Okay, let's look at that one. At the time that Ken Star was questioning Clinton about blow jobs, Clinton and his team were planning and launching attacks on Al Qaeda Targets in Afghanistan and Sudan.
And the Republican response was to call it a "Wag the Dog*" attack and mock the facility in Sudan as an "Aspirin Factory" (even though it was in fact producing nerve gas for Al Qaeda)
* Note,= The term Wag the Dog comes from a 1997 film starring Robert DeNiro and the late Anne Heche where a fake war is made up to cover up for a sexual scandal.
So it seems to me that Bill was taking Bin Laden seriously.
Meanwhile, Bush got a briefing from the CIA a month before 9/11, which specifically mentioned aircraft hijackings as a possibility, and his response was, "Well, you covered your ass" and went fishing.
The 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks is a reminder of the Bush administration’s many missteps, writes Eric Alterman.
