The only rope I am on is the one gradually forming around Georgie's neckbone, Dick.

There was a threat in '98. There was no threat in 2001-2.

Why do you not see the difference in your blind-eyed, misguided lust for parallels with Clinton? Why are you desperate to find someone to blame Bush's follies on, other than Bush himself? Are you seriously proposing that Clinton's information is to blame for Bush's irresponsibility? Isn't that kinda nutty? Clinton did not take military action against Iraq AFAIK, aside from the no-fly zone and taking out an occasional anti-aircraft station. I may be wrong about that.

As I recall, Clinton ALSO suggested to Bush that Osama bin Laden was a serious threat. That must be why 9-11 was such a surprise.
