Clinton: I Would Have Attacked Bin Laden
NewsMax ^ | 8/15/05 | NewsMax

Posted on 08/15/2005 8:08:34 PM PDT by wagglebee

Ex-president Bill Clinton now says he would have taken out Osama bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks – if only the FBI and CIA had been able to prove the al-Qaida mastermind was behind the attack on the U.S.S. Cole.

"I desperately wish that I had been president when the FBI and CIA finally confirmed, officially, that bin Laden was responsible for the attack on the U.S.S. Cole," Clinton tells New York magazine this week. "Then we could have launched an attack on Afghanistan early."

"I don’t know if it would have prevented 9/11," he added. "But it certainly would have complicated it.”

Despite his failure to launch such an attack, Clinton said he saw the danger posed by bin Laden much more clearly than did President Bush.

"I always thought that bin Laden was a bigger threat than the Bush administration did," he told New York magazine.

Dear Lord, please allow me to live long enough that I can urniate on this man's grave. Amen."
Rest assured you'll have so much company they'd better cover it with concrete and a drain, because grass will never grow there.


We will probably have to drain one of the Great Lakes and put his grave on the bottom of the hole.

Sure I'd believe that. What else did you think he'd say? He's been busy trying to re-write history ever since he left office and he actually thinks people are dumb enough to believe it.

Well, actually, some are. You should read the revisionist history the leftists are posting on the Iraqi blogs.

Jayna has fingered Iraqi Republican Guard who came to this country and were part of a terror cell in Oklahoma City. The tie would be to Hussein, not al Qaeda.

"...if I hadn't been so busy chasing tail!"

What's the matter, Bubba? 8 years not long enough?

The first WTC bombing didn't occur early enough in your administration to set the agenda?

He certainly used OKC to hound conservative critics of the government. Talk radio was demonized overnight and he rode a 1-term presidency out of doldrums into a successful re-election.

Some lies make you so sick to your stomach you just wanna puke. What a lying SOS this guy is. If he is already playing defense he must sense that things are about to get real hot.

Then, why didn't he take him out when he had the chance. He's so full of sh^t!

Now that the Democrats are in danger of catching it for the "Gorelick Wall", old Satchel Mouth is out pitching how he would have been tough on terrorism. This is too predictable. Ah, politicians.
