President Bill Clinton Was Responsible For 9/11 :: essays research papers

  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  The Clinton administration was at fault for the 9/11 attacks. During the course of his presidency, Bill Clinton had more than a single chance to catch those responsible for the 9/11 tragedy. During his term of 8 years, Clinton had seen a fair share of terrorist attacks, all of which were quickly forgotten. Clinton not only sparked the attack on the World Trade Center, but he may very well have sparked hatred towards the United States by many of the Middle Eastern countries.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  In 1993, the World Trade Center was attacked from the basement floor by a bomb in a truck. â€Å"Six people were killed, while one thousand were injured.† (A Synopsis: Clinton Set The Stage for 911) Bill Clinton, to involved with interns to investigate, did not do anything about the attack. Clinton did decide to investigate the event, only it was two years after it had happened. Now in 1995, investigators found that Usama Bin Laden had been in charge of the 1993 attack. Once the news was released about this information, the country of Sudan came to the United States telling us that they could get us Usama Bin Laden if we wanted to press charges against him. Bill Clinton was reported as saying â€Å"Usama Bin Laden is not a threat to the United States.† He was reported saying this in the year 1995, after he found out that Bin Laden was responsible for the acts. However, Clinton did take action in 1998, in which he bombed a Sudanese aspirin factory, wh ich he claimed held chemical weapons, on the eve of the Monica Lewinsky trial. This killed hundreds of innocent workers in the factory. â€Å"If any one act inspired hatred towards America, that was it.† (A Synopsis: Clinton Set the Stage for 911) With each terrorist attack, Clinton went before the American people on more than one occasion saying â€Å"those responsible would be hunted down and punished†Ã¢â‚¬  (Sept. 11: Bill Clinton‘s Ultimate Legacy) However, which each terrorist attack, Clinton backed down, showing negligence towards himself and his administration. Another example of Clinton’s lack of knowledge in foreign affairs can be seen in Iraq. After the Bush administration defeated Hussein in 1991, he ordered that UN officials be stationed in Iraq to make sure that Hussein would be incapable of creating weapons of mass destruction. Under the Clinton administration, the UN officials were told to leave immediately, leaving Hussein to create weapons at his leisure.
