Originally posted by Swazo:1.Bosnia wasn't a unilateral movement that we went at alone. NATO with the US military in a main role went in and took care of business with a good plan. Case closed.
1. Are you implying that Iraq is unilateral? To claim such is to ignore the facts.
Originally posted by Swazo:2. The factory getting blown up that had been out of the hands of actual terrorist is a reflection of the very poor intel, which is likely related to the budget cuts Clinton made. Also, it was in Afghanistan where the failed missile attacks on OBL took place which is another example of the very poor intel. Now do you see why it IS important to have a good grasp on who is attacking you and why?
Originally posted by Swazo:President Bush Sr. is to blame for terrorist actions against Americans. 1. Bush Sr. placed our military in Saudi Arabia, which is what directly led to the 9/11 attacks.
2. That's a laugh. At least you're not listing talking points like some people. Even the Democrats aren't stupid enough to make those claims. I've never seen Bush Sr. as an attack target for the left.
Originally posted by Swazo:IMO, Clinton and Dubbya are dealing with what was left for them for them from Bush Sr not getting re-elected to clean up after himself.
3. So it is Clinton's fault. Had he not run for president, and if the Democrats hadn't opposed him, Bush 41 would have been re-elected and terrorism would have been wiped out.
This brings a tear to my eye, admission that Bill Clinton and the Democrats are to blame for terrorism.
1. Nope, just pointing out that WE didn't invade Bosnia like you implied.
2. Why did OBL issue a fatwa against the US and start attacking our embassies, the USS Cole and of course the 9/11 attacks? The primary reason is our military in Saudi Arabia. It's Bush Sr's relationship with the Saudi royal family that enabled him to place our military there. So, he's to blame for why we are openly attacked in the manor we are today, as it is directly from his actions. You keep assuming that I'm a Democrat or a liberal, which I am not.
3. No, Bush Sr. made a huge mess that he could not clean up before his first and only term. I'm sure he didn't expect not to be reelected, but that's his fault for being so arrogant. Clinton made the mistake of cutting the military's budget while having to clean up Bush Sr's mess. After the BJ BS, he couldn't make any move with our military without being accused of trying to take the attention away from that crap, like that movie Wag the dog or whatever. With action in Somalia and Bosnia, the US was getting tired of being the "world's police" so missile attacks was as much as they could muster at the time. The world was a different place for Americans before the 9/11 attacks, so getting support for another military venture would've been impossible at the time. You fail to see any wrong doing by people of your political party, and you act like the Democrats are soley to blame for everything.
