What was he supposed to do ... have public executions, torture, and hang Tim McVeigh from a lamp post?

Over reacting and putting on an absurd spectacle isn't going to make a terrorist attack more likely to not happen. The criminal courts did nothing wrong.


Unless you are reffering to a couple of embassys bombed in Africa - and a navy ship that had a hole blown into it in the final weeks of his presidentcy. Grounds enough for an invasion of Poland I assume.

If you remember Clinton's 'Bridge to the 21st century' acceptance speech at the '96 DNC he ruined it by droning on for minutes about the great future threat of foreign terrorisim.

Much like with Scuds Dodgers obssesion - few people really cared about the subject at the time - and it was vintage Clinton fear mongering .. albeit at levels that have unbelievably been topped by the Chimp.

I'd love to know how Clinton was supposed to stop an ultra high concept, low tech, type of attack that occured 9 months after he left office.

I guess he could have personally captured and killed Osama bin Laden before the plans were made - probably not an easy task considering he's still at helm of Al Qaeda 7 years after the execution of 9/11.

I reffered to bin Laden a couple of times and compared a poster to him in posts at the old AOL Horse Racing board before the attacts on 9/11. A few people who post here remember them - and people seemed to have no idea who the hell bin Laden was at the time.

The USS Cole attack was overshadowed bigtime in the press by what was going in with the Bush and Gore fiasco. I wish Clinton would have tried to use the USS Cole as an excuse to launch an invasion on a random foreign country that had nothing to do with the incident.

Clinton had all intel coming into him on anything Al-qaida and did nothing.
How about these events?
February 1993: Muslim extremists (al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, possibly with involvement of friendly rival al-Qaida) set off a bomb in the basement of the World Trade Center, killing six and wounding more than 1,000.

Spring 1993: Muslim extremists (al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, the Sudanese Islamic Front and at least one member of Hamas) plot to blow up the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, the U.N. complex, and the FBI's lower Manhattan headquarters.

November 1995: Muslim extremists (possibly Iranian "Party of God") explode a car bomb at U.S. military headquarters in Saudi Arabia, killing five U.S. military servicemen.

June 1996: Muslim extremists (13 Saudis and a Lebanese member of Hezbollah, probably with involvement of al-Qaida) explode a truck bomb outside the Khobar Towers military complex, killing 19 American servicemen and injuring hundreds.

August 1998: Muslim extremists (al-Qaida) explode truck bombs at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 and injuring thousands.

What were Clinton's response again?

You forgot the USS Cole which killed 17 United States sailors, 39 injured. (organized directly by al-Qaeda with the support of Sudan)

What was George H W Bush's response to Pan AM flight being bombed over Lockerbrie?

What was Reagan's response to the marine baracks being truck bombed in lebanon? Or when the US embassy was bombed killing 63 people?

During 1983-1984 there were FOUR major attacks against US civillians or forces abroad and REAGAN DID NOTHING.

NOTHING. But history remembers Reagan as some John Wayne because he invaded the powerhouse Grenada and he had Ghadaffi's infant child killed in an airstrike over the guy's house.

They weren't terrorist attacks sir.
Clinton had all the intel on Al-Qaida, and he didn't do anything because he thought they were harmless.

Seperate Issue.
Hundreds of Thousands have died over in Iraq?

Keep telling yourself that...

If you do often enough you might trick yourself into believing it.
