I agree.

Cowardice... corruption... a rube arrogance rooted in stupidity... (ironically), his noxious legacy (ironically because clinton's failure to tackle terrorism has secured his place in history's dustbin)... as well as a psychopathic disregard for anything not HIM, account for clinton glomming onto the postmodern ("It all depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is" ) stuff.

Listen to this and ask yourself if America ever had the remotest chance under a clinton to avoid 9/11.
(To paraphrase Einstein: "The unleashed power of terrorism has changed everything save our modes of thinking, and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophes.")

deconstructing clinton… "just because I could"
(viewing movie requires Flash Player 7, available HERE)
 
 

Before the '90s, transnational terrorism was primarily motivated by nationalism, separatism, Marxist ideology, and nihilism. Those terrorists had an interest in LIMITING casualties because maintaining a constituency was central.

By the 90s, however, transnational terrorism had mutated and was motivated by religious-based fundamentalist groups that viewed violence against all nonbelievers including women and children as a sacramental duty.

(ASIDE: So why, pray (sorry) tell, do we give the captured al Qaeda terrorists their working manual... not to mention Mecca's coordinates? I mean, we really must get rid of all this leftist pc crap post haste and start fighting the war for real.)

These terrorists have an interest in MAXIMIZING casualties.The '93 WTC bombing provided clinton with the paradigm, but he failed to see it. He even failed to see the site of the bombing. Talk about denial.

If clinton's failure to viewing tower's gaping hole allowed him to ignore the act, clinton's facile deconstruction of the word allowed him to ignore the act's significance.

clinton failed to understand that when terrorists declare war on you…and then proceed to kill you… you are, perforce, at war. At that point, you really have only one decision to make: Do you fight… or do you surrender? By treating terrorism not as war but as a law enforcement problem, by definition defensive, after-the-fact and fatally-too-late, clinton surrendered.

TYPO--should read:

I think this discussion about Clinton's ineffectual actions against terrorism will be going on for the rest of our lives--in the same way Hoover's actions are still analyzed in regards to the depression.

In the long run I think the bigger story will be the cover up. I don't think Clinton and his flunkies did anything at the time they thought would endanger the country, but I think now they are more interested in covering their own rear ends than in finding problems in our security and in our reaction to terrorism. Whatever Sandy Berger crammed down his pants and socks and then destroyed could have been a key element in figuring out what we can do better in the future, but their main goal is to hide their own mismanagement rather than correcting national security problems.
