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.

History will record that BJ Clinton was the worst president of the 20th Century because the terror cells planned 9-11 while he fiddled with Monica.

I wonder if his delutional ravings are the result of chronic STD?

Interesting that he talks about his awareness of Bin Laden just when we have learned about Atta & Able Danger.

He's so transparent and the media laps it all up......Disgusting!

I think this is just part of the DNC effort to diminish Bush's defender of the USA credibility.

This is from the book of Lakoff. In order to win democrats have to make themselves look strong by making push a "weak father figure."

Sheehan pushes GWBush as a child killer. Sheehan, "Mr. Bush killed my son." Enter clinton who is contrasting himself with "I am a stronger father than GWBush."

I keep saying this, but I will repeat: The MSM is just setting this entire august series of manufactured stories for the Sept 24, impeach bush rally.

I was talking about the FIRST WTC bombing in 1993 that Bin Laden and Al Queda were behind. Why didn't BJ get Bin Laden or that one??

And my record of not doing a damn thing about bin Laden proves it. If the Democrats had one ounce of shame, and they don't, they would keep their big, dumb mouths shut.

I'm reading this in utter disbelief! Is he gay? The only attacks lying Bill engages in are sexual.

You won't believe this!

I almost posted, you're right, I don't believe it. But, it's Clinton, so I guess I would believe just about anything he did, or said. Sheesh, he is a lying buffoon.

...but I was too busy pardoning my cronies and stealing everything not nailed down at the White House.

I cannot for the life of me understand how Bill Clinton sleeps at night, after Kosovo.

He's postulating what he "would" have done, "might" have done, and yet look what he did when confronted with terrorism: he withdrew.

He wanted it to be a law enforcement matter. Clinton didn't want to have to do anything about foreign state-sponsored attacks on us. He wanted to let the economy flow and get BJs in the Oval Office. Those were his concerns.

"Dear Lord, please allow me to live long enough that I can urniate on this man's grave. Amen."

Yeah, I'm going to save up for a whole year and fill all the urns so there will be lots to 'urniate' with you. Someone needs to post that incredible footage of Clinton with the crocodile tears when he noticed the cameras on him at Ron Brown's funeral - just to drive home the point of what a disgusting POS this creature really is. God help him.

I won't vote Republican again until the Clintonistas are behind bars. The Bush administration had better start rounding up up these traitorous b@st@rds before the lame duck begins to limp.

Only when his mouth is moving. And you should have posted a picture of his "wife" along side it.

Re: your #126:

Why is it that those words ring truer when spoken by a real man (W) than a sink sittin' wannabe?
