Bin Laden specter gives Bush critics an opening
Democrats see flaw in president's strategy Excerpt:
"Bin Laden's re-emergence does not invalidate the progress that has been made in the war on terror," said Mr. Benjamin, a National Security Council official under President Bill Clinton. "But at the same time, bin Laden is a charismatic figure and his followers in radical Islam is certain to be mightily cheered by this."
I can almost envision this, with Clinton leading the cheers....
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.
The Democrats put party power before the country's security. They would rather watch Americans die than support the administrations' efforts to protect us.
The Democrats have NO credibility. They just hope if they throw enough mud some will stick.
I say that we ask the Democrats for their very fine, well-dveised, multi-step plan for just locating Bin Laden, muchless for getting our people there before Bin Laden escapes, and then for actually capturing him and bringing him out of wherever he is. They do have that plan available, don't they? (AlGee must have it some where. Or Kerry. Or surely little Tommy Flatulence does.)
Meekie, long time no ping! (^:
As Ann Coulter so accurately states, a very small percentage, maybe 10%, thinks the way the mainstream newsmedia, Universities and entertainment and pol "elites" think. America gets it. most Americans know why we're in this war, why we need to take out Saddam...but listening to Daschle, CNN, etc., the "will of the people" is not only being ignored, these misguided cowards are spitting on us, America and our President.
I appreciate the e-mail address.

Clinton's parting gift to Bush? Poking the Taliban hornet's nest...and running:
Today, the United Nations removed all its remaining relief workers from the country, fearing a backlash from the Taliban, who will be almost completely isolated diplomatically when the resolution takes effect in 30 days, a grace period during which the Taliban could avoid sanctions by meeting the Council's demands. , Dec. 20th...2000.
Why did Clinton wait until Dec. 19th, 2000 to push the UN for tougher sanctions against the Taliban? The grace period was set to expire in 30 days. Clinton knew this would anger not only the Taliban, but their terrorist pals across the world. The UN understood the danger...they pulled their own people out the same day, Dec. 20th, the new threat was issued. The electoral college voted for President Bush on Dec. 18, 2000. On Dec. 19th, Clinton went to the UN to push for tougher sanctions with a 30 day grace period..to go into effect Jan. 19, 2001 - President Bush's inaugeration eve.
Why would Clinton also close off ANWR those last days in office keeping us more dependent on terrorist-supporting nations for our energy needs?
Why would Clinton invite both Barak and Arafat to the White House the last days of his administration and encourage them both to make concessions that were sure to anger each and which turned their people against them at home?
Why did the press report on the pardons and the vandalism, but neglect to investigate the most damaging actions of the departing President?
Why would Clinton leave so many landmines for the new President, knowing that our national security was at stake?
One morning at the nub end of Bill Clinton's presidency, Clinton chief of staff John Podesta walked into a senior staff meeting in the Roosevelt Room waving a copy of USA Today. Holding the paper aloft, Podesta read the headline out loud, "Clinton actions annoy Bush." The article detailed the new rules and Executive Orders the outgoing President was issuing in his final days, actions aimed in equal measure at locking in Clinton's legacy (in areas like environmental protection) and bedeviling his successor. "What's Bush so annoyed about?" Podesta asked with a devilish smile. "He's got four years to try to undo all the stuff we've done."

"We laid a few traps," chirps a happy Clinton aide..... As Miss Marple said elsewhere, President Bush ought to have a Drone following Clinton 24/7.
