There’s a big article about blogging in the current VANITY FAIR. VF being a very liberal publication, the article praises leading liberal weblogs. So I thought I’d check them out. See if they’re saying things that those on the right may be missing.
First up is the Daily Kos. While the name is very well-known to me, I’d never read it. Today he’s all about boosting this Richard Clarke charge that the Bush administration has done little on terrorism before or after 9-11:
The folks over at the Center for American Progress have put together a damning timeline, built upon official government memos, that paints the utter failure of this administration to take effective action against al Qaeda—even AFTER 9-11.
The “utter failure,” says Kos. So far there’ve been no more terrorist attacks on U.S. soil since 9-11. Yet Kos considers that an utter failure. Isn’t that interesting? Kos doesn’t consider the defense of our people to be a success at all. It’s not even worth mentioning. What exactly would Kos consider a success?
It’s interesting that the Left never defines what it would consider a success, or what it would do to achieve it.
Then there’s the little item that Clinton had 8 years of terrorist attacks on the U.S., and did nothing—yet Kos blames Bush for not dismantling Al Qaeda in the 9 months he was in office prior to 9-11. Rush nails this one:
I mean, for eight years the Clinton administration did nothing…1994 Al-Qaeda plotted to assassinate Pope John Paul II during his visit to Manila; 1995 they plotted to kill President Clinton during a visit to the Philippines; 1995, had a plot to bomb simultaneously in midair a dozen U.S. transpacific flights and it was discovered and thwarted at the last moment.1998 conducted the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania killed at least 301 individuals and injured more than 5,000 others. I forget 1993 that World Trade Center bombing; 1999, another millennium plot, bomber caught en route to LAX, and in 2000, they bombed the USS Cole in the port of Aden in Yemen, killing 17 U.S. Navy members and injuring another 39. So all of those events and more taking place during the eight years of Bill Clinton, and the media today not interested in asking any Clinton administration, that’s appearing on TV about any of that. All they want to know is why didn’t the Bush administration in nine months do anything to stop 9/11? Why weren’t they focused on it? It is to the point here, ladies and gentlemen, of being absurd to the point that everybody can see this!
This has been a fun post. I’ll do some more lib-watching later this week.
