Evidently, by the time he left office, Clinton was convinced that was a number one priority and had done a great deal to implement.
OK, as I said before, this is going to be a long spin season. And the fact you state as "evident" is going to be spin topic number one.
For the obvious reasons, which we don't really have to go into, we both know them. Popularity ratings, coattails, stuff like that.
I don't want to bash anyone about this topic, it's too dang important, and if anyone wants to bash Clinton, I won't pile on, and if anyone wants to bash Bush, I won't fight back.
But I would appreciate more factual basis for your assertion other than "evidently." Because it's not evident to me.
What was done, and by whom? New agencies? New budgets? New technology? New deployments? What?

Edit: I really, really don't want to dig up the Democrat spin after 911 that the reason Clinton DID NOT focus on terrorism was because the Republicans hounded him constantly over Monica, etc.
The reason I don't want to dig it up is because I happen to think it's probably true. Which maybe is a backhanded way of bashing Clinton, and maybe a compliment. He probably could have done better. He had it in him.
But it was spun that way, and the fact that it was spun at all is totally at odds with the new spin.
I am a tough old broad, I can handle spin. Just give me the facts.
I am as serious as a heart attack. Don't give me BS, give me facts. |
