No. This payback must be for more recent evil.
If this IS payment back, then it is more likely for the rape and plundering of the United States
and the attack upon many of its citizens by X42 and his people (who are still holdovers).

Bill Clinton, the former president, said yesterday that terror has existed in America for hundreds of years and the nation is "paying a price today" for its past of slavery and for looking "the other way when a significant number of native Americans were dispossessed and killed."

we have to be smart enough to get rid of our arrogant self-righteousness
This battle fundamentally is about what you think about the nature of truth
This man is sick sick sick.
A writer couldn't put so UNself-aware a character into a novel, because no editor would find it remotely reasonable.
Friends of Osama
If Bill Clinton did tell the girlfriend of one of the Beatles that he could do a much better job against the Taliban were he president rather than George W. Bush, it only confirms what some of us have known all along: there is no bald-faced phony, no lunchbucket pilferer more petty than America’s 42nd president. Mind you, if he said it, and I’m sure he did, knowing Clinton, he will just as surely deny it. Denial, after all, is what Clinton’s legacy is all about, a lesson he learned early in life, one that has served him well throughout his career.
The other lesson that’s served him well is the token gesture. It was Clinton who went on the air and announced that the perpetrators of terror against Uncle Sam would be quickly rounded up and brought to justice. It was Clinton who ordered a few cruise missiles to hit Sudan after he got caught with his pants down.
It was Clinton who ordered investigations after the bombing of the USS Cole last year and then went back to business as usual. It was Clinton who cut and ran from Somalia after some of our boys were killed in battle and their bodies run through the streets of Mogadishu.
Now put yourself in Osama bin Laden’s shoes. After such halfhearted responses from the numero-uno power on Earth, he would have been very stupid not to escalate.
The rot, of course, began with Jimmy Carter. When the hostages were taken in Tehran, Carter pulled a Clinton. From the mullahs’ point of view, the peanut farmer looked as intimidating as Shirley Temple, and half her size. At the time, I was asked by an editor of a political weekly (he was considering me as a columnist) what I would do were I president.
Easy, I told him. I’d carpet-bomb Kum or Isfahan, and land the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions at Tehran to rescue the American hostages. "What about losses?" asked the incredulous editor. "No matter how many hostages were killed, and how many of our soldiers, it would be worth it for the future," was my answer.
Let’s face it. Soldiers are trained to fight, but also to die. Carter took the soft option, and ever since America has been the patsy. Any attack on America is risk-free as far as militant Islam is concerned, so the attacks have escalated ever since.
But back to the venal and power-crazy Clinton. It was he who through demagoguery fooled the people yet again while decimating America’s military. It was he who undertook to destroy America’s intelligence agencies by posting people like John Deutch and Nora Slatkin as heads of the CIA, who in turn implemented a "human rights scrub" policy. Deutch and Slatkin were no accidental appointments.
They were Clinton’s way of implementing his anti-intelligence, 60s antiwar theories. It was Clinton, with the grotesque Hillary whispering in his ear, getting back at the institutions whose men–and few women–he never managed to fool: the military and the intelligence agencies.
