"Colonel Shaffer said in an interview on Monday night that the small, highly classified intelligence program, known as Able Danger, had identified the terrorist ringleader, Mohamed Atta, and three other future hijackers by name by mid-2000, and tried to arrange a meeting that summer with agents of the Washington field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to share its information. But he said military lawyers forced members of the intelligence program to cancel three scheduled meetings with the F.B.I. at the last minute, which left the bureau without information that Colonel Shaffer said might have led to Mr. Atta and the other terrorists while the Sept. 11 attacks were still being planned. 'I was at the point of near insubordination over the fact that this was something important, that this was something that should have been pursued,' Colonel Shaffer said of his efforts to get the evidence from the intelligence program to the F.B.I. in 2000 and early 2001."

Rush is trying to say, of course, that it is Clinton's fault that Col. Shaffer was not able to prevent the September 11th attacks. As usual with these dirtballs, they can't defend Bush, so they drag out the carcass of Bill Clinton to kick around.

Firstly, Bill Clinton is the ONLY President who struck Bin Laden before 9/11.
Secondly, Richard Clarke told Condi Rice that they were going to spend more time on Bin Laden than on anything else.
Thirdly, once the MBA President stole the election and took over, the same problems existed as were around before. Remember, Shaffer is still trying to get the intelligence agencies to talk to one another in 2001. Bill Clinton isn't president any more.
Fourthly, these fascist morons keep saying that Bill Clinton saw terrorism as a law enforcement issue, while the C Student sees it as a military issue. Well, let's see....the British dealt with the American Revolution as a military issue. Russia is dealing with Chechnya as a military issue, Israel deals with Islamic Jihad as a military issue....and Britain dealt with Northern Ireland as a law enforcement issue.

Which one worked?
