I have always held Clinton accountable for the failure to take bin Laden when he had multiple chances to do so. Whether that would have prevented 9/11 who knows? But he lacked the understanding of the issue to comprehend that after 1993 we were engaged in a war. As a result, he treated bin Laden like a criminal rather than as a warrior. Only a couple years earlier the excellent authors The Right Honorable Lord William Rees-Mogg and James Dale Davidson, in their excellent book, "The Great Reckoning", had detailed the notion of Jihad against the United States and other western countries and the long-term threat against us. They weren't the only people who understood thing; several books of the era pointed it out. Yet, Clinton continued to view 1993 as an isolated one-off in the fact of evidence of coordination. I'm not saying I would have done better. Only that Clinton had a misunderstanding of the necessary rules of engagement.
