"So what was it during the eight years of Clinton that got them so steamed up to plan an attack for years that finally happened on 9/11."

It started before then. It was our basing of troops in Saudi Arabia after Gulf War I.

At least, that is what UBL claimed. Maybe he lied.

What has Bush done to protect us from asteroid strikes? He's doing a great job, we haven't had any of those either..

AQ has struck Spain and London, among others. I wonder if the Brits feel that Tony going into Iraq with the chimp has protected them?

re:You make like the Muslims woke up one day and decided to attack the US.....out of the blue. That's nonsense. There is a causality in every relationship blowout. And there was causality in 1993 and in 2001

So what was it during the eight years of Clinton that got them so steamed up to plan an attack for years that finally happened on 9/11. Your comments make no sense, we haven't had any attacks since Bush has taken action.


I guess you must not have been paying attention like most Americans. For some time now, OBL and al Qaida have been upset that Bush I established airbases in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War......in what Muslims consider Mecca.

I know, I know......you think its no big deal but to them it is. It would be the equivalent of them building a huge mosque on the Washington Monument lawn.
