"Morris claimed "9-11 happened" because Clinton treated '93 WTC bombing as a crime"
In a different universe that Republicans live in, Fox News is spreading the lie that 9-11 is Bill Clinton's fault, and implying that criminally charging terrorist suspects is a weakness by the Obama administration.

http://mediamatters.org/research/201001050045



Attacking President Obama for indicting alleged terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab in civilian court, Dick Morris asserted that "the reason 9-11 happened is that Bill Clinton treated the '93 bombing of the Trade Center as a crime, not as an act of war." Morris' claim echoed Sean Hannity's previous suggestion that documents released during the trial of the 1993 bombing mastermind "tipped off" Osama bin Laden; in fact, Attorney General Eric Holder testified that this charge is based on "misinformation" because prosecutors had the power to request that such documents be protected from release.

1. So the attacks after 911 occurred
because Bush invaded Afghanistan and Iraq?

2. He also claimed
Lexington and Concord happened because the British treated the Boston Massacre as a crime, not an act of war.

3. Well, Dick
I don't think you had a problem with it when you were Clinton's adviser. If it was such a bad idea why did you wait so long to share your opinions - why you even claim credit for helping Clinton win a second term. That was in 1996 - two years after the trial. Are you just a whore who does or says whatever you think will make you the most money? I'm sorry, that was really low. I shouldn't insult those who engage in the profession of prostitution.

8. The CIA let Omar Abdel-Rahman in
The State Department had Omar Abdel-Rahman on a terrorist list to not enter the country, but the CIA got him a visa anyhow. Then he was instrumental in the 1993 attack from within the USA. I believe the investigations showed him the CIA gave Abdel-Rahman the visas via Sudan, don't know why not through Egypt.

So who pays for all of this? His lawyer Lynne Stewart. He gets tried after all of this and they not only lock him up, but lock her up. Some high court was not happy with the sentence length she got so they're reviewing it to give this old lady more time. Liberals shake their head approvingly.

9. So ... Faux News is in the business of hiring criminals?
I mean, hiring a prostitute is a crime, right? (apparently, it was when Springer wrote his infamous check ...)
