Clinton's al Qaeda legacy

The Washington Times:

". . .In an interview yesterday with the Washington Times, Mr. (Mansoor) Ijaz summarized his view of the Clinton administration's culpability regarding September 11. 'I said then as I say now: Bill Clinton's inability to understand what was fueling the rise of bin Laden as a phenomenon — not as an individual — was the greatest U.S. foreign policy failure of the last half-century. It has affected hundreds of millions worldwide. Even if we get him now, who will be the next bin Laden? There are many willing candidates standing in line. Islamic radicalism exists today because Clinton didn't dismantle al Qaeda when he had the chance.'

"With all this information in mind, there is one important question regarding Bill Clinton's claim that he warned Mr. Bush about the al Qaeda threat. If Mr. Clinton did believe bin Laden posed the most serious danger to America's security, why didn't he take the opportunities he had to stop him?"
