It really ticks me off that they get to ignore that there was a plan in place to deal with terrorists. The first element was people like Richard Clarke who were fanatics on the subject and pushing as hard they could to keep it on the front burner.

Condi Rice and her National Security team ignored Clarke. Ashcroft eliminated funding for counter-terrorism on 9/10/01.

The Democratic plan was to catch the people behind 9/11, not use it as an excuse to invade another country.

The people who were just picked up by the British had ties to Pakistan, where al Qaeda is hiding. If we had finished Osama when we had the chance at Tora Bora people wouldn’t be dumping water bottles to get on a plane today.

Bin Laden goes free, and the U.S. invaded a nation that did not attack us and was not associated with those people who did. Could we possibly look like bigger fools in the eyes of the world?

Last night I criticized a local blogger called Rightwingsparkle who immediately, in under 9 hours after the foiled plot was announced, said that the Democrats have no plan to deal with such things. Damned if we don’t: we want to replace the incompetents running the show right now with someone who cares about something besides power and money, someone who knows all parts of their anatomy from any holes in the ground. That’s my plan. For all my reservations about Al Gore, if he had been president when the 9/11/2001 attacks happened, we wouldn’t be in nearly as big a mess. But the Bushies are all politics and no policy, and here we are, going down fast. Which party really has no plan? I believe the psych term for what Rightwingsparkle was doing (along with 99 percent of the right blogosphere) is “projection.”

Amazing to me is the energy these lying between their teeth GOPhuckers folks put into defending a self-described Liberal/moderate Democrat! (Except – once ya realize He’s NOT what he claims to be — Kinda like Shrubs is some self-described “Compassionate Conservative”. Yeah Righti-O. Hahahhaha!)

I HOPE he gets his ~~ass~~ head handed to him on a platter in NOV.
