Which of these is a failure:
Clinton create Alex Station to get bin Laden.
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.
Clinton developed the nation's first anti-terrorism policy, and appointed the first national coordinator of anti-terrorist initiatives
Clinton created the Hart-Rudman Commission to provide a comprehensive review of national security requirements.
Clinton tried to kill Osama bin Laden and disrupt Al Qaeda through preemptive strikes on two occasions based on actionable intelligence
Clinton proposed comprehensive anti-terrorism legislation in 1996 to address both domestic and foreign terrorism.
Yes, the CIA actions that Clinton authorized against al Queda failed.
Again...shallow ideological black and white thinking to blame Clinton because the CIA missed the target. The kind of thinking that if policies dont result in 100% success..the policies are failures.
So that makes the Clinton comprehensive anti-terrorism policies, including all of the above, a failure? Only to shallow wingnut ideologues like MerClassic and Miniter.
