<p>I think there is plenty of evidence that supports the notion that the Clinton Administration was asleep at the switch when it came to terrorism, and that their weak handling of numerous situations contributed to the chain of events that led to 9/11.</p>
<p>That said, while I would love to see Madeligne Albright and others strung up for being stupid and a nearly (if not actually) traitorous, I think we should remember that the vermin at the controls of those planes that morning would have struck if we had George Washington’s administration before 2000 and Abraham Lincoln’s after. The enemy here are the TERRORISTS.</p>
<p>That one side of the political spectrum seems to be hell-bent on helping the enemy is a post-9/11 phenomenon. We can accuse the pre-9/11 people of ineptness, but to BLAME them? Too much of a leap of logic (more like faith) for me. Hell, we could go all the way back to the commission that decimated the CIA back in the 1970’s, and to Jimmy Carter (who let this entire little ball get rolling in the first place). While we’re at it, let’s blame Abraham and Sarah.</p>
<p>When you throw the usual politics into the debate mix, it almost makes you wish that the next big attack would take out a joint session of Congress so we could get some REAL fresh blood up there, rather than the usual incumbants and operatives from BOTH parties.</p>
<p>ETA: Oh, and I have not forgotten. I lost the skyline of my home town that morning. I lost a former XO in the Pentagon. I am fortunate that that’s as far as the incident affected me personally, but I will not forget, I will not forgive, nor will I tolerate surrender.</p>
<p>RIP, XO. You were one of the good ones. :(</p>
