9-11 Survivors Report on How Bill Clinton Left America Vulnerable to Terrorist Attacks

D.C. Chapter ^ | Thursday, April 8, 2004

[kristinn]

As survivors of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the members of the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic feel entitled to issue this report. Many of us witnessed the attacks and their aftermath in person. Some of us were in New York City at the World Trade Center that day, others were at, near or just across the river from the Pentagon. (None of our chapter members witnessed the plane crash in Pennsylvania.)

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic is an independent grassroots conservative organization founded in 1998. Every Saturday for the last 28 months of the Clinton administration, members of the D.C. Chapter stood outside the Clinton White House informing visitors, tourists, media and employees of the administration of the willful damage being done to America’s national security by President Clinton, First Lady Hillary Clinton, Vice President Gore and their myrmidons in and out of government.

The Bush administration, seven months in office at the time, deserves whatever criticism is due an incoming administration that had to clean up eight years of damage on many fronts left by the outgoing one. However, no one can accuse President Bush of the serious lapses in judgment and dereliction of duty committed by former President Clinton.

On his last days in office, al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden were far from Bill Clinton’s mind. His priorities were copping a plea with prosecutor Robert Ray (a presidential first) that would keep him out of jail and wreaking his revenge on the American justice system with a pardoning fury that culminated in the pardon of international fugitive Marc Rich.

That Clinton ended his presidency on such a criminal-like note is not surprising to anyone who observed him objectively. This was a man who served himself first, last and always.

Who but a Democrat, can forget that Bill Clinton, while he talked on the telephone with Rep. Sonny Callahan regarding the congressman’s concerns about the safety of our troops deployed to Bosnia, was receiving oral sex from Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office study? In fact, getting serviced by Ms. Lewinsky while on the phone conducting official business with congressmen and others was a habit of Clinton’s.

Bill Clinton did not care that he had exposed the presidency to blackmail by a foreign power by engaging in at least seventeen phone sex calls with Monica Lewinsky on her unsecured line. Clinton laughed off concerns of a national security breach, telling Ms. Lewinsky that if they were blackmailed to say they were just making it up.

During the Clinton administration, the closest African-American woman to the president was White House secretary Betty Currie. It was to Ms. Currie whom Bill Clinton turned to facilitate and later cover-up his affair with Monica Lewinsky in the White House.

The dutiful Currie, in a manner reminiscent of the ante-bellum South, once locked herself in the bathroom while, just outside the door, Ms. Lewinsky performed oral sex on her boss, former Arkansas governor, Bill Clinton.

Clinton’s sex-obsessed nature became a national joke even as the nation was put in danger because of it. Of course Clinton’s nature was not a joke to the many women who accused him of rape and/or sexual assault like Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones, among others.

During the period from 1997 to 1999, as Bill Clinton struggled to keep from being impeached and removed from office for perjury and obstruction of justice, and while he worked to keep a lid on the Chinagate scandal, al-Qaeda metastasized into a deadly international threat to America.

In 1998, while al-Qaeda plotted and bombed American targets, Bill Clinton held but two cabinet meetings: One to lie to his cabinet, the other to confess his lie after it was confirmed he allowed Monica Lewinsky to leave the White House with her blue dress covered in his semen after an oral sex session.

Rather than admitting his guilt and resigning from office like he should have, Bill Clinton fought those seeking to hold him accountable to the rule of law with more energy and determination than he ever did al-Qaeda.

National security lapses weren’t limited to Bill Clinton’s sex life. In his first term, Clinton took millions of dollars in illegal campaign donations. Much of those donations came from agents of communist China who were given extraordinary access to the government in exchange for their largesse.

The Chinagate scandal, which included American companies that bought favors from the Clinton administration that aided China’s ICBMs, helped put the lie to Clinton’s boast that “no nuclear missiles are pointed at America’s children” under his watch. Toward the end of Clinton’s second term, Energy Secretary Bill Richardson admitted that China had about sixteen nuclear missiles targeted at America. Cold comfort when they repeatedly threatened to nuke Los Angeles as Bill Clinton slow-walked our missile defense system development.

Airline safety was compromised by Vice President Gore’s decision to not seek standards that could have made the September 11 plane hijackings more difficult, if not impossible. Naturally, that decision was followed by hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations by the airline industry to the Democrat party.

Terrorists had a great friend in the White House during the Clinton years. Members of the Marxist FALN terrorists were pardoned in 1999 to help Hillary Clinton’s bid for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Pat Moynihan.

