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 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. |

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 Stationand 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.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? Last edited by Redux; 02-14-2010 at 06:58 PM. |

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.

Clinton create Alex Station to get bin Laden.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.

Nope...I couldnt get past the first few pages of undocumented and false allegations. I tend to avoid ideological diatribes and stick to publications that are documented and footnoted when the topic is policy related.
I could read it as fiction, but it still wouldnt be high on my list. Now, which of the above Clinton policies was a failure? |
