Clinton had a chance to get him, and the Saudi's refused to nab him. That's not Clinton's fault.

You think they had all the logistics down in 8 months while GW was President to do 9/11? Think again...... It started years before.
9/11 logistics probably started during Clinton's administration, but it was long before him that the whole idea started.

Really, nobody considered what they did to be something that could happen. Not Bush, not Clinton, not Bush I, not Reagan, etc.

I really don't think it mattered who was in office or what they might have tried to prevent it. If they really want to do it, they could...and still could. Hmmm...let's say someone has an asthma inhaler. Do they check to make sure the real stuff is inside? There's a lot of stuff that seems innocuous to us that could easily be brandished as a weapon.
