DEMOCRATS, THIS IS YOUR NOMINEE
"When Bill Clinton left office, not one young American was dying in war anywhere in this world,’ Kerry said. --Associated Press, May 13, 2004
True. Unless you count the USS Cole, which was attacked on October 12, 2000. Seventeen young Americans died in that attack.
Or the Khobar Towers building, which was attacked on June 25, 1996. Nineteen young Americans died in that attack.
Or Mogadishu, 1993. Eighteen Americans died that day.
Besides being an outright lie, what the hell is Kerry's point? That even though we were allowing our young men and women to die at the hands of terrorists, we weren't "at war" so therefore somehow Clinton was a better President?
While Clinton was President, terrorists roamed free and a few of them were preparing to kill 3,000 Americans. A few others were studying up biochem weapons in Afghan camps, unmolested by the US military. A young American named Jose Padilla was pitching his plan to scout for a dirty bomb attack on US soil. Osama bin Laden was trying to get his hands on a suitcase nuke. While Clinton diddled, the terrorists plotted.
Kerry didn't mention that for some reason.
