The RNC rebuttal, from Communications director Jim Dyke
"Al Gore served as Vice President of this country for eight years. During that time, Osama Bin Laden declared war on the United States five times and terrorists killed US citizens on at least four different occasions including the first bombing of the World Trade Center, the attacks on Khobar Towers, our embassies in East Africa, and the USS Cole"
"Al Gore's attacks on the President today demonstrate that he either does not understand the threat of global terror, or he has amnesia."

If it's sarcastic.. I don't get it.
If we did.. then because I wasn't aware of this great news.. my celebration was rather.. lackluster.
And good ol RNC Comm Director clearly suffers from either amnesia himself or the same self-induced willful ignorance of history that seems to permeate the right-wing these days.Quote:

Well let's see here. The 1st WTC Bombing was in 1993 - scant months after Clinton and Gore entered office. One could pretty much surmise that most of the planning for it went on under the nose of the previous president. Not only that, until the bombing, no-one really even knew al Quaeda existed. It was the investigation of WTC bombing that first put al Quaeda even on the radar - that made us aware of its existence. And guess what? We sucessfully prosecuted those responsible. Yeah .. big failure there, Mr RNC.
The USS Cole bombing happened at the end of the Clinton years .. and we didn't even know for sure it was al Quaeda until after Bush was in office. So .. the RNC is going to bag on Gore for that?
Meanwhile, on Clinton and Gore's watch we did things institute the largest increases funding for anti-terrorism ever, create stockpiles of antidote and vaccines against bio-weapons (where do you think all the anti-anthrax stuff came from?), thwart many many terrorist attacks including the millenium attack.
And .. if you go a little deeper into Clinton's repsonses to terrorist attacks, you'll find that it was the military's downfall more than his. They gave him two options for fighting terrorism - nothing, or a full-scale invasion. And .. when he did actually attempt to do something he was accused of a "wag-the-dog" policy - that he was just trying to get Monica off the front page. Gee, thanks Ken Starr and the Republican attack dogs for making the country safe against blow jobs.
So .. you can bag on Clinton and Gore all you want for all kinds of things - but terrorism is one area that they did one hell of a great job despite the obstacles they faced - like being under frivolous investigation for most of their tenure in office.

you are retarded, fat kid
