Neutone, so you're saying that OBL recruited his people, trained them, planned 9/11, and executed it all between the time Bush took office and when it happened?

The democrats gutted, and I mean GUTTED, our military. It's barely a fraction of what it was when Clinton took office. Why don't we have more troops on the ground in Iraq? Because the Democrats took the military from being able to deal with two brush wars and the Soviet Union invading Europe simultaneously to being unable to deal with one brush war effectively.

OBL's animosity towards America FAR predates Dubya's taking office. And Clinton taught the Terrorists that the SAFEST thing they could do was to attack American targets by treating their attacks as a law enforcement matter.

There are two main lines of thought in foreign policy now. There's the "walk softly but carry a big stick" approach, and there's the "If we surrender now, they will not attack us anymore, maybe" approach. The Big Stick approach is far more effective.

Trillions for defense, not one goddamned penny for tribute.
