Politics: Onward from New Hampshire

[Atticus Grinch]

So I've been reading a few news articles about the 9/11 testimony, and this is what I interpret Rumsfeld to be saying:

(1) Clinton knew AQ was a threat, but did nothing substantive and blew four opportunities between December 1998 to July 1999 to smoke OBL because of fear of UAE civilian casualties (i.e., Clinton/Albright/Cohen were pussies).

(2) If Clinton had done something about AQ before 1/2001, 9/11 would never have happened (this is an implication, but a fair one, I gather).

(3) In the months preceding 9/11 (read: anytime after inauguration), nothing could have stopped 9/11 --- not bombing AQ camps, not invading Afghanistan, not even icing bin Laden.
