    So what exactly is Obama doing differently from the Bush administration that is making the US more vulnerable to attack?
    I could see that prosecuting people who did something under one administration, only to be brought up on charges by the NEXT administration, might have a cooling effect on their actions, especially any that come close to some moral line (which apparently can be moved).

    Well the conservatives have already set the precedent that the person to blame in a terrorists attack is when all the planning take place. For a little reminder:

    Since the planning for 9/11 happened under Clinton's watch he's to blame..fast forward 8 years.. Since the planning for the future attack happened under Bush's watch then it belongs to him.


    Or you girls can just admit 9/11 was Bush's fault so you can now blame Obama if one does happen...
    What did president Clinton do with the almost one terrorist attack per year on US assets?

    NOTHING!

    Buy a clue please. As bad as President Bush was at other things, he did his best to protect this nation, so you.

    clinton fired a missle or two from 1100 miles away. now that's some planning.
    He fired more than a few missiles. My understanding is he depleted our arsenal of cruise missiles, and we had to build more after he left.

    The fact that Clinton shot a bunch of cruise missiles, but did nothing about terrorist attacks, seems an odd juxtaposition.

    Seems like since the country protected itself at the source countries breeding the types that attacked us nothing has happened on American soil since.

    Why travel when they can kill us in Iraq and Afghanistan? Sometimes doing nothing is better than doing something, but Cheney had an energy plan and Saddam and the Taliban were in the way

    How, exactly, has Obama made our nation less safe or secure? Typical Republican fear-mongering with absolutely no evidence to back it up. I call bull .
    Fear mongering? what rock have you been under? We have quadrupled the national debt, because if congress didn't sign a bill THEY DIDN'T EVEN READ the whole world economy would fall into the dark ages.We have to have CRAP AND TRADE or all life on the planet will dissapear from global warming.We have to sign a bill right now in two week to give health care over to the goverment or the economy will fall and people will start dying in the streets.

    This administration survives on fear, it makes snake handlers praying for the rapture look like science.

    Trained by Al Queda...with Al Queda money...trained until they landed on American soil to take pilot training lessons after their intense training in the areas of Afganistan and Iraq by their Al Queda operatives.

    There was NO preventive actions taken prior to 9/11 to stop this kind of infiltration. Which by the way was heavily going on during the Clinton administration.

    I'm suprised being you are in the Air Force that you don't realize that many associated with Al Queda are from diverse areas of the middle east.

    Did you know that in Isreal there is the Bin Laden tower?
