Response to letter to the Editor in the stuart news today:

Republicans had big majorities in the House and Senate from 1995 to 2007, and a Repub prez for 6 of those years. Dems did not take control of the House till 2007. They still do not have 60 votes in the Senate. Bush/Cheney had 7 months and 23 days to prevent the 9-11 attacks, which destroyed a third of our economy, I remember David Gergen saying. Richard Clark had been appointed by Ronald Reagan, and tried repeatedly to warn Bush/Cheney. Bush/Cheney stopped Clinton's program of following Osama and other terrorists with the spy drones. They cut Clinton's anti-terrorist funding dramatically. The order went out to all commanders of our military air bases, that they had to get approval from Rummy to respond to a wayward plane, like one did to Payne Stewart's. They did not investigate 9-11 at all, and ordered FEMA to haul away the evidence and make it disappear. Then they invaded Iraq, whose Trillion $$ cost they kept "off-budget". 4,343 Americans have died, over 13,000 have been grievously wounded, and taxpayers will be paying for their lifetime care. They're the ones who lost their freedoms, as did the 3000 Americans who were murdered on 9-11, when Repubs had completely taken over our government.
