Absolutely. But even more than that is the fact that he's doing this to pimp his song. That's really lame...

Hmm. Looks like his site is down...

And btw... The outgoing Clinton Administration warned the incoming administration about al Qaeda. The Bush Administration had proof, a few days after the inauguration, that al Qaeda was responsible for the USS Cole bombing. They had over seven months to do something! They did nothing.

If we're going to rehash old stuff, I'm game -The previous administration was offered bin Laden by the Sudan - Clinton has said so in his own words and it is recorded - but did not take him.

And last I checked, JW - even though we don't have bin Laden , there hasn't been another attack. So I would suggest the current administration has done something.

Would you mind adding an "on American soil" qualifier to that statement?

scaeagles 07-16-2008 12:37 PM

Yes, certainly. My oversight indeed.

An interesting aside...

I was looking up members of the bin Laden family (just curiosity). Here is Omar bin Laden, one of Osama's 17 sons. He's rejected his father and al Qaeda, and has married an English woman.

That's all the Republicans have left, that and fearmongering.

scaeagles 07-16-2008 12:58 PM

Funny....all democrats have left is empty talk of "hope".

Actually, that is the result of the anti-terrorist rock I've been carrying in my pocket since 9/11.

Whether Clinton did or did not do the right thing is irrelevant in response to that inane billboard. The billboard is claiming that having a Republican in office is somehow going to magically make us safer than having a Democrat in office. The reality is that we were attacked with a Republican in office. What happened before not withstanding, there is concrete proof that having a Republican in office is not a mystical talisman against terrorist attack. Period.
