2. I know you're being ironic, but for the clueless...

...Clinton did *plenty* to fight terrorism!

Thirty-eight days after Clinton took office, the World Trade Center was bombed. The new president responded by capturing, trying, and convicting those responsible for the attack. Ramzi Yousef, Abdul Hakim Murad, and Wali Khan Amin Shah are all currently in prison.

Under Clinton's watch, terrorist plots were also thwarted, such as one to kill the Pope and to blow up 12 U.S. jetliners simultaneously. Also foiled were plots against the United Nations, the FBI building, the Israeli Embassy in Washington, the L.A. and Boston airports, and the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels and the George Washington Bridge in New York City.

So how did Clinton accomplish all that? Among other things, he tripled the FBI's counterterrorism budget and doubled counterterrorism funding overall, he rolled up Al Qaeda cells in more than 20 countries, and he created a top-level national security post to coordinate all federal counterterrorism activity.

Clinton's first and second crime bills both contained stringent anti-terrorism legislation. His administration sponsored a series of simulations to see how local, state, and federal officials should coordinate their responses to a terrorist strike. He created a national stockpile of drugs and vaccines, including 40 million doses of smallpox vaccine. And he coaxed, cajoled, and badgered foreign leaders to join the fight internationally or to do more within their own borders.

So please, Bush-lovers: tell us again how Bill Clinton did nothing to fight terrorism?

4. Thank you, NightTrain

Don't forget that he RESPONDED militarily, too, when he felt we had to.

3. Clinton did nothing?

He actually RETALIATED for the Embassy bombings and was promptly ASSAILED by Republicans for wagging the dog.

Why didn't the Bush Administration respond to the Cole?

Swatting at flies my ass.

5. Hold on, Hoss

If you click the links you will find out that good and great catwoman is makeing a point.
Most of us know that Clinton was obsessed with stopping american attacks on americans. Yet the republicans were obsessed with getting clinton anyway possible.
And there is growing proof that Clinton MAY have disarmed Suddam.
There seems to be alota GOP action to seal anything Clinton said or did about it..For a group that hates him so much i find that verrrry interesting
