"For nothing works so well in getting someone to give up a position as making him feel ashamed of it." Amazing how that sentiment was used during the time/era we were entering into about this time 6 years ago. Just guilt/shame people into doing certain things and behaving certain ways......... |

It’s all in the 9/11 commission report. And likely, a ton more that NEVER made the report. As far as “collateral damage” is concerned, that was something a later POTUS cared almost nothing about when it came time to kill HVT’s. Which is funny, Clinton had ZERO reservations about “accidentally” bombing a Chinese embassy. |

During the transition period to the GWB presidency, the incoming administration was briefed and warned that Al-Qaeda was the most urgent threat to US national security. Bush did nothing until it was too late.

Please elaborate on “attempts”? There were multiple times where there was credible intelligence of UBL’s location, but to state attempted to is a stretch.

An "effort to target" isn't an attempt. Unless the team is launched and comes up a dry hole, or the missiles are launched and they escape, that's not an attempt.

There is also zero proof the embassy bombing was deliberately done. Clinton was a lot of things, but committing reckless acts of war is not on the list.
Google "Bill Clinton war crimes", you could say it's not really decided either way. |

They don't. That's just what your poor media diet tells you. I'm not going to comment on the rest so I don't get banned.

Well back on topic… any furloughs or $150 oil yet? It’s like you have some weird parasocial relationship with the president. Dude he loathes you and me. We’re unionized worker bees who have the audacity to fight for our piece of the pie. Why are you carrying his water all the time? Can you critique him on a single point? Is he some kind of god to you? I mean all this in the nicest possible way, it’s just so strange to me seeing people just so all in on one particular “side”. |
