Now we all know it wasn't because the book is about the Clinton administration failing to respond to bin Laden, NOT Bush's failure. Why do you keep bringing Bush into this?
If you actually read any of it, it details the multiple times which the Clinton Administration had opportunities and failed to respond. In fact, it was right around the time when Clinton was being impeached, dealing with multiple lawsuits for illegal campaign contributions, perjury, witness tampering, obstructions of justice, and sexual harassment.
The book further states that on at least five separate occasions the Clinton Administration dating back to 1996. Additionally, the then Director of the CIA notified the administration that they were basically already in a state of war as early as 1998, but Clinton was too busy to deal with this issue as he had more pressing problems with all the lawsuits against him.

I'm not saying that Bush didn't fail, but again, to imply that Clinton didn't fail as well is simply not accurate. Otherwise we would have gotten him.

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.

Because George Jr is the only president in history to all but protect bin Laden. To avoid that reality, an extremist must post falsehoods and accusations. Otherwise an extremist must admit to being wrong again. Extremism means everyone else is a liberal. Reality be damned.

What did classicman refuse to ask when George Jr was president? When do we go after bin Laden.
