It is documented widespread common knowledge that Bush received pre-9/11 warnings - which the right doesn't like to hear about. Therefore, I have no doubt that the right will be working overtime trying to make a case that Obama received pre-4/15 warnings - even if they have to fabricate them. It'll be like endless Ben Ghazi...
Already is news which I think you are trying to defuse. IT IS REPORTED, that another country warned us about the older brother and the FBI investigated him. They cleared him. Now if you wish to make an issue out of Bush receiving non-definite threats and want to make some sort of issue out of that how about the Obama administration being warned about the EXACT perpetrator and clearing him???? How about turn about fair play?

I do not understand what you are trying to do here. I am at a loss to be honest.
If you want to attach blame then you must do so in manner which takes everything into account.
The Sudanese government offered to hand over bin Laden to the United States, just as it had handed over Carlos the Jackal to the French in 1994. The Sudanese also offered to provide the United States with a massive intelligence file on al-Qaidas operations in Sudan and around the world. Astonishingly, the Clinton administration turned the offer down. They argued that there was no solid legal proof to indict bin Laden in the United States. This was despite the fact that internal government documents had fingered bin Laden for ties to the first WTC bombing, the murders in Mogadishu and the 1992 bombing of a hotel in Aden, Yemen. For all this, the administration still viewed al-Qaida as a matter for domestic civil and criminal law enforcement.

So what is it here? Can we say this was all Clinton's fault? What? What is it that you want? To make Bush look bad because it seems as if our government dropped the ball in some capicity during this Boston terrorist attack?
The truth of the matter is THEY ARE ALL Culpable in some manner and given Clinton and company let him go on several occasions I could argue much of lot of the blame belongs at his feet and it has nothing to do with partisan hackery. Bush and company are at fault too, were they warned about planes and should have tightened security, your damn right they should have. The same way Obama is as well to some extent given this is his administration. We are unaware of a lot of facts at this point though.
This gotcha shit is ridiculous for it does not allow some people who are far left or far right to see what their partys faults are. It allows them to excuse and point the finger at the opposite party instead of demanding the job be done by whoever is in charge no matter their political persuasion.
