Probably wouldn't even add up to a percentage point to the mass murder at the twin towers. Did you have any family members in the buildings- I did. 9-11 is more then a scuff on his record. Predidents can't afford to drop the ball.

On 26 February 1993, a car loaded with 1,200 pounds of explosives blew up in a parking garage under the World Trade Center, killing six people and injuring about a thousand others.
On 13 November 1995, a bomb was set off in a van parked in front of an American-run military training center in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh, killing five Americans and two Indians.
On 25 June 1996, a booby-trapped truck loaded with 5,000 pounds of explosives was exploded outside the Khobar Towers apartment complex which housed United States military personnel in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, killing nineteen Americans and wounding about three hundred others.
On 7 August 1998, powerful car bombs exploded minutes apart outside the United States embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killing 224 people and wounding about 5,000 others.
On 12 October 2000, two suicide bombers detonated an explosives-laden skiff next to the USS Cole while it was refueling in Aden, Yemen, blasting a hole in the ship that killed 17 sailors and injured 37 others.
Here are just a few for you during Clinton's watch. These do not even include the countless others that occured before Clinton. Now maybe you don't count these because they were not civilian lives on American soil, but they were terrorist attacks aimed at Americans. I am very sorry that you had a loved one in the building that day, I truly am. But I firmly believe the reason it happened is because "we" were such pussies for so long. We just let them keep bombing our shit whenever they felt the urge. "We" would then say "Oh please Mr. Terrorist, don't do that again!" If you want to place blame, place it at the feet of those sick fuckers that flew the plane. Bush was in office for 7 FUCKING MONTHS!! If there had been all this "evidence" out there, shouldn't someone else have seen it as well? At least he is standing up for this country!
