Redux

Lol....a typical Merc diversionary ploy to get around the facts.

He is an ideologue of your persuasion who doesn't trump the facts that TW noted.

Clinton create Alex Station to get bin Laden -- Bush disbanded Alex Station

Clinton moved the CounterTerrorism Security Group up to cabinet level because he regarded the threat so serious. Clinton had all cabinet officers (senior officials) participate in terrorist simulations to prepare for possible terrorist attacks -- Bush moved the CounterTerrorism Security group out of the White House and ignored the warning memo from Clarke (and Bush's Anti-Terrorism Task Force chaired by Cheney did not meet until AFTER 9/11)

and more:

Clinton developed the nation's first anti-terrorism policy, and appointed the first national coordinator of anti-terrorist initiatives -- Bush's top national security policy in his first nine months in office was restoring Reagan's missile defense system.

Clinton created the Hart-Rudman Commission to provide a comprehensive review of national security requirements -- the Republican Congress at the time put it on the back burner, where it stayed when Bush took office.

Clinton tried to kill Osama bin Laden and disrupt Al Qaeda through preemptive strikes on two occasions based on actionable intelligence -- both were denounced by the Republican Congress at the time.

After the Oklahoma City bombing, Clinton proposed comprehensive anti-terrorism legislation in 1996 to address both domestic and foreign terrorism, including expanded wiretapping - it was watered down by the Republican Congress who complained that it infringed on rights to privacy.

and the final piece:

The August 6, 2001 PDB:

Another example, in the addition to the Jan 01 memo from Clarke, on which the Bush administration did not act. Rice said it was old news.

Was any of the above in Miniter's book?
