Because Clinton did NOT want to fight Iraq in the mid 1990's. Peace, prosperity, re-election.

With all due reverence to the fallen civilians, in the scheme of war, the actual TWA/OKC attacks were pinpricks---if they did not create the "secondary explosion" of public fear.

Had they killed air-travel, or frightened everyone out of gov't buildings...(hey!)... then Iraq would have been credited with a huge blow to Great Satan.

By diverting the aftermath, Clinton at once diminished himself--but also the attacker's accomplishment.

So, if that is true, then by outing Clinton, Bush43 would hand those victories over to Saddam, posthumously.

In any event, for whatever justification, Bush has brought justice to Saddam, Qusay and Uday, at extreme personal sacrifice...in an honorable, if clandestine, manner that Washington, Lee, Lincoln would understand.

Call me a convoluted Bushbot, but I can see where Clinton did not have the strength to respond against Saddam---we might have lost. Everything happens for a reason.

I like your explanation, sam_paine. Yes, accomplished at extreme personal sacrifice.  The following statement seems to reflect your thinking:

The Intellectually Stunted Practice of Bush-Bashing

Excerpt:

Taking into account the incredible events that George W. Bush has had to contend with during his presidency – not to mention the unimaginable amount of irrational and politically cultivated hatred that has been foisted upon him and a mainstream media that facilitates it – I find it hard to believe that either Al Gore or John Kerry could have done any better given the exact set of circumstances. In fact, in the shadow of Harry Reid’s cowardly comment that he and his congressional colleagues don’t have a responsibility to engage in crafting a battle plan for victory in Iraq – or any other battlefield in the war against radical Islamist aggression – I would advance the notion that few could have performed as well.
