fred,
You wouldn't mind presenting these plans would you?

A group of terrorists who have sworn to kill Americans any way they can isn't exactly a plan Bush failed to do anything about.

Besides, if Ashcroft had gotten the Patriot Act passed before 9/11 you libs would be whining louder than you are now.

Right?
Steve

If you were President and had a report that Bin Laden was planning an attack on the USA, would you do business as usual? I know I wouldn't, and I don't think you would either.

That's a good question. Why didn't Clinton do something about the threat????
If I am not mistaken the statement was, as Condi Rice put it, historical,as Osama's statement was from 1997. I believe Clinton was president then. Why did he not do something about the threat then?? Was he too busy with Monica, or fending off his perjury conviction? Or was it the Chinese stealing our nuclear secrets he was worried about?
When is he, Clinton, going to testify in public, under oath, that during his 96 months in office, as to Bush's less than 7, as to why he did not take Bin Laden seriously, and instead treated the terrorist threats as a legal problem,embolding them, and leading directly to the WTC disaster?

and what just exactly would you do? Clear the cities?

Clear the "federal buildings" that were mentioned....and as it turned out were not hit?

It was no news that bin laden wanted to attack the USA....or highjack planes.

And yes, Condi spelled out how President Bush was changing the face of how they were going to treat terrorism. But, even that aside, there is NO action outside of killing binladen that would have stopped the attack, and I doubt even that would have stopped it.

Oh, and Bubba?? EIGHT YEARS OF NOTHING. and then the new admin had to come in and start dealing with the crap Clinton put out as he was going out the door.

Everyone can share a little blame in this deal, but IMO, no one would have stopped it.

What could the poor guy do, he didn't have "actionable intelligence", now if they'd just provided him with names, date, place, and method of attack, he would have "moved mountains" instead of just kicking back on the ranch and moving mole hills.
