Question

Did Bill Clinton's dereliction of duty cause 9/11 !!!???

Bush had a hard start with 9/11 right off the bat like that so early in his presidency.

CLinton Knew about bin landen and had 8 years of intell but he was more interested in monica. Clinton defiled the presidency with his scandals and his blatent dericliction of duty caused 9/11.

Bush has a hard a job and works hard and people bust his chops becuase he's not as slick shmoozer like slick willy the demo RAT

here's a great point sas had:

Bin ladens first terrorist attempt on the towers was in 1993, I think the death toll was less than 10, had Clinton done his job then, we wouldnt be in this mess right now.

Answer 1

THANK YOU! My goodness, people are saying its all Bush's fault and that he caused it. The fact is that this war was going to happen anyway but kept being put off until it kept escalating. Some people say Clinton was so good but he did nothing trying to be popular and was too busy with sex scandals. September 11 happened to fall during Bushs presidency which sent us to war earlier. Its nice to know someone has some sense.

Answer 2

Clinton did know about bin Laden. Bush knew about him too. The difference is that Clinton has enough international savvy to keep something like 9-11 from occurring. If you'll remember, on Clinton's watch, we were making progress in the middle east. We had Iraq paralyzed, had an eye on Afghanistan, and were closely following bin Laden. However, Bush got into office, knew NOTHING about international diplomacy, and ignored every warning given to him about bin Laden from Clinton staffers as well as his own. It's typical though, that right-wingers would still be blaming Clinton almost 7 years later. It's really laughable, and shows that, while you may not be able to admit it, you do not like the position that your president has put you in. We went to the middle east to find the terrorists, yet somehow ended up invading a country that had NO links to bin Laden. Bush did exactly what bin Laden wanted him to do. As long as Saddam was in power in Iraq, the muslim extremists there were under control. Now, as soon as we leave Iraq, there will be an extreme muslim fundamentalist take power. That's exactly what bin Laden wants. Hussein wasn't a religious man. He was a dictator. His press secretary was a Christian for crying out loud. If Bush had simply gone over there, captured the terrorists and made them pay for 9-11, I don't believe his approval ratings would be totally horrid. But, he decieved his country, he's put us in a position where we can't win, and that's HIS fault, no one elses. Stop blaming Clinton for our problems and take a real close look at who put us in the situation that we're in.

Answer 3

That's right, blame it on Clinton!

Bush knew as well and didn't do a damn thing. At least he wasn't in bed with Osama and his family!

Why didn't you respond to the al-Qaeda attack on the U.S.S. Cole? The attack occurred on Oct. 12, 2000; 17 American sailors were killed. The Clinton Administration wanted to declare war on al-Qaeda. An aggressive military response was prepared, including special-forces attacks on al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan. But Clinton decided that it was inappropriate to take such dramatic action during the transition to the Bush presidency. As first reported in this magazine in 2002, Clinton National Security Adviser Sandy Berger and counterterrorism deputy Richard Clarke presented their plan to Condoleezza Rice and her staff in the first week of January 2001.

Berger believed al-Qaeda was the greatest threat facing the U.S. as Clinton left office. Rice thought China was. What were President Bush's priorities? Was he aware of the Berger briefing? Did he consider an aggressive response to the bombing of the Cole or to the al-Qaeda millennium plot directed at Los Angeles International Airport—which was foiled on Dec. 14, 1999? Did he have any al-Qaeda strategy at all? Rice, who has not yet testified under oath, decided to review counterterrorism policy; the review wasn't completed until Sept. 4. A related question along the same lines: Why didn't you deploy the armed Predator drones in Afghanistan? The technology, which might have provided the clearest shot at Osama bin Laden before 9/11, was available early in 2001. But the CIA and the Pentagon squabbled about which agency would be in charge of pulling the trigger. The dispute wasn't resolved until after 9/11. Were you aware of this dispute, Mr. President? Why weren't you able to resolve it?

Bush hasn't gone after a terrorist YET!

Answer 4

As one American to another let me ask you this:Have you asked your REPRESENTATIVES why they're allowing Bush* to call the shots on the investigation into the murder of 3000 human beings?

- Again...we KNOW why the Republicans don't want an investigation: it happened on THEIR watch. But why is no one from the Left standing in front of the cameras to demand the end of the WH obstruction into a full and open investigation?
To begin with...how about simply telling the truth?
- Do you think Republicans would allow this to stand for one second if a Dem was in the WH on 9-11? They would have called for Clinton/Gore's immediate impeachment if they had called the senate leadership to request a 'limited' investigation and hearings.

- We MUST start asking the hard questions and demand coherent answers. The Dems have been SO silent on this and other issues that I'm beginning to wonder if their lives HAVE been threatened in some way.
I myself feel that our country, for whose Constitution I fought in a just war, might as well have been invaded by Martians and body snatchers. Sometimes I wish it had been. What has happened, though, is that it has been taken over by means of the sleaziest, low-comedy, Keystone Cops-style coup d’etat imaginable. And those now in charge of the federal government are upper-crust C-students who know no history or geography, plus not-so-closeted white supremacists, aka “Christians,” and plus, most frighteningly, psychopathic personalities, or “PPs.”

...And what syndrome better describes so many executives at Enron and WorldCom and on and on, who have enriched themselves while ruining their employees and investors and country, and who still feel as pure as the driven snow, no matter what anybody may say to or about them? And so many of these heartless PPs now hold big jobs in our federal government, as though they were leaders instead of sick.

Answer 5

I have to say that no one expects any person holding a job, including our President, to work 24/7/365/4yrs. straight. I don't much care for any married person's infidelities, but even the President has some right to privacy! Don't forget, it took the Republicans several years of investigation to come up with ANY misconduct, and that was the best they could do? Give me a break! There was no dereliction of duty!

Answer 6

Absolutely. Blame the FORMER president....cause he knew about Bin Laden but didn't take him out.....yet Bush has known that Bin Laden is responsible for 911 for 5 years now and has not been able to take him out...

....but yeah.....Republicans say that Bin Laden was just sunbathing in the middle of a giant bullseye and Clinton was too busy banging whores.

I hate politics and relgion. I would like to invite everyone who feels likewise to join me on another planet where we will get drunk and play video games while these "NeoCons' and 'Libturds" and "Muslims" and "Jews" kill each other. I am sick of it all.

Answer 7

RE: became or became no longer bill Clinton a good President? became or became no longer bill Clinton a good President? no longer speaking appropriate to the very own life drama. Did he or did he no longer accomplish in spite of he suggested he became gonna do if he advance into President. If he Did do. What makes you adult adult males think of that Hillary won't do what she suggested she'll do? Does it make considering?

Answer 8

whatever dude. All I know is that Bush has only a few more years in office, then America will judge him, maybe not legally but at least morally...
The world has already judged him and have found him UNFIT as president of the US. You have to think that the US is the biggest and mos powerful contry in here, so whatever the US does, it affects other nations... true! Great power = great responsibility, right?? I hope u understand, take care mate

Answer 9

Bill Clinton should've arrested Bin Laden back then and he was even handed on a silver platter!!!

Answer 10

I think he could have helped prevent 9/11. They knew where Bin Laden was but by the time the missle got there he was gone. Silly Billly sucked.
