Immediate Media Release May 20, 2002
AARLC Headquarters Ronald Reagan Building 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 700 Washington, District of Columbia 20005 Contact Person: Kevin L. Martin Govt.& Political Affairs Director 202-675-8338
African American Republican Leadership Council demands that Congressional Democrats release their voting records on intelligence funding for the last decade.
The African American Republican Leadership Council demands that Congressional Democrats release their voting records on intelligence funding for the last decade to see if a lack of proper funding contributed in not averting the 9-11 attacks on the United States. Further, that a congressional hearing be convened to determine what President Clinton knew about potential threats against the United States from UBL and his murderers and why he refused to apprehend UBL when Sudan and others begged him to take UBL him off their hands.
Congressional Democrats have sought to play election year party politics after CBS News released a leaked classified intelligence report on which President Bush was allegedly briefed on a plot by Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda Network to hijack civilian airlines. Congressional Democrats like Senator Hillary Clinton are now demanding that President Bush answer their purely political questions and want to hold congressional investigations.
The media has reported that the classified intelligence report in question was received from an overseas intelligence agency in the summer of 2001. AARLC believes the American Public has a right to know if a lack of funding over the last decade led to various U.S. Intelligence Agencies being ill prepared to adequately handle homeland security in averting 9-11.
AARLC would like to remind the American Public that these ranting Democrats today, who are now demanding answers, were some of the same leftist liberals that voted against funding for these intelligence agencies in the early 1990’s with baseless stories such as the CIA supposedly dumping illegal drugs from Central America in the City of Los Angeles.
Congressional Democrats seem to only want to limit their purely partisan investigations to the events surrounding 9-11. AARLC believes that any true investigation must include former President Clinton as well as Sandy Burger, Louie Freeh, Janet Reno, and Al Gore, since al-Qaeda did carry out attacks on The World Trade Center, Embassies in Africa, a military barrack in Saudi Arabia and The U.S.S. Cole during the tenure of President Clinton.
AARLC wants to know did a lack of funding in the 1990s to these intelligence agencies make it impossible to obtain first hand knowledge of the inner workings of terrorist groups like al-Qaeda since their previous attacks seem to catch President Clinton and Democrat operatives off guard each time. The real warning that intelligence agencies where lacking proper funding was all too clear when American Officials where caught off guard once again when both India and Pakistan conducted tit for tat underground nuclear testing in 1999.
AARLC believes that any congressional investigation must be bi-partisan and that Senator Hillary Clinton has a constitutional duty to remove herself from any such investigation to which her husband is a part, as such would be in conflict with her oath of office and her allegiance to Former President Clinton.
Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle has a leadership responsibility to see that any investigation into these terrorist attacks remains bi-partisan and free of influence from those who would seek to protect former President Clinton’s Failed Legacy of protecting the American People from such attack as 9-11 when he refused to apprehend UBL.
AARLC also demands that Congressional Democrat Leaders release all Democrat Votes on intelligence funding over the last decade to answer any key questions the public has about these matters.
AARLC stands firmly with President Bush in the American’s ongoing war against terrorism and calls on Democrats to stop using the blood of those who died in the terrorist attacks of 9-11 as an election year issue.
Only when it's dishonest. And there was no need for dishonesty in this case. The AARLC could have compiled the records of Democrats (and Republicans) on votes for intelligence funding and reported the scores, just like any number of other groups (conservatives, liberals, libertarians, environmentalists, unions, etc.) do all the time for their sets of issues. Then the AARLC could have sent out a press release blasting those legislators who had low scores, and/or the entire Democratic Party if its average score was low.
Instead the AARLC tried to pretend there was some sort of cover-up when there wasn't. What the AARLC did was no different in kind than if an environmental organization had sent out a press release demanding that Congressional Republicans release their voting records on how they failed to protect the environment. If the Sierra Club put out such a press release, in exactly the same format but with the key words substituted, would you be defending the them just as vigorously? Somehow I suspect not.
Thanks for the ping, MKM!
I think the Democrats have just written a check that their a$$ can't cash!
It will be sooooo pleasurable to watch the screws tighten on them.
In the meantime, watch for more backpedaling, sanctimonious speeches and outright lying by Dasshole & Co.

PS - enjoy your trip!
I do question those who question those attempting to put our enemies on the defensive. I will even ask them if they have stopped beating their wives.
I do question those who embrace the use of the same mud-slinging tactics that they themselves self-righteously complain about when the other side employs them. I will even ask them if they understand the long-standing meaning of the word hypocrisy.

God bless these honest folks.
Clinton had the CIA down to a few pencil pushers sitting at a desk, and the FBI out hunting down bookleg Hollywood videos for his "tinsle friends" in Ca.
All the while America was being attacked.
These folks are doing the right thing. Pray for their success.
"What did Clinton and the Democrats know, and what was done about it?"
They also said they didn't know about the "underground government" - that's been around for 40 years and they voted to fund it ( as well as them being there immediatly after the attack on the U.S.)
They lie. They get caught. It sure helps our side when they do that.
The Dems are backing off on the 9/11 Bush attack. They know they blew it - again!
The voters eyes are looking at Democrats as the hate-filled people they are. The truth is setting them fee.
