In 1994, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (who would later plan the 9/11 attacks) launched Operation Bojinka to down 11 planes simultaneously over the Pacific, killing about 3000 people. A sharp-eyed Filipina police officer foiled the plot. The sole American response: increased law-enforcement co-operation with the Philippines.
In 1995, al-Qa'ida detonated a 100kg car bomb outside the US military's Office of the Program Manager in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killing five Americans and wounding 60 more. The FBI was sent in.
In 1996, al-Qa'ida bombed the barracks of American pilots patrolling the "no-fly zones" over Iraq, killing 19. Again, the FBI went in.
In 1997, bin Laden repeatedly declared war on the Western world. In February 1997, bin Laden told an Arab television network: "If someone can kill an American soldier, it is better than wasting time on other matters." Clinton did not respond.
In 1998, al-Qa'ida simultaneously attacked US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 people including 12 American diplomats. The FBI team arrived within days. But this time the law enforcement did not seem sufficient. Thirteen days after the attacks, Clinton ordered cruise-missile strikes on Afghanistan and Sudan. Here Clinton's critics are wrong: the president was right to retaliate, irrespective of the Monica Lewinsky case. "
Narcisitic rage. My ex wife was a narcisist. I had to endure many such rages before I left her.
Do we really want to go back to the time when we ignored the attacks on our nation? We know that the RATs are more concerned about civil rights for al-qaeda than in protecting the American people.
This bumper sticker courtesy of Rush Limbaugh sums it up. I know RATs, the truth hurts.
Much as I like and respect the Aussies, what they think about U.S. policy is pretty much irrelevant! But you have to dig deep to find an analysis like this in the MSM.
Buying two presidents for the price of one, was a fatal mistake.
I didn't know this but I have read that Clinton only met with his National Security Advisor once a month. This is telling as to how important security was to Clinton. BTW, Bush meets with his National Security Advisor every day!
I heard someone theorize on the radio that it's possible Bill did it so Hillary would have a reason to never appear on Fox and face questions.
One thing for certain, Bill would never unload on Hillary like that ...she would have jerked his leash but good.
The Left abandoned honesty--viz. truth for its own sake--long ago.
The Left includes its Political Machine, i.e. the Democrat Party, and its Propaganda Machine, i.e. the "Mainstream Newsmedia", as well as academia, Hollywood, the Leftist enclaves, et al.
This is the basic failure and the basic immorality of the Left--its scorn of truth and its embrace of mendacity as a means of furthering its agenda. In the final analysis, the agenda of the Left is greed for power.
The "new morality" of the Left is nothing more than greed for power and scorn for truth because it interferes with the greed for power, i.e. the Leftist agenda.
When did Clinton explicitly authorize the killing of Bin Ladin? Before the 1998 cruise missile attack?
THE ABOVE MASS MURDER OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT AMERICANS WAS THE INHERITANCE OF 8 YEARS UNDER THE CLINTOONS.
