Is Bill Clinton Responsible for September 11?

No, he is not. The terrorists are responsible. Clinton is responsible for creating a poor security environment that made the raids possible by making stupid rules for intelligence agencies, promoting disarmed environments such as planes and schools, sticking his nose in everyone else's business while not attending to ours, and first and foremost creating such an atmosphere of distrust against government that folks were suspicious of ANY attempt of his to promote security.

Does the bear poop in the woods? Is the Pope a Catholic? Thanks to Billy Blythe for dismantling our security and intelligence apparatus. He's a traitor.

What keeps knawing at me is the John Huang visits to the Riady offices from the Commerce Dept, with classified info. I just have this unconfirmed feeling that this anti-american org is larger and has infiltrated much deeper than we know. Why did Riady need Huang in the commerce? Why did he tell Clinton to get him in? Frankly, I think that if people want to arget people for a backlash they should start at the DNC not a Mosque.

I used the one in the first one. But I don't think Hidy's got the guts to even admit that she's dead wrong on this. We need the CIA, and to be very honest, I will say we need people like Ollie North in the CIA. We need people who will do what it takes to keep our people safe from hostile foreign interests, both state-sponsored and private-sector.

No, the terrorists are responsible and they will die for it. Clinton is responsible for dereliction of duty while POTUS and that will be his legacy.

In short, our president placed his preoccupation with his own public image above the safety of the entire world, and was content to saddle future administrations with the disastrous outgrowths of his own self-absorbed gutlessness.

This says it all.

It's just too bad that he came back! I guess the Aussies didn't want him either.
P.S. Clinton is as responsible for these attacks as the terriorists themselves. I hope before I die, I get to see them execute him for treason (and his ugly wife too).

As O'Reilly said, the primary function of the federal gummint is to protect the people. If it can't do that, why do we need it?

Bill Clinton is responsible to the degree that Neville Chamberlain was responsible for appeasing Hitler instead of striking back early.

Hitler is known historically as the monster, but Chamberlain is universally despised for being the enabler.

Call it payback for her and her ilk blaming Bush. Or, say it's because I'm sick of their head-in-the-sand approach to the way things are in the world. Or, perhaps I'm sick of her hate speech against the CIA and other insitutions that DO have a place in the federal budget as opposed to other programs that are ineffective and/or unnecessary.

Besides, as I said earlier, I don't think she's got the guts to show up and do anything beyond a hit-and-run. She just wants to bash the CIA, Bush, and anyone else who is not "progressive." She doesn't have the stomach for an honest debate.

I heard a report last week when they were looking for Satan Laden that he possibly could be in Indonesia where the Muslim radicals were getting a foothold, with SL's help. There are just tooooo many coincidences in this. But, there may be a possibility that when the you know what hits the fan some of the not so committed might begin to talk.

Is Bill Clinton Responsible for September 11?

No, we as a nation are responsible.

Hang on a minute now, and listen.

The terrorists were just being terrorists, doing what comes natural. They had jobs to do--killing Americans and restricting American freedom--and they did those jobs very well.

We as American citizens have an important job too--defending America and preserving American freedom--that we have been practically ignoring for decades.

Americans died on September 11th not because people in this country have too many freedoms, but because we have too few.

For example, we do not have the freedom not to spend our money on foreign aid to enemies of terrorists. The government extorts our money from us and spends it on whatever foreign aid it chooses, without Constitutional authority and without asking our permission. In a Constitutional America, all foreign aid would come from private foundations that would be voluntarily funded by people who wanted to give money to a foreign government. Only the people who funded the foundations pumping money into Israel would be targeted by terrorists, not Americans in general. (I would certainly and enthusiastically be one of those people: but it is unjust to force that responsibility upon people who haven't willingly contracted for it.)

As another example, we do not have the freedom to equip ourselves defend our lives and those of others while we're on airliners--and airline companies don't even have the freedom to give us that freedom.

Americans died on September 11th not because people in this country have too many freedoms, but because we have too few.

Who took those freedoms away? The US government did.

But who let the government take those freedoms away? We did. It is not the government's job to protect the freedoms of Americans. Just like every other government, it is our government's job to take away those freedoms and grow ever larger and more powerful. If those freedoms are to be protected, they must be protected by us, and no one other than us.

