What did Clinton relay to the incoming Bush administration:

How much of a warning did Bill Clinton give incoming President George W. Bush that Osama bin Laden posed a grave danger? It depends on which President you ask. In his interview with the 9/11 commission last week, sources tell Time, Bush testified that Clinton appeared far more passionate about the dangers of North Korea's nuclear program and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. According to sources, Bush said Clinton "probably mentioned" terrorism as a national-security threat "but did not make it a point of emphasis." Clinton earlier told the panel that he had ranked bin Laden as the No. 1 problem the new Administration would face; he made the same point in a speech in New York City last October.

North Korea I can understand. Clinton and Carter botched that thing so bad, the full ramifications may not be felt for years. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict; well that was to be Slick Willy's ticket to a Nobel. The way he Lewinsky'd Arafat was disgusting, as was the way he kicked the Israeli's to the curb at every opportunity.
