• 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.

Leadership doesn't depend on public outrage. The media has been manipulating the public for so long, UNTILL NOW. The Cole and Somalia DEMANDED action. He chose another kind of action.

[toenail]

"This is neither the time nor the place to be bashing past presidents nor past policies.... When the smoke clears.....and we are at peace again.... then can then assess blame so that events like this are never repeated."

Suppose I had a cousin living with me. And my cousin starts unlocking all my doors and windows. He deactivates my alarm system. He starts hanging out with friends of people who have publicly stated that they intend to kill me. He takes money out of my dresser drawer and funnels it back to the same people. He prevents me from talking to anyone who would know the exact plans that my enemies are laying out for me. He takes all of my ammo for my guns. He leaves the house.

Soon, my enemies come over to my house and shoot my windows, and yell that they're going to come back later and shoot me. My cousin shows up and starts saying, "Here's what you ought to do...."

You're saying that not only should I allow my cousin to remain in my house ("For the sake of the family"), but that I should completely ignore his role in the attack on my house?

Ludicrous.

[eddie willers]

No....its more like through carelessness or even (God forbid) by design, he has allowed your house to catch fire and you want to stand there yelling at him RATHER THAN PUT THE DAMN FIRE OUT!

Focus, man, focus.

What? Don't sugar coat it. He was by far THE WORST president ever. He is a criminal and a rapist who sold or gave away our nuclear crown jewels.

By what objective standards is Clinton the worst president ever? What are the facts (not accusations) to support that statement?

How is Clinton a criminal? What specific crimes did he commit? Where is the damning evidence? How come Clinton was never charged as a criminal? He was investigated more than any man in history, so if he committed some crimes, they have to be a matter of record by now. So where are the indictments?

Unjustly accusing someone of something bad is easy, though evil, to do. Satan stands by the throne and lies about each one of us to Abba every day. Accusation is meaningless meanness unless there is also proof of guilt. So where is the evidence, the indictments, the complaints, the charges of crime against Clinton?

If there are no indictments, no charges, no evidence, then there are no crimes. Which makes calling Clinton a criminal a slanderous, evil thing to do.

As to rape, I studied the case and listened to Juanita's tearful testimony. Then I got down my Bible and sought the Lord's opinion. He told me that under these circumstances, no rape occured. Which meant that Clinton wasn't a rapist and should never be called one.

I don't know what "crown jewels of our nuclear arsenal" means, but it doesn't matter, because Clinton neither sold nor gave away any nuclear secrets. One of the many things he was investigated for was being in on an illegal and unethical deal to transfer missle technology to China through Loral, but once it was looked iunto, that charge evaporated. Went poof! There was nothing to it.

However, it is true that the president allowed top-secret U.S. missle technology fall into Chinese hands. But it was a different president; one named Bush.

Other than that, I agree with everything you said.

This is amazing. I really never have paid attention to you even though I just discovered you've been here since 1998. 1998! I don't know anyone who has been here that long whom I have so totally ignored. Congratulations. How could someone be here so long who never had anything worthwhile to say? I just looked at a couple of your other posts and, not surprisingly, have determined you do not deserve a serious response. The essence of Clinton is dripping off your chin. Go mentally pleasure yourself in the sink.

Even though you have no value on this forum, I still hope that Bill Clinton never does to your or your daughter what he did to Juanita. Even you don't deserve it.

[Clinton's a rapist]

Look, Krinton was far too busy getting the chug nuts licked out of his arsehole by Monica Lewinsky to attend to the national security of the United States. Give the guy a break, already.

[anniegetyourgun]

Thanks for the ping - good stuff!

[anniegetyourgun]

Welcome to FR this month. It's okay to admit that your two votes for the lying male slut who was the last president, were just plain misguided and wrong.

[smorgle]

Thanks for the flag - excellent post. Sorry for the crosstalk but I don't get eddie's either/or stance when it's necessary to put out the fire and deal with the perp at the same time. I'd get it if the Pantload had just been an inept president; we'd do better to show solidarity and save criticism for later. The reality is, he was and remains a traitor.

Now is the time to expose what he's done (and the Pantsuit with him), now when Americans are grieving, smarting with anger, full of resolve and asking 'How did this happen?' Now is when people are most willing to look at what led to this catastrophe and demand justice at home, too.

The media calling Tuesday 9/11 "Attack on America" are only partly right. It is the most recent, the most visible attack, but your list shows that it's only the latest in a long string of attacks on America, many hidden and orchestrated from the White House.

To extend the burning house analogy, we must deal with the perpetrator as part of putting out the fire. We need to expose him, his accomplices, and their actions before the next fuses are lit. People need to know that a full inquiry into the last presidency must be made so that we can assess the damage and dangers before we rely on systems and structures that have been compromised.

Case in point: Watching C-Span this morning, I saw part of a hearing where the president of the American Steel Workers was explaining that American steel is being ruined by foreign imports encouraged by the gov't. for the past 5 years. The U.S. now imports more steel than it produces, which not only is wrecking steel workers but also diminishing our capacity to manufacture steel. Worse, this makes us dependent on foreign suppliers, which is a national security issue, especially now as we are preparing for war.

We just don't have the luxury of doing one thing at a time. Kinda like stopping one hijacked flight when others are still in the air--ya know?

Anyway, thanks again, and I hope this runs to Thread 2.
