Well, with information this “hot” it’s no surprise how “fast” it surfaced after Sept 11, 2001. :rolleyes:
Sure let’s blame Clinton for WTC and Pentagon attacks.
Personally, I blame Nostradamus for not acting on this in his lifetime.
This just in … James Buchanan could have prevented the Civil War, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the impeachment of Andrew Johnson. More “news” on this story as soon as I make it up.
Hey, cut our poor OP some slack, willya? It’s getting harder and harder to deflect attention from this administration’s colossal fuckups. Can’t blame a bot for falling back on the old reliable boogeyman.
Would killing OBL be a good thing?
Seriously, think about it.
What if Al Queada turns out to be a hydra? You cut off the head and two grow back. If the US kills OBL, he gets elevated to sainthood in some people’s eyes. Sometimes, it is better to not kill the godfather but to try and do in his underlings.
I think President Permanent-Vacation could use my help more. Your apologetics & attempts to divert attention from his latest failure by blaming Clinton for things that happened while mokey boy was in office haven’t really been effective. Nice try.
Oh, and I really love the condescending “you liberals” tone. It makes “you assholes” look like real human beings. (That’s sarcasm, dipshit).
Your reading skills are pretty pathetic, aren’t they. Let’s look at what BMax actually said:
He’s saying quite clearly that he can’t predict the future, and that Clinton couldn’t either, and that it is therefore unreasonable to expect Clinton to have placed more emphasis on getting bin Laden than any other of the myriad of random scum with a grudge against the US. But of course you’re apparently too stupid to realize that.
Did GWB want the UN to lift sanctions against the Taliban? (It amazes me the details I don’t know about this stuff.) I do recall that in 2001, Bush had Taliban representatives visit him in DC, as if they were from a legitimate government.
According to the article I posted, Clinton’s CIA was absolutely serious about taking bin Laden out. They had several opportunities. Clinton refused them all. Now he wants us to believe that he thought Osama was so important that he made a point of stressing this fact to Bush when he took over. And he says the only name he thought of on 9/11 was “Osama.”
Well, which way do you idiots want it? Either Clinton was aware that OBL was a danger to the US and did nothing…or he didn’t place much emphasis on capturing/killing him, but *still * found it necessary to tell Bush how dangerous he was.
Right, because either Clinton thought Osama was dangerous enough to assassinate, violating all kinds of international law and general moral principles, or he didn’t think Osama was dangerous at all. No room for any middle ground there, nosirreebob.
Maybe, just maybe, Clinton thought Osama warranted close watching but not murder, which is precisely what he had the CIA do - watch closely, but don’t take out. I won’t bother going into the repeated concerns expressed by the Clinton administration about civilian casualties in any assassination attempt, because clearly you don’t think Afghani civilian lives are worth being concerned about.
tap…tap…tap…is this thing on?..tap…tap…tap… OK, much better…
Interrupting for an announcement. As you already know, the Mother’s March Against Cognitive Dissonance has been searching for a poster child for our 2005-6 campaign. Please be advised that by unanimous vote of our Steering Committee, we have ascertained that only one candidate will be seriously considered, as said candidate personifies the dreadful menace of Cogntive Dissonance (the number one threat to the Republic!) so perfectly that no other conceivable candidate could offer any reasonable alternative.
Ex-President Clinton strikes again! Thank og he’s still fucking the world up retro-actively to deflect conservatives from questioning anything current happening.
Personally I can’t wait until Clinton dies and conservatives re-animate his corpse. I bet Zombie Clinton will make for even more interesting threads.
That’s what it’s turned into since 2001. AQ is still dangerous, but probably not capable of a major international attack like September 11th. In part, it still exists because Bin Laden has become a mythologized hero. That wouldn’t have happened if he’d been taken out years ago.
If Clinton wasn’t serious about taking him out, why did he sign that executive order I mentioned?
Way to be a jerk. The actions in question could also be inconsistent with your worldview, but instead of treating this poster with respect, you insult him with your Moderator bully pulpit.
What a liberals club this board is becoming…Conservative posters are only acknowledged through insults (except for “good” or “reasonable” Conservatives, which is just code for Bush-bashers). This board stopped fighting ignorance a long time ago. It now wallows in it.
