bin Laden Associate: al-Qaida Expected Weak ‘Bill Clinton’ Response to 911
# # #
Noman Benotman, leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and associate of Osama bin Laden, says bin Laden had no idea the United States would launch an all-out war against terrorism when they planned the 911 attacks.
WTOP quotes Benotman as saying
“What happened after the 11th of September was beyond their imagination, ” says Benotman, who adds that al-Qaida thought the U.S. was a “paper tiger.”
bin Laden thought President George W. Bush would do the same thing Bill Clinton did in retaliation for terrorist attacks: launch a few cruise missiles at some camels and quickly forget the attack ever happened. Clinton never took America’s defense and the threats against us seriously.
When our embassies were bombed, he did little. When the USS Cole was attacked, he did little. When Iraq fired on our planes patrolling the no-fly zone hundreds of times each year, Clinton did little. Even when the World Trade Center was attacked the first time and terrorists tried to blow it up, Clinton did little to nothing.
Americans can often see the difference between one president and another, between a weak leader and one of conviction. People from other countries–especially other cultures–often cannot make those distinctions. They see America growing weak under Bill Clinton, and they can’t reasonably imagine the United States returning to strength and character; to them, once weakness starts, it does not reverse itself.
Is Benotman and his statements reliable? I don’t know for certain, but we’ve seen indications that back it up. And that has been my conviction since September 11, 2001.
George Bush was not a perfect president, but he did have the character and moral center to realize that threats to America had to be dealt with, and dealt with decisively. He realized we couldn’t keep responding to terrorist attacks with ineffectual slaps…or we would invite more and bigger 911-type attacks.
With our president’s “Apology Tour” and the ineptitude at Homeland Security in the last year, I shudder to think what our enemies are thinking and planning these days.

Thank you, Pres. Bush!
Thank you for posting this.
Indeed.
The left believes that if Gore would have been able to steal the election in 2000, 9/11 would not have happened. But we all know that he would not have done a thing about it, other then apologize to Al Qaeda for the towers, and the Pentagon being in the way of the terrorists
Very true about Zerobama! He acts like a spoiled teenager who pouts and “gets even” if he can’t have his way all the time rather than a president of the greatest country in the world!
Amen, LUV. He doesn’t want to be President anyway-—he just wants to be king.
I love this:
"...but he [GWB] did have the character and moral center to realize that threats to America had to be dealt with, and dealt with decisively."
Thank God that GWB was President on 9/11/01.
Hey guys, check out the cover of Laura Bush and her lovely daughters on the June issue of Ladies Home Journal:

And the blog article along with the pic. Just ignore the imbecile comments below!
“George Bush reads with a Kindle”
Former president told friends he couldn’t believe he was in the Oval Office.

Thanks for the heads up about the Home Journal photo/article . . . The mag should be on the newstands within a week or two!
The following is a snark-free review of Laura’s book (from the Wall Street Journal of course):
TROUBLED TIMES, TENDER MERCIES

FYI: Even though it’s not scheduled for release until November 9, President Bush’s book is currently #32 at Amazon!. . . I predict Laura’s book will be #1 on Amazon after her interview with Oprah airs on Tuesday (or is it Monday?).
You know what I just noticed? Both twins have their dad’s smile
the interview is Tuesday
A cute quote from the article:
"George loves to tell the story of how all his Midland friends would come to the Oval Office and say, 'I can't believe I'm here.' And then they looked at him. Couldn't believe he was there either." :)
Thanks for linking that review of Laura’s book.
I am looking forward to receiving mine, which I pre-ordered after President Bush reminded us it was coming out.
I knew it would be beautifully written; she has spent her whole life appreciating literature.
Looks like I'll be buying that magazine. :)
Thanks for all you do for the DOSE, Deb!
re: Barabara’s clothing choices......Laura has said that Barbara has always been fashion conscious, so I think she looks trendy and chic, and those of us who are traditionalists kinda don’t get it. ;*)
Those of us who have not forgotten 9/11 will never forget how God provided for us by giving us a President with the strength to deal with it.
The WSJ article has me a bit misty. Thanks for all you do here on the Dose and FR. (saw your FACTS addition on one of the BDS threads)
Op looks, shall I say...less than thrilled, behind the fake smile. For the life of me I don’t know why the Bush family continue to have anything to do with the “people” that ravaged their family for more than 8 years.
