Wow. These guys really DON'T do nuance!
From RawStory:
An unsubtle new ad released today by the Republican National Committee features fleeting video of Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and other terrorist imagery.
Entitled "The Stakes," the ad also highlights snippets of statements–one over eight years old–from the two al-Qaeda leaders, both still at large. Certain menacing phrases are repeated twice (e.g., "kill the Americans," "suitcase bombs") to reinforce the message.
A ticking sound reminiscent of a bomb timer grows progressively louder until the last repeated phrase ("What is yet to come will be even greater") is shown, followed by the sound of a beating heart, fleeting images of explosions and terrorists in training, and ending with the message "These Are The Stakes. Vote Nov. 7."
The video can be found at http://www.gop.com/Media/RNC1019_ext.swf.
By the time 9/11 happened, Bush had only been in the White House for 8-months. Clinton, on the otherhand, had been in the White House for 8-years, plus got a blowjob. Therefore, Clinton is approximately 91% responsible, and poor "W" only 9% responsible.
Difficult, then, given that this WaPo/CNN poll has somewhat of a different reckoning by America's citizens. In the years since 9/11, the percentage of Americans who blame Bush for 9/11 has gone from 33% to almost half. Kind of explains the urgency and timing of getting this (Path to 9/11) out there prior to the midterm elections, eh?
