Since he was only in office 8 months when it happened. And the USS Cole was on his (clintons) watch and he had Bin Laden in his sights a few times and did nothing. But , did Bush blame Clinton for this no. HE took the high road and did what had to be done. Unlike the Blamer in chief we have in office now!

If you ever made a promise that you wouldn't post here again until after a nationally prominent Republican conservative took responsibility for some mistake, we would never hear from you again.

Like hell. Clinton gave clear warning to Bush concerning Bin Laden. And people in Bush's administration made a joke about "Clinton's obsession with Bin Laden". A very correct obsession.
 
Still wonder why Clinton wouldn't give the go-ahead to kill him when the CIA had him the FIRST time, after the FIRST WTC bombing.
 
He should of blamed Clinton..since he was the one who let him go when he had a chance to get him..

But Bush acted like a President and leader, not like another we have seen.

you have proof of this I take it?
 
It was partly Clinton's fault.chief justice Jamie gorelick closed the wall of Intel sharing between the FBI and CIA for privacy reasons
 
That was approved and under his watch.plus Clinton and Janet Reno had the chance to get binladen in 98,when Sudan arrested him and held him fir the us,they said he was a hot potato.

I remember it differently. Several times during depositions during the investigations, I heard "91 days" over and over again. Besides the failure to read and react to the PDB indicating the attack was coming was not something that lent itself to shifting blame downward.

"Did Bush blame Clinton for this"? Yes he did....as did Righties in general.

Iraq war my biggest regret, Bush admits

Suzanne Goldenberg in Washington
The Guardian, Tuesday 2 December 2008

George Bush, in a moment of reflection ahead of his departure from the White House, last night admitted that the decision to go to war against Saddam Hussein on the basis of flawed intelligence was the biggest regret of his presidency. The acknowledgment marks the first time that Bush has publicly expressed doubts about his rationale for going to war on Iraq.

*yawn* it would be really nice if you educated yourself.

After U.S. missile strikes on his base in Afghanistan in 1998, bin Laden told followers he wanted to retaliate in Washington, according to a -- -- service.

An Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ) operative told - - service at the same time that bin Laden was planning to exploit the operative's access to the U.S. to mount a terrorist strike.

The millennium plotting in Canada in 1999 may have been part of bin Laden's first serious attempt to implement a terrorist strike in the U.S.

Convicted plotter Ahmed Ressam has told the FBI that he conceived the idea to attack Los Angeles International Airport himself, but that in ---, Laden lieutenant Abu Zubaydah encouraged him and helped facilitate the operation. Ressam also said that in 1998 Abu Zubaydah was planning his own U.S. attack.

Ressam says bin Laden was aware of the Los Angeles operation. Although Bin Laden has not succeeded, his attacks against the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 demonstrate that he prepares operations years in advance and is not deterred by setbacks. Bin Laden associates surveyed our embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam as early as 1993, and some members of the Nairobi cell planning the bombings were arrested and deported in 1997.

Al Qaeda members -- including some who are U.S. citizens -- have resided in or traveled to the U.S. for years, and the group apparently maintains a support structure that could aid attacks.

Two al-Qaeda members found guilty in the conspiracy to bomb our embassies in East Africa were U.S. citizens, and a senior EIJ member lived in California in the mid-1990s.

A clandestine source said in 1998 that a bin Laden cell in New York was recruiting Muslim-American youth for attacks.

We have not been able to corroborate some of the more sensational threat reporting, such as that from a ---- service in 1998 saying that Bin Laden wanted to hijack a U.S. aircraft to gain the release of "Blind Sheikh" Omar Abdel Rahman and other U.S.-held extremists.

Nevertheless, FBI information since that time indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York.

The FBI is conducting approximately 70 full-field investigations throughout the U.S. that it considers bin Laden-related. CIA and the FBI are investigating a call to our embassy in the UAE in May saying that a group or bin Laden supporters was in the U.S. planning attacks with explosives.

We’ve known for years now that George W. Bush received a presidential daily briefing on Aug. 6, 2001, in which he was warned: “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” We’ve known for almost as long that Bush went fishing afterward.

What we didn’t know is what happened in between the briefing and the fishing, and now Suskind is here to tell us. Bush listened to the briefing, Suskind says, then told the CIA briefer: “All right. You’ve covered your ass, now.”
