Blame the Republicans, not the Democrats
Dear Editor (The Olympian)
Republican political attacks on Democrats during last week’s terror threat were outrageous.
Let’s not forget that 9/11 happened on Bush’s watch, that the CIA went to Crawford while the president was on vacation to discuss the reports that Al Qaeda was about to attack, and was told “all right, you’ve covered your ass now”. They have just disbanded the special Bin Laden unit.
The 9/11 commissioners said Iraq is distracting from security at home and the Republican Congress hasn’t followed through on their recommendations. We still don’t check baggage in the cargo hold of planes and only 5% of cargo ships are being checked. Katrina showed that we’re not safe.
Iraq has inflamed the whole Middle East and is attracting new Al Qaeda recruits.
