They got it out a little early; apparently Andrew Sullivan heard a "good" rumor!

Sorry but I don't trust anything that isn't in the NY Times, the Washington Post, or on one of the three major network newscasts. They say that everyone else is part of a vast right-wing conspiracy and I have no reason to doubt their honesty.
And, Bill Clinton was a GREAT President. We're not likely to see his type again.

I'm sure you realize that I think That Awful Man is the worst thing America ever allowed to be done to herself.
No matter how low you go with either of the clintons, or their pack of enablers, there is always yet another depth to be sunk to....
There's no bottom there--

Lost opportunities. There's a euphemism for you. But was it incompetence or blackmail...?

I saw GWBush's speech tonite. It's so refreshing when you can watch your president on TV without feeling sick and fearful for this nation! The White House is now a TRAITOR FREE ZONE!

Lost opportunities, lost lives, means nothing to Clinton and his supporters. How could anybody expect him to worry about a little thing like Osama when he had really important business to take care of, he was booked solid with fundraisers.
To: Sabertooth
Clinton was too busy arranging how to get his next hummer to take time out to arrange the elimination of the world's worst terrorist.

So all this was just a "screw up"? I used to think that LBJ was the worst president we've ever had for his ability to lie to congress to widen a war he never intended to win - thereby sending tens of thousands of American boys to their deaths. Now we see the blood of the nearly 3,000 on on 9/11 appears to be on the hands of the former president. He's fast becoming my first choice for worst ever in our history.
To: Howlin
YES! What a difference a year makes. With a new fresh bold Prez and traitor42xClinton kicked to the curb!

A former senior White House source said: "There simply was not the evidence to prosecute Osama Bin Laden. He could not be indicted, so it would serve no purpose for him to have been brought into US custody.Tell that to the families who lost loved ones on 09-11.

Yea, and HE has the blood of over 3000 people on his hands.

They say that the clear focus of American policy was to discourage the state sponsorship of terrorism. So persuading Khartoum to expel Bin Laden was in itself counted as a clear victory. The administration was "delighted".This has to be THE dumbest thing I've ever read. What kind of "victory" is it to have made the liver-lipped bastard pick up and move to another country? Did it hurt his terrorist operations? Or did it just send him to a country that, unlike Sudan, wouldn't monitor him and wouldn't offer his sorry ass to the U.S.?
Clinton is reported to have admitted how things went wrong in Sudan at a private dinner at a Manhattan restaurant shortly after September 11 last year. According to a witness, Clinton told a dinner companion that the decision to let Bin Laden go was probably "the biggest mistake of my presidency".
Once again, it's all about him. Clinton is perhaps the only person in this country to look at the devastation of 9/11 and be upset that there was no way to manipulate it to burnish his "legacy."
