Yes, but how many Ambassadors were killed on 9/11? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Yeah, the NaziCons are already trying to blame President Clinton.
Q: Did Bill Clinton pass up a chance to kill Osama bin Laden?
A: Probably not, and it would not have mattered anyway as there was no evidence at the time that bin Laden had committed any crimes against American citizens.
DETAILS: Clinton Passed on Killing bin Laden?

The Iraq war ended years ago, ISIS rose to power because of Obama in Libya and Syria. There is no doubt.
As for Iraq, yeah you defeatists love to talk about Iraq a war against a tyrant just as debased as the Serbian leader. But you don't talk much about the ethnic Serbs that Clinton killed or the Chinese nationals. The Iraq war was won with few casualties then the left ever predicted and all objective met. Hell Saddam was even brought to justice by his own people. Instead of like Obama melding out his justice with a cruise missile.
As for Benghazi, the tragedy there is that it didn't have to happen. Why it is still news is because, without doubt, people died and Obama, Mrs. Clinton and rice, LIED. Why do people lie? Because they have something to hide. Too bad Congress is in bed with them or else we might find out what.
ISIS is fueled by many from Saddam's Bathe party. The stupidity and the incompetence of GW Bush unleached on the world the like of ISIS. Read history and you will see. We did not invade Iraq due to WMDs. We invaded because:
-DICK wanted to enrich his pals
-GW wanted to get revenge for Saddam's threat on his daddy's life and-
-GW could not get a drink to clear his head
Bush left office 7 f...king years ago it is time Obama grew a set and took responsibility for HIS foreign policy. You people are really quite pathetic.

Even Neocons now admit that if Saddam was still in power, there would be no ISIS. But W invaded the wrong country. What an incompetent he was. Now he sits in Texas shining his belt buckle.....

‘The Attacks Will Be Spectacular’
An exclusive look at how the Bush administration ignored this warning from the CIA months before 9/11, along with others that were far more detailed than previously revealed.
Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” The CIA’s famous Presidential Daily Brief, presented to George W. Bush on August 6, 2001, has always been Exhibit A in the case that his administration shrugged off warnings of an Al Qaeda attack. But months earlier, starting in the spring of 2001, the CIA repeatedly and urgently began to warn the White House that an attack was coming.
By May of 2001, says Cofer Black, then chief of the CIA’s counterterrorism center, “it was very evident that we were going to be struck, we were gonna be struck hard and lots of Americans were going to die.” “There were real plots being manifested,” Cofer’s former boss, George Tenet, told me in his first interview in eight years. “The world felt like it was on the edge of eruption. In this time period of June and July, the threat continues to rise. Terrorists were disappearing [as if in hiding, in preparation for an attack]. Camps were closing. Threat reportings on the rise.” The crisis came to a head on July 10. The critical meeting that took place that day was first reported by Bob Woodward in 2006. Tenet also wrote about it in general terms in his 2007 memoir At the Center of the Storm.
But neither he nor Black has spoken about it publicly in such detail until now—or been so emphatic about how specific and pressing their warnings really were. Over the past eight months, in more than a hundred hours of interviews, my partners Jules and Gedeon Naudet and I talked with Tenet and the 11 other living former CIA directors for The Spymasters, a documentary set to air this month on Showtime.
The drama of failed warnings began when Tenet and Black pitched a plan, in the spring of 2001, called “the Blue Sky paper” to Bush’s new national security team. It called for a covert CIA and military campaign to end the Al Qaeda threat—“getting into the Afghan sanctuary, launching a paramilitary operation, creating a bridge with Uzbekistan.” “And the word back,” says Tenet, “‘was ‘we’re not quite ready to consider this. We don’t want the clock to start ticking.’” (Translation: they did not want a paper trail to show that they’d been warned.) Black, a charismatic ex-operative who had helped the French arrest the terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal, says the Bush team just didn’t get the new threat: “I think they were mentally stuck back eight years [before]. They were used to terrorists being Euro-lefties—they drink champagne by night, blow things up during the day, how bad can this be? And it was a very difficult sell to communicate the urgency to this.”

Well, this certainly won't help Jeb Bush.
They all dropped to ball...
What is less well known is that when George W. Bush received that intelligence briefing on Aug. 6, 2001, and was handed the “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” memo, the then-president was on a month-long vacation at the time. After listening to the briefer, Bush reportedly replied, “All right. You’ve covered your ass, now.” We know what happened a month later.Two months before 9/11, the Bush administration was told “the attacks will be spectacular”
In sum, domestic agencies never mobilized in response to the threat. They did not have direction, and did not have a plant institute. The borders were not hardened. Transportation systems were not fortified. Electronic surveillance was not targeted against a domestic threat. State and local law enforcement were not marshaled to augment the FBI’s efforts. The public was not warned.
To put this in perspective, when conservatives argue that Hillary Clinton was negligent ahead of the Benghazi attacks, they argue she should have known about the multiple warnings that US diplomats in Libya passed along to the diplomatic security staff in the State Department, though none were passed directly to her.
Compared to the multiple warnings received by President George W. Bush ahead of the 9/11 attacks, its easy to see a double-standard.
DOUBLE STANDARD INDEED!
Na, not really.As did slick willy the child molester that is Billy Clinton, he was too busy too worry about such things the perverted POS.![]()

This is what Republicans say anytime Republicans fuck up. It's never just the republicans fault. They always got to say the Democrats were responsible too. The Iraq war, the Great Recession and now 9/11.
Bill Clinton handed the job over to Bush. There was nothing more Bill Clinton could do for GW Bush in September of 2011. It was Bush's job to keep us safe and he didn't.
And for those of you who like Trump, he admits it.
Donald Trump says CIA warned George W. Bush of Sept. 11 attacks
Trump said on Oct. 20, 2015, that Bush knew the 2001 attacks were coming.
Aug. 6 briefing document written by two CIA analysts. They titled it "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US."
It spoke of an unconfirmed warning from 1998 that planes might be hijacked to win the release of imprisoned extremists and noted suspicious surveillance of federal buildings in New York.
News reports since 2004 have described in detail the frustrations intelligence officials like Tenet had in trying to get the White House to focus on Bin Ladin.
