More Voters Blame Bush For Failure to Catch Bin Laden

[Trajan Octavian Titus]

The embassy bombings were a more significant than the others. But juxtaposed against 9/11 I would still say that it is dwarfed.

Oh ya I totally agree 9-11 was huge but the embassy bombings were bigger than anything that had happened before that.

Also, Africa was not our soil.

No actually technically U.S. embassies are U.S. soil.

I know, embassies are technically American soil. I was actually refering to inside our 50 states.

A dead American is a dead American whether they are killed in the continental U.S. or not, targeting U.S. interests abroad is just as much an act of war as if it had happened in New York or San Fransisco.

But when we do it it's called "foreign policy", right?

Our you equating terrorist attacks against civilian populations of the United States to legitimate military strike against those terrorists?

No. Actually I was refering to our covert funded attacks on innocent civilians in Central and South America.

Actually the Sandanistas were the ones slaughtering innocent civilians in mass not the Contras.

So every time an American is killed unjustly on foreign soil we should go to war?:doh

What do you call a country that has interests everywhere in the world?

What does the rest of the world call a country that has interests everywhere in the world?

No but if it's a bombing with mass casualties then it deserves a response.

The Bush administration doesn't agree with you. The quote is: "Everything changed after 9/11."

Nobody ever said,"Everything changed after the African Embassy bombings."

What say you? Keep it pithy. No bloviating. My job. :rofl

though I kinda agree with this one in one sense. Its hard to blame Clinton for not catching him, when he wasnt really trying to in the first place.

It makes more sense to blame the president that is ACTUALLY PERSUING him for not catching him.

Funny you should bring this up ... I watched Fox News Sunday with Mike Wallace today and the talking heads burried Clinton's performance from a week ago...

I think catching OBL was not on the top of the list because the Bush Administration had the insight to see that Dems see terror ending with OBL ending... to kill or capture OBL would be reason to focus on liberal agenda socialism projects... spend money on anti terror and keep the country safe then the Dems would say for what OBL is dead. Obl is better alive than dead because if he is reported dead the war on terror is over in about half of Americans minds until the next attack.

Things should have changed after the '93 WTC, unfortunately they didn't and 9-11 was allowed to happen.

Since Jimmy Carter empowered the radicals terror has been happening in different degrees... As said,after 9-11 everything changed... One may think real hard and remember that Bush handled a downed spy aircraft in China early into his administration... not an excuse but a distraction.

I suppose the next thing your going to tell me is the Sandanistas put Pinochet in power?

No that would be the Chilean Chamber of Deputies (the equievalent of our House of Representatives), because of the numersous usurptations of the Chilean Constitution enacted by Allende.

The Sandanistas and Contras were in Nicaragua BTW.

Our embassys and ships are not considered foreign soil.......

Yes, in retrospect, things should have changed. I wouldn't say that it was allowed to happen. We failed to stop it. Allowed makes it sound like they had expressed written consent.

Our embassies are U.S. soil. They also have been abandoned when it was not safe for us to be there. It is soil that we will surrender rather than defend to the last death. I can make the distinction, can you?
