• For the record, a summary of WJC malfeasance while in office, leading to 9/11
• From a survey of FreeRepublic posts only
• Some counts are well-documented, others need further research , some are redundant
• Some counts are his direct actions, others indirect acts via his agents and agencies
• List is far from complete - requires a full-time researcher or Freeper contributions
• Add your numbered counts - potentially monstrous - a glut of counts on multiple threads already

 

William J. Clinton, an accessory and enabler of the 9/11 terrorist attacks,

while US president for 8 years, .....

 

• Issued Executive Order 12866 and the change in the Federal Law relieving the FAA of their original responsibility for safety.
• Decimated the budget for 'human' intelligence, including the infiltration of terrorist groups by informers.
• Incited the Muslims with unannounced and unjustified attacks on an aspirin factory in Sudan, with civilian fatalities - (day before impeachment vote).
• Ordered ineffective 'surgical' strikes at Bin Laden training camps in Afghanistan - (day before impeachment vote).
• Intentionally failed to confront Iraq over its complicity in the embassy and WTC bombing and other attacks:
• Covered-up Iraqi involvement in 1993 WTC Bombing and TWA 800 and OKC Bombing
• Made the CIA and DOJ roles into a political joke
• Launched bombing raids against civilians against so-called "terrorist training camps" supposedly under bin Laden's control in Afghanistan
• Launched bombing raids against civilians against a purported "chemical weapons factory" in Sudan that almost certainly was no such thing.
• Launched bombing raids against civilians :on the same day as Monica Lewinsky's grand jury testimony that she had engaged in sex with the president.
• Ordered bombings in Iraq the day before Congress was scheduled to vote on his impeachment.
• Waged war for no compelling reason in the Balkans, and slaughtered civilians with the unprovoked bombings.
• Announced a "War on Terrorism," yet prevented American intelligence from acquiring the kinds of assets it needed to do the job
• Provided China with intelligence to pass on to Afghanistan
• Rejected military strike on bin Laden during final days in office, after receiving intelligence on his whereabouts
• Offered to reduce the sentences of 16 members of the Armed Forces of National Liberation, commonly known by its Spanish initials, FALN, on the condition they renounce violence. The group was involved in more than 100 bombings in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s. Hillary Clinton was then running for senatress in NY, with its large Puerto Rican population.
• Made a "solemn promise" at Norfolk, Va. to the families, friends and shipmates of the USS Cole to avenge their deaths.
• Sold Bin Ladin the communications equipment that couldn't be tapped
• Supported the Taliban militia in Afghanistan; claimed by Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher: UPI / author Joe Warminsky / October 20, 1999.
• New York Times: the FBI had detailed plans and advanced warnings for over five months for the bombings of the embassies and the World Trade Center and nothing adequate was done to try to stop the bombings.
• DOJ and FBI handling of an Egyptian, Ali Mohammed, who worked directly for Bin Laden and the CIA and the FBI and the Green Berets and was involved in Arab terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center and the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Ali first worked training Green Berets, then worked for the CIA before becoming an FBI operative out of Sacramento, California from 1992 to 1996. Ali was indicted in New York in late 1998 for helping Bin Laden do the bombings of the World Trade Center and the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. He was also indicted for setting up and training Bin Laden terrorist cells in the US. When arrested he had manuals for how to hide explosives in public buildings. He is suspected of helping Bin Laden by writing terrorist training manuals for Bin Laden.
• DOJ was concerned how the DOJ could keep the public from knowing about the involvement of Middle Eastern men in the OKC bombing.
• Details for last 2 counts in : [October 19, 2000] Gore and Clinton and Some of Their Associates Linked to Terrorist Groups?
• Disbanded with security checks for incoming personnel by giving hundreds of people permenant "temporary passes". After a year there were still over 300. This prompted the House Commitee on Intelligence to threaten the FBI director to get him to ensure the security of documents in the White House (it is one of his duties) in late 1993, or early 1994. A copy of the letter was published by the WSJ
• Clinton's senior people gave waivers for background investigations and access to CIA documents to fundraisers that were installed in administration positions.
• Squashed security procedures to allow himself easier access to interns
• Banned the CIA from using as informants anyone associated with human rights abuses or terrorism, and banned the recruitment of Chinese below the senior embassy official level.
• Immediately diverted much of the intelligence budget to domestic surveillance, upon taking office. This accelerated after the OKC bombing.
• Appointed, and left in place, people such as Hazel O'Leary who went on a declassification binge of technical documents. There are quotes suggesting that she was trying to declassify as much as she could before she was stopped.
• Appointed people like Deutch who showed no particular interest in actual security, giving access to a laptop to uncleared people with classified work materials on it.
• Repeatedly interfered with espionage cases that involved campaign contributors.
• Mismanaged a haphazard opportunistic foreign policy, where foreign policy was conducted primarily for his own benefit, not the nation's or even his own party.
• Used attacks to distract from personal political troubles.
• Set up campaigns which used up immense resources, to prosecute incited wars, in a manner that was ineffective and demonstrated an exceptionally weak stomach for tolerance of casualties.
• Encouraged policies which encouraged groups like the Palestinians to act falsely, thereby raising tensions on both sides, and reducing the chance of a stable peace.

