Exactly who is "soft on terrorism"?

I saw this list today, posted anonymously and later augmented, also by someone anonymous, and it is like the one I have in my head but have never bothered to write down. It is, however, the best argument against the current Republican "Democrats are soft on terror" rhetoric that I have seen, and its creators do want it circulated, so I am putting it here, with a syntax and punctuation clean-up:

It was a Democratic administration that captured and convicted the terrorists who attacked the WTC in 1993.

It was a Democrat who instituted the nation's first anti-terrorism policy, and who appointed the nation's first national coordinator of anti-terrorist efforts.

It was a Democrat who stopped the Al-Qaeda millennium hijacking and bombing plots.

A Democrat who stopped the planned attack to kill the Pope.

A Democrat who stopped the planned attack to blow up 12 U.S. jetliners simultaneously.

A Democrat who stopped the planned attack to blow up Boston airport.

A Democrat who stopped the planned attack to blow up the George Washington Bridge.

A Democrat who tried to kill Osama bin Laden and disrupt Al-Qaeda through preemptive strikes. These efforts were denounced by the G.O.P.

A Democrat who named the Hart-Rudman commission to report on the nature of terrorist threats and major steps to be taken to combat terrorism.

A Democrat who sent legislation to Congress to tighten airport security. The legislation was defeated by the Republicans because of opposition from the airlines.

A Democrat who sent legislation to Congress to allow for better tracking of terrorist funding. It was defeated by Republicans in the Senate because of opposition from banking interests.

But it was a Republican president who flaunted a 30-day vacation at his ranch in the month prior to September 11--a vacation coordinated by Karl Rove to convey a public image of the President as "relaxed, and taking things easy."

It was a Republican administration that drove not one but two anti-terrorism czars to resign in frustration, due to conflicts with the White House.

And it was a Republican National Security Advisor who, prior to September 11, crafted a national security presentation that included mention of the Star Wars missile defense program, Cuba's Fidel Castro, and unaccounted nuclear materials from the former Soviet Union--but no mention at all of Islamic terrorism.

It was a Republican who was put in charge of coordinating all anti terrorists activities, but who held not a single meeting until September 11, 2001.
