    "Losing Bin Laden: How Bill Clinton's Failures Unleashed Global Terror" and of course, there's plenty more where this came from and it's exactly what the right in this country predicted.

    LOSING alleges and details:

    * Osama bin Laden’s rise to power and the September 11 attacks were due to the inactions and failures of former President Bill Clinton and key members of his administration who followed a law enforcement approach to fighting global terrorism as opposed to engaging a war on terrorism on national security grounds.

    * How each failure by Clinton to retaliate made bin Laden look invincible in the Arab world, allowing bin Laden to attract new recruits and money.

    * The 1993 World Trade Center attack --- documents how Clinton refused to believe it was a terrorist attack and viewed the bombing as an FBI investigation therefore blocking the CIA from entering the investigation on matters of national security.

    * Drawn from secret Sudanese intelligence files, the full story of bin Laden's role in shooting down America's Black Hawk helicopters in Mogadishu, Somalia. This is the story that "Black Hawk Down" missed.

    * President Clinton and a Democratic Senator Dennis DeConcini prevented the CIA from hiring Arabic translators-while bin Laden and Arabic-speaking terrorists killed Americans across the Near East.

    * The story of Saudi Arabia's attempt to assassinate bin Laden in 1994.

    * One of the FBI's most-trusted informants, Ali Mohammed, an Egyptian soldier, was given a military security clearance but was actually a double agent working for bin Laden.

    * How the Administration engaged a policy to get Bin Laden removed from the Sudan back to Pakistan and Afghanistan only to get him closer to training camps and his recruits making him even more dangerous and embolden future terrorist acts.

    * How Assistant Secretary of State for East Africa Affairs Susan Rice blocked opportunities to work with the Sudanese government looking to turn over bin Laden to the United States.

    * Documents numerous Sudanese attempts to work with the United States to capture bin Laden only to be rejected by the US State Department.

    * How the Monica Lewinsky and fundraising scandals, as well as a consuming desire to be re-elected, prevented Clinton from waging a war on terror and bin Laden and prevent 9/11.

    * For more than two years Miniter interviewed soldiers, diplomats and intelligence operatives in Middle East, Africa, and Europe but found his best sources were, to his surprise, top level Clinton administration officials including former National Security Advisor Tony Lake, former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Clinton’s counterterrorism coordinator Richard Clarke, and former Director of Central Intelligence James Woolsey.

    All based on the notion that Bin Laden was behind the attacks.

    You have some other candidate, Mr. Hamas? Who, pray, could it have been?

    I just heard about this book this morning. Sounds pretty damning if it is true.

    I have heard before that there has been several confirmed sightings of Bin Ladin in the past, before this book, and that the Clinton administration did nothing about it.

    For the record, I have no problem with the US government wacking confirmed bad guys, such as Saddam, Bin Ladin, and others.

    Why does Hamas's questioning of the responsible person necessitate another suspect? Since when does a substitute need to be proferred in order to question guilt?

    Of course, I haven't read the book and it may well be true have some valid points. I'm certainly no defender of Mr. Clinton, though Mr. Bush's policies seemed to have greatly worsened a bad situation, imo.

    Certainly Clinton's policies did not include a full-scale effort to root out terrorism. He seemed to be more focused on keeping the American economy going (and also his libido??).

    Anyhow, the same could be said about George Bush up until 9/11/2001. Only after that day did he wage a full-scale war on terrorism. His efforts since then have certainly been focused.

    One can only wonder if a Democratic man in office (such as Al Gore) would have shifted his focus in the same way during the aftermath of 9/11. Maybe.

    More right wing crap that will have no real sources. Keep it, I am full up from the five minutes I spent with Fox "News" last year.
