According to Dick Morris Bubba did not want to offend Arab allies, Demo constituancies, etc., by going after Osama.

Ever seen this? A memo that leaked out when the Cole was hit - from Bubba's State Dept.

'The United States State Department believes the "17 or so dead sailors" on the U.S.S. Cole "does not compare to the 100+ Palestinians who have died in recent weeks" in Mideast violence, a stunning government memo reveals.

The Clinton/Gore Administration disapproved a VOICE OF AMERICA broadcast condemning the attack on the Cole. A memo from the Executive Secretariat Staff at the State Department stated:

"The Department of State does not clear on the referenced VOA editorial. The 17 or so dead sailors does not compare to the 100+ Palestinians who have died in recent weeks where we have remained silent. The people that hear this will not see the separation we are trying to make and relate it directly to the violence.

"Either VOA adds something in there to take the edge off and mention the Palestinians or we should kill this editorial until the violence has calmed for a while.'

As one who watched first-hand what clinton did to the Navy, this is one of the most disgusting, vile pieces of info I have ever seen! Sick! How could anyone loathe our military this much?!?
