Clinton: I Would Have Attacked Bin Laden

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.

Oh, really? Then why didn't you take one of the four opportunities to grab him when you had the chance? Oh, I'm sorry; the guy only grabbed interns when he was in office. Never mind.

If Clinton had attached Afghanistan after the USS Cole bombing, Al Gore would be President right now...

[WKUHilltopper]

LOL!! Ain't that the truth!

Great! Now he tells us. After eight years in the White House during which we were attacked how many times? And all Clintoon could muster was a cruise missile here and a cruise missile there hitting an aspirin factory, a camel's butt and the Chinese Embassy...wait! Did Clintoon think Bin Laden was hiding in the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade???

"...Clinton: I Would Have Attacked Bin Laden..."

Then why didn't you, you lying, philandering POS? You had three oppurtunities to take posession of that murderer and you passed ALL THREE TIMES. After you were out of office, and I need to remind you that you ARE out of office, you admitted that you could havs and should have done that. Now, President Bush is still mucking your stall five and a half years later. Will you please just STFU and go away and let a man do a man's job. You surely didn't.

BS

If you had still been President we would still be waiting on the UN to decide what to do.

There's a reason FREEPERS call Slick Willie CLINTOCIO.

Even Monica wouldn't swallow THAT! :-)

This is one guy you simply run out of words to express adequate outrage over. The bull ---- never ends! And as bad as he is, and as far out front he is in the race, Carter is obviously determined to do him one worse.

[A CA Guy]

The bastard Bid Laden had already openly declared war against us. Had the blood supply to President Clinton been free going to his mind instead of just his manhood, he would have simply took him.
Before 9/11 he still had every reason to do so.

Then after that he gave China missile rocket and guidance technology to nuke us.

These things are the true Clinton Legacy.

[Nebr FAL owner]

You forgot PATHETIC in your most accurate yet terse description of Slick Willie.

[Howlin]

What about Kobar Towers, Bill?

What about the embassy bombings, Bill?

What about WTC I, Bill?

What about the Democrats trying to void the votes of the soldiers on the U.S.S Cole in the 2000 election, Bill?

[sugarbabe]

Let's hope he knew more than Bush, after all he had been president for 8 years and Bush had been in office nearly 8 months when 9/11 occurred. His job was to make sure the information was passed on in a way that protected the American people. I suspect he wanted everyone to think everything was utopia since he had served for 8 years and that he had taken care of all the problems.

[Texaspeptoman]

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Will this scum-sucking enema-bag BOZO every shut up with the "I coulda - yes I woulda" wish upon a star crap?

YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING !!!!!

OGMAFB !!!!!!!
(Oh give me a f'n break)

He knows the building momentum of the weldon story...that is why he's trying to deflect it with these statements. He's obviously taking it seriously, which makes me believe weldon even more.

"coulda, woulda, shoulda......."

"What a piece of work he is."

The, "coulda, woulda, shoulda" is almmost exactly what I thought when I read this. But my brain said, "woulda, coulda, shoulda". And we also came close to having the same second thought. Mine was, "What a piece of 'hit he is". LOL
