Two points I'd like to make... the memo mentions 1998, during which time Clinton was president. Does anyone know that the Clinton administration was offered Osama bin Laden and had plenty of opportunity to catch him? Here's a link to an article explaining in further detail... http://www.infowars.com/saved%20page...in_laden.htm . Some reports say that Clinton warned Bush about this threat, yet if he was so worried, why wasn't the problem taken care of?
And what do people think is better... Bush waging a war on terrorism, or Clinton selling weapon secrets to China (a well known adversary of ours)? Clinton's re-election was funded in part by illegal campain contributions made by the Chinese. Here's a link that supports part of what I said: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/arti.../95433.shtml .
I'm sure, however, that a great deal of this information can be found by those that seek it, and I hope that this comes out in the following months preceeding the election. Bush is not the enemy here that many Democrats are making him out to be.

While I do appreciate the "right on man", and partial understanding of the post, you pretty much just became the first person in this thread to do as I had anticipated, Blame Clinton.
My point was not to pat the current administration on the back, but to criticize the lack of accountability they have shown. It would be extremely refreshing to hear from someone who supports Bush, but is willing to accept that Major mistakes were made in the last three years.
The Clinton administration did at least pay attention to the intellegence they had gathered, and acted to prevent a few terrorist actions, they were far from perfect but put in an effort.
The issues addressed here have little to do with Clinton however, and are focused(as they should be) on the failings of our current administration.
I dont care much for Clinton, Bush, Kerry, or any number of career politicians as they are pretty much sleeping in the same perverbial bed. I am though, very concerned by the complete lack of responsibility this administration is showing, and the blind worship of the Bush follower. There may be plenty of blame to go around, but at least accept your share of it while you dish it out to others.
