Yes, absolutely.
My favorite passtime is listening to the congressional hearings on C-Span – I remember (9/11 commission) that EVERYONE who worked and knew Clinton said he kept his finger on the pulse of terrorism – did more work/briefings before breakfast in one morning than Bush does in a week. Considering that the first World Trade Center bombing occured just a month after his inauguration in 1993.
There was plenty of warning that OBL was planning an attack inside the US and it wouldn’t have taken a genius to figure out how it might and did play out. Just one memo should have been enough to put the country on high alert; like this one maybe? http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0409041pdb1.html
Would you agree that it is one thing to protect our mainland against terrorist attacks vs worldwide attacks? Being attacked world wide will always be a risk and would not necessairly hold a president accountable for incidents where we really can not cover our exposure.

9/11 couldn’t have happened had Clinton taken Laden in to custody when the Sudan offered him to us.
Clinton only met with the CIA director once the entire 8 years he was in office. He was notorious in his lack of regards for foreign policy. He was also notorious for his work habits, sleeping late, being late to meetings, disorganized etc.
Clinton got elected twice with less then 50% of the vote. His VP couldn’t get elected, his wife couldn’t get elected. Master politician? Hell no. Master Joke is more like it.
Clinton hasn’t done squat except get elected. Check out Arkansas, he left them at number 48-50 in everything.
Anyone who thinks Clinton did a good job is simply misinformed.
