As I said before, you are all hypocrits and when the Clintons win the nomination you will all vote for her anyway. It is truly amazing that it took the Clintons picking on a minority to open your eyes.

I wouldn't mind not having most of the world hate us, especially former, long-trusted allies.

The following is the text of an item from the President's Daily Brief received by President William J. Clinton on December 4, 1998. It was declassified for the Report of the 9/11 Commission. Redacted material is indicated in brackets.

SUBJECT: Bin Ladin Preparing to Hijack US Aircraft and Other Attacks

1. Reporting [—] suggests Bin Ladin and his allies are preparing for attacks in the US, including an aircraft hijacking to obtain the release of Shaykh ‘Umar ‘Abd al-Rahman, Ramzi Yousef, and Muhammad Sadiq ‘Awda. One source quoted a senior member of the Gama’at al-Islamiyya (IG) saying that, as of late October, the IG had completed planning for an operation in the US on behalf of Bin Ladin, but that the operation was on hold. A senior Bin Ladin operative from Saudi Arabia was to visit IG counterparts in the US soon thereafter to discuss options—perhaps including an aircraft hijacking.

IG leader Islambuli in late September was planning to hijack a US airliner during the “next couple of weeks” to free ‘Abd al-Rahman and the other prisoners, according to what may be a different source.

The same source late last month said that Bin Ladin might implement plans to hijack US aircraft before the beginning of Ramadan on 20 December and that two members of the operational team had evaded security checks during a recent trial run at an unidentified New York airport.[—]

2. Some members of the Bin Ladin network have received hijack training, according to various sources, but no group directly tied to Bin Ladin’s al-Qa’ida organization has ever carried out an aircraft hijacking. Bin Ladin could be weighing other types of operations against US aircraft. According to [—] the IG in October obtained SA-7 missiles and intended to move them from Yemen into Saudi Arabia to shoot down an Egyptian plane or, if unsuccessful, a US military or civilian aircraft.

A [—] in October told us that unspecified “extremist elements” in Yemen had acquired SA-7s.[—]

3.[—] indicate the Bin Ladin organization or its allies are moving closer to implementing anti-US attacks at unspecified locations, but we do not know whether they are related to attacks on aircraft. A Bin Ladin associate in Sudan late last month told a colleague in Kandahar that he had shipped a group of containers to Afghanistan. Bin Ladin associates also talked about the movement of containers to Afghanistan before the East Africa bombings.

In other [—] Bin Ladin associates last month discussed picking up a package in Malaysia. One told his colleague in Malaysia that “they” were in the “ninth month [of pregnancy].”

An alleged Bin Ladin supporter in Yemen late last month remarked to his mother that he planned to work in “commerce” from abroad and said his impending “marriage,” which would take place soon, would be a “surprise.”“Commerce”and “marriage” often are codewords for terrorist attacks.[—]

Didn't the deficit decrease under Clinton? He may have been a lousy husband, but I'll take a lousy home life in exchange for so-called "moral" hypocrites who can't run do a decent job of running the country.

I'm a moderate and would love for a President and Congress that was more concerned with serving the nation than serving their party. We saw it under Clinton and under Bush. I could definitely do without that.

Sounds as logical as the ones who will vote for Obama because Oprah said so. Some folks just don't care about issue.
I'm sure voters are different up there, and if not, we'll send you some of our more astute ones.

Hell no I don't want Hillary as our next President!

Unfortunately, we don't have much choice this election.

Kind of like when Bush and Gore ran, I think the only reason Bush got in was because it was the lesser of two evils.

Whoa Green lady, at least the President has control of his faculties, yeah he did not invent the internet, but he is in the process of brokering the peace in a region of the world that is so full of turmoil, yet you can say that the President was the lesser of two evils.

I assume when you say that,"he is in the process of brokering the peace in a region of the world that is so full of turmoil" You are referring to Iraq???

If so, I will say, Bush MAY be trying to bring peace to Iraq, but is he? I'm know there are good and bad people in Irag, we just hear of the bad. It seems almost everyday we lose another one of our troops due to the constant violence in that country.

Do we need our troops over there? Why should our young men and women continue to "babysit" the people of Iraq? The war has officially ended, it did months ago. There is no need for us to remain over there. Our troops are being killed for what? Bush is so damn stubborn he refuses to listen to reason. I'll be glad to see a new President in office, anything will be better than him....not that I like the choices we will have in the next election...once again, it will be the lesser of two evils.

Yes Iraq. Bush is bringing the peace, and the instruments of this peace is our military. Let me ask you this, when Reagan told Mr Garbachev did you believe that it would happen? Did you think that the world would ever be rrid of the soviets? You ssee it doesn't matter what you think, not being rude, but it doesn't. It also doesn't matter what I think. What matters is what the Commander and Chief does and says, it also matter what the troops on the ground say, serveral of who I know and have spoken to. And they have all said that what we are doing there is necessary and proper. That we are working to save a people, and we need to help them to stand up. Well enter the surge, and since it has gone into effect Iraqis are starting to stand up and fight for their country, and stand beside their american counterparts to defeat the enemy.
Violence at this point is part of the territory, but the soldiers I know say they would gladly do this over again, because they know the effort is worth it.

No, Bush got in because idiot Al Gore picked the wrong running mate for Vice President.
