Losing Bin Laden: How Bill Clinton's Failures Unleashed Global Terror

It does not take too much of a stretch of an imagination to think that a president would be consumed with his own scandals to avoid confronting a brewing problem elsewhere. I am a political junkie and have a good feel for politcal pragmatism. This account is very reasonable considering Clinton's track record. No person could objectively give this book a 1 star. Buy the book and get ready to get pissed off at your government.

In this era of "cookie-cutter protest", it is refreshing to find some actual evidence to support a theorem as opposed to the emotional, baseless attacks that I read daily in the news. While it may be appealing to pin 9/11 on a single administration, I believe the most relevant quote is the one I heard long ago in an effort to detract from President Reagan's victory over Communism, (I paraphrase) "Crediting President Reagan with the fall of Communism is like crediting a man for the sunset because if happened while he was around". The point is, the makings of 9/11 were in the works long before the 7 months President Bush was in office. Let's use some objectivity here. I believe in truth, not "partisian"(sic)ship. Please exercise some independent thought and weigh the evidence here.

Nowhere in the blurb for this book is the author identified as an investigative reporter for a publication of note. But the reviews are instructive, since they come from Forbes and the Washington Times, two of the prime outlets for neocon propaganda. Skip it.

You have to be joking. Sources have not been tested, allegations are not substantiated. History is being bent here. Compare this with Clarke's book. Republican funded trash!!!!!

This book brings makes a couple of interesting points, but leaves out facts and invents too much.

All of Mr Miniter's assertions are one by one being proven true. The international community reasserts that Bin Laden was offered to the Clinton Administration by 3 separate countries, not once, not twice, but 12 times. Had Mr. Clinton done his job, we might have averted a lot of pain and suffering for Americans.

It is unfortunate that an "investigative journalist" would fail to do any actual investigation into the facts. The author cites claims (later acknowledged as false even by the current Bush Administration) from a businessman, who gave the Clinton Administration false information in an effort to further his international business with the Sudan. He also ignores various attempts on the part of the Clinton Administration to capture of kill Osama bin Laden. I would recommend passing up this book in favor of a less error-prone and partisian book.

This book is full of dis-information and wishful thinking. It is a very irresponsable book....To bad it might be a great fiction book but it was not truthful It belongs in fiction...The facts and reporting are fiction... It is a waste of time....These charges have been disproved....total waste of time unless you are not interested in the truth....

THIS IS RESEARCHED VERY WELL. DISPELLS SOME MYTHS BOTH GOOD AND BAD. SHOWS THE INCOMPETENT PART OF PRESIDENT CLINTON. I WAS FINALLY GIVEN THE FACTS THAT I COULDN'T FIND THAT SUPPORTED MY FEELINGS.

I was disappointed the writer couldn't make a more coherent case about the misadventures of Bill Clinton. Routinely, we are given far better accounts of Bill Clinton's dasterdly deeds, by high roaders at Fox news. I was really disapponting this book was little more than a rehash of the daily rantings of historical luminaries. i.e. Mesrs. Hannity, O'Riley and other pulpfiction bananarepublicans. On the entertaining side, the book is refreshingly funny, to see how flailingly desparate the writer does try to deflect us from the cronyism, and self-interested missmanagement of the current 3rd stringers, Save your book credit!
