The right-wing, dittoheads, etc, pushed Bush to do away .......
with every Clinton initiative, including using executive orders to do so. They wanted everything with Clinton's name on it to be erased, including his terrorist policy for Afghanistan and bin Laden. Bush appeased them by doing exactly that. Thenb when 9/11 happened, there was no policy in place, although they now say they were working on one.

But the right-wingers are quick to point the finger of blame. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and their "dittohead" followers need to take a serious look in the mirror. They got what they wanted and look what happened. But don't expect them to accept any responsibility.

Even while they were crucifying Bill Clinton and demanding that their Senators and Congressmen not support his terrorist plans because he was simply "wagging the dog", attempting to divert people's attention from more important matters, like Monica Lewinsky. They still want to blame Bill Clinton.

We are reaping what they have sown and 9/11 is only a small part of it. The Patriot Act and the War on Terrorism are other parts of the right-wing garden. There are other parts still be be reaped. They have sown a crop of destruction.

1. Amen
Although look for Hannity, et-al to say this is politically motivated by Kerry. B* has been using 9-11 as an excuse for everything from cutting taxes for his rich buddies, to peeping into peoples bedrooms, and now it just turned around and bit him in the rear.

2. Well said, kentuck, nice post. The Bushistas are using the 'wag the dog'
schtick on an almost daily basis, in a desperate attempt to deflect attention away from their disastrous failures and transparent lies.
Their knee-jerk anti-Clinton hatred has contributed hugely to the mess in which they now find themselves, and they have lied so consistently that it is clear they can no longer follow their own web of deception.
Just in the last few months we have had:
Laci/Scott; Kobe; Jacko; Dru Sjodin; Super Bowl Wardrobe Malfunction; DC Sniper trial; Rosie; Martha... to name but a few...
They simply cannot afford to have scrutiny placed on their actions, so bait and switch, distract and deceive...

3. Bush gave 43 million to the Taliban in May of 2001
I wonder if any of that money went to fund
the 9/11/01 hyjackers .

4. That's what Madeline Albright said yesterday in the 9/11 hearings
She was disgusted at how they quit working on thing like eliminating nuclear fissile material and multi party discussions with other countries.

This should be on the front page of the newspaper. Instead, what do we get? "Bush and Clinton both screwed up"

5. Think about it. Who is responsible for 9/11 and present threats...
to us all. Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Lucianne, and the right-wingers share a big part of the blame, in my opinion.
