Clinton didn't persue military action because it would not have served the globalists interests. While bin Laden is still alive, our government, and subsequently the UN, can use him as an excuse to impose further government intervention, and bring so much closer to becoming part of the world community.
Originally, Bush said that he was going to fight terror, and seek out Osama, and bring him to justice. However, his tune has recently been changed. This is what disturbs me. With no clear cut objectives, and reasonable objectives, how will we know that the threat has been eliminated?
God save the Republic...
