George W. Supports Terrorism
George W. claims to be a champion of freedom and a harbinger of democracy, however the facts tell a different story.
In September of 2001, as we all know, al Queda (supposedly) attacked the USA. We all know the alleged details.
Later that year, GW Bush sent 11,000 troops to Afghanistan, where al Queda was based, and where the leader, Osama bin Laden, was supposedly hiding out. 11,000 troops. To search an entire country. I think Michael Moore made the best comparison to the level of force there: there are more police officers on the ground in NYC at any one time than there were troops on the ground in Afghanastan to fight the "War on Terror."
So, far from giving his all, GW sent less than 10% of our troops to fight this "War on Terror."
During the next few months, the Bush administration spent many hours and undoubtedly many dollars, convincing the American public that it wasn't Osama who was important, but it was that terrorist harboring, WMD having, civilian killing dictator, Sadaam Hussein who we should be afraid of. And it worked. Most of America was tricked into believing that Iraq was central in the war on terror. We find out now that it was all a lie. We also find out that destabilizing Iraq had very detrimental effects to our war on terror. Mainly, it gave the rest of the Middle East reason to be afraid of us: we attack sovern nations who have nothing to do with our problems. Additionally, it gave al Queda the opportunity to recruit from within Iraq; something they hadn't been able to do while Hussein was in power. And now, GW admittedly isn't even looking for Osama.
So what have we got now? We've got a very strong al Queda presence. We've got a whole country of angry civilians (rightfully so) who are flocking to al Quedas' ranks as fast as they can say "Jihad!"
What's happened recently? Well, just this week, Bush lifted trade embargos from Libya. Why is that important? Mummar Ghadafi harbors terrorists! He admits to it. Why is GW freeing up $1.3m for terrorists? He must support terrorism.
The largest domestic terrorist attack in US history happened under GWs' watch.
GW doesn't go after the perpetrators.
GW supports known terrorists.
