Hold up your claim was that there were no homeland attacks under Clinton and that is clearly wrong. Why didn't Clinton prevent the 93 attack? If you expect Bush to have prevented 9/11 then you surely expect the same from Clinton? Yes?

Actually the intelligence did not suggest that at all. Almost every single one of the claims made during the State of the Union in 2003 and before the Untied Nations came from one single solitary source aka Curveball who fabricated everything and whom the CIA blatently told Bush, Rumself, Cheney that they did not consider him credible. Han's Blix the weapons inspector found aboslutely nothing in Iraq in the months before the war and pleaded for more time but Bush refused. There was incredible doubt to every mushroom cloud fear mongoring statement made by the administration, but they had made up their minds long ago and went any not because of a threat, but because of neoconservative ideology.

Clinton didn't receive a PDB entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside US"

We still have freedom to worship as we want to and don't have to mingle with those we don't choose to mingle with. I have no complaints. Right this minute, life is good.
Oh my. Better off financially? Where ya been?

Sorry but you are wrong. Even through the end of Clintons term he believed that SH had WMD's as did many including others.

SH was a master at smoke and mirrors. He told the inspectors he did not have WMD's but told his people and Iran he did. I do think we rushed into Iraq but I also think SH was playing games.

Oh and we did find chemicals for WMD's in Iraq. To me that counts.

No Clinton was offered OBL on a silver platter and turned it down. So if you want to blame anyone blame Clinton because he could have had him way before 9/11

We found nothing of any significance that even remotely posed any threat at all. Every single justification for war has been proven wrong. Period!
