Additionally, I am hard pressed to identify a single beneficial or effective accomplishment of Bill Clinton in regard to fighting terrorism.
I'm sure that some of the French thought it was a bad idea to help with the American Revolution, but I'm thankful they weren't in charge.

The statement cannot be premature Marv, as it is intended to address current events, by using current events. If we were talking about a " Future History" lecture, perhaps your opinion on Bush would be accurate, but we wont know for a couple decades. As for Mr. Cinton, I would agree with you, however he has nothing to do with this discussion, and falling back on the "Bush isn't all that bad....Just look at Clinton" position, is a very tired and played out strategy, though the French Connection is a new one to me.
