Not playing that childish game.

Clearly, you dont accept that Clinton implemented the most comprehensive anti-terrorism policy the country ever had to-date (that might have even been more effective if it had not been limited by Republicans in Congress at the time).....and much of which was quickly over-turned or ignored by his successor until after 9/11.

You win, dude!

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.

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.
