Another airliner went down during the Clinton era that was provably due to a terrorist act. That was the downing of the Egypt Air flight in a suicide attack by the Egyptian co-pilot. In an act if pure cowardice, the Clinton administration caved to Egypt's insistence that there was no proof the co-pilot brought the plane down deliberately. In doing so, he hung those victims' families out to dry in terms of seeking justice. He also hung we, the American people, out to dry in terms of caving to the jihadists.

The most important witness in all of this is Osama bin Laden, himself. We have his words on one of his own videotapes saying the reason he expected to get away with the audacious plan that turned into the 9/11 attacks was due to the weak American response to his previous attacks against American interests here and abroad. That's the beginning and the end of the truth about what mistakes led up to 9/11. Don't need no stinking, preening, self-important, expensive "bipartisan" commission (with 70+ staff members) to tell us what Osama bin Laden already has told us.

As I said, our boys were shocked by the low morale of the American soldier and they realized that the American soldier was just a paper tiger. He was unable to endure the strikes that were dealt to his army, so he fled, and America had to stop all its bragging and all that noise it was making in the press after the Gulf War ............................Proud of this destruction, America assumed the titles of world leader and master of the new world order. After a few blows, it forgot all about those titles and rushed out of Somalia in shame and disgrace, dragging the bodies of its soldiers. America stopped calling itself world leader and master of the new world order, and its politicians realized that those titles were too big for them and that they were unworthy of them. I was in Sudan when this happened. I was very happy to learn of that great defeat that America suffered, so was every Muslim. ...
