You're right! Compartmentalizing was supposed to be hisgreat strength. Additionally WTC I came in 1993 and Khobar came in 1996. Both events quite before the impeachment and both after or during election cycles where he proved popular enough to elect. A president with any understanding of the threat of terrorism would have used either of those events and his political popularity to rally the nation.

People choose to forget thast the goals of the WTC attackers in 2001 and 1993 were exactly the same. To kill 50,000 Americans.In the case of WTC I and Khobar Clinton treated the acts as if they were bank robberies and sent the FBI when Delta and B1s were much more appropriate.

You neglect to mention that between 1993 and 1996 was the OKC bombing in 1994. Bill Clinton seized that opportunity to blame it on a VRWC and "evil hate filled polarizing" talk radio.

Bill Clinton looked like he was going to be a one term president until he showed himself to be a "victim" standing in the way of total "anti-government" anarchists. OKC did play into his 1996 re-election.

National Security was put on the trail of a "domestic" threat. Sadly that "threat" did not include Islamofascists.
