Poor Republican

David Axelrod had this to say about Former Vice President Dick Cheney on CNN’s State of the Union:

“I find it supremely ironic,” Axelrod replied, “on a day when we were meeting with NATO to talk about the continued threat from al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where they’re still plotting against us eight years — or seven years — later. I think the question for Mr. Cheney is, how could that be? How could this have gone so long? Why are they still in business?”

Here is my question for Mr. Axelrod:  where were you on 9/11/2001?

Bill Clinton became president on January 20, 1993.

The first WTC attack happened on February 26, 1993.

On June 25, 1996 the Khobar Towers was bombed, killing 20, 19 of whom were Americans.

On August 7, 1998 three U.S. embassies in Africa were bombed killing 12 Americans and more than 200 others.

On October 12, 2000 the U.S.S. Cole was bombed while refueling in Yemen, killing 17 American sailors.

All of these attacks occurred during Bill Clinton’s term.

Where was Mr. Axelrod when Khobar Towers was bombed?  Where was Mr. Axelrod when our embassies were bombed?  Where was Mr. Axelrod when the Cole was bombed?  Eight years after the first WTC attack, after numerous other attacks, how is it that David Axelrod never asked President Clinton why Al-Qaeda was still around to stage the second WTC attack on 9/11?  Bill Clinton failed to put a stop to Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden from 1993 to 2001.

If he hadn’t failed, there would have been no 9/11 to blame Bush for, as liberals always do.  Had Bill Clinton stopped Al-Qaeda, there would have been no intelligence for Bush to supposedly ignore….there would have been no Al-Qaeda.

Such sneering questions as those you make to Dick Cheney sound clever only to those with short memories or without access to history books or that whole “interweb” thing, Mr. Axelrod.

One other minor point, Mr. Axelrod.

If Dick Cheney is not a “statesmen” because he criticizes The Messiah, then Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter are outright traitors by comparison.

Al Gore, referring to President Bush: “He betrayed this country!  He played on our fears.”

Bill Clinton spent most, if not all of Bush’s presidency attacking him.

And Jimmy Carter?

“I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history.”

Were these men also not behaving like statesmen, Mr. Axelrod?

Like all liberals, David Axelrod mistakes intellectual dishonesty for intellectual superiority.

This is actually a good thing for him, because Comrade Obama’s new Red Brigades can’t tell the difference either.
