Looking at you.
I am one of those who give the credit for the US not being attacked to Bush, rather he deserves it or not. The precedent always gets the blame or credit.
That's sort of silly, isn't it. If we were attacked again today, would you still blame Clinton? If not, where is your cut-off date when the blame shifts from the former President to the current?
Your statement also assumes that a terrorist attack(s) was planned (which would be Clinton's fault by your rational) and was prevented by Bush.
Not sure about "millions", but don't you think a young guy who's lost his family and home is an easier recruit for terrorist groups?
Don't you think a young guy who sees "invaders" in his homeland more likely to leave his family and home and join up with a terrorist group who claim they're fighting we repel the invaders?

I love how some people seem to think Bush single handedly ceased terrorism as though there was never any military generals or C.I.A. operatives involved. Bush is just the face man. Any President will get the same attention; praise or blame.
Yet he bears the blame any time something negative happens. While obviously it's not all his doing, his policies surely were a huge impact, no?

This is disgraceful. How is it that trash like this is still finding it's way on the General Discussion forum? Take this trivial crap elsewhere,people, like the off topic forum. The General Discussion forum is reserved for important and relevant issues, like the Biggie and 2pac beef.

Looking at you.
There is no rationalization, and Clinton does share some of the responsibility. However, things changed on 9-11. Before 9-11 it was appropriate to treat the terrorists like criminals, but after, it required a different tact. Bush gets the credit for the out come of that tact. If the US was attacked today, then Bush would get the blame.
There is a bear in the city and it eventually gets captured. Homer pushes all he can to get an anti-bear strike team which includes a fighter jet and all.
In a discussion Lisa points out there never was a bear prior to the recent event, she says that his actions won't attract/distract bears for the reason that bears are extremely rare and such and points out that the little rock she's holding is repelling tigers. Homer asks how she knows this to which she replies it doesn't: it's just a rock but you don't see any tigers around.
In the end Homer bus the rock, btw.