Bump!

[Lexington Green]

America was caught with its pants down because Clinton was in the Oval Office with HIS pants down.

[tenderstone jr.]

Clinton may not have been the best president ever, but he was not responsible for what happened. He couldn't have gone to war after the African bombings or the Cole because there wasn't enought public outrage and foreign support.

[Revolting cat!]

Too important to ignore. Bump!

[pray4liberty]

He couldn't have gone to war after the African bombings or the Cole because there wasn't enough public outrage and foreign support.

He didn't have public outrage or foreign support when he bombed Yugoslavia, but he did it anyway, all the while crying crocodile tears about teenagers being shot in Columbine H.S. -- how many teenage deaths was he responsible for?

I think the public outrage is coming as more truth surfaces. It's long overdue.

[Vicki]

Clinton, has done more to compromise the security of this country than anyone. It was all done for self-serving reasons. Either for money or political gain.

He should be facing treason charges.

RE: # 4:

So, unless there is a direct connection that every simpleton can understand, such as a direct order or request from Krintong to bin Laden to bomb WTC, you are saying there is no connection and there are no consequences to the actiona and decisions listed above, correct?

[HoustonKevin]

Bump!! ....very good job.

And to all those "It's our fault" Liberals out there saying the Muslims have a right to be mad at the U.S.

We conservatives have been Mad too at their boy Klintoon for the last 8 years of his TREASONOUS behavior!

[lormand]

"He couldn't have gone to war after the African bombings or the Cole because there wasn't enought public outrage and foreign support."

TRANSLATION:

His poll numbers are not good on that issue.

[RightOnline]

"Clinton may not have been the best president ever, but he was not responsible for what happened. He couldn't have gone to war after the African bombings or the Cole because there wasn't enought public outrage and foreign support."

Since I don't know you and prefer to give you the benefit of a doubt............and assuming that you meant no harm with this reply............I'll give you ample time to think about what your wrote and possibly amend it before I totally and completely rip it apart, limb from limb.

[moonman]

Touche` !!!

[TheGoodDoc]

Wrong!

The Clintons' co-presidency (remember we got Hillary to "run" the Justice Department) was a tragic time for this nation. The CIA and FBI were totaly decimated, corrupted, and politicized.

I blame the Clintons for facilitating this horror.

[JPJones]

He couldn't have gone to war after the African bombings or the Cole because there wasn't enought public outrage and foreign support.

You're missing the point, if he hadn't gutted the military/intelligence communities, those bombings (and maybe the WTC) could have easily been prevented.

Since when does the US need 'foreign support' to defend our embassies or ships...? If we do were in bigger trouble than I thought.

Too bad Monica didn't give her senate testimony right after the Cole bombing, Clinton would have knocked the crap out bin laden then!

[RobertJames]

Bump

[Cicero]

There was no widespread outrage over the Cole because, in effect, clinton ignored it, with the aid and assistance of his lickspittles in the media.

[Waco]

Enough oil can be "confiscated" from Iraq, Mideast nations to pay for all his 5 to 10 times over. Make sure it is. "All your oil our belong to us now."
