http://www.thefence.com/pages/Pontifications/Pontification.asp?PontificationId=281Former National Security Advisor Samuel "Sandy" Berger's sworn testimony explodes hypocritical Republican claims that President Clinton "did nothing" against bin Laden. The Clinton Administration might have caught or killed bin Laden if the GOP hadn't helped al Qaeda. Top GOP leaders such as Sen. Phil Gramm, then-Senate Leader Trent Lott and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay blocked all of Clinton's anti-terror efforts.
When President Clinton ordered the attacks against al Qaeda, Republicans attacked Clinton. They screamed "wag the dog" and whined that terrorism wasn't a real issue. Clinton ordered CIA to kill or capture bin Laden. Clinton's people caught the WTC93 bombers and Khobar Towers bombers. They attacked Osama Bin Laden and al Qaeda in Afghanistan after their attack on African embassies, but Republicans blocked further anti-terror actions when they accused President Clinton of "wagging the dog."
