Who would you vote for, GW Bush or Obama
-
under president bush the authorization to torture prisoners was granted as well as constitution burning ideas like homeland security. not to mention the unethical no-bid contract awarding to halliberton for military projects, many of which were complete failures.
bush administration victories, no doubt.

over the last 25 years gold hasn't held a candle to silver. With inflation figured in, gold has actually dropped in value over the last quarter century.

With inflation figured in, gold has actually dropped in value over the last quarter century.I couldn't find a 25 year chart of each so I had to piece on together for each. All charts for each given commodity are from the same site....though I couldn't find a single site that had both of them listed together...it should be damn close though.

Looks to me like silver bottomed out at about $4/oz and Gold at about $275/oz....Silver rose to ~$12 whereas gold briefly topped $1000.
So, Silver rose 300% and gold rose 363%
If you have a better source than me Heath, please post it. This is not a witch hunt...however I do like as factual of info as I can get.

Uh, 1993 World Trade Center bombing?Damn you're an idiot.
I completely missed John saying that or I would have brought it up....however under clinton there was one failed attempt and no further attempts until Bush took office....then there was one successful event and then no further attempts...until Obama takes office....until whoever else takes office. So basically Clinton was as successful as Bush at preventing future attempts.

True...forgot about that one, though I find it hard to believe we will go to war with ourselves because some nutjobs from here decided to harm their own country by blowing up a building. Hard to pin that one on Al Qaeda.
-
What about the other attacks against Clinton he really did nothing about?
1998 Attacks on embassies in Kenya and Tanzania as well as the 2000 attack on the USS Cole....

Being more aware that there are people that want to end what we have and having a plan to stop it before it happens. We have declared "war" on terror..vs just treating it like a police action.

Do you want us to go find them? Or just have them fly to our doorstep AGAIN and potentially kill another couple thousand of Americans.
Also, nobody mentioned the attack on the Khobar Towers.
