Could 9/11 Have Been Prevented?


Probably not. But according to this Time Magazine article, Bill "It depends on what the meaning of 'is' is" Clinton gave Dubya a fast track plan to shut down the al-Qaeda terrorist network, and Bush is the one that dropped the ball.

What is even more amazing is that we haven't heard anything about it up until now. Nobody in the Clinton administration has mentioned this, yet they have all had plenty to say about 9/11. We all know that had this really happened, Bill Clinton himself would have announced it on September 12. In fact, at a February 15 luncheon, Clinton has acknowledged personally nixing plans to get bin Laden. First he admitted killing a plan that would have used helicopters, because he feared the US couldn't get proper air space clearances. He also admitted to turning down a plan that would have used cruise missiles, for fear that innocent Afghans would have been hurt. Also, don't forget that bin Laden was offered up to Clinton in the 90s by the Sudan, and Clinton refused.

Blogger Filethirteen points out that Clinton is simply trying to cover his ass, and that we should "be on the lookout for statements from Clinton saying that he shouted 'DUCK!' at Kennedy and Lincoln".

My thoughts are that Clinton is desperately trying to resurrect his legacy, and will do anything to stay in the limelight. It is actually pretty pathetic.
