It's all a part of this problem...Clinton holdovers who have infected every part of our intellgence community. They either must be fired or reassigned where they can't do any more damage.

Worse than even that, maybe. Notice what flight these critters were on? It was the flight that was supposed to kill the President. The CIA's passivity looks very odd in that light.

While Clinton is certainly culpable, (Lord knows for this and other crimes), I think the US has been asleep at the switch for a long time in regards to the threat for Islamic, Middle Eastern threats.

Here's a listing of some pre Clinton-era attacks.

1970: Murder of American University of Beirut President, Malcolm Kerr, in Beirut, Lebanon.

September 1970: TWA #741 and Pan Am #93 hijacked by the PFLP and flown to Amman, Jordan.

March 1973: U.S. Ambassador Cleo Noel & DCM George Moore murdered in Khartoum, Sudan.

June 1976: U.S. Ambassador, Francis Meloy and two other Americans killed in Lebanon.

1979-1980: U.S. Embassy in Iran seized, embassy officials held hostage for 14 months.

April 1983: U.S. Embassy in Beirut attacked by Hezbollah suicide bomber; 49 killed, 120 wounded.

October 1983: Marine barracks in Beirut car­bombed; 241 U.S. Marines killed, hundreds injured.

June 1984: TWA #847 to Athens hijacked to Beirut; U.S. Navy diver, Robert Stethem murdered.

1980's: Several Americans in Beirut kidnaped and held hostage.

September 1984: William Buckley, CIA station chief in Beirut, kidnaped, tortured and murdered.

September 1984: U.S. embassy annex in East Beirut bombed; 2 Americans killed.

October 1985: Achille Lauro hijacked; Leon Klinghoffer murdered.

September 1986: Pan Am #73 hijacked to Karachi, Pakistan; 17 people killed, 150 wounded.

February 1988: William Higgins kidnaped in Lebanon and murdered.

December 1988: Pan Am #103 bombed over Lockerbie, Scotland; 270 people killed.

Face it, we have an "enemy for life" with these Islamic bastards. This isn't something that we have to look at after the latest attack, it's not something that cured by arresting the sob's and bring them to trial either. The terrorists have to be exterminated whenever and wherever they are found.

There were many here on FR who understood the importance of an immediate purge of all things Clintonian from all sensitive agencies.

The Mr. Nice Guy routine has only yeilded kicks in the butt for Ashcroft and Bush...wish I could say I was surprised.

And how `bout Louie Freeh's perfectly timed exit....ten days (count `em ten, nine, eight, seven...) days prior to the 9-11 attacks (attempted coup?).

I heard on the radio news this past Friday that all Clinton holdovers in the Pentagon were being dismissed immediately. Too little too late?
