Democrats did not support Republican president's War on Terror

Rush remember a REPUBLICAN was in office in 2001.

DEMOCRATS universally stood as one nation with George W. Bush after 9/11 and DEMOCRATS universally voted to authorize military action to go after Afghanistan.

Does anyone seriously believe that if a DEMOCRAT had been in office in 2001, Republicans would have done the same?

1. A REPUBLICAN was given all the detailed files on Bin Laden that Clinton had used to intercept TWO terror attacks (LAX and millenium), and Clinton’s National Security Advisor Sandy Berger turned over all the files and data to Bush’s incoming NSA Condoleezza Rice, who PROMPTLY IGNORED THEM and never touched them until after 9/11.

2. It was a REPUBLICAN in 2001 who rebuffed Richard Clarke, the top counterinsurgency expert, who had been serving through Reagan, Daddy Bush and Clinton. Clarke asked to meet with Bush regarding urgent terror intelligence within a week of Bush’s taking office. Bush ignored him. Clarke repeatedly tried to meet with Bush and was rebuffed, the last time ONE WEEK before 9/11.

3. It was a REPUBLICAN in 2001 who gave $43 MILLION DOLLARS to the Taliban May 17 2001, even after we knew they had blown up the Buddhist shrines and were persecuting women.

4. It was a REPUBLICAN in 2001 who ignored specific terror warnings. FBI agents have testified of warning of known Islamic terrorists (including several who were actually involved in 9/11) in flight schools and BUSH IGNORED THEM. Specifically, FBI agent Coleen Rowley submitted formal warnings that were IGNORED.

5. It was a REPUBLICAN in 2001 who ignored FBI undercover informant Elie Assad who, having infiltrated Al Qaeda cells, pointed to Mohammad Atta as a terrorist to trail, but was diverted to insignificant “wannabee” terrorists over his objection.

6. It was a REPUBLICAN in 2001 who got a very specific Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) on August 6, 2001, which specified that Bin Laden was planning an attack inside the United States that could possibly include flying aircraft into buildings. Bush was on vacation and IGNORED IT. (Condoleezza Rice would later ask how anyone could have expected terrorists to fly planes into buildings.)

7. After the attacks, It was a REPUBLICAN in 2001 who promised to get Bin Laden “dead or alive.”
Bush is gone.
OSAMA BIN LADEN is STILL ON THE LOOSE.
