Dan, <The Clinton administration thought we should go after Al-Quida in January 2000> Clinton already tried back in 1998 with that useless cruise missile attack. Tenchusatsu

Good example: The Clinton administration thought we should go after Al-Quida in January 2000, but the current administration felt it was better to wait I read the Time story with interest. It leaves more questions unanswered than it answers, however. Like, "How is it this 'plan' was in existence yet Clinton failed to act when he was handed binLaden's head on a silver platter"? It is obviously an attempt on the part of the left wing media to politicize the war; otherwise, we'd have heard this months ago. The thing that does come through most clearly in the story is that the Clinton administration had failed miserably in its efforts to do anything about terrorism, so they just said, "hell, we'll bundle it up and and drop it on the new administration; first time there is a terrorist incident, it will all be their fault". I'm sure the liberals will get a great deal of mileage out of what appears to be the most biased news story of the last several months.

RE:"The Clinton administration thought we should go after Al-Quida in January 2000" They thought the "open the barn door" immigration policy was great too. Anything for votes.

The Clinton administration thought we should go after Al-Quida in January 2000 The real question is, "Why, after 8 years, did they suddenly get religion and decide to go after AlQueda?". It's called CYA. They drafted this so-called detailed plan (so far as I can figure, it was a 14-slide PowerPoint presentation) at the last minute, so they could hand it to Bush and say, "Adios". Your problem, buddy. What WASN'T said was, "We couldn't do the job. Had him offered to us, head on a platter, but we couldn't be bothered". Just more evidence of the incompetence of the prior administration. As if we needed it.
