It's Clinton's fault...again.
Just listening to some idiot from the Reagan admin on MSGOP and he's saying how Clinton should have "institutionalized" his response to the Millennium terror warnings.

You know, leave instructions for clueless & co in the event of alarming intel: Don't go on vacation, have high level meetings on a regular basis, ask questions.

This is all getting a bit bizarre...head hurts...gaslighting...aaargh.

1. jeez, how many warnings did the Bush admin NEED??
Hart/Rudman, Berger, Clarke, Albright, etc, etc etc...

funny how the wingnuts seem to think Clinton could've nabbed Osama with no problem had he just tried harder, but 3 years later Bush still can't get him even with a full war on to find him....

2. Ok... if clinton was wrong...
... then why didn't the "right" GOP install this "institutionalized" response in January 2001?

5. B/c Clinton was supposed to do it for them..
pretty complicated stuff: When the senior terrorism officials and the CIA are screaming bloody murder about an imminent terrorist attack, DO SOMETHING!

3. Stealing the position of president
has certain risks, doesn't it?

4. In other words, reagan flunky admits Clinton was correct
His (Clinton's) administration was successful relative to Millenium but didn't pass on the plan? Weird spin!

Actually mr reagan whore, bush and company knew all about potential terrorist activity. THEY NEEDED AN ATTACK to have a reason to activate the orders of cheney's energy task force - get oil fields, ensure big no bid contracts for halliburton, obfuscate issue of going to war - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Note to freepers - prove me wrong, have cheney release all information relative to his task force (not the abridged version).

7. Honestly, I don't think the freepers would care if Bushco were
behind 9/11. Rush would feed them some bullshit and they would be right back to spewing about gay marriage.

6. I guess Clinton should have
made daily phone calls, and sent daily memos to bushie and the gang to tell them exactly how to handle the job. Not that the bushie gang would listen to anything Clinton had to say.

9. Yeah, Berger gave unprecedented assistance during the
transition period, but apparently extensive followup was required.

8. clinton was supposed to know that bush
was going to be selected and compensate, like everyone else in the whole fuckin world has, for his short comings.
which apparently are innumerable.
there, it's clintons fault for not being prescient as well.
you know their going to say it at some point -- might as well get it over with.
