Lest we forget. Well worth a look. When we forget history, we are doomed to repeat it.

About Me
- Webutante
- I am a conservative woman living in the Southeastern US and the Rockies, depending on the season. I am an erstwhile wife and current mother of grown children. My life, so far, has been one of non-sequiturs which have formed my current outlook on many subjects including: family, culture, politics, food, sexuality, health, and objective versus subjective reality. With a degree in civil/environmental engineering, I have worked as a journalist, fundraiser, and most recently a professional fly fishing guide. I have never met a hiking trail, small trout stream, a leafy green vegetable, an articulate, conservative humanoid or a string of pearls I didn't like. After growing up in a conservative, Christian family, I was seduced by many the "isms" in the 60s, and took some sharp left turns. Then one day I began to realize I was on a dead-end street. By the Grace of God and through the mercy of His Son, I made a U-turn and then some better right turns. Surrounded by libs on all sides, I am thankful that I am alive to share some stories/opinions from my journey, to have a few laughs at myself, and to give Him Glory in the process.

This is excellent.
Yes, Lest we forget
Yes, Jen, all that's fine and good information, but it begs the question....so what? I mean, is there any good application for us today, or do you just want to wallow in the past and hate for Bush.....I call it "masturhation."
Let's not forget, since you brought it up, that Clinton, as in President Bill Clinton, after two embassy attacks and the bombing of the USS Cole had a chance to take bin Laden out. He was actually on the gold course when the call came in the little black box with the telephone in it from the Navy. They had Osama (not to be confused with Obama) in their cross-hairs and were waiting for Clinton to give the order for them to pull the trigger.
But Bill just couldn't, wouldn't, shouldn't do it. It might have ruined his golf score that day.
And so the rest is history.
Today, Bush, Cheney et al do indeed take the threats seriously. Do you? Or would you rather create straw men to masturhate on?
I am most amused when BDS puveyors smugly state that President Bush was on vacation. When this President goes on vacation it generally means his work day is cut done to 10 - 11 hours. That combined with the complete communication center and staff still on the job, the President knew we had numerous threats, but because of depleted intelligence assets here and abroad (WJC) there was no way to ascertain which ones to pursue.
Of course when his critics go on vacation...
Rebels without a pause.
Sounds like a scene in a movie.
