Reply #29: On the other hand, I only like Clinton 65% and I still see how he [View All]

did a better job with the resources he had at hand. There's no contradiction. If you think we're going to be 100% safe in our world, when we have been pissing off other countries for at least a century, then you must be one of those who felt that invading Iraq was a good idea, based on a rumor.

The 93 WTC was a warning that we had to step up our vigilance, which we did. We went as far as our Constitution allowed us to. The 95 attack, involving a white man, was a warning that we have domestic terrorist among us. Yet, our intelligence agencies tip toe around what they're doing to protect us against the next McVeigh. Can you imagine what the Republicans would have done to Clinton if ex-military men suddenly became part of their racial profiles back then? We had to wait until, today, for Homeland security to take the incredible step of going as far as looking into motorcycle Clubs to keep an eye on the development of the next McVeigh. That's just one example.

Yes, we were unprepared in the nineties, which is why I'll never forgive the Republicans for mounting a political attack on Clinton, distracting us by digging into his private life--something which had never been done before. They were a huge reason why we pissed away the peace dividend. Because, when you put a microscope to it, Republicans only get high and moral when it suits them, which is to say, all of their talk of fine ideals is just window dressing. How we have allowed them to come this far with their reputations intact is beyond me. They are destroying this country brick by brick.
