Here's a nice blurb from the article -
"Even now, former aides to Clinton are fighting a rear-guard action against accusations that they did too little too late to stop Osama bin Laden as he ramped up his global jihad against America. The papers these days are full of stories from the Clinton era about what was, or was not, done to make the country more secure — or to capture or kill bin Laden and his terrorist cells.
"As usual, The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward got the goods, quoting the lament of a top Clinton administration defense official: “I wish we’d recognized it then” — the Bin Laden threat — “and started the campaign that they have started now. That’s my main regret. In hindsight, we were at war.”
"Well, duh. Had Gore won, many of those now defending their past efforts — or lack of them — would still be in place, part of what inevitably (if unfairly) would have been seen as the third term of “Clinton-Gore.” To be sure, transition to an “All-Al” government would have been under way by Labor Day, but probably not complete, given the slow, contentious pace of nominations on the Hill. “We would have had a ton of Clinton folks to deal with,” said a former Gore adviser, “and they would have been part of the problem.”"
Gee, folks, 6000 Americans die and it's still all about 'them'!
