<p>Zaphod:

I think there is plenty of evidence that supports the notion that the Clinton Administration was asleep at the switch when it came to terrorism, and that their weak handling of numerous situations contributed to the chain of events that led to 9/11.

</p>

<p>On Monday, 9/11, a shill for the Clintonistas, was making the rounds with the mainstream media trying to lay the blame for the failure to capture / eliminate Usama bin Laden squarely on George Tenet. I’m sorry, but the DCI does not have that authority without a Presidential “Finding.”</p>

<p>

The enemy here are the TERRORISTS.

</p>

<p>Well put. The enemy are the Islamic Fascists who want to either destroy us or make us convert to Islam.</p>

<p>

That one side of the political spectrum seems to be hell-bent on helping the enemy is a post-9/11 phenomenon.

</p>

<p>During World War II everybody rallied behind FDR. Politics was put aside; the wellbeing of our great nation was the foremost consideration. We did not grant constitutional rights to our enemies. Captured German spies / saboteurs off the east coast of the U.S. were tried by military tribunal and were executed posthaste. The ACLU didn’t interfere back then.</p>

<p>

Hell, we could go all the way back to the commission that decimated the CIA back in the 1970’s

</p>

<p>That would be Admiral Stansfield Turner (USNA '47). It was called the Halloween Massacre.</p>

<p>

and to Jimmy Carter (who let this entire little ball get rolling in the first place).

</p>

<p>Yep, Jimmy Carter (USNA '47) failed to support the Shah of Iran. Iran used to be a staunch ally of the USA before we turned our backs of the Shah because of so called “human rights abuses.” Who is more abusive, the Shah or the Ayatollahs? Are the Iranians really better off under the new regime?</p>
