Sudan's Angle How Clinton passed up an opportunity to stop Osama bin Laden.

Hours before cruise missiles began raining out of the dark skies of Afghanistan, Osama bin Laden appeared on Al-Jazeera, an Arabic-language television network. America "deserved" the attacks of Sept. 11, he said, and called on all Muslims to rise up and strike back at the free world. "America is full of fear from its north to its south, from its east to its west," he said. "Thank God for that."

Clinton as a liberal did and does not have the capability to protect our country.

Clearly what Clinton officials really wanted was for another country to take the political heat.

clintoon left a lot of "poison pills" for Bush. But at least it wasn't partisan - if gore had been the next prez, he'd have had most of the same ones to deal with.
And there are still people who support the clintoons! clintoons before country? Maybe, if you think you are one of their designated elite. But there are many who think they are, but aren't - Blacks, Jews, Hispanics to start -

Big Surprise that Clintoon was fumbling for a "political" solution. Probably took a poll, first, too.

This is an old story, well known to Freepers. But it's great to see the Wall Street Journal running it at this particular time. I think the Democrats are going to suffer for this latest attack on Bush. It's blowing right back on them.
