Bringing up Bubba Clinton, as some on this board have, is a sure sign that one is bereft of a sound intellectual argument and is hardly germane to the topic at hand, and thus, is uncalled for. With regards to the current President, this was a horrible failure on many levels: not only did 9/11 happen on Dear Leader's watch, despite being warned about al Quaeda's intentions in a PDB August 6th 2001, but he actually managed to squander the international goodwill and political capital that manifested itself afterward. He took a national tragedy and the ensuing public hysteria and used the short-term political gain that was handed to him and gave those neocon swine and petro-pimps the holy/oil war they wanted. Let us also not forget the fact that Osama is still on the loose, al Quaeda recruitment is up, the Taliban are starting to wreak havoc over there in Afghanistan again and terrorist incidents have increased world-wide. Nice job, Great Crusader!!
