Bush's *War on Terror* targets Castro more than Bin Laden

who was president for most of the '90's?

 

When was 9-11 planned? Oh yeah, on Clinton's 8 year watch in which he didn't lift a finger to combat terror, despite attacks at home and abroad against America.

 

Suppose it's possible there are more people trying to circumvent the ill advised embargo on Cuba than there are sending money to Osma?

How many traffic enforcement officers are there, and what was the total fines from traffic violations? Perhaps Bush puts a bigger priority on speeding than on terrorism??

Calling you out on this one Woof.

 

Who was on vacation for the entire month of August during a summer when terrorist alerts were blaring red?

Who was chopping wood in Crawford Texas when the memo titled BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO STRIKE AGAINST U.S. came out? (OK, I might be a word off on the title, but I'm close.)

Who didn't put down the chainsaw and jet straight back to Washington to do something about it?

Never mind 9/11 has been the greatest pretext to keep our economy militarized for another 50 years and more.

 

there is not a single post in the D&D where you don't lie

you have good points on some issues man, but your constant lying blinds everyone to any point you might try to make

I have been reading some very interesting accounts of Western's trips to North Korea, they recount the crazy lies North Korean tour guides tell, you seem like you would be a perfect tour guide to North Korea since you can lie with such ease

 

Four staff assigned to Osma and Saddam vs 'nearly' two dozen for Cuba?

You'd have to know the number of violations you're dealing with to assess if its overkill.

Sorry...i've been agreeing with a lot of the Bush criticism these last few days.. but this one is a non-issue.

Unless you want to argue the whole embargo is misguided -- but that's a different issue and quite unrelated the 'terror fight.'

 

Of course, perhaps i misjudged.

I thought this thread was about the article Woof posted. I failed to recognize it's just the openning volley for the usual discourse.

Bush's fault
Oh, yeah -- well Clinton was worse
was not
was too
you're blind
you're stupid
na-na-na-na-na

I'll step aside.

Carry on.

 

Not proportional, but somehow related.

I'm just not surprised that there'd be a need for nearly twenty additional agents to monitor economic ties with Cuba -- given its proximity to the US.

Also -- 24 agents equaling $8m revenue, vs. 4 agents generating $9K revenue. Seems the 24 are doing their job.

I'm not suggesting enough has been done to combat terrorism -- especially in hitting them financially. Remember the allegations of Airline stock trading before Sept 11th???

Just saying i find this particular example a bit of a stretch.

 

It appears that we have had another I-D-10-T error.

Clinton did more to combat terrorism than any other president up to that time. He was so focused on terrorism that the GOP controlled congress called him "obsessed" with OBL and terrorism.

Try again, moron.

That being said, I agree that this is a non-issue. It is absolutely silly that we continue to embargo Cuba when it has been proven that we can affect more change through open markets and free exchange of ideas, but this is a policy that every president since JFK has inherited and done nothing to change.
