The newest work from WND Books reveals exclusive, startling information about how the failure of President Clinton to stop Osama bin Laden's reign of terror helped make the nation ripe for the attack of Sept. 11, 2001.
In "Intelligence Failures: How Clinton's Incompetence Undermined America's Defense and Paved the Way for 9/11," author David Bossie uses comprehensive research and previously unreported details from congressional investigations and other sources to document Clinton's frequent and oftentimes shocking mishandling of the secret war he waged with bin Laden.
"'Intelligence Failure' systematically records how Clinton's poor judgment, negligence, indecisiveness, and slashing of U.S. intelligence services and the military left America a sitting duck for the terrorist attacks on 9-11," said Bossie.
The author points out it was on Clinton's watch when bin Laden:
a.. bombed the World Trade Center in 1993, killing six Americans;
b.. blew up two U.S. embassies in East Africa in 1998, killing 11 Americans and 224 other innocent bystanders; and
c.. masterminded the bombing of the USS Cole in 2000, which killed 17 U.S. sailors and injured 39. "What did Bill Clinton do for eight years each time he had the chance to arrest - and even kill - Osama bin Laden?" asked Bossie.
"Clearly not enough. Bill Clinton was too busy slashing our military budget, too busy raising taxes on Social Security benefits, and too busy having an illicit affair with intern Monica Lewinsky right in the White House Oval Office.
"Meanwhile, Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network was growing stronger - and planning its largest attack ever on American soil."
Bossie is no stranger to Clinton missteps. He served as the chief investigator for the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, uncovering facts about the Chinagate fund-raising scandal, and he also served on the staff of the Senate Whitewater Committee.
Said Bossie: "Bill Clinton had eight years to catch Osama bin Laden, eight years to stop this terrorist madman.
"Yet Clinton and his left-wing media spinners want you to believe that it's really George W. Bush's fault for not doing in eight months what Clinton refused to do in eight years!
"They are wrong, and I have the facts to prove it."
Bossie notes Clinton's handpicked CIA director, James Woolsey, agrees with his findings, calling the book "a thorough and powerful indictment and a chronicle of all the ways that national security policy in the '90s helped lead to 9-11."
LOL...even the Dems believe the Pubs can achieve so much more in so little time.
And - when Wussy Matthews dedicates a whole show to this book with an exclusive interview with Bossie, the curtain will fall on John Kerry's campaign.
In addition, I'm sure Tim Russert is already angling for an interview with David and will dedicate his Sunday show to him as well.
Because the charges of a leftward bias in the media is a myth, look for Dan, Peter and Tom to lead their nightly news reading to Mr. Bossie for at least two or three nights in a row.
I've already sent CNN and Larry King an email asking them when Mr. Bossie will be on The Larry King show. I will let you guys know when I hear back from them.
