[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 123864, member: 2189"] No argument from me Tie. I do think Clinton operated in ways for whatever reason that caused him to miss opportunities or see those opportunities to address Bin Laden. I will also admit our ability now to see in this perspective is from the advantage of hindsight. I guess not because the most obvious next question would be, "then why did you fail to react to the information in the report?" How do you answer that one in their shoes? Why Bush and Company failed to respond is puzzling unless you buy the conspiracy theory that Bush and Cheney had backroom meetings with the Anglo-American Oil barons and fellow travelers and the plan was to let Osama and Al Queda attack. Osama even took his orders from the same folks that Bush did and this in turn was the mechanism to invade the Mid-East for the empire. I do believe there is an aristocratic, empirical thought process among the various elites but in most cases things happen as a result of poor management and in some cases just bad luck and that rarely things are so perfect of a conspiratorial cause & effect. My guess is the data wasn't acted on at the time for much the same "watching the polls" mentality that so engrossed the previous adminstration. They all do it but I just think the Clinton gang was more overt about it and in an odd way at least that shows some honesty on their part. I really think the real lesson that we should have learned since the first WTC attack in 93' was that the gov't just can't protect us no matter what or how hard they try and I do think the average law enforcement, soldier, etc. is trying their guts out to do just that. God love em for it too! The truth is, nobody can. Just as hard as the local cop may try he can't be everywhere and protect everyone at all times from the criminal element. The bigger question for us is, are far and how much are we willing to give up to the local cop so that at the very least our satistical odds of being a victim might go up just enough to give us some false hope of security. The best defense against these bastards is being good neighbors, knowing your neighbors and even knowing your local law and protective service officials.
