    That was only possible because Bush executed his official powers and ordered a Military Strike on Afghanistan. The Commander in Chief made the call to the Sec of Defense and then from there it went down to the 4 Star Generals and Admirals who head their military counter parts and from there they got deployed. Because Bush executed an executive order to deploy troops and put out a swift order CENTCOM which deployed any troops and Naval Ships in that Area of Responsibility or AOR. Which is why we have AOR's and commanders of such.

    LOL Department of Defense had everything to do with 9/11 or have you forgotten that most of the Intelligence Community is ran under the US Department of Defense? You defund that then you defund programs put into place. you are nothing but a Clinton Lover and an apologist for his in actions. I guess while he was getting his dick sucked by several women besides his wife Al Quaeda was happily planning the successful attack on the US on 9/11. I guess that was a big dick slap on the face to Clinton. Oh well to hell with people who think like you do. People like you is the reason we are here in this state of war. I still hold fast to my beliefs that Clinton was responsible, and he should be held accountable for his inability to get bin laden when we knew where he was and what not. He could have done a lot more then he did in his 8 years then Bush could have done in 8 months in office. Can you plan a successful military attack on a target in under 8 months time? Thats right I dont think you can. You do not understand the process it takes to get Military Support, Funding for that Support, and a a thought out plan to thoroughly execute the plan. 9/11 was clintons fault not bushes.

    Don't call me fucking names you fucking dipshit. Under Clinton's term I was still in middle and high school. I knew something like 9/11 was going to happen, because we as a fucking nation was becoming grossly arrogant just like you have demonstrated in your post here. We were to soft and cozy sitting under a president who underfunded the Department of Defense. What more needs to happen to the US before a president decides to take action. We had several hundred innocent marines killed due to Al Quaeda activities aboard, we knew an attack was pending from Al Quaeda as is evident in the 9/11 Commission Report where it states that Clinton's legal advisers told him not to attack bin laden when we knew exactly where he was and when. We were closer to him under CLinton then we were under Bush's first term, and because of all the whistleblowing people have done Bin Laden has continued to hide from capture. Clinton should have done a lot more then he did so under his Term then 9/11 wouldn't have happened. I hold Clinton 100% Accountable for the actions of 9/11. Had we had a president who had balls to stand up and something drastic. During the Balkans we didn't have a lot of military over there, and hell we could have deployed Special Ops Teams to go there and do the dirty work. But no Janet Reno wouldn't have it there would have been way to much collateral damage. I dont give a shit what you and other liberals think Clinton allowed 9/11 to happened, and you and other liberals just like to use Bush as a scapegoat so Clinton continues to hold his Almighty Good Presidency Halo. Bull shit, he was a mistake and a grave one as shown on 9/11. 9 months is not a lot of time to plan for anything. Hell he was still being briefed and transitioned into his presidency in that 9 months. So please go spout your anti-bushisms someplace else.

    Had Clinton exercised his executive office in such a manner as to attack and take collateral damage 9/11 wouldn't have happened.

    You're right. Except, of course, for the part where Clinton did attack, and got zero support from Republicans, who downplayed the danger of Al Qaeda and claimed this was a side show to distract the nation from the Lewinsky affair.

    Don't pretend that Clinton was reponsible for 9/11, because the Republicans at the time were not screaming for Bin Laden's head either. It's bullshit to act like they were. Bush took office 9 months before 9/11 and did nothing to try to get Bin Laden!

    9 months is less time then 8 years to do something. Clinton had 8 years to issue an executive order to go get Bin Laden and attack. His legal advisers Mr oops Mrs Janet Reno failed to sign such an order and thought it would be suicide for Clinton to such a thing. We had 8 years under Clinton by the time bush took office everything was set in stone and in the advanced planning stages of the attack. So dont give me that lame liberalistic view that Bush had 9 months to do anything about Bin Laden. 9 months isn't a lot of time to do anything. Bin Laden should have been dead after the first attempt in 1993 to bring down the World Trade Centers. We knew then and did nothing, so go bark up another tree. Guess you posted under the right name.

    I run my computer with an account that has administrative rights, because quite frankly i get tired of switching accounts to do updates on hardware and software. I use McAfee Security Center, McAfee Site Advisor, and Spyware Tools. The most annoying things I get are tracking cookies, and I do a lot of research on suspicious and possibly malicious files I see here at work at home. Most of the time the download of the executeables fail, and sometimes they do download but do not install so I can send them to virus total.

    It basically boils down to intelligently using your computer to stay away from getting infected with sort of malware. Also it takes smart browsing practices, and not opening up attachments from people who you do not know, and double checking with people who you know that has sent you something. Hell, I dont even bloat my firefox up with un-needed applications like adblock, flashblock, no script, and others. I tried them, and found them to be more annoying then anything so I removed them. Instead I add the offending domain to my hosts file. Does a much better job, and keeps my FF nice and clean and free of bloatedness.
