What would liberals have done if they were in charge during 9/11?

Prepare indictments and offer therapy to help us understand why they hate us.\n\nOr maybe order a rush shipment of White Flags from France?

becuase the first thing the new democratic house and senate would have done would have been to fire him. i think\n1. to beat them to it\n2. to make bush look better...like he wants to work with the house and senate

the us could have prevented the first 9-11 from happening, they knew before hand and chose to do nothing. So what makes anyone think they will do anything the next time something like this happens

The first thing they would do is blame George W Bush, whether or whether not he was President. If we had a demacrat as a President they might be willing to do something about it, but probably not enough. They would probably want to try to appease the terrorists in some way. As long as there is a Republican in the oval office they will only play the blame game.  Liberals dont have any kind of plan for the future , they just criticize whatever the President or the republicans do.

9/11 was being planned 10 years before Bush and Chaney were in the White House!  U.S. targets were hit 8 times by Islamic terrorists while Clinton was in office. I guess that was Bush's fault too?  You are a complete idiot!

Clinton was handed bin laden when he was in office ; but "refused". The Liberals really grasp at anything they can to criticize President Bush , because it's like you say:"They can't win elections".Instead of standing for anything or trying to help the country-they look at the worst in anything, and then they run with that "doom & gloom" football.It's like they can't handle it when nothing is "wrong", because how are they going to convince the population what "loosers" they are with out them ..

Well, if you honestly are open to the answer.\n\nI would have been shocked and appalled the same way he was after 9/11 and I would have gone after Osama and taken out the Taliban the same way he did for harboring a fugitive.\n\nI too would have created an organization for all intelligence departments etc. but I would not have called it the dept of homeland security bringing language that sounds like the 3rd reich - probably the Intelligence and Security Organization Agency (ISOA).\n\nI would have done more to support the UN so that it was the UN that enforced it's resolutions, not just us.  I would not have taken us into Iraq with the minimal of world support we got on what was clearly wrong information (I know, you will say hindsight, but NOPE, there is proof the info was questionable even at the time.)\n\nHad I for some reason I cannot fathom gone into Iraq "alone" I would not have declared victory until we had it.  I would not have second guessed my generals and would have committed the resources necessary to protect my soldiers.\n\nI would not worry about amending the constitution for gay marriage, there are far too greater issues facing the totality of the country.  That is an issue for states to decide (14th amendment).\n\nI would have gotten on the Senate and their wussy border / immigration bill and made it clear we don't even talk about worker programs or amnesty until the borders are secure (especially since we are concerned with terrorists coming over.)\n\nYes, I would have made mistakes, but I think the most important thing is that I would have admitted to them and not given anyone the idea that I or my administration is above the law.  I would not have tolerated an inference of favoritism toward any industry or inference of illegality anywhere near my administration.  I also would not have given jobs to my buddies, but rather those that were qualified. (that would have helped Katrina victims a tad better.)\n\nYou are right, he has done some good, but you asked the question and that is my answer. (like you really wanted it).

The only real problem I have with liberals is that they complain about the way things are but I never hear what their alternate plan is that will make the country better.  It doesn't seem to matter what the President does, it is automatically criticized by the left, without offering any viable alternative  Think about this, if Clinton had been President during 9/11 I bet he would not have done a damn thing about it except to launch another missile strike against another milk factory in Africa.  Liberals don't seem to have a sense of history.  The Islamic terrorists have been attacking America and killing Americans since the 1980's.  We just finally had a President in office with the balls to stand up to those jerk offs.  I am answering this question with a question of my own.  If everything the conservative are doing is wrong, just what is this great plan the liberals have????  I am so glad John Kerry lost.  He would have to take a public opinon poll every time before he would make a decision about anything.  Every time we get a Democrat in the Presidency our taxes go up and the military is gutted, stripped to the bone, leaving us totally unprepared when we are attacked.  I don't want a nurse maid government that thinks it knows what is best for me and wants to set up more government "programs" to take care of every aspect of our lives.  That is not what the bill of rights and the Constitution is all about, never was.  Liberals seem to think that most of us are just to dumb to think for ourselves and run our own lives.  They are constantly trying to divide the country instead of uniting us, always talking about this group or that group that is "dis-infranchised"  Liberalisum is to close to socialisum for me.  I have talked to liberals that went to see that piece of crap movie Michal Moore made and actually think its the truth!!  Give me a break!

I DOUBT even that would help!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO is going to TEACH the LIBERALS how to use them??!!!!!

I wonder if you'll get one intelligent liberal answer to this question...or just ignorant name calling and Bush bashing.\n\nI had asked what would Clinton have done if the towers were attacked (knowing full well they were Feb of 1993). You'd be surprised at the ignorant answers.

