In all fairness, the whining of various Clintonistas about how the timing of the attack prevented THEIR guy from having a chance to prove his greatness seems to make it unlikely they knowingly helped it to happen.

One thing though, considering what we now know about the think-tank that President Nixon started after Munich and how they addressed the very scenario that happened on 9/11, I’ve always been curious if Senator Frank Church (D) wasn’t part of that effort?

Just some additional info: the think tank stopped meeting after President Carter took office and instead of us implementing the anti-terror suggestions that put forward back in the ‘70s (which would have prevented 9/11, BTW) some years later we saw Senator Church leading his infamous Church Commission that eviscerated our Intelligence capabilities to pretty much the present day.

One of the key events leading up to 911 occurred when Clinton named Al Gore to head up a "Commission on Aviation Safety" shortly after TWA Flight 800 went down. It is a long and involved story but the net is that Gore sabotaged the effectiveness of the report, and actions mandated by it, in exchange for several $100K in campaign contributions.

I have quoted from the article and supplied the link to an excellent article by Joseph Farah and World Net Daily done shortly after 911 making this link.

If the reports initial recommendations had been followed, there is a good chance 911 would have been thwarted.

I doubt that the Clinton administration's sabotage of the report had malicious intent - but the effect of Democrat greed and avarice is the same. Thousands died. Whether from this event, Sandy Berger calling off the hit on bin Laden, or a thousand and one other acts of negligence in protecting America, we will never know.

How Gore aborted air safety Sept. 24, 2001

Following the downing of TWA Flight 800 in 1996, Gore was entrusted by President Clinton to investigate airline safety. He was named chairman of the White House Commission on Aviation Safety.

The Gore commission produced what most observers considered to be a tough preliminary report unveiled Sept. 9 of that year ? one that included tough counter-terrorism procedures.

But within days, according to an insider on the commission, the airline industry jumped all over Gore. As a result, 10 days later, Gore sent a letter to airline lobbyist Carol Hallett promising that the commission's findings would not result in any loss of revenue.

In what can only be seen as a pure political payoff, the Democratic National Committee received $40,000 from TWA the next day. Within two weeks, Northwest, United and American Airlines ponied up another $55,000 for the 1996 campaign.

But the money trail didn't stop there. In the next two months leading up to the November elections, American Airlines donated $250,000 to the Democrats. United donated $100,000 to the DNC. Northwestern put $53,000 more into the kitty.

Following the election, in January, Gore floated a draft final report that eliminated all security measures from the commission's findings, according to the insider. Two commission members balked, as did CIA Director John Deutch.

"In all fairness, the whining of various Clintonistas about how the timing of the attack prevented THEIR guy from having a chance to prove his greatness seems to make it unlikely they knowingly helped it to happen."

I respectfully disagree with you on [that] point, above.
Anyone claiming to know the Clintons in the least, what one or both did and were/are capable would believe a single solitary word coming out of their lying mouths, whining notwithstanding. In fact a damned solid argument could be mounted one w/could always know when a Clinton was lying because their mouth would be moving.
Fact.

The very fact the Clinton & Clintonistas whined makes a[ny] theory they were in some way, somehow complicit quite plausible, indeed.

Moreover using hindsight looking back at the course of events following 911, it makes more & more sense they were involved. Because 911 --incredibly-- provided Liberal-Socialists everywhere multiple platforms from which to launch attacks against the United States of America, American citizens, the American military and on and on so long as it was "American".

I do not believe in *coincidence* SO the leftist's treasonous shticks struck me as all-too-prepared, too well organized with one attack following the other before the first was even finished.

Were the Clintons involved, at any level insofar as 911 was concerned?
I've no way of knowing for sure except to say knowing them as I do *&* having lived through 8 (long) years of their regime? The most corrupt regime in the republic's history? I cannot in all honesty say learning they were involved wouldn't surprise me one iota and that is as "fair" as I can and will be on the subject of everything Clinton.

The Clintons, both of them, were and ARE nothing if not irrationally spiteful; while, no one could claim either Clinton ever cared about anything except themselves, their own enrichment and the furtherance of their own power using --solely-- their own *deed(s)*.

...as a barometer.

That’s curious, I always felt this was exactly the perfect cover!
