I doubt Obama ever had control of the war on terror!

[scott_free]

Get back to us when 19 terrorists, 17 of them from Saudi Arabia, funded by fatcats in Saudi Arabia, led by a prominent Saudi Arabian, hijack our commercial planes and hit American targets in THIS COUNTRY KILLING 3000 AMERICANS about how bad Obama is on terror compared to Bush.  Why are right wingers so quick to remember who was the worst president in our history on every policy- Bush.  And Reagan was not much better.  Remember 241 American soldiers being killed in Lebanon while they were being used as peacekeepers with very restrictive rules of engagement Reagan signed off on? And you trying to compare an attack on people in Paris to those attacks on Americans when it comes to blaming presidents who were in office when they occurred?  And who gives a damn what that pinhead O'Reilly thinks?  HE WORKS FOR FOX!!

Prove that government of Saudi Arabia funded, supplied and trained Al Qaeda terrorists or any terrorist for that matter!

Why are right wingers so quick to remember who was the worst president in our history on every policy- Bush. 

Actually the worst president in American history was Jimmy Carter with Obama coming in as a close second!

President Bush did very well against the terrorists and with the American economy!

Obama has let the terrorists win time after time while the economy remains in the toilet!

And Reagan was not much better.  Remember 241 American soldiers being killed in Lebanon while they were being used as peacekeepers with very restrictive rules of engagement Reagan signed off on?

Those rules of engagement were leftovers of the Carter administration but not nearly as bad as Obama's rules of engagement! Also that was the first time anyone experienced the suicide truck bomb tactic!

And you trying to compare an attack on people in Paris to those attacks on Americans when it comes to blaming presidents who were in office when they occurred? 

Weakness in foreign policy guarantees attacks!

Clinton was offered Bin Laudin on a silver platter and he refused to take the scumbag!

Clinton had weapons on Bin Laudin but refused to pull the trigger because the lives of a handful of human shields were more important!

Democrats have demonstrated nothing but incompetence in foreign policy demonstrated by one disaster after another!

Your dishonesty is mind boggling.   9/11 was a surprise for "everyone" whether you claim people were warned or not, nobody beleive the U.S. would ever be attacked.. That was 14 years ago, supposedly we have awaken to the dangers.  Supposedly Now We Know...

[scott_free]

You are either lying about it being a big surprise, or you are really, really uninformed to the point of absolute ignorance.  How can you say it was that big of a surprise?  Were you not alive during that time?  The stories about bin laden being anxious to attack this country in a huge terrorist attack had been reported by almost every major media for months, especially during August when reports came out about certain administration officials being warned about using commercial jets for travel.  How did you miss this?

Barry Soetoro is a man who does evil and when he leaves office his evil friends who he let into this country will rain hell on that which he believes is The Great Satan!




OBTW Jim, nice trick keeping the board idiot occupied.

[Jim]

You are either lying about it being a big surprise,
 
Yes, WE were surprised. All of us. Including you and me and every neighbor we know.   I don't know what the government was told, but I would suspect they didn't imagine the attack that actually happened. Whether they were warned people didn't like us or not.  Its not the same today and you know it. As always you're just playing with semantics.

[scott_free]

 My facts beat your short term memory loss.  I remember when the attack first happened, and the buzz around the office, just minutes after the first plane hit and everyone wondered if it was just an incredibly bad accident...but then the second hit, and at least 5 different people said bin laden must die, knowing he was behind it in some way or another.  How did those 5 who actually said something, plus those that had heard of bin laden and thought he might be behind it, know about him being behind it if it was such a big surprise?
