Oh BTW..........I didn't say that. You did. ;)


For the record........I don't think Bush is any "Great President." I do think he has done a decent job though considering the hand he was dealt. :S



Yes, the debt was falling, we were at peace...

We were at peace?


Yes........to Clinton I guess we were. These 19 servicemen's lives didn't mean much to him obviously. What does it take for the left to admit we are at war? How long did they plan on living in a "State of Denial?"


"In another revelation, Freeh says the former president let down the American people and the families of victims of the Khobar Towers terror attack in Saudi Arabia. After promising to bring to justice those responsible for the bombing that killed 19 and injured hundreds, Freeh says Clinton refused to personally ask Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah to allow the FBI to question bombing suspects the kingdom had in custody – the only way the bureau could secure the interviews, according to Freeh. Freeh writes in the book, “Bill Clinton raised the subject only to tell the crown prince that he understood the Saudis’ reluctance to cooperate and then he hit Abdullah up for a contribution to the Clinton Presidential Library.” Says Freeh, “That’s a fact that I am reporting.”

A) The national debt grew by about 1.6 trillion dollars under Clinton.

B) We were involved in many military conflicts during Clinton's administration.

1. It was falling when Bush II took over. Reagan, Bush I and Bush II added more to the debt than ALL OTHER PRESIDENTS COMBINED. Clinton inherited a huge deficit from Reagan/Bush and reversed it.

2. We were not at war. We are now in a WOT declared by the Prez. Over 2700 American boys dead in Bush's misadventure in Iraq.

You keep saying that but the facts tell a differen't story. So if we just sit at home and ignore terrorist attacks we are not at war? Is that how it works Kallend? That's called denial where I come from.



If the attacks had been treated as the criminal acts they are, rather than as war, we'd be a damn sight better off.

Or the Cole investigation problems.


This article sums them all up.



Quote

At the time of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, his administration was just beginning, and he was embroiled in controversies over gays in the military, an economic stimulus plan, and the beginnings of Hillary Clinton's health-care task force. Khobar Towers happened not only in the midst of the president's re-election campaign but also at the end of a month in which there were new and damaging developments in the Whitewater and Filegate scandals. The African embassy attacks occurred as the Monica Lewinsky affair was at fever pitch, in the month that Clinton appeared before independent counsel Kenneth Starr's grand jury. And when the Cole was rammed, Clinton had little time left in office and was desperately hoping to build his legacy with a breakthrough in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Whenever a serious terrorist attack occurred, it seemed Bill Clinton was always busy with something else.






I've seen how Democrats handle our problems. Bush may not be perfect but at least he isn't too busy trying to polish his own image to take care of business. I'll stay with the Republicans thanks.

It's clear that you are proud of your support for a proven liar, whose lies led us into a war that's killed 2,700+ American troops, and who has made the USA the biggest debtor in the history of the world.

Cool.

Everybody cried about the money Reagan spent too. He defeated the Soviet Union. ;)

Earlier you claimed you had read the Sernate Intelligence Committee Report. Lots of details of the lies. How could you have missed it:D

And of course, there's "we will have a deficit that is small and short term".

A convenient myth.

I particularly like this quote from the book:

Quote

In March 2006, Rumsfeld invited six of the Pentagon’s regular outside advisers in to be briefed and ask questions. One was Ken Adelman, a longtime Rumsfeld friend and vehement early supporter of the war who had become entirely disillusioned over the administration’s handling of the postwar. His relationship with Rumsfeld was almost over.

“What metrics would you use for success in Iraq?” Adelman asked Rumsfeld. “You know, for winning the war?”

“Oh, there are hundreds,” Rumsfeld replied. “It’s just so complicated that there are hundreds.”

“Wait a minute,” Adelman insisted. “A former boss of mine always said identify three or four things, then always ask about, get measurements and you’ll get progress or else you’ll never get any progress.” The former boss was Rumsfeld himself, who had driven the point home to Adelman 35 years ago, when he worked for Rumsfeld at the Office of Economic Opportunity. What are they? Adelman insisted.

Rumsfeld said it was so complicated that he could not give a list. “Hundreds,” he insisted.

Adelman believed that meant there was a total lack of accountability. If Rumsfeld didn’t agree to any criteria, he couldn’t be said to have failed on any criteria.

“Then you don’t have anything,” Adelman said. He left as dis­turbed as ever. There was no accountability.




Rumsfelds reaction to the book:

Quote

“First of all, I haven’t read it,” Rumsfeld told reporters Friday when asked about the book during a NATO meeting in Slovenia. “Second, I don’t know what you’re referring to. And third, you can find someone in government to say almost anything you want.”




Does that mean you are admiting the White House lied about WMD and the 'reasons' for war?:P

It just baffles me why politicians still talk to Woodward. Everyone knows who he is and what he does, so how does he get them to keep talking to him?
