#1 Despite the fact that the name, "Clinton" is not ONCE mentioned in this article, this piece certainly shows how the demand for an investigation has backfired on the Democrats.

Don't worry...I'm sure they'll manage to explain to us how Clinton didn't have enough time or information and Bush had plenty of both.

#3 Good point, B. The timeframe of "two and a half years" places it firmly in the middle of Clinton's second term.

Drawing on absolutely NO insight whatsoever, I predict the Donks will blame Republicans for Clinton's lack of action.

#4 This one really isn't a Bush-Clinton thing. I think it's a Rummy repelled our attack so on to the next. Let's bring down the intelligence community!!!

Just what our country needs; the CIA answering questions about why they didn't follow up an unexplained name and phone number that the Germans gave us with no othe informaiton.

I would have passed them back the Washington DC phone book and told the fuckers that one of the clowns in this book might be plotting something against the German Governemnt. If they asked for more help, I would have told them that we already vetted Jiffy Lube and Crispy Cream.

As Americans how can we continually buy this total baloney from the morons in our press. First the NYT wants us to help out the House of Saud with its ever diminishing oil supply and then they want us to beleive that intelligence community is incompetent because the Germans gave us just enough information on a terrorist to give him a crank phone call. What were we supposed to do, call him and tell him we were the pizza guys and needed directions including the country in order for us to deliver a pie? How were we supposed to recognize him once we pulled up with the Papa John's sign on the roof of our Vega? Oh, that's right; he's the guy with the AK blowing out our windshield.

Sorry, lost it there.
