Yes. My point is that a)it's not breaking news that we knew about al quaida in the 90s and b)the Bush admin knew about them too. This story is pointless. That's my point. It's a common tactic, trying to deflect accountability onto the Clintons, but it doesn't hold water. 2001 was Bush's watch, not Clintons.
And yes, it was not quite eight month's into Bush's watch, which does not deflect accountability from Clinton, who allowed this evil to fester for eight years.
We weren't attacked because Bush was president. We were attacked because we had such a long history of reacting weakly to previous attacks.
