President Bill  Clinton and the Democrat controlled Congress understated the intelligence ....
 

 ....urgent threats to America after the first bombing of the World Trade Center on Feb. 26, 1993 . That is where today's election clamor and investigation should be focused.

Clinton's understating of the actual threats posed by terrorism continued even after the Khobar Towers attack on June 25, 1996, the bombing of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania on Aug. 7, 1998, and the Oct. 12, 2000, attack on the USS Cole. The former Democratic President continued to understate the intelligence threats to Americans even after Osama bin Laden openly declared war on the United States .

The Clinton Administration then, and now the rest of the current democrats and their Presidential Candidate Barrack Hussein Obama as well, took on and now take on a "look or sound tough" approach, but in reality a profoundly weak, almost, do-nothing attitude. To that end, it seems the Clinton Administration prosecuted a blind man for driving a truck into that WTC building in '93 and then bombed a deserted desert training camp--emulating the French method of placate, supplicate and surrender and be occupied. Obama, just wants to talk to the avowed enemy of America. 

Where was the intelligence in 1993? Where were the badgering democratically controlled congressional intelligence oversight committee and media then? Wasn't the intelligence budget cut to the bone before President Bush took office? Yes! Of course, but today the war in Iraq is still Bush's fault entirely. That is today according to the 'progressive' ‘fools in sheep’s clothing’.

Collapsing before the very eyes of Americans on 9/11/01 was the same World Trade Center in New York that was attacked in 1993.

This Democratic failure to defend America is the predominant cause of the Iraq War.
Now Senator B. Hussein O. plans to invoke a similar contortion of logic and go and talk to the world’s dictators and particularly so with Iran ’s, screwball, leader Ahmidinijad who has often sworn to destroy America .

The entire Democratic attack on the Bush Administration is based on the erroneous accusation that pre-war intelligence was overstated by Bush, in order to go to war in Iraq for ulterior motives. So the current Democrats and their nominee B. Hussein O. swami, for President in ’08, are all committed, I predict, if they win the election to repeat the 9/11/01 history or worse.

Whatever else may be alleged by these shallow minded democrats, the United States itself has not been attacked since 9/11/01 , that is 7 years. Yes, other countries in Europe have been, but not America . The President undertook the necessary defense and clearly the proper offense. Therefore, it cannot be overstatement. Empirical evidence of weapons of mass destruction did exist--first in their use on natives in Iraq and residue on artillery shells thereafter. More recently the 550 metric tons of ‘yellow cake uranium’ was exported out of Iraq recently. Yellow cake is used as the base for making weapons grade plutonium. As to the rest, ask those nations bought off at the UN by Iraq at the time.

Democrats now demand withdrawal of the American troops from Iraq because they accuse Bush and his administration of overestimating the threat to America . Democrats evidently prefer to continue underestimating danger to the safety of overestimating danger.

The same thing took place in pre-war intelligence in the Pacific in 1941.

The Democratic Party motto should be: "If it works, try something else." Ipso facto.
