The facts About Clinton and Terrorism (You don't need a movie too see his failures)

Yeah I agree Clinton and his cohorts screwed up big time

But the GOP controlled the Senate and House

Was there any Hue and Cry raised over terrorism by any of the GOP leadership ?

In fact did Bush make it an issue in his 2000 Campaign against Gore ?

Clinton also drasticaly reduced the military BUT it is congress's job as given in the Constitution to Raise and Maintain the Army

He couldn't do it without their consent

[Doogle]

another example..the BURGLAR, Do you think he acted on his own? No one is bringing Bubba in on this either, remember the BURGLAR went into the archives 5 times, during the 9/11 Commission's investigation. Something else to consider, we only heard about the one time, caught stuffing his pants and socks.....and how is it..some stuff was destroyed and other stuff got lost? Lost like in it may be found? Like FBI's files were finally found. It all sucks and it has the king rat's claw marks on it.

"On August 7, 1998, bombs exploded at U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. More than 200 people were killed, including 12 Americans. The morning of the attacks, Clinton said, “We will use all the means at our disposal to bring those responsible to justice, no matter what or how long it takes. . . . We are determined to get answers and justice.”


Investigators quickly discovered that bin Laden was behind the attacks. On August 20, Clinton ordered cruise-missile strikes on a bin Laden camp in Afghanistan and the al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Sudan. But the strikes were at best ineffectual. There was little convincing evidence that the pharmaceutical factory, which admin istration officials believed was involved in the production of material for chemical weapons, actually was part of a weapons-making operation, and the cruise missiles in Afghanistan missed bin Laden and his deputies."

The chemicals came from Iraq (Saddam Hussein) - one of many links between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein.

Let us not forget the Clinton/Reno fixation on the NRA and 'domestic terrorism' from those Christian southern whiteboys...

[The Great RJ]

What the Clintonistas and stripped suits in foggy bottom failed to realize was that these acts of terror starting with the 1993 WTC bombing were acts of war and not police actions. I found it almost pathetic in the Path to 9-11 mini-series how there were plans to ARREST Bin Laden rather than treat him no differently than we did Zarqawi and kill him as an act of war.

Can anyone imagine in 1942 Sec. of State Cordell Hull, OSS head Bill Donovan and J. Edgar Hoover planning to send a group of FBI agents to pick up Japanese government officials for trial in US federal courts on murder charges for the Pearl Harbor bombing?

Although I like "The Path To 9-11", I agree.

You need only go to documentaries by, BELIEVE IT OR NOT,...
PBS

"Gunning For Saddam"
IIRC, Bubba and a number of Clintonian luminaries "declined"
requests for interviews.
See how a Christian aid worker did pull out of Kigali (like
the US Embassy staff)...
and even faced down the leader of the massacre to save some children.

Also note on that page: "Sometimes In April". It's a docudrama
about Rwanda, I saw it air on PBS-KCET in Los Angeles.
It's good and sufficiently brutal; Debra Winger plays a
frustrated US government official.

If only Slick would have been as tough on terrorism as he was on the women and children of the Branch Davidians.

Clinton tries to stop it

Bookmarked AND printed (for distribution).

The legacy of infamy..........WELL documented.

Thank you, Byron! (Even if it's a bit belated!)

[TexasCajun]

Throw in Slick's camel attack in Pakistan, baby-formula plant attack in the Sudan & Chinese Embassy bombing in Belgrade.

Slick ranks right up there with The Peanut Farmer.

[F-117A]

Bump!

[lakeman]

He was/is a coward. He obviously was afraid to commit to any true action.

[GQuagmire]

Clearly Clinton is testicularly challenged
