It boils down to this: Terrorists win if they shake up Washington so much that the administration diverts money needed for critical domestic programs to the war.

And guess what? Clinton said Bush was doing just that.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd just what "critical" domestic programs are these he's referring to?

One of the things Washington does well is create needs and crisis where none exist. They then convince people of their right to have these programs and how to get others to pay for them or they simply deficit finance them. We are now a country that is acquiring new credit cards to pay the old ones. The cupboard is bare. All the trust funds have been raided and the balance of payments imbalance is an indicator that what wealth is not stolen by the govt. is being transfered to foreign nations. All new generations of our kids are being born in crushing debt. We are truly a nation of slimeballs for letting this happen. Clinton is merely a reflection of ourselves.
