WHERE WAS EVERYONE when these events were happening? Notice in particular the dates for the events....including the 1997 note...
For any people who are criticizing the current Administration for not doing enough........WHERE WERE YOU while ALL these events were going on???
And for the folks who clapped during Dr Rice's testimony....During the times noted below, did you complain or do anything to encourage our Government to do more, and let the American people know we were at WAR? Or did you not? If not, WHY NOT?
Should any Administration automatically send missiles, or whatever, to the homeland of whoever/whatever group caused a bombing in America?
