Clinton had all cabinet officers (senior officials) participate in terrorist simulations to prepare for possible terrorist attacks. Clinton responded to terrorist warnings so that Deana Dean's discovered the LAX airport bomb. Then averted terrorist attacks known or suspected in Toronto, out of Brooklyn NY, Amman Jordan, and Egypt.
George Jr stopped the 10th Mountain Division from going after bin Laden in Tora Bora. Halted special forces operations that would use the same trail that bin Laden eventually escaped on. Disbanded Alec Station because good politics needed bin Laden alive. Surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban. Moved the CounterTerrorism Security group out of the White House. Would not conduct any high level meeting on terrorism even when “all alarms were flashing red” for weeks. Demoted the CSG to a lower level because terrorism was not considered a threat. Condi Rice (National Security Adviser) is specifically cited for wanting this demotion. Ignored the memo on his desk that warned of 11 September. Did not stop even one domestic terrorist attack. Made zero decisions all day on 11 September. Used torture so often that no useful intelligence was obtained from captured al Qaeda operatives (ie Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was tortured at least 183 times.)
It’s all Clinton's fault. Limbaugh tells neocon extremists to say that. It's Clinton's fault because George Jr all but protected bin Laden.
"When were we going after bin Laden"? Neocons refused to discuss it. Otherwise they must admit to being extremist.
