Bush Beats Clinton Any Day of the Week

From CounterSpin:

LET'S LOOK AT THE TOTE BOARD: Total number of Americans killed by Islamic terrorists during the entire 8 years of Bill Clinton's Presidency: 54.

These were from the first World trade Center attack, in which 6 were killed

The Khobar Towers attack, which resulted in the deaths of 19 U.S. service members.

The African Embassy bombings that killed 12 Americans.

And, of course, the attack on the U.S.S. Cole, killing 17 sailors.

Total number of Americans killed on George W. Bush's watch? Well over 1500. Probably closer to 2000. Not everyone who died in the WTC, for examle, were U.S. citizens. In fact, a significant percentage weren't.

In any event, it's pretty clear that the death toll for Americans on that day dwarfed the entire total for Bill Clinton's Presidency.

That's true even if you count the 200 citizens of other countries killed in the African Embassy bombings and the 150 or so who died in the domestic terrorism of Oklahoma City.

In fact, more of our citizens have been killed in IRAQ than died through either war, or terrorism during Bill Clinton's entire 8 years in office.
