Abstract:	A frequent argument in the literature on the US-led war on terror is that the war and its public discourse originated with the George W. Bush administration. This article seeks to explore the political discourse of terrorism and counterterrorism practices during the Clinton administration in order to challenge this perspective. By examining US administration discourses of terrorism, this article demonstrates deep continuities in counterterrorism approaches from Ronald Reagan to Bill Clinton, through to George W. Bush. The research suggests that, based on Reagan’s initial ‘war on terrorism’ discourse, Clinton articulated the notion of ‘catastrophic terrorism’ or ‘new terrorism’, which became a formative conception for the United States and its allies in the post-Cold War era. Clinton’s counterterrorism discourse then provided an important rhetorical foundation for President Bush to respond to the 2001 terrorist attacks. In other words, far from being a radical break, Bush’s ‘war on terror’ represents a continuation of established counter-terrorist understanding and practice.
