You should start here(make sure you read the whole thing) and then I will move to the next step on educating you.

The Clinton administration had 8 years to pursue alternative fuels. What was accomplished in those 8 years?

That is a fair point Fleet, but the Clinton administration didn't bankrupt the country. It was the Bush administration that took a surplus and turned it into a deficit and then cut taxes in the middle of two wars. It's ridiculous to blame the new administration for the fiscal situation that the country is in.

Clinton, please don't bring his name up!
We had a Marine sniper on Sadam head and
Clinton waved it off!
Things would be a lot better shape if he
pulled the trigger.
DEMs are known to be soft.

What do you call the 800 trillion Obama pulled?
Wasn't even necessary. Was that the right call?

Care to back that up with some proof? See I remember when Clinton was trying to get approval for going after Bin Laden and the campaign against it " no war for Monica" so forgive me if I dismiss that bit of your post. I'm old enough to know better.

What do you call the 800 billion that Bush gave DIRECTLY to IRAQ? Was that the keep the oil in the ground fund so the demand stays high?

That info is classified. You would only know that if you had a security code.
I was in the Marines at the time.

I was in the Air Force at the time and it's a SECURITY CLEARANCE with most members having a SECRET clearance.That wouldn't have been classified.They would have sent it through congress which is a public vote and records can be pulled on it if it exists.All congressional votes are on record thats why every election you can pull which candidates were for or against certain bills/votes.As for security clearances they are on a need to know basis with details always being withheld to keep everyone clear.
