And the reason we were unaware of those plans was because Clinton allowed a 25% attrition rate at the CIA during his presidency. Many of the seasoned agents who resigned did so in protest to Clinton rules which severely limited who may be recruited as spies. Furthermore, following the 1993 WTC attack and all the attacks by the very same al Qaida in the following years, no effort was made to get agents or informants inside Afghanistan even though we knew much of the al Qaida organization, to include Bin Laden, was there.
Sure - and GW Bush as a DRUNK when he was in college (by his OWN ADMISSION) - but you want to KNOW something? We didn't ELECT a college student - not one that was falling down drunk nor one that was a radical. I don't think ANY adult would want to be judged by the dumb stuff they did when they were KIDS.

Thanks. I was going to mention that, too. Clinton changed the way the CIA could obtain information from informants. The CIA could no longer get info from informants who had a felony record. This severely hurt the effectiveness of the CIA and caused many agents to resign. al Qaeda was able to make many terrorist attacks throughout the '90s because of this. Thanks, William the Impeached!
Were is all the liberal media outrage over this???
Boy I remember all we ever heard was "Bush/haliberton" blah blah blah and in the end it was pretty much a non story but the hypocracy of the liberal left elite is sickening!
Liberals want a single-payer health care system - Obama didn't push for that.
Liberals want assault weapons banned - Obama didn't push for that.
Liberals want out of Afghanistan - Obama RAMPED up Afganistan.
Liberals want Cap and Trade - Obama's not pushing Cap and Trade.
Obama wants all those things. And would push for them if not for the Tea Party.
That why liberals have to call the Tea Party racist, stupid, etc....They are winning.

Then you aren't paying much attention. This isn't new and liberals have been voicing objection to this for years.
Psst, this pre-dates Obama -- unless you are daft enough to think that outsourcing jobs to China and India didn't occur before Jan. 20, 2009.
Another conservative outraged because liberals aren't as outraged as he wants them to be. Yawn.
So, you're okay with it?
