, who leisurely strolled down the streets of New York in the aftermath of 911 wearing his ever-present, smug little half-smile, carries the blood of thousands of Americans on his hands.
The writer of this article left out the most important thing---clinton and Halfbright's support for islamic expansionism, espcially in the Balkans, and their trashing of the brave Serbs!!!!
That sent the message to the terrorists that America is pro-muslim expansionist!!!! (Yukk!!!!)
Even yesterday, clinton gave a speech saying that America showed its "devotion to the muslim world" by stopping the "two biggest killers of muslims"--Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic!!! He, as well as Halfbright and Hillary, never miss an opportunity to shill for the muslims, and to kiss their filthy backsides!!!!
And it is the muslims that clinton and company favored and funded--NOT "muslims racked by poverty"--who flew those ariplanes into the World Trade Center!!! Now clinton is saying that the US should give more aid to the islamic world--"to fight poverty that causes terrorism"!!! The clintonite BS just gets piled higher and higher al the time, even when he's out of office!!!!
On February 24, 1996, three light aircraft left Miami on a routine flight. Their missions, to search the waters off the Florida Coast for rafters trying to reach the US shores, and bring them help by guiding the US Coast Guard to their location. That day in February, only one plane would return to its home base in Miami.
Tune in to Radio FreeRepublic this Thursday, March 14, at 9 PM EST, and listen to the actual sounds of a terrorist in action, murdering unarmed American citizens.
Sr. José Basulto, founder of Brothers to the Rescue and pilot of the surviving Cessna, will shed light on the events of that day, and detail how the Clinton administration withheld advanced knowledge of the attack from the humanitarian volunteer group, helping seal the fate of these four courageous flyers.
Radio FreeRepublic, fearless talk radio.
