One thing Conservatives need to remember is it was Bush I who started the Somalia

fiasco in place...

Well after he was defeated for Re-Election, Bush I sent troops into Somalia on December 4, 1992...

He stuck Clinton with the commitment...

Fast forward to the USS Cole...

That attack was planed and executed on October 12, 2000....

Right smack in the middle of the US presidential campaign...

Clinton, not wanting to start something he couldn't finish, unlike the prissy Bush I, he decided it would be best if the incoming administration dealt with the problem...

And we all know how effectively Bush II was at dealing with that particular situation...

Bottom line, daddy played politics with the Somalian relief mission and Jr. played politics by not doing anything and letting Clinton bear the brunt of responsibility for the US Cole situation...

And as far as the first attack on the World Trade Center, didn't we catch those guys through police work and aren't they in jail as we speak...

Where in the world is Osama...

I'm just pissed because I keep hearing, even now, that the GOP is better at foreign policy than the democrats...

And these are the reasons most cited...

Fuck that shit...
