"When I take action," he said, "I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It's going to be decisive."

Let's name the camel Osama.

[ExiledInTaiwan]

LOL

I think that's military code. "Butt of a Camel" = Osama.

[ExiledInTaiwan]

You see, this is all code.

President refers to "smoking them out" And butts of Camels.

[Darheel]

'See, if we call the camel Osama, that'll make up for all the secrets we sold, spies we abandoned, etc...it's a great sound-bite right? right???' (echoing endlessly as Clinton enters into Hades)

[ExiledInTaiwan]

Well I guess if plan to "Laden" any animal it would be a camel. So Osama bin Ladan is a variant spelling which translates: "the butt of a camel which has been loaded."

[ExiledInTaiwan]

Btt

[ExiledInTaiwan]

My misspelling, it actually is spelled "Laden" not Ladan.

Let's hit the right people though. A lot of innocents are suffering over there.

"An Afghan boy walks near the Pakistan-Afghan border area at Torkham, northwest of Islamabad scavenging for food and items of value..."

A free world, for these kids, for everyone. The alternative is much more ghastly. We can't sit around and wait for a city to be nuked; I don't have a graphic, but if we get nuked their won't be anyone left to cry over the kid.

[Josiah6]

Yes, there are a lot of innocents over there, as were the 5,000 plus dead under that pile of rubble that used to be called the WTC

That little boy one day may grow up to be the next member of Bin Laden little army of murderers.

I am not saying war justifies taking innocent life, just that little boy if given a chamce by getting rid the likes of Bin laden might grow up under freedom and liberty.

Excellent, as usual.

The Taliban and Ben Laden are not Afghanistan. They're not even the government of Afghanistan. The Taliban are a cult of ignorant psychotics who took over Afghanistan in 1997. Bin Laden is a political criminal with a plan. When you think Taliban, think Nazis. When you think Bin Laden, think Hitler. And when you think "the people of Afghanistan" think "the Jews in the concentration camps." It's not only that the Afghan people had nothing to do with this atrocity. They were the first victims of the perpetrators. They would exult if someone would come in there, take out the Taliban and clear out the rats nest of international thugs holed up in their country. Liberate Afgganistan of the Taliban and Ben Laden and we'd have a strong Moslem nation as a grateful ally in South Asia.

"I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It's going to be decisive."

Any truth to the rumor that Hillary grabbed her behind and grimaced when he said that?

[Lee'sGhost]

Can someone recommned to me and provide a link(s) to a definitive accounting of BJ's actions that have 1) depleted our military even though the Congress was controlled by the GOP and 2) all of the aid, enablement and comfort he provided terrorists? Fodder for bashing lib idiots who unbelievably won't support Bush simply bec of partisan politics.

[B4Ranch]

The result of bad parenting. You cannot kick a big dog without expecting to get bit.

".....hit a camel in the butt."

Wait a minute! I thought he was talking about Hillary! Please confirm!
