Attacks Never Forget The Actual History* of Events
President Clinton and President-Elect Bush meet for their "exit
interview," in a two-hour meeting. [CNN, 12/19/2000] Clinton gives Bush
his list of his top five priorities. At the top of the list is dealing
with Osama bin Laden. Clinton also discusses the tensions between
Pakistan and India, who are threatening each other with nuclear strikes;
the crisis in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine; he discusses
North Korea; and he discusses Iraq and Saddam Hussein. Bush shakes
Clinton’s hand after Clinton wraps up his presentation, and says,
"Thanks for your advice, Mr. President, but I think you’ve got your
priorities wrong. I’m putting Saddam at the top of the list." [Moore,
3/15/2004, pp. 16-17] Just one day before, CIA Director George Tenet had
warned Clinton that al-Qaeda could attack US interests in the next
several weeks (see December 18, 2000). In 2003, Clinton will speak about
the interview, saying that he recognized Bush felt the biggest security
issues facing the US was Iraq and a national missile defense: "I told
him that in my opinion, the biggest security problem was Osama bin
Laden." [Reuters, 10/16/2003]
