Counter-terrorism budget - Clinton's being cut by Ashcroft even as WTC burned.

Facts. Truth. Reality.

Uncomfortable for all of us, that's true. Clinton is NOT responsible for 9-11. REPEAT - Clinton's counter-terrorism budget was being cut by Ashcroft even as WTC burned. It wasn't Berger who said the warnings weren't worth investigating, it was Rice.

More reality.

Saddam had WMD for 14 years ago, minimum, since Reagan-Bush were telling them how to use them. Not once in that 14 years has he deployed them against the US.

Reality. Again - had 'em, never once used them against the US.

OBL - killed 3,100 Americans. Saddam - none.

And Bush is after a man who has killed none in the last 11 years.

Reality. Truth. Facts.

With all due respect, there's a great reality and there's George's rhetoric. When they don't match, one is wrong. A cold, harsh person would say "Deal with it", but that's not me, and you don't deserve it. (One out of two isn't bad, is it?)

No amount of conservative Carville, unthinking, knee-jerk spin can change that.

Arf (Clinton tried, as you pointed out - the political will wasn't behind him on this one)
