Where is the contradiction? I was pointing out that i-node, apparently like you, is pretending that no one was concerned with terrorism at all until 9/11. Now the argument can be made that maybe it should have been put at a higher priority. But claiming it wasn't there at all is a lie.

I'm doing no such thing. Clinton had it as a very low priority item -- that we know to be fact, since he decided not to get bin Laden while he could have.

It is not surprising when it is at the bottom of Clinton's list that Bush wouldn't elevate it to the top if HIS.

CJ, > That is not supported by the facts.

Oh yeah, talking about it and firing a few cruise missiles counts as "really concerned."

You're still focused on the "nuance" between "somewhat concerned" and "not at all concerned." To me, it's all the same. No one truly was concerned until 9/11.
