Clinton was very early on aware of the problem of international terrorism.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Clinton himself acted in ways which increased the threat of terror.
What happened to the Bush Administration regarding terrorism is that they regarded it as a secondary issue, and associated with Clinton. One of those Clinton issues.
Before 9/11, absolutely, there were concerns about terrorism; but the world fundamentally changed.
Clinton saw himself much more as the steward of alliances and of consensus that moved in the right direction. He didn't see himself as someone who could change the overall thrust, I think, of global policy.
Most people who aspire to be president don't have a foreign policy and national security background. The exception was certainly Hillary Clinton.
I've always believed everything was about protecting the Clinton power structure and anyone would be sacrificed who got in the way of that.
As best I can tell there was no advance warning of the attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, which was the first significant foreign terrorist activity in the U.S. No tip-offs that it was coming.
Ms. Clinton, like the Obama administration more broadly, believes that appeasing Islamists... promotes peace and stability.
The country was not focused on terrorism before September 11th.
Why did the Clinton Administration wait from 1995 to 1998 to tighten security and bolster counterintelligence at U.S. weapons labs?
