This is as specific as the briefing Bush received in August 2001 that the press insisted was the smoking gun proving Bush failed to prevent 9-11. Will they blame Clinton for not taking action to capture Bin Laden now?

Others include a highly classified President's Daily Brief report to former President Bill Clinton dated December 4, 1998, which was titled "Bin Ladin Preparing to Hijack US Aircraft and Other Attacks."

Bush didn't lie??? /Sarc

Gee, did the diseased looking Richard Clarke forget about this?

Could he apologize to me, the rest of America, and all the good people he slandered, for the fact he and his boss were incompetent?

Maybe Clinton would have seen that memo if someone had taped it to the top of Monica's head.

I fully expect to see the MSM in wild paroxysms of outrage over the revelation that the Clinton administration had years of warnings about the potential threats Al Qaeda posed to civilian airliners. Those objective, hard-working MSM reporters will be all over this story, because they thought that the PDB of Aug. 6, 2001 should have put President Bush and than nation on red alert for hijacking threats, so we can be certain that the MSM will realize that 3+ years of similar knowledge should have allowed ample opportunity for the Clintonistas to act. I'm sure that we will soon see Richard Clarke, Joe Wilson, Wesley Clark, et al giving interviews to declare that Bill Clinton and Algore ignored these threats for years and bear a heavy responsibility for the weak security stance we displayed on 9/11.

Actually, it may be that the best chance of getting Bill Clinton's attention would have been to have Monica pass warnings from the CIA directly to the C-in-C.........
