The US Embassies? This article was written the day after Clinton
retaliated. Notice any familiar names?

And, the Republican response to this retaliation? Remember accusations of
"wag the dog"?

Uh, those involved with the first WTC attack are now in jail.

"In two separate jury trials in Manhattan federal court, half a dozen men were
later convicted of direct roles in the bombing. Mamed Salameh, Ahmad Ajaj,
Mahmud Abouhalima and Nidal Ayyad were found guilty in March 1994.

In November 1997, Ramzi Yousef was convicted of masterminding the plot,
and Eyad Ismoil was convicted for driving the rented Ryder truck into the
garage.

Each man was sentenced to 240 years in prison, or one year for every year
of expected life they deprived their victims."

Oh, and the USS Cole? That happened on Oct. 12, 2000, the month before
GWB was elected. Rather than be concerned with the last two months of
Clinton's term, a fairer question would be what did GWB do about in the
year he had before 9/11?
