Nope as Clinton was too busy collecting $$ from the Chinese for secrets which have allowed them to place a man in space while at the same time trying to chase down fat interns for knob jobs...he couldn't be bothered by something as silly as National Security.

5. Support the Northern Alliance and palce special forces on the ground in Afghanistan.

(exactly what Bush decided to do..... too late)

LOL
left the problem for the next guy you mean? did he draw up these plans in between his last minute pardons?

slick didnt have the balls to do anything at anytime his entire 8 years in the oral office which would have adversly affected his poll numbers. if he had the economy GW fell into, his impeachment would have been for sure, but he'd lost in '96 first.
greed was clintons friend, his greed and the american ppl's...

And what did he do with the CIA budget? And what did he do with the military? Besides allowing gays in the army I mean?

Both very successful crime bills included anti-terror provisions.

Something 9-11 proved.

Immediately after the embassy bombings in Kenya Clinton issued a Presidential directive authorizing the assasination of OBL.

And not only that...dont forget the brave and mighty cruise missile attacks on Sudan and empty tent-camps in Afghanistan.

So right you are, and W has taken the bull by the horns and is working on stopping the buck.

W. has never blamed any other administration, we here on the great board of wisdom and life, have.

I wonder if OBL counted on the reactions to 9/11 from this admin.

I wonder what would have been the reaction if 9/11/01 was four years earlier.

Given what we have done about terrorism in the past it seem we were asking to be hit and had our collective heads in the sand for the past 30 years

First your anger will get the better of you, you should calm down. Sources? Read a newspaper. Look it up. Why do you always try to clam that everything is discredited when you disagree with it?

Ya the export surplus was bound to cause some problems down the line, but who would of thought.

And what will you say when the hearings show, if infact they do, that Condi had the intel and was briefed on the possibility of using aircraft as bombs?

Would you write it off her statement about not being able to forsee terrorists using a/c as bombs as a lie or pure incompetence?

I have no doubt that these hearings will shed some negitive light on how Clinton could have done better to warn GWB in his exit interview...the thought that GWB would just shine on the info because it didn't fit his administrations primary goal of getting back into Iraq is all too plauseable to us who have decided to question rather than march lockstep.

Eagler · « **Reply #40 on:** December 18, 2003, 10:45:15 AM »

they probably have "intel" on the possibility of terrorist using gasoline tractor trailers full of fuel as weapons.
what do you suggest they do?
Will it be the fault of Bush if such an attack occurs?

get real.

hindsight slams are easy to pull off but don't carry much weight for those of us who have at least half a brain not burnt

Go look at the date... Clinton was in office for 38 days. Yet Bush I got a free pass and continues to get one from you guys.

Do you honestly believe that Bush could have prevented 9/11? Answer honestly. I want to know who the lunatics are and who are not. Then I can update my ignore list.

I don't blame Clinton for that one. It's what he didn't do for the next 8 years that I blame hime for.

Not sure Rip. I know he was given a blueprint for success upon entering offfice, and that he ignored it. Clinton didn't "SIT ON" the plan, he had it developed after the Cole attack. (Oct. 2000)

So do you honestly think GWB did anything constructive regarding terrorism in his 1st 8 months?
