Ex-Bush VP: Clinton 'Policy Breach' Left U.S. Vulnerable to 9-11 Attacks

Perhaps then you will feel better is you know that Dan Quayle defended President Bush as a conservative last night, and said that the things that people were griping about were overblown and symptomatic of not understanding how government works. "Every President signs a farm bill," said former Vice President Quayle.

Or, I guess you can call him a Bushbot.

Quayle was my first choice to run in 2000, but he dropped out early.

Quayle talking.......

Coulson said the Clinton executive order, "defies reason, it defies logic, and it's not consistent with the law."

It doesn't defy reason, if Clinton's purpose was to protect the terrorists.

And the Sudanese offered to turn over two bin Laden lieutenants after the embassy bombings in '98, and Clinton's response was to bomb the aspirin factory.

said that the things that people were griping about were overblown and symptomatic of not understanding how government works.

There's alot of truth to that. Too many complainers never get involved and have no idea how things work and how to change things from the "inside".

I like Dan Quayle a lot and supported his Presidential aspirations. Deep down I knew he didn't have a chance thanks to the media but my support of him has never left.

Former Vice President Dan Quayle said Monday night that the lack of a firm policy to deal with terrorism during the Clinton administration was more responsible for leaving America vulnerable to the 9-11 attacks than any FBI or CIA intelligence failures.

I've always liked Dan Quayle! He speaks so clearly and without the BS spin.

We little people can think and say the same thing ( see forum topic GUILTY CLINTON: 9-11 It Ain't My Fault http://www.newsmax.com/ubb/Forum13/HTML/000213-17.html ! ) but no one listens. I hope and pray that the American Public will listen to Dan Quayle!

I am reading Howard Kurtz's SPIN CYCLE, and one of Clinton's protective devises was to avoid having stories on the Evening News...if a scandal had to get out, they preferred print media, because millions would see the report if it hit TV!

With Quayle's past problems with the Media, maybe, just maybe..they'll put Quayle's comments on the News to make fun of him and the TRUTH will get out!

TRUTH: Clinton left America VULNERABLE to attacks!

Well said Sir, thank you!

"I don't believe 9-11 happened because of an intelligence breach," Quayle told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."

"I think it was really a policy breach. It was the inaction of the previous administration, by and large, that al Qaeda -- and bin Laden in particular -- thought that they could hit the United States, and there would be a retaliation maybe of a cruise missile but nothing more than that," he explained.

The comments make the former vice president, who served under President Bush's father from 1989 to 1993, the highest ranking former U.S. official to suggest that the Clinton administration should get the lion's share of the blame for not preventing the 9-11 attacks.

Quayle also insisted that President Bush would have struck back more forcefully against al Osama bin Laden after earlier terrorist attacks on U.S. interests, taking action that could have averted 9-11.

"I can assure you if a USS Cole or an American embassy that had been hit under President Bush's watch, there would have been a different response," he said. "And I really think that bin Laden.... thought that he could hit us (on 9-11) and that the response would not be that much."

He speaks the truth, imho.............

The Legacy..........

"A presidential executive order issued during the Clinton
administration hamstrung the FBI so badly that bureau
lawyers decided it would be illegal to infiltrate Osama bin
Laden's terrorist training camps in Afghanistan, a senior
FBI official during the Clinton administration said Saturday."

>>Clinton is the Culpable Culprit and deserves charges of treason, arrest, and imprisonment or worse.<<

My vote is for worse. Much worse. In fact, the worst that can be inflicted on a human.

Conservative Dreams For Bill Clinton - Kansas ?

[Bigg Red]

You are so right about the coverage by the presstitutes.

[Eva]

I like Quayle too, but I am afraid that it is Quayle's meek manner that allowed the Democrats to pillory him. He doesn't have enough aggression, no fight back. I don't think that he got enough support from Bush Sr., either. Quayle is too much of a nice guy.

[Joy Angela]

I really, really didn't need to see Clinton's backside or Hillary in her undies...

Don't you know that if the Conspiring Clintons could get away with it, that is exactly how they'd market themselves!

Sex Sells! That's why there's a Bill Clinton in the first place!

[Phantom Lord]

What the hell kind of headline is that? Ex-Bush VP

Why couldnt the headline read Dan Quayle?

[MickMan51]

"The first thing you have to remember is that (Clinton) issued an executive order that said.... you can't use an individual who has terrorist connections in order to develop information about terrorist organizations, which is a huge bungle."

Well, maybe I'm missing something, but I'd really like to see this one but can't seem to finger it on the list. Any Freepers know which Exec Order this is ??

THIS LIST is all of Clintbilly's EO's. Can any pick out the one referenced ??

[TC Rider]

Rush Limbaugh mentioned yesterday that the Saudi's offered to turn Osama bin Laden over to the United States twice during the Clinton administration -- and the offer was rejected both times.

I think you mean the Sudanese. The Saudis are involved in this up to their beards.

God bless Dan Quayle. I'll be waiting for the NY Times headline on this one.

Yeah, it'll be on page 23 - one paragraph near the bottom. Headline will be something like: Quayle Plays Politics with 9/11

I doubt it will be in the NYT at all, unless it's mentioned on the Op-Ed page, where they'll rake Quayle over the coals. They'll say something about his Murphy Brown speech, which is still considered thoughtless by liberals, as a way of warning their readers not to take it seriously.
