Ok, the headline is a bit over the top. But I find one of his episodes, in particular, quite prescient.
Season Two premiered in Oct. 2000 - before the (s)elected of Bush and during Clinton's presidency. Season One ended with an assassination attempt on President Barlet (well, ok, on his bodyman Charlie). Season Two began with the aftermath, including:
A meeting in the Situation Room with the CoS, the VPOTUS, the National Security Adviser ("NSA"), and various Joint Chiefs and such. This is a quote from the NSA:
"It is worth mentioning that at this moment we do not know the whereabouts of about a half dozen cell leaders, including Bin Laden.
So, even Sorkin thought OBL was a threat long before GWBush did? I thought you all would get a kick out of that.
God bless West Wing marathons. ;-)
Ironically, after mentioning the OBL whereabouts issues, the NSA went on to talk about a growing threat of the Iraqi Republican Guard. Talk about life immitating art, or something like that.
