How 9/11 Happened (Ann Coulter Hits A Home Run!!!)

[goldstategop]

We don't need a "commission" to find out how 9-11 happened. The truth is in the timeline:

PRESIDENT CARTER, DEMOCRAT

In 1979, President Jimmy Carter allowed the Shah of Iran to be deposed by a mob of Islamic fanatics. A few months later, Muslims stormed the U.S. Embassy in Iran and took American Embassy staff hostage.

Carter retaliated by canceling Iranian visas. He eventually ordered a disastrous and humiliating rescue attempt, crashing helicopters in the desert.

PRESIDENT REAGAN, REPUBLICAN

The day of Reagan's inauguration, the hostages were released.

In 1982, the U.S. Embassy in Beirut was bombed by Muslim extremists.

President Reagan sent U.S. Marines to Beirut.

In 1983, the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut were blown up by Muslim extremists.

Reagan said the U.S. would not surrender, but Democrats threw a hissy fit, introducing a resolution demanding that our troops be withdrawn. Reagan caved in to Democrat caterwauling in an election year and withdrew our troops – bombing Syrian-controlled areas on the way out. Democrats complained about that, too.

In 1985, an Italian cruise ship, the Achille Lauro, was seized and a 69-year-old American was shot and thrown overboard by Muslim extremists.

Reagan ordered a heart-stopping mission to capture the hijackers after "the allies" promised them safe passage. In a daring operation, American fighter pilots captured the hijackers and turned them over to the Italians – who then released them to safe harbor in Iraq.

On April 5, 1986, a West Berlin discotheque frequented by U.S. servicemen was bombed by Muslim extremists from the Libyan Embassy in East Berlin, killing an American.

Ten days later, Reagan bombed Libya, despite our dear ally France refusing the use of their airspace. Americans bombed Gadhafi's residence, killing his daughter, and dropped a bomb on the French Embassy "by mistake."

Reagan also stoked a long, bloody war between heinous regimes in Iran and Iraq. All this was while winning a final victory over Soviet totalitarianism.

PRESIDENT BUSH I, MODERATE REPUBLICAN

In December 1988, a passenger jet, Pan Am Flight 103, was bombed over Lockerbie, Scotland, by Muslim extremists.

President-elect George Bush claimed he would continue Reagan's policy of retaliating against terrorism, but did not. Without Reagan to gin her up, even Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher went wobbly, saying there would be no revenge for the bombing.

In 1990, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait.

In early 1991, Bush went to war with Iraq. A majority of Democrats opposed the war, and later complained that Bush didn't "finish off the job" with Saddam.

PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON, DEMOCRAT

In February 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed by Muslim fanatics, killing five people and injuring hundreds.

Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing.

In October 1993, 18 American troops were killed in a savage firefight in Somalia. The body of one American was dragged through the streets of Mogadishu as the Somalian hordes cheered.

Clinton responded by calling off the hunt for Mohammed Farrah Aidid and ordering our troops home. Osama bin Laden later told ABC News: "The youth ... realized more than before that the American soldier was a paper tiger and after a few blows ran in defeat."

In November 1995, five Americans were killed and 30 wounded by a car bomb in Saudi Arabia set by Muslim extremists.

Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing.

In June 1996, a U.S. Air Force housing complex in Saudi Arabia was bombed by Muslim extremists.

Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing.

Months later, Saddam attacked the Kurdish-controlled city of Erbil.

Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, lobbed some bombs into Iraq hundreds of miles from Saddam's forces.

In November 1997, Iraq refused to allow U.N. weapons inspections to do their jobs and threatened to shoot down a U.S. U-2 spy plane.

Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing.

In February 1998, Clinton threatened to bomb Iraq, but called it off when the United Nations said no.

On Aug. 7, 1998, U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim extremists.

Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing.

On Aug. 20, Monica Lewinsky appeared for the second time to testify before the grand jury.

Clinton responded by bombing Afghanistan and Sudan, severely damaging a camel and an aspirin factory.

On Dec. 16, the House of Representatives prepared to impeach Clinton the next day.

Clinton retaliated by ordering major air strikes against Iraq, described by the New York Times as "by far the largest military action in Iraq since the end of the Gulf War in 1991."

The only time Clinton decided to go to war with anyone in the vicinity of Muslim fanatics was in 1999 – when Clinton attacked Serbians who were fighting Islamic fanatics.

In October 2000, our warship, the USS Cole, was attacked by Muslim extremists.

Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing.

PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH, REPUBLICAN

Bush came into office telling his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, he was "tired of swatting flies" – he wanted to eliminate al-Qaida.

On Sept. 11, 2001, when Bush had been in office for barely seven months, 3,000 Americans were murdered in a savage terrorist attack on U.S. soil by Muslim extremists.

Since then, Bush has won two wars against countries that harbored Muslim fanatics, captured Saddam Hussein, immobilized Osama bin Laden, destroyed al-Qaida's base, and begun to create the only functioning democracy in the Middle East other than Israel. Democrats opposed it all – except their phony support for war with Afghanistan, which they immediately complained about and said would be a Vietnam quagmire. And now they claim to be outraged that in the months before 9-11, Bush did not do everything Democrats opposed doing after 9-11.

What a surprise.

[goldstategop]

What a surprise.

