Bush Did Little Prior to 9/11
Contributed by J. R. Ransom
Ignored the Facts?
Video (8min 50sec) of Detailed presentation of the facts regarding what the Bush administration did and did not do to catch or kill bin Laden prior to the 9/11 attack. This settles the arguement between the Clinton and Bush camps. This is a very important video to see.
Keith Olbermann says, "Our goal in this report is to rise to Mr. Clinton's challenge and assess the record of Mr. Bush's efforts against Al Qaeda in his first eight months in office. We begin with Rice's claim that Clinton left no strategy to fight Al Qaeda.
On January 25th, 2001, five days after Mr. Bush took office, counterrorism czar Richard Clark sent Rice a memo attaching to it a document entitled "Strategy for Eliminating the Threat of Jihadist Networks of Al Qida: Status and Prospects."
Presented the Facts
It was, Clark wrote, "developed by the last administration to give to you... incorporating diplomatic, economic, military, public diplomacy and intelligence tools." Clark's deputies meeting came in April when he says Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz insisted the real terrorism threat was not Al Qaeda by Iraq.
This goes on to tell how the anti terrorism activities were demoted from cabinet-level to being dealt with by deputies and how Senators like Carl Levin were calling for action. After Bush says that "we must develope and deploy effective missile defenses", Democrats who controlled the Senate warned that his focus was misplaced.
Senator Levin said, "I am also concerned that we are not putting enough emphasis on the most likely threats to our national security and to our forces deployed arund the world. Those asymetric threats like the attack on the U. S. S. Cole. There seems to have been no real meeting about the terrorist problem at all until September 4th 2001, only one week before the attack on the World Trade Center.
