Do you mean like not going to Switzerland for fear of being arrested for sanctioning torture?

How strange... yesterday I started a thread concerning the curious timing of the 2009 IRS Amnesty for Americans with funds 'hidden' in Switzerland, and Mitt's unwillingness to reveal his tax returns for that interesting year - got a couple of responses but the thread disappeared? Can't find the thread anywhere.

I'm glad President Bush didn't follow Clinton's example ......

Clinton reminds me of a little kid .... pay attention to MEEE! It would seem 8 years in the limelight was not sufficient.

In Bush's case, 8 years in the limelight was 8 years too many

Never an opportunity?????? They were never told before 9/11 that bin Laden was planning an attack on the United States and might use plans? They couldn't maybe make the plans more by having them close and lock the cockpit doors?

I dare say that in the event of Obama's re-election you'll live for another four years unless of course you have other plans.

Thank Bill Clinton for 911 folks.

Want links, look them up in the news all over google.
They had Osama Bin Laden and let him go after he declared war on us.

Bill Clinton let this cancer of Bin Laden survive and we later got the war on terror and 911.

Facts are facts folks.
Don't give Bill Clinton too many pats on the back.
He may have loved BJs from young girls in the White House, but he sure didn't fulfill his duty as President to protect this country IMO.
Is this why GWB went after Saddam instead?

I bring up these old ideas and old faults all the time, and it's as if Bill Clinton was born before Christ!

So ancient history, when in fact it was Bill who sold us out to commie red china, created the EPA, folks who think we can burn water, and just about invited terror into this nation for personal gain.

When Bill fired that missile he was busy playin with a cigar.

And what really gets me bad is Biden was working for him and wrote the STUPID GUN ban.

I can tell you getting Biden BACK under Obama was more than upsetting.

And the housing market bubble was just another of Bills grand plans...... The whole mess is directly related to him and what he did, and then it all crashed.

BUT he still made out like the Bandit he IS.

I hear he has a ranch 18 times bigger than Texas where he raised a lot of SHEEP

WAIT ONE BLOODY MINUTE!


2 seconds after Obama became President the Repugs in here SCREAMED "you can't talk about Bush!"

Now ,YOU'RE digging up Clinton!???? VERY two-faced!


AND the Clinton administration repeatedly tried to warn the new Bush administration about Bin Laden....he didn't want to know!

And with good reason...Bush and his masters wanted a war with Iraq in 1997....yes, there IS proof.

That was BEFORE, long before , 9/11. They NEEDED 9/11 to have an excuse to start their war with Iraq which they wanted BEFORE 9/11
