looks like they are swinging the boat around to play pin the blame on Bush. Clinton did nothing and admitted it.

"If we had done anything, say, two weeks before the election, we’d be accused of helping Al Gore," a former senior Clinton aide told TIME.

Gag me with a spoon.

I guess that jolly chap sandy berger had a recent sit-down, tete a tete with good ol' time rag, uh, I mean time mag.

In the words of Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman, "This is such a crock of s***!"

At some point the W Administration needs to take the gloves off.

Anybody have the link to an interview with a Clinton administration official that said Clinton didn't even bother to have meetings on national security? I have seen it here before I think.

Stupid premise for a story, clinton had
every opportunity (sudan) to get bin laden.

"Plans" are always on the military drawing board. In May 1930, the U.S. Secretaries of War and of the Navy approved “Joint Army and Navy Basic War Plan – Red”. This plan included detailed planning for the invasion of............Drum roll, please.................

Canada.

It matters not that Clinton ordered up a plan to some day, maybe, attack al Qaeda.

The bottom line is that Clinton did not pull the trigger and execute the plan.

[robertpaulsen]

"If we hadn’t had a transition," says a senior Clinton Administration official, "probably in late October or early November 2000, we would have had [the plan to go on the offensive] as a presidential directive."

So they were prepared to go it alone and invade a foreign country as a presidential directive, without consulting our allies, without consulting congress, without declaring war, and without provocation? Klinton had 8 years to invade; the latest act of al Qaeda was no worse than it's previous acts.

Clearly the toon and company had this thing figured out.. Because of that dang election coming up, they simply couldn't start a war or do anything which might help a goron victory. No, instead they did the right thing: Wait it out and save their reputations.

If only the toon had a few more months... Think of it, no more terrorism, war, poverty, anything. Makes me so depressed that goron lost.
