Remember, Clinton warned Bush about Bin Laden

[Roon]

NEW YORK - Former President Bill Clinton warned President George W. Bush before he left office in 2001 that Osama bin Laden was the biggest security threat the United States faced, Clinton said on Wednesday.

Speaking at a luncheon sponsored by the History Channel, Clinton said he discussed security issues with Bush in his "exit interview," a formal and often candid meeting between a sitting president and the president-elect.

At Wednesday's luncheon, Clinton said his inability to convince Bush of the danger from al Qaeda was "one of the two or three of the biggest disappointments that I had."

1. I think Richard Clarke was right there with Clinton as far as

warnings, but to no avail.

7. But Condi needed the seat numbers!! How can she protect America

if she doesn't know what seats the hijackers are sitting in?

Damn, what is a National Security Advisor supposed to do...deal with national security all the time? She does have a life to lead, you know.

4. And your point? Never forget that no one

died on Clinton's watch. The same can't be said for the blivet (look it up). And welcome to DU!

5. Clinton didn't invade the wrong country after the first hit on the WTC

Sure, he didn't get OBL, that's true. However, he didn't start dropping bombs on countries that he didn't like and say that he was looking for him, either.
