Re: Clinton on FOX w/Chris Wallace

^^here here... chris wallace can kiss my moderate white ass. mr wallace "was surprised by the number of emails he received asking why the president (clinton) didn't do more to put bin laden and al-qaeda out of power"... asshat. "surprised"?.. you work for a station of wingnuts and you're "surprised" your viewers would ask that? no one, and i repeat NO ONE adequately gauged the terror threat before 9/11 to the degree of the actual event. i applaud the man for standing up for himself and pointedly asking chris wallace and fox if they ask the exact same questions to members of the right... which they never do by the way.. you know, "fair and balanced". and by the way, the "spin" that chris wallace puts on this the day before the interview aires is frankly unbelievable.... http://youtube.com/watch?v=GIlboCO3CPM

Re: Clinton on FOX w/Chris Wallace

I agree with Clinton that he didn't do enough and neither did Bush. I blame both of them and all the people in the government working on getting Bin Laden. Bottom line is that we were attacked which means the government didn't do its job.

Clinton did say some off the wall things because he was angry. He asked why the Bush administration didn't get questions about the Cole bombing. Why would they? His administration was in charge. He also said that no one knew who Al Qaeda was before we were attacked. I think plenty of us knew including him that Al Qaeda existed.

He said no one knew about Al-Quaeda prior to Somalia aka Black Hawk Down which was in 1992. It wasn't actually till the first WTC bombing in '93 that people started hearing about Al-Quaeda. The Cole bombing was in October of 2000, the end of the Clinton administration, therefore it was up to the Bush administration to investigate when Bush took office in '01...

Clinton did a better job as president and at least he successfully completed the Bosnia campaign. The problem was the American people with their priorities screwed up. More emphasis was placed on what the president did in his personal life (Monica 'Mossad' Lewinsky case) rather than politically.

Clinton said that wasn't Al-Qaeda in Somalia regarding Black Hawk Down. The criticism over the Cole bombing was with Clinton since it happened when he was President. The investigation which happened right away when Clinton was President has nothing to do with the Bush adminstration.

There's enough blame on both Presidents to go around. I don't see the point arguing which one did a better job than the other when both of them didn't do well.
