Clinton and Gore were regretting that 911 didn’t happen “on their watch” because it would’ve “made them” great presidents.
Except the WTC was bombed on Clinton’s watch. So was the USS Cole. And the US embassies in Africa. And he folded. Treated it as crimes of vandalism, not acts of war.
I still believe that if the US had responded forcefully to the bombing of the USS Cole, after all, this was a USN destroyer, Gore may have ridden that into the WH.
They had the chance to be great, they just regret that they didn’t have the balls to respond.
But greatness is beget by determination and resolute action.