I am a liberal. While I don't believe Bush planned 9/11, I do believe he ignored warnings about it.\n\nCIA agents met with bin Laden in July 2001 in a hospital where he could easily have been arrested.\nhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/waronterror/story/0,1361,584444,00.html\n\nAugust 6, 2001, presidential daily briefing entitled Bin Laden determined to strike in US. PBD indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York.\n\nhttp://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/04/10/august6.memo/\n\nIn late July 2001, Egyptian intelligence received a report from an undercover agent in Afghanistan that "20 al-Qaeda members had slipped into the US and four of them had received flight training on Cessnas." They passed on the message to the CIA, fully expecting Washington to request information.\n\nhttp://dc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/102347/index.php\n\nDennis Hastert, Speaker of the House, and several other members of Congress refused to meet with FBI agents who wanted to tell what they knew about a planned terrorist attack on lower Manhattan. John Ashcroft's Dept. of Justice intervened. David Schippers, Chicago attorney and previous Clinton impeachment investigator, called several members of Congress (including Hastert) begging them to take testimony from the FBI agents before the terrorist act occurred. The agents were later threatened with prosecution by the DOJ if they went public with what they knew. \n\nSource-9/11 Commission Report\n\nOn the morning of 9/11, Sen. Bob Graham (head of Senate Intelligence Committee) and Rep. Porter Goss (head of House Intelligence Committee) had breakfast with General Mahmoud Ahmad, head of Pakistani Intelligence, who had earlier directed that $100,000 be wired to Mohamad Atta, terrorist ringleader. \n\nhttp://baltimorechronicle.com/media3_oct02.html\n\nWhat I'm saying is that although I don't believe he had a hand in it, he and his administration didn't try very hard to stop it, either.\n\nBy the way, I like your screen name. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like you're searching for the "truth", only spreading hatred.

Good point.  If I were a liberal, I would have just told the U.S. to "MIND THEIR BUSINESS!", Like they are doing now.\n\n\n-------\n\ndon't you people understand?  the question is a parallel to what Saddam has done.  The liberals are saying things, like, "we should mind our business", and "quit sticking our nose in other countries affairs"

First of all, we where enforcing the UN Resolution 1441 that the liberals so believe in.   We went into that country to rid it of WMD's, that we are finding, and clear it of the trash that was running it.\n\nWe helped them form their OWN government so they can decide what THEY want, not what we want.\n\nThey could never invade us, however the terrorist who was in Iraq DID and I assume you didn't mind that so much.. we probably deserved it?\n\nAddition:\nIraq WAS developing WMD's, even your president said he was.\n\nUN Resolution 1441 gave us the reason we needed to go in and rid the world of this dictatorship.   I don't think we ever said he had anything to do DIRECTLY with 9/11/2001 except maybe supply training camps for terrorist.   \n\nDaddy did not finish the war because he decided to listen to wimpy Liberals.  If he had finished it, we wouldn't be there now losing more and more of our men.  If we would have done it then, the 9/11 issue would not be attempted here....

I don't think that liberals think that Isreal caused 9/11-- I don't know where you came up with that idea.  \n\nI'm not sure on Bush.  I don't think that all liberal people blame Bush for the tragedy.  I'm fairly liberal and I don't blame him for that.  It's sad that it happened, but I don't think that he could have prevented it.

You're listening to the vocal liberals here.  (Ain't freedom grand?)\n\nCan you imagine the noise they would have made after June 6, 1944?

September 10th, 2001\n\nKnowing what I do now, I would put together a mass volunteer brigade to phone the companies in the world trade center and explain why the buildings would be closed the next day. I would immediately contact the airports and explain exactly what and who they need to be looking for. Homeland Security would UP the searches! Washington would be notified and put on high alert. The Pentagon would be cleared for security reasons. The families of the people on the dreaded flights would be notified and encouraged to keep their loves ones at home. We would stop the event from happening before they ever had a chance! But we would be prepared in case there were contingency plans were unaware of! September 11th would then be just another ordinary day.

I think, the last thing this country needs, is the destructiveness of another liberal administration.  The security of this country went to hell, as well as the military preparedness under the clinton White house.  The failure of the liberals during those shameful years led up to the problems we have today.  Their failure to respond in kind to the acts of Islamic extremists, gave our enemies the courage to continue their attacks.\n\nIt wasn't until 9/11 and a new administration that we finally showed the world, we had the stones to confront our enemy!\n\nHere we are five years later, defending our actions against our mortal enemy, to the same slim that failed top do their job when the need to defend ourselves was present!  It's time we tell these decadent, irresponsible do-gooders that we know they can't lead, we know they won't follow, so they better just get their sorry butts out of the way!
