...."If the government thought that his declaration was a true threat, then why didn't they kill him immediately?" President Clinton was CIC when OBL first declared war on the US. However, OBL & Al Qaeda had been at war with the US during most of Clinton's Presidency. Clinton chose to continue his utterly failed policy of appeasement which only emboldened Al Qaeda & other terrorist groups to step up their attacks on the US & US interests globally. ...."Why wasn't President Bush's first act as President trying to kill him?" Actually one of Bush's first acts was to revise the US policy on terrorism. It was impeded by the acrimonious BS by Gore & the Dems trying to steal the election. The uncertainty that ensued caused lengthy delays for Bush & his Admin to get in place & get to work on this policy change. It was however, sent to Bush for his approval just prior to 9/11. And the rest, as they say, is history. ...."IMO, there is a disconnect between actions and rhetoric." Yes, for Clinton this was quite true.
