I agree that it was his job to win popular support for the pursuit of terrorism, and Clinton was completely incapable of it. He never had the moral authority to lead us successfully thorough this battle. This war is very intertwined with religion and morality, and Clinton never could convincingly go there.
If Clinton tried to rally support for going after Osama after the first WTC, the US embassy or the USS Cole bombings, no one would have trusted him. Not Democrats, not Republicans, not Russians and not Europeans. Every syllable would have been dissected, questioned and investigated. He was wholly incapable of the kind of leadership that this requires. And worse for him, he risked alienating his allies in the media, academia and the political left by taking down several governments with military force. And they were essential to his domestic survival.
I thank God that disgrace is no longer infesting our Oval Office.
