Eminence Underwear

"You can fool some people all the time, and all the people from time to time, but you can not fool everyone all the time," is a quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln. Yet, as wise a man as our 16th president was, apparently former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, disputes this and believes that all people can be fooled all the time. In a recent interview with ABC, George Stephanopoulos, Giuliani said the December 25, 2009, attempted a terrorist attack on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 by Umar Farouk Nigerian born Abdulmutallab: "What [Obama] is doing is following good things that Bush did - one thing he did was to treat this as a war against terror. We did not have insider attacks under Bush. "Perhaps Mr. 9 / 11" does not try to fool all the people. Maybe he was really amnesiac (Stephanopoulos and may also have been because he did not deny the strange Giuliani). Giuliani apparently forgotten that 9 / 11 and the attempt by Richard Reid - the shoe bomber - to blow up American Airlines Flight 63 Once on the watch of Bush

I do not think most people have amnesia when it comes to the biggest attack ever having taken place on American soil. I do not think Giuliani is trying to capitalize on the misconception that most people that the Conservatives are strong on national security - and by extension the war against terrorism - and the Liberals are weak. However, it was not strange omission of 9 / 11 that I was most struck by the statement of Rudy, it was the recommendation that Obama should somehow follow the example of Bush on the fight against terrorism. I decided to look at what some of these good things GW Bush and his conservative cohorts not do before and after the most calamitous act of terrorism ever to have occurred on American soil. These are my top ten reasons why Rudy and company should downspout trying to portray the incident has no underwear attack as a sign of weakness for Obama against terrorism. Paul Schaeffer play background music crazy for us.

1. The Bush administration failed to act on (PDB) presidential daily briefing of August 6, 2001, which warned against an eminent attack by Al Qaeda on the United States.

Final Report of the Committee published in January 2001 warned large-scale terrorist attacks on American soil, and more specifically a "weapon of mass destruction in a tall building."

4. The Bush administration failed to take action against the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, even after determining in February 2001, Al-Qaeda was responsible for the October 2000 attack against the USS Cole.

5. Bush announced a new Office of National Protection for terrorism within FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), but reducing the budget for FEMA 200 million.

6. The Bush administration continued to oppose more than one year an independent inquiry into the intelligence failures preceding 9 / 11. President Obama to be "Mr. The Buck Stops Here "that is, not only ordered a review, but accepted full responsibility for security weaknesses that may have led to the attempted terrorist attack.
