When asked on US television if she [Madeline Albright, US Secretary of State]On May 12, 1996, Madeleine Albright appeared on a 60 Minutes segment in which Lesley Stahl asked her "We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth thought th it?" and Albright replied "we think the price is worth it."



Unicef: 500,000 children (including sanctions, collateral effects of war). "[As of 1999] [c]hildren under 5 years of age are dying at more than twice the rate they were ten years ago."

I am sure luzianne wouldn't be giving the Seals all the credit had OBL been caught on Bush's watch.

Exactly what did Obama do to catch bin Laden? And exactly how has it helped? Did it end terrorism? No. The extremists even said that we wouldn't eradicate terror by taking down bin Laden. Instead you have people like the Boston bombers and their parents declaring jihad.

Clinton was a coward who ignored the danger presented by international terrorist organizations going all the way back to the first attack on the WTC in 1993.

You obviously didn't look into Clintons actions and what happened. Might check it out before you make erroneous claims.

Place the airlines on full alert.Tell them of the impending danger. Increase airport screening and pat downs, racially profile and look for middle easterners especially when several are on a flight together.
Look for possible culprits in the country and track them down. They had months of time from when the first warnings came in.


Ok, so now a bush basher has answered your lame question...now what. indeed we can answer and provide far better option than the nothing we got. The nothing that resulted in 3000 deaths. You can talk until you are blue in the face and yet you will never make bush a good president.

Why, yes...

Yes I can.

We're still there because Bush/Cheney allowed it fester and devolve into an unwinnable quagmire. We should have been out well before the end of Bush's term. Instead, he left it for his successor to clean up. And he will.

Does anyone really believe the Iraqi's were interested in fertilizer?

Your answer was a typical sensational oversimplified answer by Cheney from the special, same types of thinking that got us in the war, Niger exports emeralds, molybendite, maganese, limestone iron-ore........

Nigeria's Export Products- Minerals


Joe Wilson was a lifelong civil servant with years of experience, he didn't need anyone to get him a job. The Bush administration doubled down to punish Valerie Plame because she didn't tell them what they wanted to hear, ask Scooter Libby.

How to debunk George W. Bush’s attempts at revisionism - Salon.com
If Bush is an idiot, what is Obama? Obama is a complete and utter imbicile!

What "rewrite" is Bush doing? We know the history. There is no "rewrite" taking place.

Obama is a liar. He will lie when the truth is better.

We were far better off under the Bush presidency. Certainly we were safer, and most definitely better off economically.

Who do you think Obama's supporters are?
