There are clear actions that could have been taken and policies that could have been pursued to avoid the attacks on our country. However, these signs were misunderstood, ignored, and/or minimized.
Osama bin Laden was clearly a foe of America up until the day a U.S. Navy SEAL team assassinated him in Pakistan.
Bin Laden had a clear and consistent message that he let the world know explicitly.
With that in mind, it is important to take a step back to the beginning of the Clinton administration.
In 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed by an Islamist extremist group with clear ties to Bin Laden, and this fact was recorded and subsequently led to the National Intelligence Estimate two years later in 1995, which noted that a group of terrorists who “lacked strong organization but rather loose affiliations” could be a threat to national security interests (9/11 Commission Report, p. 341).
Again, these facts were seemingly ignored.
Another clear piece of intelligence of Bin Laden's intentions came in 1996, and this was the infamous fatwa. He also praised the 1992 bombing in Aden, and especially the 1993 firefight in Somalia resulting in Americans leaving “the area carrying disappointment, humiliation, defeat, and dead” (9/11 Commission Report, p. 48).
So why didn't Clinton stop Bin Laden?
