9-11 Survivors Report on How Bill Clinton Left America Vulnerable to Terrorist Attacks
D.C. Chapter ^ | Thursday, April 8, 2004

Posted on 04/08/2004 4:07:23 AM PDT by 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.

I remember right after 9-11 most people I spoke with, Republican and Democrat, seemed to be in agreement that Blythe Clinton was the leading cause of death on 9-11.

It was clear that his willy-nilly tomahawk strikes did nothing to discourage Al Qaeda's blood lust.

Time to set the "record" straight.

These terrorists of the world believe that after they chased us out of Somalia, this nation was an easy target.

The Clinton Administration spent their years ruling seeing "Conservatives" a far greater threat to them than any other threat in the world.

After all their stated foreign policy was "EQUALIZE ALL NATIONS".

Some light reading. Contrast this article's very accurate description with what we'll hear from Dr. Rice in about 90 minutes.

Even on of Bin Laden's tapes, after 9-11, admitted bin Laden was emboldened by Clinton's tuck tail and run from Somalia.

Now, Kennedy, Kerry and the most of the libs are whining the same cries about Iraq.

Either they don't understand that cut and run will guarantee us more future attacks on the homeland, or they are so power hungry that they don't care and would do anything to regain their power.

The Nation is still recovering from the Clinton legacy. We can't afford the Kerry promises. He would have us under UN subjugation and would surrender the Nation in the war on Terrorism.

[My tag line is a good description of the Clinton years and the Clinton legacy spin.]

Kristinn will be distributing copies of this report at the Hart Building this morning before the start of the 9-11 Commission hearing.

I'll be stuck at work without even a radio to hear what goes on.

I still think they are just looking for someone to blame. Tragedy yes, but how could u have anticipated something like that? I mean theres countless numbers of precautions we could think up, but we cant take them all.

Man, I really wish I could get back to DC more often. Since I started school again, I just cant get out as much. Which is a shame. You and the DC Chapter have done more to promote conservatism than I could ever hope to. Keep pinging me though, and Ill keep looking for events of yours that I can get to..

kristinn, Once again you have brilliantly documented facts for us to remember, digest, and share with others. I think you provide in these few words, a thoughtful, accurate rebuttal of the Bill Clinton legacy which as we live and breathe, is still being rewritten.

While Bill Clinton is the person who is directly responsible for what happened on 9/11, this country would be well advised to remember who the willing accomplices were who allowed Mr Clinton to continue his personal charade. 100% of them are democrats with names like, Begala, Paneta, Richardson, Reno, Wexler, Frank, Daschle, Gephart, and many, many more.....

Bill Clinton is not solely responsible for what happened......

Excellent job, Kristinn. May we never forget the Clinton complicity in 9/11.

Excellent summation of facts, I applaud you.

National Security Adviser Rice has taken considerable heat in the media for planning a speech on 9-11 addressing missile defense. I can't help but recall when President Bush took office, one of the first things he had to deal with was the incident with our intentionally crippled spy plane landing in China. We were on pins and needles during the entire affair, albeit, the President handling it swimmingly. Considering that Clinton had sold (for campaign dollars, of course) our missile technology while touting the fact that not a single one was aimed at the U.S., it seems as though missile defense should have been a concern for the incoming administration.

The Bush Administration, staffed with some of the most brilliant minds in history, has performed admirably. God bless them all.
