> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Airman Doors, USAF \* > BTW, when I cited stuff that happened under Clinton’s watch, it hadn’t occurred to me that he was under the same circumstances as Bush was. So I won’t blame that on him, if you don’t blame 9/11 on Bush. Deal? Sorry, **Doors,** can’t buy that, because when Clinton took office in January 1992, he didn’t get any briefings from the outgoing administration about any terrorism threats, nor any ready-mix plans for fighting _al Qaeda,_ or anything **else** to indicate that domestic terrorism would be a growing concern for his administration. By all accounts we’ve seen, the administration of George W. Bush **did** get forewarned about the terrorism threat from the first day of his office, and he still sat on it. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Scylla \* > He cheats at golf all the time, is terrorized by Hillary who he lies to constantly. He blatantly looked down the dress of Mrs. Patterson while holding her captive in a handshake for like 30 seconds. He hated the military, and was truly careless and unbothered by military losses, and had no regard for the safety of his men, was consistently irresponsible and uninterested in national security, needing to be browbeaten to do anything at all. All of this is laid out one anecdote at a time very credibly. > Without coming out and saying it, Patterson pretty much lays the 9/11 blame squarely on Clinton’s shoulders. What?!? Bill Clinton stared at a woman’s cleavage? Holy shit, no wonder terrorists flew hijacked airliners into the World Trade Center! ---

The powers-that-be are about to change the signs at the State’s borders from “Welcome to Iowa–a corn field quartered by Interstate Highways,” to “Blow job capital of the Nation–Was it good for you?” 😃 ---

**Ponders this new point of information about Iowa** Hmm combine this new info with the legendary Iowa stubbornness and you’ve got very good definitions of either heaven or hell, depending on how you look at it. Maybe Iowa is an interesting state after all! Enjoy, Steven ---

I’ll never be able to hear this the same way again: “Oh, there’s nothing halfway About the Iowa way we treat you When we treat you Which we may not do at all.” ---
