Subject: The Captain

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which
killed six and injured
1,000; President Clinton promised that those
responsible would be
hunted
down and punished.

After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed
five U.S.
military personnel; Clinton promised that those
responsible would be
hunted
down and punished.

After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia,
which killed 19
and
injured 200 U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised
that those
responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa,
which killed 224
and injured 5,000; Clinton promised that those
responsible would be
hunted
down and punished.

After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed
17 and injured 39
U.S.
sailors; Clinton promised that those responsible would
be hunted down
and
punished.

Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated
7,000 people in New
York
and Washington, D.C. that are now dead would be Alive
today.
AN INTERESTING QUESTION:
This question was raised on a Philly radio call-in
show. Without
casting stones, it is a legitimate question. There
are two men, both
extremely wealthy. One develops relatively cheap
software and gives
billions of dollars to charity. The other sponsors
terrorism.
That being the case, why is it that the Clinton
Administration spent
more money chasing down Bill Gates over the past
eight years than
Osama bin
Laden?
THINK ABOUT IT!
It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8
Million for her
forthcoming
memoir. Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir
yet to be written.
This
from two people who have spent the past 8 years being
unable to recall
anything about past events while under oath!

Now where o where has the beardless Bin gone?????

I've wondered about all of this very thing for quite a while -- I even had a debate with a professor back in late '99 saying that as long as Clinton was allowing Bin Laden to get away with this crap he (Bin Laden) would just continue even bigger acts of terrorism against us -- I hate to say that I was right -- I REALLY hate to say that I was right.

u do realized that if lets say 20 dies whille bush was in office he would have sayd the exact same thing and like clinton would send couple of crousie missles trageted at binlaen camps.We wouldn't be in the middle of the war attacking afganistan becaue no one would support as.What did u espect clinton to say,"we are declaring war on afganitan"just because their's a link that the killed 15 americans in teriorist act. The reason he couldn't say that is because the country and the world weren't in shock like they were after the septermber 11.

Oh give me a break! Don't make excuses for that moron Billary!

What did I expect him to do? Go after the person that he knew was behind those attacks -- Osama bin Laden. Instead, Billyboy was too busy with Monica in the closet and trying to save his weak@$$ presidency. Our nation is in pretty bad shape thanks to Clinton's economic plans (you don't really think Bush has anything to do with it -- economic strategies are set forth 3-4 years in advance! And tahnks to Billyboy we are forced to track down bin Laden in a manner that is making us look like the heavy to the majority of the Islamic world. Again, Billary could have gone after bin Laden slowly and taken him with little problem -- but no, he had work to do with Monica so now we're at war.

Hey, audiyoda, give Slick some credit. He took out an aspirin factory in pursuit of Osama. Ain't his fault the missile missed him

Who did not finish the job in Iraq?

Eight years of Clinton were better than those with Reagan and his economics. Granted, Reagan had balls. Those previos attacks were not shocking enough to provide the presidency with enough popular support. Clint got away with the monica thing because no one gave a flying .... not enough popular support. In September things were shocking enough to really get out butts going. REGARLESS of what happen before september, the fire is under our @ss so lets get this mofo.

If the mission was to get Saddam, we would have.
More spin??

Originally posted by Guzano Eight years of Clinton were better than those with Reagan and his economics.

Actually, Reagan's economic and foreign policy set the stage for the huge boom that occurred in the 90's. His foreign policies brought about the fall of the Soviet block, which in turn opened up huge, heretofore, inaccessible markets. Selling into these markets, bringing their (Soviet and their satellites) infrastructure and fledgeling economies up to speed, provided a huge amount of available capital (worldwide) that could be (and in fact was spent) on (and drove) the huge technological advances that also occurred during the 90's. It was this massive movement of capital that drove the boom worldwide.

This is not to say that Reagan's presidency was solely responsible for the boom, there were many factors, but those early steps brought about this huge boom. During the 90's, the economy gained huge amount of momentum and took on a life of its own, and it succeeded with very little input from the government. What action the government did take, could very well be viewed by history as interference and seen as actions that actually slowed down and eventually halted this growth. Only time will tell on that.

this is of course, only my 2 cents.

Two thoughts,

(1) As bad as September 11 was, the number 7,000 is about twice as many as actually died.

(2) I don't remember anybody (Republican or Democrat)in Congress or in the Whitehouse talking about invading Afghanistan prior to 9-11 (9 months after Bush Jr. took office.)

I guess, if it makes us feel better, we can blame Clinton (or Reagan or OJ) for every problem in the last 1/2 century, but I don't think it gets us any where. It surely doesn't solve anything.

BTW did you know that General Tommy Franks was in his current job on October 12, 2000, when the Cole was attacked. He wasn't sacked. General Zinni (who Franks replaced and who approved the Cole's visit to Yeman) has been designated by Bush to be our representative in the current round of Mideast talks. Either of them is at least as responsible for the attack on the Trade Center as either Clinton or Bush. I don't hear anybody calling for their heads. Again the guy really responsible is named Bin Laden. His is the head I want.
