Dig a little deeper. There is plenty of blame to spread around in Washington. How about the FBI's complaint that Bush II (prior to 9-11) spiked any of their investigations into terrorism that approached the Saudis? How about way back into the Reagan/Bush years when the American Embassy in Saudi Arabia was issuing US passports to terrorists who did not meet the legal requirements for US passports... including numerous bin Laden associates? The Embassy official who complained about this 'terrorist express train' was fired for raising the issue. (He didn't know that this was a CIA/White House operation to recruit 'good terrorists' for US training and use against the Soviets. Some of these same 'good terrorists' have come back to bite us... in one of the worst examples of 'blow-back' ever.) Don't blame poor Clinton just 'cause he didn't clean up all the mess Reagan/Bush left behind in the Middle East (Anthrax and chemical weapons precursors sold to Saddam, missiles to Iran, terrorists trained in the US....) In fact, It's quite fitting that Bush II has undertaken the goal of remaking the Middle East... because much of what he must do is fix the terrible mess that has grown out of the botched Middle-Eastern policies of his Daddy, and Reagan.
