BILL CLINTON (THE LAST LEGALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMIERICA) told shrub that bin laden was a REAL THREAT.  He was POO POOED!

Given the finger (as shrubya does when backed into a corner).


AND FURTHER, BIN LADEN WAS RECRUITED BY AND PAID FOR BY CIA BY SHRUBYA&#039;S DADDY.  ONCE A COMPANY MAN, ALWAYS A COMPANY MAN...... LIKE THE MAFIA... YOU CAN&#039;T JUST QUIT.

That is why the dumb little shrub read &quot;my pet goat&quot; (upside down by the way) while the twin towers fell.

HE KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN, HE PROBABLY KNEW HOW IT WAS PLANNED, AND HE KNEW...

THAT HIS DADDY&#039;S COMPANY (AND BIN LADEN FAMILY&#039;S COMPANY) THE CARLYLE GROUP WOULD PROFIT!!!!!

Not to mention (the man behind the curtian) cheeney&#039;s former company KBR-Helliburton would profit from NO CONTRACT BIDS!!!!!!!!~!!!!!

		<description>#49, YOU POOR FOOL

Didn&#039;t you pay ATTENTION WHEN FAUX NEWS SAID THAT THE PRESIDENT (HA HA) said they suffered from 


.... what was it now....

Oh yes, .... FAULTY INTELLIGENCE


Were they talking about info gathered by the FBI and CIA or 

SHRUB - YA-?

Go figure.

IF YOU TELL A BIG OLE&#039; LIE, THE PEOPLE MIGHT REPEAT IT.


IF THEY REPEAT IT, THE PEOPLE (SHEEPLE) may take it as fact.

Most of the ill-informed persons in this country (faux news viewers) STILL believe 9/11 and Sadam were related.

THAT IS THE WAY THE nazi party WANTS IT.</description>

		<description>-&quot;[Saddam Hussein] will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has 10 times since 1983.&quot; - National Security Adviser Sandy Berger to President Clinton, 1998

 
-&quot;If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq&#039;s weapons of mass destruction program.&quot; - President Bill Clinton, 1998

-&quot;[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq&#039;s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.&quot; - Sens. Carl Levin, D-Mich., Tom Daschle, D-S.D., John Kerry, D-Mass., and others in a letter to President Bill Clinton, 1998

 
 
-&quot;Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology ... &quot; - Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., (now House minority leader), 1998

-&quot;Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies.&quot; - Secretary of State Madeline Albright to President Clinton, 1999

-&quot;Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He ... is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them.&quot; - Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., 2002

 
 
-&quot;We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.&quot; - Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., 2002</description>

		<description>Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them.  Seems like the Pentagon learned from the 1948 Chicago Trib poll declaring that Dewey would beat Truman by a landslide.  Trouble is they only contacted folks with a telephone at a time when having a phone was mostly restricted to the wealthy.  The big difference is that the newpaper at the time was really interested in the truth but inadvertently used a method to subvert it.  No such desire to determine or broadcast the truth is found among the warmongers....</description>

		<description>The Pentagon is doing this because the 9-11 Commission has evidence that the Pentagon knew the 9-11 planner was living in the U.S. one year prior to the 9-11 attack.


The 9-11 Commission is investigating why the Pentagon chose NOT to share their facts with other intelligence agencies.

This is another nail in the coffin and the Pentagon knows it.  This is the evidence that proves that Bushie and Rummy knew about the 9-11 plot and did nothing about it. 

This report came from CBS News,  google and you should find it.

		<description>What on earth did they expect? When your country is occupied, the first thing you do is kill all the collaborators.

I looked at the 2004 Coalition Provisional Authority stats and it was clear that as unpopular as the US may have been in Iraq, we actually had half a chance of pulling the coals out of the Iraq fires until Nov. 2003.  After the Abu Gahraib scandal surfaced it was over, Baby.  Nothing we do will unring that bell.</description>

		<description>I dunno, Liberal Progressive and Proud, that seems to me like a lot of pre 9/11 thinking, and this is a post 9/11 world. Now that we 9/11 in a post 9/11 world, we can 9/11 Iraq as much as we 9/11 want, because 9/11... and may I just further add 9/11.

But seriously, post those quotations everywhere. I would suggest that you leave off the preface that those illustrious politicians were speaking of Clinton&#039;s intervention in the former Yugoslavia (which I did not support either. The Air Campaign killed more civillians than anything else). Just post one of those gems in Freeper land (if you&#039;re not already banned). Something to the effect of, &quot;Did you hear what Tom Delay said?&quot; Then post the quote, and ask what they think. And then reveal he was talking about Clinton. 

Eh, who am I kidding, as it stands Bush could stand on the White House steps while being fellated by Jeff Gannon, bragging that he lied and simply wanted to bomb Iraq for the oil, and half his supporters whould cheer, and the other half would deny it even happened.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;VERBATIM QUOTES FROM WHEN CLINTON WAS COMMITTING TROOPS TO BOSNIA:

&quot;You can support the troops but not the president.&quot;
---Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

&quot;Well, I just think it&#039;s a bad idea. What&#039;s going to happen is they&#039;re going to be over there for 10, 15, maybe 20 years.&quot;
---Joe Scarborough (R-FL)

&quot;Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?&quot;
---Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/6/99

&quot;[The] President . . . is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill-defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation&#039;s armed forces about how long they will be away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy.&quot; 
---Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA)

&quot;American foreign policy is now one huge big mystery. Simply put, the administration is trying to lead the world with a feel-good foreign policy.&quot; 
---Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

&quot;If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy.&quot; 
---Karen Hughes, speaking on behalf of George W Bush

&quot;I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning . . I didn&#039;t think we had done enough in the diplomatic area.&quot;
---Senator Trent Lott (R-MS)

&quot;I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it is often easier to make war than peace. This administration is just learning that lesson right now. The President began this mission with very vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions. A month later, these questions are still unanswered. There are no clarified rules of engagement. There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program. There is no agenda to bolster our over-extended military. There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today&quot;
---Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

&quot;Victory means exit strategy, and it&#039;s important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is.&quot;
---Governor George W. Bush (R-TX) &lt;/em&gt;</description>
