I don't think you can just turn-off a criminal trial where you are the prosecuted -- even if it is a political game.
bin Ladin and al-Qaeda should have been eliminated or rendered powerless by Clinton (assuming he wanted this result). Could the Military and the CIA have acted alone without presidential approval toward actions to terminate them with prejudice? I don't think that the final order would work that way ? Not sure.
I recall not much of US policy being enacted during Clinton's impeachment proceedings.
I would like to place blame somewhere because 9/11 occurred in the first year of GW Bush's presidency before he got a handle on things whether we agree on his policy decisions or not. I think shit-for-brains Bush was just a dumb-shit oblivious to the threat while Clinton was well aware of it but didn't act -- why?
