To ignore that Clinton had 8 years to deal with the issue and Bush had been in office 8 months before 9/11 while trying to blame 9/11 on Bush is revisionist history. The 9/11 Commission found that the Clinton administration had as many as four chances to kill or capture bin Laden between December 1998 and July 1999.

Clinton went after Bin Laden in Afghanistan and Sudan in 98; other opportunities did not go forward because the intel was not deemed to be actionable by analysts. Clinton provided a memo to Bush with a sense of urgency to address al Queda and it was ignored for nine months. Clinton created Alec Station to go after Bin Laden and Bush disbanded it and diverted resources to Iraq. |
<sigh> Yup the partisan BS is still alive and well. As you were...

Or the December 2000 Strategy Document for Eliminating al Queda (pdf) Both ignored at the highest levels of the Bush administration for nine months. Memos, strategy documents....facts...are a stubborn thing. |
ok so if Bush ignored if for 8 months then the same is true of Clinton, except it was for 8 YEARS.

Bin Laden was viewed simply as the money man until 1997 by all the intel and not directly involved or leading terrorist acts....and then Clinton authorized a finding for the CIA to take him out..twice...and it failed.....so blame Clinton. He failed. Did you even read the Clarke memo or strategy doc....or did you ignore it like Bush/Rice? |
I ignored it - like I'm trying to do with you.

In the post of a supposed single commo with Rice, the memo merely ends with 4 questions. Not definitive findings about what should be done. Not recommendations on the part of Clarke or the Clinton Administration. So where's Waldo? Clinton was completely consumed with Monica and his legal troubles and could not focus on international terrorism. |