Yasser Arafat played Bill Clinton like a sucker for years. It should be funny, but it’s not, that the terrorist Arafat has a worthless Nobel Peace Prize while Clinton doesn’t.

Bill Clinton’s disregard for national security led him to completely lose his authorization card with nuclear launch codes. Clinton even lost the nuclear football when he stormed out of a 1999 NATO meeting in Washington, D.C. and was driven back to the White House without the military aide who carries the nuclear football. The aide had to walk the mean streets of our nation’s capital back to the White House.

That was not unusual for a man who nearly left his daughter, Chelsea, behind in Moscow while on a state visit, or for a man who took such poor care of the two dogs he owned as a governor and president, respectively, that they were both run over by cars.

It is not with joy that this report is issued. However, as survivors of September 11, we have watched the investigation into the government’s handling of the terrorist threat devolve into a nasty partisan fight by the Democrat party and their proxies.

We know that the legacy of the leader of the Democrats during the 1990s was one of utter disregard for the national security of the United States that left us wide open to the September 11 attacks.

The photo on the cover, while crassly humorous, tells a deadly truth.

Urgent note to the 9-11 commission: We have a terrorist threat warning! What do you suggest?

Thank you so much for your work in DC!

This article and discussion should be out there where everyone can read it, not just those of us who are believers. I have always thought that the decade leading up to 9/11 set the stage where the event happened. We were hit and hit and hit again during the 90's and Clinton and his people did nothing. They set us up and sold us down the river world wide.

The guy is a real sicko! What I can understand is why seemingly intelligent people still defend him.

Remember the quote by Uday (reported by an Iraqi TV minister) just a few days before the fall of Baghdad that Uday thought 'the Americans are serious this time'. Uday also said that 'Bush is not like Clinton. I think the end is near."

[AuntB]

Bumping for a later read!! Thanks,kristinn!

Don't miss this.

Saddam Hussein's son Uday…killed last week by coalition forces…apparently knew months ago that his demise was imminent. The London Telegraph says that three days before the fall of Baghdad on April 9, Uday told the director of Iraqi television, "I think the end is near" because "this time I think the Americans are serious, Bush is not like Clinton."

GREAT WORK!!!!!!

More and more stuff is beginning to come out giving MAJOR support to the fact that CLINTON KNEW!!!!

CLINTON KNEW!!

[ketchikan]

That Clinton had such a lack of regard for this country is evidenced by the following: Clinton told Monica that their phone conversations might be listened to by the Russians. Didn't stop him did it? He also wanted to fire FBI Freeh but couldn't because of the political problems it might cause in the midst of the Monica incident. The Freeh info is important because of the structural and agency culture under the Freeh reign that prevented info from field offices getting proper attention as it moved up the ladder toward the top.

You or some other nitwit posted this at another occasion. Its manifesto delusionary paranoia is hardly worth my contempt. Any dream scenario wherein jets are scrambled to intercept hi-jacked planes in a thirty minute time window is strictly fantasy of the highest order. Any pretense that something could have been done to stop this or shoot the planes down is completely that utterly unrelated to anything possible in the real world.

Take this crap and return it to the bowels from which is came.

Just shut up and take it. And pretty soon everything will be ok.

It doesn't even have to make sense.

"...in as few as 9 months after he left office..."

9 months. That's a normal pregnancy. After clinochio finally screwed the USA for the last time as the occupant of the White House, the resulting pregnancy ended with 3,000 lives lost, a couple of landmark building being removed from the skyline of New York, a nearby building totaly destroyed, the Pentagon taking a direct hit, a hole dug in a Pennsylvania field, along with other numerous misseries. What a POS the former POTUS was!!!!! We here know that. The problem is convincing the 49% of voters who put that scumbag in office twice. They owe the rest of US a huge apology. Don't hold you breath waiting.

Sorry for the double posts. I try to avoid that as much as possible.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Another lame lie in this article tries to make Bojinka into a plot to crash planes into buildings. IN FACT the plot was to blown them up in mid-air.

On FR we had been warning for years about the systemic undermining of US security during the Clinton Administration. Finally we received an administration serious about fixing these problems and fully engaged in doing so from the beginning. RAT obstruction slowed down and delayed everything.

Of course, the idiot author and apparently his water carrier, you, prefers to indulge in empty headed speculations rather than face the TRUTH.

[GEC]

Only two substantive suggestions.

1. I would have left Betty Currie and her race out of it.

2. I would have added Tom Daschle's wife to the airline industry contribution paragraph.
