49. yes, he did, he warned us all
I well remember having a bit of a chuckle about Clinton's "hysteria" on this topic on many occasions, most notably when raising a glass to salute the new year of 2000. Of course, the fact that I could enjoy raising a glass and partying down in Vegas was due to the fact that Clinton had alerted the world and caused so many terrorists to be foiled before the party. But we all laughed. The terrorists did not seem quite believable then. There were claims that Clinton was nutty on the subject of bombing bin Laden and stories of aspirin factories being wrongfully attacked and all the rest of it -- even in the liberal press. Certainly, if it was in the newspapers and on TV, out there for the public to hear about, it should have been front and center on Gee Dubya's desk.

Apparently the Whistle Ass realized that we would keep laughing as long as we were kept safe, so he shrugged off the Aug. 6, 2001 memo and the rest of the warnings, not even mentioning a hint to the FAA. There is no justice under heaven, is all I can say on this matter.


i feel quite bad about how i laughed at clinton back in the day
