Are you implying Clinton set the table for 9-11?Kmarion wrote:

He cut intelligence spending a bit too much. He was of course continuing where Bush Sr left off, but I think he went to far. Ever since the end of the cold war those kinds of programs were getting slashed. I think the intelligence programs should have been reassessed and relocated to other areas during the 90's *cough middle east*. Maybe we could have seen resentment building and threats coming. Of course I am playing Monday morning quarterback now.
I am saying that he helped create a situation that restricted the capability of our foreign intelligence agencies. The results of what might have been are purely speculative and no one can say for certainty.Mason4Assassin444 wrote:

True but Bush was still the one who five months before 9/11 said tracking down terrorists and their plots was likeKmarion wrote:

Anything else to add?
I wish he had just said "it's none of your fucking business whether I get sucked off or not" or something, it would have made it so much better for him... >.>ts-pulsar wrote:
It's not that he got his dick sucked (He gets +1 for that) it's that he lied to everyone in the country about it that pisses people off. He purgered himself in front of congress and got away with it. Many politicians have been hung out to dry for less.
Not to mention his push for the Federal AW ban which is what I really dislike the man for.
Oh and I can't forget Waco, boy did his administration fuck that up.
Actually other than those three things (and his Intelligence cuts, but that was just a sign of the times, the Soviet union was gone, why did we need such a large military and intelligence service anymore?) I think he wasn't really that bad. He didn't really do much of anything as a president, he just kind of sat back and enjoyed the ride (take that any way you want).
Aye. By pulling TFR out of Somalia, he showed our enemies that if you kill a few of our soldiers, we'll run away and never come back. Definately not handled as well as the PR could have been. We never even got Aidid after that.Kmarion wrote:

Pulling out of Somalia cannot be considered a bad move. What would've been achieved by staying there? More lost American lives and more cost to the American taxpayer, that's about it. Sounds like a great plan.DesertFox- wrote:

According to Black Hawk Down (the book, not the movie), the whole issue was his fault anyway for sending people in like that.Bertster7 wrote:

Sending people in the first place was a stupid idea, certainly. Don't send troops to Africa. It'll all go horribly wrong.Skorpy-chan wrote:

Indeed. Somalia was a humanitarian relief effort (millions were starving to death). US troops were there to take the lead in action under a UN security proposal. It wasn't about going after Aidid when we went in.Bertster7 wrote:
