You are saying people on this board criticize Obama in that way, Mikes12 was pointing out that the media criticized Bush that way. See the difference?I'm saying people on this board criticize Obama in this very way. Come on don't you think they should at least question his family? Might be way Bush could not get the guy.Didn't bush cut FBI counter terrorism funds by 2/3 after 9/11. He was really out to win the war on "terror".
And no, he didn't cut FBI counter terrorism funds by 2/3 after 9/11. The FBI requested an additional $1.5 billion for counter terrorism over and above what was already budgeted. They only received $500 billion in additional funds. Again, that was $500 billion over and above what they already had. Although to a lefty you probably do see that as a cut, but any sane person realizes that is just silly. Oh, and the Department of Homeland Security was formed shortly after this "cut" to the FBI. Their mission statement begins:
"The mission of the Office will be to develop and coordinate the implementation of a comprehensive national strategy to secure the United States from terrorist threats or attacks. The Office will coordinate the executive branch's efforts to detect, prepare for, prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks within the United States."
But you already knew that....
