Okay, let me see if I understand this.

So, the guy that got the warning, and was able to act before the violence escalated is good. The guy who was in office when it happened is bad. Got it. Makes total sense.
And the cop who is on the scene when the bomb goes off is guilty of negligence, but the cop who got the bomb threat and knew where the bombers were is just doing his job.
Couldn't be clearer.

There were also a lot fewer dead Afghan and Iraqi civilains and a lot fewer dead American soldiers when Clinton left office than there are now, as well. Take that for what you will, I guess.

Well, maybe Afghans. But you're right, better to be the pacifist appeasers that marked Clinton's entire tenure. The time when bin Laden called us "paper tigers" and urged attacks with no fear of retribution. The time of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis starving and dying due to UN sanctions and despotic rule. Sanctions and rule that could have been eliminated if but one country refused to tolerate any more obfuscation and stalling.
Yea, good times... good times...
