I acknowlege Clinton's mistake also; but what seems facisnating to me is people blinded so deeply by partisan politics that they would be ignorant to the fact that Bush made rather the same mistakes, and even larger ones with much more consequential implications. The Clinton administration had plans to take out the main Al-Qaeda organizational leadership including Osama Bin Laden, and had given those recommendations to the Bush administration when they took office. Instead, Bush went on vacation and issued Presidential Directive Order W199I which pulled federal agents away from the trail of Bin Laden as well as other suspected Saudi terrorists. His finantial ties to the Saudis was just too close.

If they had "plans" to take them out, why didn't they just take them out?

You can't ask that question while at the same time ignoring the fact that Bush completely ignored that option as well...

Yeah, answer the question. Clinton had a golden opportunity before 09/11 to take Ben ladin out. Couldn't he have scheduled that between blow jobs?

To think that we can answer on behalf of the Clinton administration is pretty two-dimentional. Just because I don't support Republicans doesn't mean I support Democrats and know about what happens in their offices. You'd have to ask that question to Clinton. All we can do is speculate. And it is my guess that he was too distracted by a mindless impeachment process.

But with all your rhetoric Alias, you seem to be primarily angered at Clinton for his passive stance on the issue...when all the while Bush was even worse; for reasons that I listed in my previous post.

Do you just approach posting on this message board with the philosophy of "I don't have to be truthful because truth doesn't help me"?

There is a LONG LIST of questions you have avoided answering. COMPLETELY IGNORED in your responses.

If you think that ANYBODY here believes you haven't avoided a LOT of the questions aimed at you, then you're smoking something that you should be sharing...

I always share what I have to smoke. You ought to see out back, I've got a nice one growing.

I told you a long time ago, I am not going to respond to every little nit wit point you make because it's too tedious and I don't have the time or the inclination. I always respond to your first point. If you have a hard time with that, then ignore me. You can't make me do what you want even though I know that you being gay you want everyone to bow to your every wish and command you spoiled little brat.
