Was Bill Clinton responsible for this?

Bill Clinton was NOT responsible, the Arab terrorists are responsible for their actions.

Well, you seem to be confused. Clinton does indeed bear some responsibility for the atrocities of Sept. 11, 2001, but precisely because he "did his job" as you perceive it. In August 1998, Clinton ordered bombings in Afghanistan and the Sudan against targets identified by American intelligence services and cooperating governments in the Middle East as al Qaeda sites, as a tit-for-tat response to bombings of American embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and  Nairobi, Kenya, perpetrated by al Qaeda operatives. The attack on the U.S.S. Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden on Oct. 12, 2000, was in retaliation for the Clinton-ordered bombings in Sudan and Afghanistan. After the Cole incident made news, Clinton said on television "If, as it now appears, this was an act of terrorism, it was a despicable and cowardly act. We will find out who was responsible and hold them accountable." The investigation was not completed until after the November 2000 election resulted (in December) in George W. Bush being declared the winner. The final report, issued on Jan. 19, 2001, (the day before Bush took office) blamed al Qaeda, and indeed the Yemeni government did sentence in 2004 two of the men convicted in the attack to die. \nFor Clinton to take such provocative action as ordering a major strike against bin Laden and al Qaeda on his last day in office would indeed have unexpected, but most Americans (and other observers) would have criticized Clinton for saddling Bush with a major crisis before Bush even knew where the paper clips was stored in the Oval Office. \nYou refer to Clinton's pleasure, undoubtedly a sneering reference to Clinton's dalliance with Monica Lewinsky. If you check, you will find that those assignations took place in 1995, 1996 and 1997, before the al Qaeda threat became known to American analysts. Indeed, bin Laden issued his now-famous fatwa calling for the death of Americans on Feb. 23, 1998, and word of threat did not reach the higher echelons of American intelligence operators until March 1998. Even so, the threat was not taken seriously until after the bombings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam the following summer.\n\nHowever, you are right when you say that someone did die. Many thousands have died throughout the past 60 years of American foreign policy initiatives to subjugate the Muslim Middle East to American domination. Both major American political parties can share in the blame for this, to their everlasting shame. It is time to admit that American foreign policy has been misguided, for the United States to get its troops out of the Middle East, to stop relying upon Middle Eastern oil for Western energy needs and to cease bankrolling Israel's policies of bullying its neighbors as well.\n\nIf you count all the people who have died as a result of the U.S. actions or the actions of despotic Arab regimes propped up by American military and financial aid to oppress their populations while allowing American exploitation of their resources, it is clear that bin Laden and his gang are way behind the American gang in terms of "kills scored." Unless you want them to catch up, perhaps it would be best to call the whole gang war off.

Of course he wasn't responsible.  Give me a break- you people will blame everything on President Bush, whether it was his fault or not.\n\nHe could have been down there driving the school buses himself, and you all would have screamed it was a photo op.

Bill Clinton? Is that you?

Bill Clinton's real father will probably forever remain unknown.\n\nAccording to one rumor, he is the biological son of one of the Rockefellers. \n\nWho knows and who really cares?

yes he and all his puppets took a thumpin and he is mostly responsible for his failed administration.he thought he was a ruler of the world and was beyond rules or laws.the American people took him down off his high horse and i praise them for it because it had to be done.now let's hope we see some investigations so we can find out just what the hell they were doing,because we know they weren't doing anything for this country.

I think that the reality of it all is that no one wants to take the blame. Despite the fair idea of "If we blame Clinton for Rwanda, you blame Bush for Sudan", everyone seems to believe that, contrary to popular belief, Clinton hasn't NOT been in the White House.\n\nMy stand is that, when something like this is going on, it's terrorism. It's genocide. When someone stockpiles weapons of mass destruction, it's terrorism. We have one of the strongest armies in all of the free world, if we're going to be the police of the World, let's do it right!

here is the cont. i found on the internet:\n\n\nAll he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time. "No, I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day," commented George.\n\nThe devil opened a third door. In it, Bush saw Bill Clinton, lying on the floor with his arms staked over his head, and his legs staked in a spread eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. Bush took this in disbelief and finally said, "Yea, I can handle this." The devil smiled and said "OK, Monica, you're free to go."\n\nThank you, I'm here all day!!\n \n\n^_^

Fishy, yes.  Also inevitable.  Oversight and accountability are clearly not tolerated by this administration.  The guy should have known better than to actually do his job!

Let's think about this a little bit...how long do you think that it would have taken anyone to plan out an attack like that. Think about how many people would have to be involved. I don't think that Bush could have done it in the amount of time that he was president. If you want to believe it was our own government that was involved I would have to start looking at the Clinton administration or administrations preceding that. That doesn't seem to work!\n\nCome on people! There are terrorists out there that want us dead. Why is that so hard to understand. Oh yeah and for those people that sit there and accuse Bush for 9/11 and then sit there and talk about how stupid he is, I think that you need to pick one...because those two ideas do not work together!

Wake up people.  The World Trade Center was bombed for the first time when Bill Clinton was in office.  Were you born in 1999 or something?  We did absolutely nothing about that.  The USS Cole (watch your spelling, hdchackz) was bombed on Clinton's watch - we did nothing.  9/11 happened less than 8 months after Bush took the oath.  It was in the works long before that - during Clinton's watch.  Don't try and blame Bush for that one either.

Yeah, and maybe Bill Clinton didn't have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky.

Yeah, I agree totally, but he should have been taken care of by the jackass Clinton. then we wouldn't have to worry about him now.

If there is anyone to blame for 6/11, it is Bill Clinton. So much has been written about his failure in securing this country, that it would almost be in bad taste to keep beating on the guy.  This man was a dismal failure when it came to doing anything that required even the minimum amount of courage. I can recount each and everyone of his missteps, beginning with Somalia, the first WTC bombing, the Saudi Arabia attacks, the two embassy attacks, the USS Cole attack, the failure to capture bin Laden when we had the chance.\nHow can anyone with half a brain say this man was a good president?  How can anyone say this president was a good man?  And to think there are people out there that would even consider another Clinton in the White House.  God help us if that ever happens!

Anyone remember Bill and Hillary Clinton and White Water? Or Bill and Hillary Clinton and the FBI Filegate? Or Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Travelgate scandal? Or Bill Clinton and his alleged rapes in Arkansas? Or Bill Clinton lying under oath?\n\nGet the picture? Anyone can make an argument against someone they disagree with. You might elicit a better response with honest debate if your question didn't start out biased.

I'd like to see Bill Clinton get it. I think he's making a play for it. I think it would give more credence to the organization.
