You can't re-write history, no matter how hard you try. Clinton failed Bush and the Nation when it came to 9/11. Bush failed to put more efforts into what Clarke had to say and Clarke was on his way out the door and not happy about it. Read his first book. Quite telling but the guy obviously had a chip on his shoulder because he was not kept on after the transition. I doubt Bush could have told you who Clarke was in the 8 months after he took office. Clinton sure knew who he was.

And you cant rewrite Clarke's Jan 25, 2001 memo to Rice (pdf)

Or the December 2000 Strategy Document for Eliminating al Queda (pdf)

Both ignored at the highest levels of the Bush administration for nine months.

Memos, strategy documents....facts...are a stubborn thing.

Nothing in those documents state that there is a threat of further actions against the US mainland. Did you even read your own posts? And according to one of them AQ was identified as a source of increased interest in 1996.

In the post of a supposed single commo with Rice, the memo merely ends with 4 questions. Not definitive findings about what should be done. Not recommendations on the part of Clarke or the Clinton Administration. So where's Waldo?

Clinton was completely consumed with Monica and his legal troubles and could not focus on international terrorism.
