RE: More on madrassas.
Who carried off 911 doghouse?Who financed 911?Much of the money came from the Bin Laudin fortune,that is a fact.You mey recall that Osama was our big buddy during the Afghanistan Soviet Union conflict.He was seen by this government as an ally,freedom fighter whose family were and continue to be close personal friends of the Bush family.
911 was the result of really crappy intel that went on for years,along with a flawed policy by the Bush 1 to make goddy goody with anyone who we thought could provide OIL,like Saddam.We looked like stooges for so long to the middle eastern world,we became sitting ducks for the 911 bunch."Osama would never think of doing this to us" was the general concensus.We were asleep.
Clinton had his number and tried to take him out one cold night in December of 99.Too bad he misssed.The Clintons were not making goody goody with the Bin Laudin family,sharing beer and hamburgers with them,it was the Bush's.Still with me Doggie?Let me know if I'm rambling,OK?
There was evidence on many fronts that 911 was going to happen,its all avalible if you like to read.It's called the 911 Report.I suggest you look it over,may learn something.
Since I will never be President,it's pretty hard to say what I would have done.But in the "lets pretend"world that you have poised to me,I would be happy to answer,just for you.
First,I think Bush did a very admirable job after the he answered the childrens questions as the planes were falling out of the sky.For the first 2 hours he did not know whether to s**t of go blind.But thats to be expected from a non leader type of cheerleader.
Once he relaized it was real,he did a pretty good job of name calling,making threats(we never did find the right cave however)and being patriotic.It's interesting the same fireman who rallied behind him hate Gulliani,with a passion.But thats yet another story.
So,I would have said the same things and rallied the country.
Unfortunatly for W,he did not listen to the experts on how to fight the "war on terrorism"It sounded good,but he over estimated the threat,and went looking for the enemy in all the wrong place's.He started off pretty well,and had the worlds support in Afghanistan,but we all know what happened after that.I don't need to go into it.He refused to listen to the experts,and relied on both trumpted up intel(trumpted by his boys)and flawed CIA info.
He really screwed up by not giving the inspectors 6 more months,as there were no WMD's there,and we know that for a fact now.He took his eye off the ball,and let Osama get away.He lied when he told us he would look in every cave until we found him.I would not have made promise's I could not keep to the American people.He is so insistant on victory,he has lost site of the war ,the real war on terror,which relates back to 911.
But,I'm not the President,and really can only give you my opinion on went wrong.I can speculate on where we should go from here,which I have done in another post.I supported W,and so did 90% of the country when he said he was going to get the guys who did this.But then he went to Iraq,and it's been down hill since then.The sad thing is,he lost the support of the country,and the world.It's easy to loose,much harder to get it back,as he has learned the hard way.
I would have made sure that we got the guys who were reponsible for 911,as that is what the American people wanted.And we were told no stone would be unturned until we found them.So what do we have?A tortured fat pig who may or may not have cut of Dan Pearls head and is getting lots of attention because Bush needs the press right now.I,for one,think he is too fat and stupid to have been anything more then a mouthpiece.But I'm not the prez,so what do I know.
You got 20 minute of my valuable time for this,and it may or may or may not meet with your satisfaction,but maybe you will now tell us what you would have done?And you can't mention Clinton,OK?
