Hello John,

JH> >>SH>I heard John Effing Kerry today say that he would pray for Slick
JH> >>SH>Willy.  Pra
JH> >>SH>to WHO?

JH> >>VH>Stan, remember the liberals chortling over Reagan's Alzheimer's
JH> >>VH>disease. Let us not behave as they do.

JH> >>FS>Absolutely!  While Bill Clinton was obviously a lousy president,
JH> >>FS>he has the right to be in good health.  I wish him well with his
JH> >>FS>up-coming operation ...

JH> >>JH>Frank, in all honesty, I can't get real worked up over the
JH> >>JH>prospect of Slick Willy bitin' the big one.  After all, his
JH> >>JH>failures to stop bin Laden ultimat lead to the death of nearly
JH> >>JH>3,000 innocent civilians in 2001.

JH> >>LL>Yeah.  George W. Bush should have done something to bust Osama bin
JH> >>LL>Laden and his gang the day he took office on January 20, 2001 and
JH> >>LL>not let up until he got the job done, thus saving thousands of
JH> >>LL>American liv and the pain and suffering of thousands of others.
JH> >>LL>Not to mention the lives of other innocent civilians, from various
JH> >>LL>parts of the world.

JH> >>LL>BTW, where *is* Osama bin Laden?  I hear he is still a free man,
JH> >>LL>alive and well.  Of course, George W. Bush did say he wanted Osama
JH> >>LL>bin Laden dead or alive.  I guess George W. Bush preferred Osama
JH> >>LL>bin Laden alive - as well as free and at large.

JH> JH>>Don't be a jackass, Lee, and don't try to put off on Bush what
JH> JH>>Clinton had eight years to deal with.

JH> LL> Neither Clinton nor Bush did enough to stop Osama bin Laden from
JH> LL> carrying out his deadly plans.  As such, both Clinton and Bush
JH> LL> share
JH> LL> the blame.  Even moreso Bush, given the attacks occurred on his
JH> LL> watch.

JH> JH>>Bin Laden was offered up to us on a silver platter at least twice,
JH> JH>>and maybe as many as four times during Clinton's tenure, and did
JH> JH>>nothing about it - in fact, he turned them down because he didn't
JH> JH>>want to rock the boat during MonicaGate.

JH> LL> Nice fairy tale, but not true.  If Sudan had truly been holding
JH> LL> Osama
JH> LL> bin Laden, and if Sudan had truly been interested in turning that
JH> LL> bastard over to American authorities, Sudan could have and would
JH> LL> have
JH> LL> done so.

JH> JH>>In other words, he was more worried about covering his own ass than
JH> JH>>about national security.

JH> LL> Had that been the case, Clinton would have been arrested, put in
JH> LL> front
JH> LL> of a firing squad, and shot.

JH> JH>>Bush was only in office for a bit over 7 months and still dealing
JH> JH>>with the p of crap Clinton left behind undone when 9/11 happened.

>LL>Bush took office on January 20, 2001.  The terrorists attacked on
>LL>September 11, 2001.  That's almost 9 months after Bush took
>LL>office.  And it is very clear that Bush did not do enough to stop
>LL>the terrorists from carrying out their dastardly plans.  If he had,
>LL>there would have been no terrorist attacks on 9-11.

>JH>He isn't to blame for that in any way, shape, fashion, or form.

>LL>Bush shares the blame, as does Clinton.

JH>Just can't bear to not give the jerk a break, can you?

Are you calling President Bush a jerk?  Not that I disagree.  But in
any case, I refuse to give any president a break.  Even if the president
*is* a jerk.

JH>There are a couple of books currently on the best seller list that
JH>can detail Clinton's failure an culpability in far greater detail
JH>than I can.

Clinton left office at noon on January 20, 2001.  His responsibility
as president ended at that time.  Bush took office at noon on January
20, 2001.  His responsibility as president started at that time.

Neither president did enough to prevent the events of 9-11 from
happening.  As such, both share the blame.  Not just Clinton.  And
not just Bush.  In fact, it is more Bush to blame than Clinton since
the terrorist attacks occurred during Bush's watch.

Had Bush known about the terrorist plot to attack America and done
nothing to prevent it from happening, then Bush should be arrested, put
in front of a firing squad, and shot.  The same with Clinton.  But the
fact of the matter is that neither president was aware of the plot, and
as a result were unable to take steps to prevent the attacks from
happening.

In any event, ignorance is no excuse.
