Let me start by saying that "The Path to 9/11" is one of the best, most intelligent, most pro-American miniseries I've ever seen on TV, and conservatives should support it and promote it as vigorously as possible.
This is the first Hollywood production Ive seen that honestly depicts how the Clinton administration repeatedly bungled the capture of Osama Bin Laden. One astonishing sequence in "The Path to 9/11" shows the CIA and the Northern Alliance surrounding Bin Ladens house in Afghanistan. They're on the verge of capturing Bin Laden, but they need final approval from the Clinton administration in order to go ahead. They phone Clinton, but he and his senior staff refuse to give authorization for the capture of Bin Laden, for fear of political fall-out if the mission should go wrong and civilians are harmed. National Security Adviser Sandy Berger in essence tells the team in Afghanistan that if they want to capture Bin Laden, they'll have to go ahead and do it on their own without any official authorization. That way, their necks will be on the line - and not his. The astonished CIA agent on the ground in Afghanistan repeatedly asks Berger if this is really what the administration wants. Berger refuses to answer, and then finally just hangs up on the agent. The CIA team and the Northern Alliance, just a few feet from capturing Bin Laden, have to abandon the entire mission. Bin Laden and Al Qaeda shortly thereafter bomb the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, killing over 225 men, women, and children, and wounding over 4000. The episode is a perfect example of Clinton-era irresponsibility and incompetence.

"You can't support the troops but be against the war," he said. "It just doesn't work."
I've been trying to figure out how you can support the troops but be against the war for quite a while now. I still don't understand how this is possible.
One might almost suspect it's just something they say for PR purposes.

Rest in peace, brave warrior, and may God comfort your family.

Sounds like someones needs a good Freep!
I hope I get a chance to watch this mini-series. I would love to see SOMEONE take the Clinton administration to task on their part in creating the situation that is killing our citizens and our soldiers! They must be held to account over this deriliction of duty!
Just sent him a little email. Calling him a traitor.. 3 times I typed and deleted something about Rocky's direction for the afterlife.
