Great point! They spent so much time putting out personal fires, they didn't have time to really do all the damage they were capable of doing to America. We can never allow America to forget.

Well ... after what Patrick saw in the park - I'll never be convinced Foster committed suicide.

I sent a reader response to the WSJ about this article with one sentence - "Why aren't the Clintons in jail?" Will be interesting to see if they print it.

Let us know if you get a response from WSJ.

Clinton's handling of the growing terrorist threat is the biggest legacy of his administration, imho. The biggest buried scandal is the Sudan bombing  - the motives, the players, the cover-up by the press, the evidence. The decisions made by President Clinton during those weeks following Monica Lewinski's testimony in August, 1998 haunt us today. Clinton was the arsonist firefighter who cried wolf when real wolves were plotting to harm us from without and within (sorry for mixing metaphors, I'm leaving the writing skill to others so blessed ):

*Spies, damned lies and information - The Independent, 5-6-99, very leftist Brit. paper's version of the aspirin factory bombing, Vernon Jordan's firm representing the owner.
*White House Press Briefing - Aug. 24, 98,  Martha's Vineyard.
*WDBJ-7 News, 8-24-98, Martha's Vineyard, President's schedule, Vernon Jordan meeting.
*Alamo-girl's Downside Legacy - scroll down to 8-98->99
*Arabia in the Media, scroll down half way, detailed WP story of Sudan bombing and those who defended the factory owner/potential bin Laden supporter.

The Bostan Globe, on the 25th, said, “The 6-year-old boy watched intently as his father dusted off his favorite possession, a leather-bound scrapbook of Osama bin Laden, pausing at a photo of the Saudi dissident with a semiautomatic rifle tucked in the folds of his trademark white robe. ''Osama!'' his son squealed excitedly. ''That's me!'' The boy, whose name was changed to Osama last year, is one of hundreds of Pakistani children named for bin Laden since Aug. 20, 1998 - the day the United States launched missile strikes against alleged terrorist camps run by the Saudi millionaire in eastern Afghanistan. The attack sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world. But the response was particularly heated in Pakistan, which sends thousands of Islamic guerrillas to similar training camps in Afghanistan. ''I love his bravery and gallantry,'' the boy's father, Niaz Ali Salar, said of bin Laden. ''He boosted the morale of Muslims throughout the world.'' The local leader of the radical Barelvi sect of Muslims, Salar said he hoped his son would ''live up to his name'' and lead the war against ''the enemies of Islam.'' In Mardan, a crumbling tobacco center 75 miles east of the Afghan border, Islamic priests deliver diatribes against ''evil America'' during Friday afternoon prayers.
In Pakistan, few buy Washington's vilification of bin Laden, whom it accuses of masterminding the Aug. 7, 1998, bombings of two US embassies in east Africa and several other terrorist attacks. ''He's a man on the run, whose only friends are the Taliban. How can he be a threat to the world's most powerful nation?'' said Sahib Zada Khalid Jan Binuri, head of Pakistan's most influential Islamic seminary. ''It's all spin control. If America tells me, `You are a terrorist,' what can I say?''  Link

~~~

Clinton also deliberately left a mess for George W. Bush, left our nation in a weakened state on his way out the WH door:

Gore may have condeded on Dec. 13, 2000, but the Electoral College officially elected George W. Bush President-elect on Dec. 18, 2000.

On Dec. 19, 2000: Clinton went to Kofi Annan and demanded that the UN place tougher sanctions on Afghanistan if the Taliban didn't hand over Bin Laden in 30 days. Clinton and Annan both knew how the Taliban and Bin Laden would react to this - Kofi pulled the UN workers out of Afghanistan the day he announced the new threat - Dec.20, 2000...to go into effect in 30 days - just in time for GW Bush's Inaugeration Day. Link, #676

"Today, the United Nations removed all its remaining relief workers from the country, fearing a backlash from the Taliban, who will be almost completely isolated diplomatically when the resolution takes effect in 30 days, a grace period during which the Taliban could avoid sanctions by meeting the Council's demands." Tough Sanctions Imposed on Taliban Government Split UN, by Barbara Crossette, New York Times, Dec. 20,  2000.

~~~

One morning at the nub end of Bill Clinton's presidency, Clinton chief of staff John Podesta walked into a senior staff meeting in the Roosevelt Room waving a copy of USA Today. Holding the paper aloft, Podesta read the headline out loud, "Clinton actions annoy Bush." The article detailed the new rules and Executive Orders the outgoing President was issuing in his final days, actions aimed in equal measure at locking in Clinton's legacy (in areas like environmental protection) and bedeviling his successor. "What's Bush so annoyed about?" Podesta asked with a devilish smile. "He's got four years to try to undo all the stuff we've done." Link.

"We laid a few traps," chirps a happy Clinton aide.....

Thanks for your addition - will read through. BTW - WSJ did in fact publish my question "Why aren't they in jail". I was surprised.

BUSH-Ordered Terrorism Plan Report to aggresively fight Terrorism reaches his desk on September 10, 2001, sent to him from the CIA, NSA and Dept of Defense.

Terrorism takes over American Jetliners and slams them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon the very next day =
