Cowardly clinton does nothing again. HERE he could have done something useful instead of bombing asprin factories. Nah, not bill. Most likely he's got drug money coming in from him too.

The slickster was probably too busy tallying up all the money he was going to make on the sale of pardons. Couldn't be bothered with matters of state and national security.

From another thread...

Time to check if Bin Laden donated to the DNC.
His family gave to Harvard. Want to bet, some $$$$ went to the DNC?

Anyone?

I've been saying it for a while. Clinton did a similar chicken-out in Somalia with Aidid- Aidid had no idea how close he was to judgement day.

In any large scale operation there turn out to be certain key personnel that multiply its successes by a factor of ten. It was Rommel in Africa. When troops began to move incisively at Normandy, the German high command knew immediately that Patton had been given charge. If bin Laden is taken out it won stop hostilities, but it will render them much less effective.

I'm SOOOOOOOOOO glad this came out now. Now if "he" gets back from Australia and tries to stick his fat face in front of a camera, they can ask him why HE didn't take care of this when he had the chance. Of course, the answer is he didn't have anything TO COVER UP at that time, did he?

"The administration ultimately opted against an attack. "

"never felt they had enough information to risk such an operation. "

C'mon now AP, let's be honest. We all know it was because Bill knew it would blow any chance of winning that Nobel.

Yeah, but we'd have been the first ones screaming here that it was nothing more than an exercise in legacy building. I know I would have.

What is your source for information that Osama Bin Ladins family gave money to Harvard. And did Harvard accept it? I cannot believe even the extremist libs at harvard would do such a thing.

Clinton sold us out in nearly every possible way. Believe it.

Seemed like on one of the guild threads there was something about Marc Rich and Osama.
