If Bin Laden was no big deal, then why did President Clinton order the launch of 79 cruise missles against a terrorist camp to try to kill him?

Once again, Newsweek proves that they are as much the enemy of America as the NY Slimes and the rest of the MSM. Screw 'em all.

And, of course, the FIRST bombing of the WTC, in '93, was no biggie either....after all, only 6 people were murdered and about a 1,000 were seriously injured. But al Qaeda was no threat at all. /sarcasm
To: nopardons
Actually, Al-Qaida wasn't TOO big of a threat...before Bill Clinton took office.

On the smallish potatoes side, but NOT benign either.

What does Newsweak expect these guys to say? How many murders on death row proclaim their innocence?
To: ikez78
But there was substantial evidence showing that, up to 9/11, Al Qaeda could barely hold its act together, that it was a failing group, hounded from every country it tried to roost in (except for the equally lunatic Taliban-run Afghanistan). Yep. Just a bunch of bumbling fools who happened to get lucky on 9/11. And in the Cole attack. And the African embassy attacks. Then stopped getting lucky after Bush went after them. Funny how that worked out.

The intelligence community generally agrees that the number of true A-list Al Qaeda operatives out there around the time of 9/11 was no more than about 1,000, perhaps as few as 500, most in and around Afghanistan. Let's see ... It took 19 of them to bring down four airlines and the World Trade Center. Perhaps, Newsweak, we should try to get a handle on the other 981 of them before something similar -- or much worse -- happens.
