    Give us a break

    C'mon Carmina and all you other increasingly desperate right wingnuts. As has been accurately testified to, PresBush and his regime were so dismissive of everything "Clinton," everything "progressive," everything "Democratic," that they threw into the proverbial dumpster everything the Clinton administration had been trying to do to guard against Al-Qaida and ignored several months of CIA warnings about Al-Qaida. They seemed to have thought that Clinton had to worry about Al-Qaida because he was such a wimp, but no terrorist group would ever DARE attack the US now that the Bushies were in charge. Perhaps it's possible that Bushco could not have prevented the 09/11/01 attacks, but WE'LL NEVER KNOW, WILL WE? BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY SINCE THAT WOULD HAVE MEANT CONTINUING WHAT CLINTON HAD BEEN DOING!
