After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised that those would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 7,000 people would be alive today
This question was raised on a radio call-in show. Without casting stones, it is a legitimate question.
There are two men, both extremely wealthy. One develops relatively cheap software and gives hundreds of millions of dollars to charity. The other sponsors terrorism.
That being the case, why is it that Clinton spent more money chasing down Bill Gates than Osama bin Laden?
Why did Bill Clinton conduct an all out war against a country that never raised a hand or fired a bullet against us and that was only defending it's self against Marxist/drug-dealing/terrorist muslims, while he allowed bin Laden off with some damaged tents?

Perfect. The question posed is the perfect anecdote that I've been looking for since X42 left office.
Whenever I'm asked by another black why I think X42 was terrible, I always had trouble finding ways to explain it forcefully because I could never explain it in less than a paragraph. But now, I have this question to hurl at American blacks who think that X42 was the first black president: Why is it that Clinton spent more money chasing down Bill Gates than Osama bin Laden?
To the point, one sentence, and totally inarguable.
Thank you very, very much.
Excellent post. Bill Gates also pays mega bucks in taxes, as well as employing thousands of people who pay taxes, as well as providing services and software for which there is a saless tax component. Bill Gates is a revenue builder while bin Laden is nothing but a destroyer.
Good question why did Clinton/Reno waste millions on a stupid lawsuit and nothing on a bringing a murderer terrorist to justice?

I never heard clinton's policies put quite that way, but its right on target. You hit the nail on the head. I hope you don't mind if I use that quote. BTW don't forget all the jobs Gates provides, and the taxes the business and employees pay etc. etc.
