Pataki: Democrats didn't Respond to Terror Threat

[NewHampshireDem]

Notice again the attempt to connect 9/11 to Iraq ... sheesh ... how stupid are these people?

New York Gov. George Pataki urged supporters Saturday to back President Bush's re-election by saying Democrats' failure to respond to previous acts of terrorism led the way to the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

Pataki criticized the Clinton administration for not properly responding to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, attacks on U.S. embassies in Africa, the bombing of the USS Cole and an attack on a U.S. military barracks in Saudi Arabia.

"We cannot forgot these lessons. Thank God that on Sept. 11, George W. Bush was the president of America," Pataki told hundreds gathered at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference on Saturday night.

He also lashed out at critics who said no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq _ one of the arguments Bush made for going to war.

"Saddam Hussein, an evil dictator who killed tens of thousands of his own people, was himself a weapon of mass destruction against the people of Iraq and against the civilized people of the world," Pataki said.

"On Sept. 11, a weapon of mass destruction was a simple box cutter that was used to carry out the attacks that killed thousands of my friends and neighbors and co-workers," he said.

5. Is this a joke?

Bush let 3,000 people die to further his cause, then made jokes about it (911) being his lucky day and now he deserves our votes cause it's Clinton's fault. Wow, that takes chutzpah.
