Question

or how to sweep a war under the rug so the next guy has to deal with it

Answer 1

(1) February 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed by Muslim fanatics, killing five people and injuring hundreds.

(2) April 1995, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was bombed by militia members killing 168 people and injuring many more.

(3) June 1996, US Air Force housing complex in Saudia Arabia is bombed by Muslim extremists.

(4) August 1998, US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim extremists.

(5) October 2000, warship USS Cole is attacked by Muslim extremists.

Answer 2

3, but 2 were not in this country! The Cole, who's planner was assassinated, the African Embassy, the terrorist were caught and prosecuted, and the WTC, who's perpetrators were caught and prosecuted!

How many people have been murdered on Bush's watch compared to Clinton?

As they were either killed or prosecuted how were the swept under the rug?

Where is Osama bin Laden?

Answer 3

there were at least 4 to my knowledge.

Oklahoma city bombing. in which we did not invade oklahoma

WTC 1, in which we caught and convicted those involved and did not invade Iraq


The cole, which happened late in the adminstration, please read what condi rice stated in order to fully grasp how your opinion is to one sided and biased.

Rice: The U.S.S. Cole was a terrible, terrible incident. And it demonstrated yet again that Osama bin Laden was a threat to the United States. We really felt that after 1998 when they had bombed the embassies and the response had not been an overwhelming military response that, in fact, it had a tendency to embolden the — the terrorists.

And we were worried, particularly since in the campaign we had said we wouldn't have pinprick strikes using military force. We were concerned that we didn't have good military options. That really all we had were options like using cruise missiles to go after training camps that had long since been abandoned and that it might have just the opposite effect. It might, in fact, embolden the terrorist not — not frighten them or not think that they were being taken seriously. Our response to the U.S.S. Cole was to get a strategy in place that could finally eliminate the threat of al-Qaida to the United States


as for the the Clinton adminstration and al queda quite alot was done.please note what richard clarke.

CLARKE: Because I was there and I saw it. You know, the White House is papering over facts, such as, in the weeks immediately after 9/11, the president signed a national security directive instructing the Pentagon to prepare for the invasion of Iraq. Even though they knew at the time from me, from the FBI, from the CIA that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

HEMMER: The White House says that before they even arrived at the White House, the previous administration was obsessed with nothing. I want you to look at a picture that we saw last week from NBC News -- an Al Qaeda terrorist training camp outside of Kandahar, Afghanistan. They allege, at the time, why wasn't anything done to take al Qaeda out. This was August of 2000. ( Full story)

CLARKE: Well, a great deal was done. The administration stopped the al Qaeda attacks in the United States and around the world at the millennium period, they stopped al Qaeda in Bosnia, they stopped al Qaeda from blowing up embassies around the world, they authorized covert lethal action by the CIA against al Qaeda, they retaliated with cruise missile strikes into Afghanistan, they got sanctions against Afghanistan from the United Nations. There was a great deal the administration did, even though at the time, prior to 9/11, al Qaeda had arguably not done a great deal to the United States.

If you look at the eight years of the Clinton administration, al Qaeda was responsible for the deaths of fewer than 50 Americans over those eight years. Contrast that with Ronald Reagan, where 300 Americans were killed in Lebanon and there was no retaliation. Contrast that with the first Bush administration where 260 Americans were killed on Pan-Am 103 and there was no retaliation.

I would argue that for what had actually happened prior to 9/11, the Clinton administration was doing a great deal. In fact, so much that when the Bush people came into office they thought I was a little crazy, a little obsessed with this "little terrorist" [Osama] bin Laden. Why wasn't I focused on Iraqi-sponsored terrorism.

HEMMER: It seems like this could go for pit for pat, almost a ping-pong match. [I'd like to] show you a couple of images of the USS Cole bombing in October 2000, a few weeks before the election that saw George Bush take the White House. Prior to that, August 1998 in Tanzania and Kenya, the U.S. Embassy bombings there. If you want to go back to Beirut, Lebanon, the early 1980's, the White House is now saying go back to 1998, back to the fall of 2000.

CLARKE: Right, and what happened after 1998? There was a military retaliation against al Qaeda and the covert action program was launched, the U.N. sanctions were obtained. The administration did an all-out effort compared to what the Bush administration did. The Bush administration did virtually nothing during the first months of the administration, prior to 9/11.

President Bush himself said in a book when he gave an interview to Bob Woodward, he said "I didn't feel a sense of urgency about al Qaeda. It was not my focus, it was the focus of my team." He is saying that. President Bush said that to Bob Woodward. I'm not the first one to say this.



so in conclusion your assement of the responce is wrong, and too politically inaccurate, please learn more.

Answer 4

Bush had 6 warnings from CIA Intelligence approximately 9/11, do no longer blame it on Clinton. by utilising the way your source is approximately Clinton's criticism of Cheney, basically approximately absloutely no longer something to do with your declare.

Answer 5

Good point. I'd like to see how others would handle a job as demanding. Of course, we here on Yahoo! Answers know everything and have sooo much responsibility that we MUST know everything, right? Of course, seeing Monica coming at my privates would TERRORfy me.
