Clinton knew about Osama bin Laden and Al-Quida after the first WTC attack. He also knew about Al-Quida role in the East Africa embassy bombings and the attack on the USS Cole. Yet he did nothing.

In his defense, had Clinton know that Al-Quida was going to do what they did on 9/11, I think he would have gone after them (I hope he would). You know what they say about hindsite.

Here is an interesting artivle from 1998;

Make of it what you will. I just found the author’s pre-911 attitude towards terrorism interesting.

911 caught America off guard. It was a sucker punch to our noses. No one every dream such a horrible thing was possible. Bush was in office only 9 months. He knew probably as much about Al-Quida as Clinton did. If you are going to blame one, you should blame the other.

Neither would have allowed such a horrible thing from happening if they could have.