For decades the Seinfeld Democrats have opposed doing anything to America's enemies on the grounds they would come here. And they have and when President Bush The Younger finally did something about it, they have the chutzpah to be outraged he finally acted. That's their real beef with the President. Gee, what a surprise. Ann as usual, hits a home run in the ballpark!!!

Ann is a national treasure (imagine loving a woman who looks like that for her mind).

[Mr. Silverback]

Excellent as usual.

BUMP!

[steve in DC]

Appeasment is a bet that the alligator will eat you last!

[jwalsh07]

Excellent but she left this out:
In 1996 Usama bin Laden declared war on America. Congress did nothing.

In 1999 Usama bin Laden issued a Fatwah against America. Congress did nothing.

[Old Grumpy]

Ann sure tells it like it really IS.

That's what drives the Left mad. She call them on their own hypocrisy.

[Jinjelsnaps]

Here's the liberal response to this one:

"ummm...ummm...Bush Knew!!!!...ummm...ummm...Bush is a Nazi!!!....ummm...ummm...Bush is a...dumby-head."

I especially like that she said (paraphrasing): "Clinton wanted to bomb Iraq, but the UN said no so he didn't." Who in their right (no pun intended) mind would want that kind of "leadership" in a president???

[presidio9]

1998, Sudan offers OBL to President Clinton.

What advice did Mr. Clarke give to the President???

[Old Grumpy]

And they bad-mouth her as much as they do Bush!

[BunnySlippers]

Truth bump ...

Reagan caved in to Democrat caterwauling in an election year and withdrew our troops ? bombing Syrian-controlled areas on the way out. Democrats complained about that, too.

I'd like to know more about this, especially about the "resolution". Was it passed?

[Spruce]

"We've done our part. And as I walk off into the city streets, a final word to the men and women of the Reagan revolution, the men and women across America who for 8 years did the work that brought America back. My friends: We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger, we made the city freer, and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all."

What about the 1993 WTC bombing?

[familyofman]

"Bush came into office telling his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, he was "tired of swatting flies" – he wanted to eliminate al-Qaida."

Nice & tough rhetoric, but has al-Quida been eliminated yet? It has morphed now that a lot of it's original leaders have been captured or killed. They lost their safe haven in Afghanistan. But, I can't realy say they have been eliminated.

The fight has been engaged - and we still have a long way to go before al-Quida is erased from the face of the earth.

[jwalsh07]

2000, Clinton pardons 16 cop killing FALN terrorists.

Which obviously acted as a detterent to other terroists.

[jwalsh07]

He also told Ms Rice that the battle with Al Qa'ida would take many years. He was right about both.

[CyberAnt]

This is the kind of great handout we can use when we're getting close to election. Printed up with a nice heading of American flags would be good.

[annyokie]

Imagine her handing you your *ss for failing to please her.

[Gritty]

Ann, being nasty to the poor, misunderstood Left once again!

[BlessedByLiberty]

...Who in their right (no pun intended) mind would want that kind of "leadership" in a president???...

Ah, democrats?

[TexasCajun]

It's too bad Ann couldn't have told Stuart Smalley this today, in person & for real!

[Dacus943]

I love that picture of Ann!

Ann Coulter always manages to put current events in a proper perspective. All the while looking great!

[Focault's Pendulum]

(imagine loving a woman who looks like that for her mind).

I can only imagine that the foreplay would be done in words of three or more syllables.

Don't bother me right now....I'm busy buying a Thesaurus.

[familyofman]

Driving forward while looking in the rear view mirror is very dangerous indeed. The important things in the battle are still in front of us. Re-hashing the mistakes of the past might make you feel better about trashing political opponents. But, we as Americans need to pull together - drop the blame game and finger pointing. We can't change what has gone before (learn from it yes), but we need to be spending more time looking for solutions in the future.

[CyberAnt]

I heard the new Air America was doing that very thing on their first day.

Looks like you forgot to put...

Ann, being nasty to the poor, misunderstood B*A*S*T*A*R*D*S on the Left once again!

[mtbopfuyn]

How can half the nation be Dimwits?

[Missouri]

I love that picture of Ann!

When I did a Google search to find a picture of Ann I saw less flattering pictures of her promoted by the Left-wing scum. I guess their favorite is to pick someone they don't like and put a swastika on them.

[CyberAnt]

"yet"

There were probably 50,000 of them when we started - and we've eliminated 2/3 of them by death or jail. Isn't that good enough for you ..??

And .. because we haven't gotten them all yet - do you think we should stop ..??

[FreedomCalls]

[jwalsh07]

Foolishness, those who ignore history are bound to repeat it.

To ignore the mistakes made in the past 25 years vis a vis jihadism is just loony tunes.

[Buffettbassman]

No.Not until evey last one is dead or captured! you're exactly right. No stone unturned...no matter where it takes us, no matter how long it takes.

[FreedomCalls]

[goldstategop]

The cartoon captures perfectly everything Ann meant to say about the Seinfeld Democrats. You see, when it comes to national security, the only thing they want to do at any given time is *nothing.*

[Nasty McPhilthy]

Take a look at this piece done way back in ’98. Although I take issue with the comments regarding “Lock-Step Republicans, I think that it is a very accurate description of the direction the Dem-witts have “guided” us towards.

Great work. Thanks for the post.
