Karl Rove says Liberals are soft on Terrorists?
Well, then what about his own president?
C. William Boyer
Speaking to the Conservative Party of New York State on Wednesday night, Karl Rove said: "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."
Well, actually, Democrats wanted our attackers apprehended. In the days following 9-11, the Democrats, liberal and centrist alike, voted in tandem with Republicans in the Senate to deliver a 98-0 mandate to President Bush to bring Osama Bin Laden and the others responsible for this horrible act to justice.
The person, apparently, who didn't feel the same sense of urgency was none other than President George W. Bush (President Chicken Hawk to his friends) who said:
"I don't know where [Osama Bid Laden] is.You know, I just don't spend that much time on him... I truly am not that concerned about him." [President Bush, Press Conference, March 13, 2002]
So much different than his speech before a joint session of Congress on September 17, 2001 in the haunting days that followed 9-11:
"I want justice. And there's an old poster out west, that I recall, that said, ``Wanted, Dead or Alive.''
