How the Left Caused the 9-11 Attacks

How the Left Caused the 9-11 Attacks

Editor's note: This is the first part of a series.
WASHINGTON ? Blame the security breakdowns that led to Sept. 11 on the U.S. left, David Horowitz says in a powerful fact-filled pamphlet titled "How the Left Undermined America?s Security.?

Horowitz knows the left like the back of his hand. He was a "Red diaper baby? raised in a communist home. The 1960s "destructive generation? (his term) caused his ideological flip-flop, especially when it became clear to him that murder was not out of the question in achieving left-wing goals in the U.S. He is now a dedicated pro-American conservative.

His new booklet does contain a lot of chapter and verse about the trivialization and near obliteration of security during the Clinton era. However, it is not a "Clinton-bashing? polemic. Horowtiz says the blame belongs on the shoulders of the entire left-wing establishment. That means the politicians, the media, academia and all other powerful outlets controlled by the leftist establishment.

So let?s start with warnings ignored and opportunities missed.

For nearly a decade before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the Clinton administration knew Americans were increasingly vulnerable to attacks involving biological, chemical or nuclear weapons. And it did nothing.
Clinton Ignored Own Defense Secretary's Warning

Clinton?s own secretary of defense, William Cohen, in a July 1999 op-ed piece in the Washington Post, predicted a terrorist attack on America?s mainland. Not only did the then-president do nothing, but the mainstream media "looked the other way,? alleges Horowitz.
Liberal journalist Joe Klein reported on a close monitoring of the media. None of the major television networks or the elite press printed or uttered a word of it. The reaction among those who kept track of the way the media ignored an obvious blockbuster story was pure astonishment.

The National Commission on Terrorism in 2000 "issued a report with the eerily foreboding image of the Twin Towers on its cover.?
A bipartisan effort to attach the report?s findings to congressional intelligence legislation was stymied by left-wing Sen. Patrick "Leaky" Leahy, D-Vt. The senator said he feared a campaign against terrorism would threaten "civil liberties.?

Watching Terrorists Isn't P.C.

Vice President Al Gore?s commission to improve airline security degenerated into a focus on "racial profiling.? This, of course, diluted security measures in the face of terrorist threats from the Middle East and Asia. Seventeen of 19 Sept. 11 terrorists were fundamentalist extremists from the Middle East.

In 1993, the FBI identified three "charities? connected to the terrorist organization Hamas. Clinton ignored pleas that he create a "President?s List? of extremist and terrorist groups. He feared the political fallout of "profiling? Islamic charities.

By Clinton?s own account, Monica Lewinsky met him privately in the Oval Office a dozen times, but the head of the CIA could not get a single private meeting with the president after the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

In 1996, while his own State Department was describing Osama bin Laden as "the greatest financier of terrorist projects around the world,? Clinton ignored an offer from the president of Sudan to arrest and extradite bin Laden and supply detailed intelligence data about global networks involving Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and Hamas. Membership in these networks included two hijackers who piloted jetliners into the World Trade Center.
Those are highlights.

Clinton, writes Horowitz, did focus enough attention on intelligence services "to hamstring the intelligence services in the name of civil liberties, shrink the U.S. military, eliminate its ability to fight two wars at once, pursue massive experiments in the military where 'consciousness raising' and gender and diversity reform overshadowed the prime purpose of the military: provide the best defense of the nation."

Next: It wasn?t just Clinton