So September 11th, when Americans came under attack and had no freedom to prevent the attack, was the culmination of a job very well done by terrorists. It was also the culmination of a job very well done by the government--including Bill Clinton. The only folks who have not been doing a good job, who have been ignoring their responsibilities, who have been shirking their duty--are us. And from the looks of our lukewarm reactions to indications that the government is going to use this crisis to become much more streamlined and efficient at its job...we're continuing to do nothing.

If we had been doing our job preventing the terrorists and the government from doing theirs, then on September 11th at most 19 people would have had to die, and very few feathers would have been ruffled. But because we haven't been doing our job, now the government has to go kill a lot more than 19 people, and most of the Islamic world is going to hate us even more murderously.

No, Bill Clinton is not responsible for September 11th. He was a dishonest, corrupt, contemptible criminal, but he was just doing what came naturally to him. We were the ones who elected him and put him in a place where doing what came naturally could hurt us, and then permitted our representatives to refuse to remove him from it.

There are still unAmerican, traitorous spies around the President and White House. They gave the special codes and procedures of the day to the terrorists. The Secret Service got a coded msg around 9 am on 9/11 stating "AirForce One is next".

We have to be find and throw those filthy bloody pigs into our worst prisons to stew. Then we'll take care of them after we take care of bin laden and the other terrorists still scurrying like the rats they are here in the US and trying to attack our overseas property, considerations and our friends and allies.

“Clinton spent less concentrated attention on national defense than any other President in recent memory. He could learn an issue very quickly, but he wasn’t very interested in getting his hands dirty with detail work. His style was procrastination, seeing where everyone was, before taking action. This was truer in his first term than it was in the second, but even when he began to pay attention he was severely constrained by public opinion and his own unwillingness to take risks.”
It is hard to come up with a more damning description of negligence than that!!
Quotes from article by Joe Klein quoted in an excellent article by Andrew Sullivan on andrewsullivan.com

The government extorts our money from us and spends it on whatever foreign aid it chooses, without Constitutional authority and without asking our permission.

The government also extorts our money and spends it on every domestic socialist entitlement program it can think of too. That's what sickens me worse than money spent on foreign aid. We just dole out money to a sect of our society that refuses to work and better themselves. I believe forstering this kind of dependency in government also contributed to the 9-11 attacks. And, thus, Bill Clinton and the Democrats being the biggest proponents of government entitlement spending are ultimately responsible.

Don't you find it sickenly ironic that the Clinton administration spent more money pursuing Bill Gates than they did pursuing world terrorists.

So, is Bill Clinton responsible for the 9-11 terrorists attacks on our great nation. I give an emphatic, HELL YES!!!"

I agree with you on most of what you are saying. I do belive that Bill Clinton was a traiter, and I do belive that he was some what respobsible for September 11th. You see, I usually dont like to get into politics, or choose sides, because I figure this is an on-going battle that will never be won. But, I have to give Bush some credit on going to war, yeah I know war equals death and what not, but America needs to stop giving a shit if they are liked, because its that attitude that gets us into trouble. Our whole lives America's policy on war was; We dont attack them unless they attack first, well I think that pollicy needs to go. Cliton NEVER took care of Iraq and all those countries who bullied us around, and because of Cliton thousands of people died on September 11th. Bill Cliton would have rather been partying at the white house with Monica than taking care of the millions of lives in his hands. He knew he had power, and he did things to fuck up the economy and turn countrys against us because he could. One example I can think of right now is Clintons ties with China. China donated about 250,000 dollars to Clinton campaign...I cant figure out why no one could see how fishy that was considering China hates us. Maybe we should all take the time to consider who we are voting for to control what happens to our country..do we want a strong leader? or someone who would rather commit adultry and party with some whore who works in the white house than actually take notice of the power he has and take care of his country?

Stop Blaming Bill on the Blythe Family.

Blythe was serving in Europe with the US Army until 5 months before Bill's birth, at full term. He was also married to someone else in Texas, and had children, (both of whom have prison records) at the time. There is no solid evidence that Blythe was actually married to Virginia Kelly, Bill's Mom. Old Hot Springs hands think that Bill's Uncle Ray, the town fixer, arranged Blythe's marriage or the records, possibly posthumously, to Virginia. (She is the Mom. That's certain, at least.)

Bill Clinton either has no idea exactly who his Dad was, or does not wish it known. Neither does the Blythe family.
