Ok. I think my article about Bush wanting war with Iraq since before he was even elected and his handling of the pre-9/11 anti-terrorism actions seemed to have sparked some controversy. So I would like to clear up any confusion right here. So...here are some facts. Before I post these though, I would like to say that Clinton did drop the ball with regaurds to Osama bin Laden, but this is not about Clinton.
#1: Bush cut anti-terrorism from the F.B.I. by $65 million (on pages 9-10): http://www.americanprogress.org/kf/fy03ashcroft.pdf
#2: Bush never attended one meeting with the head of the CIA to discuss anti-terrorism (bottom of page 9): http://www.9-11commission.gov/staff_statements/staff_statement_8.pdf
#3: The Presidential Daily Breif informing Mr. Bush of a potential attack on federal Buildings in NYC using commercial airlines. Name of PDB "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.": http://www.cnn.com/2004/images/04/10/whitehouse.pdf
I am want to make it clear that this isn't a left-wing/right-wing issue. All I get here on this site is accusatory remarks about all the falsehoods in my articles. Why can't we ignore the fact that everyone thinks these fcats are partisan. Clinton and Bush are in the same boat. They both are or have in Clintons case, getting the same money from the same people. Time now we don't let these kind of people run the show. I'm not saying Obama is any better either. Time for a new canidate that truly represents America. Not the corporations, or the very small percentage of the Rich, or the Saudi Royal families. Just America and Americans.
I'm sick of the bickering on this site. I know that what I say is drasticly different than what the others here are saying but thats ok. I just think that it's time to embrace everyone no matter their views. However we should acknowledge that it is important to question what others say at first but in the end we all share one thing in common on this site here (at least I hope so) and that is we all love America. We all want to see it safe. Safe from the terrorists in the Middle East and the Terrorists in the White House and even on Capitol Hill.
Thank you.
