...the US military had a clear shot at a terrorist target but needed the OK from the President, who was Bill Clinton.

That terrorist target was Osama bin Laden, and Clinton was on a golf course at the time. And yes, he finally chewed out the aide who continued to communicate the request for clearance to fire.

That incident was the first thing that came to mind when reading this thread.

What is it about Democrat presidents ? Too much brain-washing that playing with guns is "bad" ?
