I have often wondered what the world might look might today had Bush not stolen the 2000 election, and Al Gore had become President.  I would hope that he would not have ignored the security briefing that Al Qaeda wanted to attack the US using hijacked airliners, and would have prevented the tragedy.  Imagine a world where 911 had not happened.  Willard wants us to believe in a world where terrorism would hot happen, because respect for his leadership.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"15Willard\"A top foreign policy aide to Mitt Romney suggested Thursday that the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens would never have happened if Romney were president<\/strong>. There wouldn’t even be anti-American protests in the Middle East if Romney were in charge<\/strong>, the aide said.<\/p>\n

“There’s a pretty compelling story that if you had a President Romney, you’d be in a different situation,” Romney adviser Richard Williamson told the Washington Post<\/a>. “For the first time since Jimmy Carter, we’ve had an American ambassador assassinated.”<\/p>\n

He blamed the attack that killed Stevens on Obama’s handling of the region, arguing that the Muslim world would have held the hypothetical Romney administration of 2008-2012 in much greater esteem, which would have prevented violent protests over an anti-Muslim film like the one that led to Stevens’s death.<\/p>\n

“In Egypt and Libya and Yemen, again demonstrations — the respect for America has gone down, there’s not a sense of American resolve and we can’t even protect sovereign American property,” he said.<\/p>\n

Williamson served as an official under President George W. Bush<\/strong>. Numerous deadly attacks on diplomatic compounds in countries like Pakistan, Yemen and Syria took place during the Bush administration<\/strong>. When countries around the world were engulfed in protests over Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad, the Bush administration condemned the material as “unacceptable” even as it repeated the United States’s dedication to free speech<\/strong>…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wow!  You can use that to fertilize your veggies.  Williamson must have earned a PhD in Bullshitology!  Isn’t the way respect for GW prevented 9\/11 wonderful?  Rachel Maddow explored the absurdity of the InsaniTEA.<\/font><\/p>\n
