#1 Clinton obviously misread that PDB; he read it as 'Operation Boink', then started his relationship with Monica...

#2 Clinton should have no problem remembering this; according to Senator Shrew, he was "obsessed" with stopping terrorism.

#3 Whenever he wanted to spend private time diddling an intern, he told Hillary "I'm going into a counter-terrorism meeting and can't be disturbed". THAT'S why she thinks he was obsessed

#4 This just makes me sad. To think a President would ignore this to such a degree.

#8 In the words of Hugh Hewitt in his morning blog post, summing up for Ms. Gorelick:

It's not a wall; I didn't build it; And besides, you built it first.

#9 I remember them finding plans to do a 9/11 style attack back in the late 90s. Agents in the Philipines found the plans. The planes were to hit the West Coast of the US, but by then they would be low on fuel. I guess Al Queda reconsidered the plans. Still, the plans were there so its hard to credit claims that nobody thought of it.

Heck, Tom Clancy thought of it in DEBT of HONOR.
