REPUBLICANS BLOCKED CLINTON ANTI-TERRORISM MEASURES

AmericaBlog is reminding readers that Congressional Republicans in 1996 blocked measures proposed by Bill Clinton to fight terrorism.

The post below quotes an October 2003 article by William River Pitts which listed some of the measures attempted or taken by The Big Dog as he practically begged the Congress and the nation to wake up to the terrorist threat, most of which were either sabotaged or mocked by Republicans.

So when you hear the familiar accusations that Bush is tough on terrorism and Clinton is to blame for 9/11, recount the facts, not the myth.
