Just For The Record...
"No al Qaeda plan was turned over to the new administration." - Condoleezza Rice, March 22, 2004
"We urgently need such a Principals level review on the al Qida network." - Richard Clarke, memo to Condoleezza Rice on January 25, 2001.
"Toward that end, the United States has developed a comprehensive and coordinated strategy that employs a variety of tools, including: diplomacy, covert action, public information and media, law enforcement, intelligence collection, foreign assistance, financial regulation enforcement, and military means to affect al Qida to its core." - "Strategy for Eliminating the Threat From the Jihadist Networks of al Qida: Status and Prospects" - document attached to that January 25, 2001 memo.
Read the actual documents and weep. I highly recommend the "Strategy" document for the next time some right-winger tries to tell you that Clinton did nothing about al Qaeda.
