It is flogging a dead horse to point out yet another criminal or moral shortcoming by the Clintons, I realize, but the "The Path to 9/11," a six-hour miniseries scheduled to air September 10 and 11 on ABC, is must viewing since it clearly documents how FBI terrorism chief John O'Neill tried in vain to convince the Clinton administration that it needed to deal with Osama bin Laden. Needless to say, "Slick" had more important matters on his mind and between his legs. Liberals are already whining, as they inevitably do when the TRUTH emerges. Their only "truth" is that which they can twist to their own sordid ends. "Slick" had the opportunity to have bin Laden extradited, said so himself, and then later denied it. Duh! And his party is going to protect America from terrorism? Give me a BREAK! I still doubt they got all of the classified documents that Clinton's security advisor Sandy Berger stuffed in his nasty drawers. Conservatives make mistakes, but liberals are downright DANGEROUS!

February 1993: Muslim extremists (al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, possibly with involvement of friendly rival al-Qaida) set off a bomb in the basement of the World Trade Center, killing six and wounding more than 1,000.

Spring 1993: Muslim extremists (al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, the Sudanese Islamic Front and at least one member of Hamas) plot to blow up the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, the U.N. complex, and the FBI's lower Manhattan headquarters.

November 1995: Muslim extremists (possibly Iranian "Party of God") explode a car bomb at U.S. military headquarters in Saudi Arabia, killing five U.S. military servicemen.

June 1996: Muslim extremists (13 Saudis and a Lebanese member of Hezbollah, probably with involvement of al-Qaida) explode a truck bomb outside the Khobar Towers military complex, killing 19 American servicemen and injuring hundreds.

August 1998: Muslim extremists (al-Qaida) explode truck bombs at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 and injuring thousands.

October 2000: Muslim extremists (al-Qaida) blow up the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Cole, killing 17 U.S. sailors.

Sept. 11, 2001: Muslim extremists (al-Qaida) hijack commercial aircraft and fly planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000 Americans.

Not real difficult to figure out who dropped the ball.

If you have a functioning brain and don't rely on Jon Stewart and Bill Maher for your liberal "truth".

Yah I guess he was too busy dealing with the bullshit from the republican controlled house and senate who tried like hell to bring him down and still failed. You guys will stop at nothing.Why dont you blame your precious Reagan for creating Bin Laden. Or does that not matter, because he was Alzheimers ridden windbag even back then? Right its more dangerous to lie about what Clinton lied about then to lie about the reasons for going to war? Oh im sorry did I miss the day during Clintons run in office where he started a war that was not sanctioned by the UN? Did I miss the day where when Clinton was in office, he illegally invaded and overthrew a dictator he installed? Did I miss the day during Bushs presidency where he caught Bin Laden, because I would just assume thats been done already since they NEVER talk about him anymore except for right around election time. Oh and did I miss the day where Bush suddenly became a competent President instead of one mocked the world over? I dont think I did, but please since republicans seem to know everything maybe you could fill me in

In fairness, The Path to 9/11 is not labeled as a documentary but a dramatization. Clinton and his administration are challenging portions of the special they say are blatantly untrue. Do I know? No. They may or may not be.

For example " .. contested scene focuses on Albright, who is depicted alerting Pakistani officials in advance of a 1998 U.S. missile strike against bin Laden in Afghanistan - over the objections of the Pentagon. The movie claims the tip-off allowed bin Laden to escape.

But the 9/11 commission reported that it was a member of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff - not Albright - who met with a senior Pakistani Army official prior to the strike to "assure him the missiles were not coming from India."

That doesn't absolve the Clinton administration. I believe their treatment of terrorism as a law and order policy emboldened those who plotted against the US and did eventually lead to 9-11.

There is so much left out that the question/rhetoric slants toword an answer. Both parties have endangered us and both are culpable. Both parties have done well and good. The running of a country is something only a handful of us will ever even come close to grasping. Horrible things will happen and much good will happen. It is easy to sit back and judge. It is close to impossible to do the real job. The thing i fear most is those who won't do the real research. The real work to get the actual truth. Politicians and constituents alike.

So when George Bush took office, it was great to see him take immediate action on this issue. With the GOP controlling Congress, and Bush in the White House, catching Bin Laden must have been a top Republican priority....

Oh, wait, I forgot. Bush and the Republicans did nothing about this "urgent" issue. For months, and months and months....and then we got attacked, and the Republicans all stood up and screamed about how they were the party to keep us safe....Sound about right?

There are many who dispute the fantasy of this movie, they use the name of the 9/11 commission, but not the actual facts.
Question: Who is the ONLY president to attack bin laden?

Clue: Its not George Bush - He likes to bring up bin laden's name when it suits him. Remember when he said "....bin laden is just not important"?

Well, which is it? Boy, talk about flip flopping.

Tell me, Ive lost track, what is the current reason for going to war in Iraq?

Yes, George Bush, The TERROR President

If you watch anything on ABC it is going to have a super liberal spin. Watch out! Read chapter 4 of the 9/11 Commision Report.

I read the 9/11 Commission Report. Both administrations made mistakes. But liberals are weak when it comes to nat'l security issues. But when facts come out libs can't handle the truth.

It depends on what your definition of "is" is.


To Clinton's credit, GWB also looked at the frantic face of a CIA agent warning against the attacks and said "You've covered your *** now son". Then moved on to other things just like Clinton. They are all bureaucrats who only do what interests them. A shame it takes more than 3 buildings being attacked before the libs take interest in fighting Islamic Jihad.
