Okay, so I was trying to delete a stupid comment left by some spammer and accidentally deleted my original post from this morning. Arrrrg. Oh well.

This article was an enjoyable read as I drank my coffee this morning. Tony is not afraid to set the matter straight. He is one of the best decisions the current administration has made all year.

“In the previous administration, we had an attack on the World Trade Center, on Khobar Towers,” he said. “We had attacks on both embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, an attack on the USS Cole.

“Also, Osama bin Laden in February of 1998 made it clear that he not only intended to wage war on the United States, but he wanted to use Iraq as a central battleground,” he said.

“In short, there was a gathering threat. In those years, bin Laden noticed that the United States had, in fact, been cutting back dramatically on intelligence assets and on military assets.”

Prior to that part of the article, Tony describes exactly what kind of military and intelligence was left after Clinton left office:

White House press secretary Tony Snow told reporters that Clinton spent his presidency “dramatically” slashing military and intelligence assets that are vital to fighting global terrorism.

“Even with the buildup since September 11th, we are only now beginning to achieve the same sort of levels that we had — in terms of intelligence assets — that we had at the beginning of the Clinton administration,” Snow said.

Clinton is a liar and wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped him upside the head. Tony, on the other hand, it full of integrity and is not afraid to tell it like it is.

Why not run Tony for president in ‘08?
