"Well then , Clinton knew for SURE that Bin Laden bombed OUR Embassies in Africa, and he STILL wouldn't go after Bin Laden????"

Exactly, this latest reference to needing confirmation about Al Qaeda involvement in the bombing of the USS Cole is just more pure fragrant b.s. from the Clinton b.s. factory. Even the 9/11 Commission report, which goes out of its way to try to spin things in a light favorable to the Clinton administration, details numerous high-level discussions in 1998-2000 about the need to take out Al Qaeda, and various opportunities to get Bin Laden which were passed up. One problem was that nearly all Clinton admin. officials held to the view that Bin Laden must be captured and brought to trial, so vast amounts of staff time was spend unproductively seeking ways to launch Special Forces raids which never were ordered, rather than looking for how to wipe out Bin Laden and as many of his camps as possible. Anyway, Clinton knew for YEARS that Bin Laden needed to be dealt with, it didn't take the USS Cole to know it, CLinton is just always making more excuses. The latest is just more dishonest spin from the spin-meister.
