in Afganistan to fight the Russians, we supplied him with arms, training and money. So Al Quaeda wasn't even a factor then.

The 80's terrorists were Arafat and Col Muammar al-Qaddafi who had completely different agenda's than Al-Quaeda. Plus Arafat became a leader under pug administrations and Col Qaddafi was buying nuke material under this bush from our new found best ally Pakistan.

US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania was the first time that bin Laden admitted his role, before that, there is no connection.

The wirter of the piece says Clinton wants t treat them as crimials

As far as the bombings in Saudi Arabia, they have repeatedly said that they tried and killed those responsible.

So all the terrorism in the 80's and early 90's were under pug adminstrations.

As far as te CIA agents in January 1993 Clinton wasn't even sworn in yet and 93 WTC bombing took place less than a month after Clinton took office. Yet pugs give a pass to bush for 9/11 because he was only in office nine months and thats counting the month he was on vacation just before the attacks. bush had repeated warnings about about a possible attack and did nothing, Clinton got it all dumped in his lap by poppa bush.

" Clinton treated these terrorist acts as crimes; in fact we are still trying to bring these people to trial. These are acts of war."

Clinton wasn't President during the 80'andarly 90's, so the author statement makes no sense at all. But the WTC bombers of 93 are now jaiked for life and what country did they represent or should we have invaded a country that had nothing to do with it like bush does? Lockerbee, all those were tried in England, remember where it happened and now spending the rest of their lifes in prison.

The worse attack ever on American soil came under bush so he attacks Afganistan to hiding and refusing to turn over bin Laden, a decision that I completely agree with. Then we have bin Laden trapped, we allow untrained Afgan troops to go in and capture him, he gets away and now dances along the Afgan-Paki boarder. Afganistan is far from being the free contry we said it would be, the only area that is under any kind of control is directly around Kabulthe capital), the rest of the country is under the control of various warlords. Plus the single highest death toll of our troops came this year, four years after another "Mission Accomplished".

Next bush after failing to complete the mission in Afganistan attacks Iraq under false pretenses of mass amounts of WMD's and a active nuke program. bush has turned Iraq into the biggest terrorists training camp ever imagined. It is another Nam even the way it is fought, we have losted 38 troops in just the last ten days, most from reserves and National Guard. bush has no plan and this will be another Nam that will last for years and years. In Nam we killed millions of the enemy yet they kept coming in from all over Southeast Asia, Iraq is the same, most coming in from the Saudi's. Another of bush's fine "Mission Accomplished".

Support bush, you mudt br kiddding, he lied and thousands die. Support our troops, of course, they don't have the option of deciding if they'll go or not. If there was a draft we'd be out of there in a minute. New pokk out today by Ispol shows support for bush's handling of Iraq to a new all time low of just 38%.

Terrorism has been around forever, you can never stop it, this country did it to our own Native Americans.

Know your history Ace, any other questions I can slove for you just let me know.
