Don't forget to post pictures of the 1993 WTC bombing, DEMON.

Also, don't forget to post 1995 pictures of the Oklahoma City bombing.

Oh yeah, I forgot the Branch Davidian Waco, Texas massacre as well.

Keep the pictures coming!

Those were all President Bush the first's fault.

Minor events in comparison really. "Justice" has essentially been carried out in each case. No?

ha ha!

I'm glad to see you have a sense of humor.

False questions, one and all. Bush's approach with the economy is far different from Clinton's, but each are making their base extremely happy with their policies. Bushies DON'T believe in "balancing the budget" or the concern over future generations having to pay for this ones debts. And though that SOUNDS terrible, it's actually not. Supply-sdie economics HAVE been proven to be valid, as is evidenced by the recent surplus discovered this weekend/ Where did the surplus come from? Increased revenue from industry. How did that happen? Because people had money to spend due to Bush's tax cuts, and that made more available for the private sector to spend.

Foreign policy and security, things have changed. Dramatically. Not for the best, but that's not the kind of world we live in, or really ever have. 9/11 didn't change the world, it just made the USA finally part of its realities.

Healthcare, depends who you ask. 90% of people in the medical field will ABSOLUTELY say Bush is superior.

Immigration, I think Clinton actually looked the other way b/c it wasn't a front page issue at the time. He left it for someone else to deal with. I only really started thinking about it thanks to books like Fast Food Nation and Springsteen's album Ghost of Tom Joad. Both highly recommended.

The big difference to me is Clinton...the world liked and respected America more with him. And I was prouder to be a US citizen. The cynicism that was part of our culture from 80 - 92 eroded during his presidency, and came right back...well, even during Bush's campaign.

Phooey to it all.

BTW to post pics of the WTC is disgusting and highly inappropriate. Knock it off FORD.

DEMON is FORD?

...

SURPLUS??!!? Dude, get off the crack pipe:

A.) There was NO surplus, the deficit was merely not quite as large as they originally projected. Woo-hoooo!! It's only the fourth largest deficit ever and not the third...

B.) There's dispute, but some say that the budget deficit projection is inflated, so they can say later, "see, it's not as big as we thought."

Tax revenues are higher under Bush's presidency than Clinton's, even though Americans pay less taxes.

Amazing how that works.

Were the questions slanted per EMA's menstrual rant? sure.

Only because I know there will be a copycat thread slanted the other way in no time.




Half of this was tongue-in-cheeck, because it is well known I HATE and DESPISE the whole "Diver Down VS WACF" threads, and "Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton" crap.



Scientific?

No.


Fun to watch?

Hell ya.

Yeah, if only that Bin Laden determined to strike in US PDB (presidential daily briefing) offered some sort of clue to the Bush Administration... Then maybe we wouldn not have to look at that picture. Because they should have been able to prevent it.

Read more:

CNN: Transcript: Bin Laden determined to strike in US MEMO

FROM THE PDB:
Bin Laden implied in U.S. television interviews in 1997 and 1998 that his followers would follow the example of World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef and "bring the fighting to America."

...patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York.

+++++++++++

Does that picture offend you? Fuck you neocon.

Bullshit.


Posting pictures of events isn't disgusting. It's truth. It's history.

What's disgusting is that it was allowed to happen, and that our response was to invade, overthrow, and occupy a country which had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with those towers crumbling.

Here we go, let's blame the STORY, not the people behind the story.


Do you consider pictures of Pearl Harbor, Omaha Beach, or Saigon "disgusting"???



C'mon
