911 was a criminal act, requiring a law-enforcement response, with maybe a little extraction help from Delta. Not an adequate excuse to go to war.

Yours was Clinton's approach. Dead Americans at the hands of Arab terrorists means that you call the cops.

Sorry. It didn't work. The Taliban fostered al-Qaeda, and they were taken down.

You and Ron Paul ought to get a room, what with your letters of marque and reprisal approach to a 20th century problem.

More like the other way around, given how much money the CIA handed to Ben Laden to pass out in Afganistan, and the Taliban is still operating, and heroin flows out of Afganistan, a country we conquered and occupy, like it was water. And Ben Laden still runs loose. I wouldn't waste a lot of effort preening my feathers over this clever coup.

You and the marquis de sade ought to get a room, with your non-compos-mentos approach to whipping Iraq for something Afganistan supposedly did.

That's exactly what it means. Clinton's general incompetence doesn't change that equation. You don't need to declare a full-scale war on a country that can barely be supervised by it's own government, and which none of the attackers, planners, and virtually none of the money was native to. That's just ham-fisted incompetence, which, all by itself, you ought to be fired for.
