Another interesting point of reference: The outgoing Clinton security team told the incoming Bush administration that Al Qaeda would be their number one priority and was the number one threat to the US. The administration ignored them, gutted the program tracking Al Qaeda, and brought in Condoleeza Rice, who was in expert in the Cold War, as national security advisor. While perhaps it could be argued that Clinton did not do enough, he did more than any other president before or after him until the WTC/Pentagon plane hijackings in 2001. |

The reason I posted the link above was so that people would be able to read what actually happened as opposed to what they may have heard from a source less reliable than a nonpartisan website that's been pointed to by liberals and conservatives (including Dick Cheney during the debates) as a place to get real no-spin news.
From the FactCheck.org link above: Lewinsky a distraction? Thirdly, the letter says the ABC program insinuates that Clinton was too wrapped up in the Monica Lewinsky scandal and impeachment to pay sufficient attention to bin Laden. On this, the 9/11 Report supports Clinton. "Everyone involved in the decision [to launch cruise missiles aimed at bin Laden in 1998] had, of course, been aware of President Clinton's problems," the Report says. "He told them to ignore them. Berger recalled the President saying to him 'that they were going to get crap either way, so they should do the right thing.' All his aides testified to us that they based their advice solely on national security considerations. We have found no reason to question their statements." (p. 11 Because of complaints from Clinton's camp, ABC removed most references to the Lewinsky scandal by the time the program aired. |
