During Clinton, there wasn't an international war on terror or threats directly positioned by Al Q at them as there seems to be now.

I think some of the speech is about that IMO!

There was a war going on, Clinton just did not want to openly enter the battle.

As long as everyone pretended what was happening was not happening, none of the interested parties feared the scorn of the Muslim community of wackos.
