Clinton destroys critical questions on Fox News

[Stylerod]

CW: Do you think you did enough sir?

WJC: No because I didn’t get him

CW: Right…

WJC: But at least I tried. That’s the difference in me and some, including
all the right wingers who are attacking me now. They ridiculed me for
trying. They had eight months to try

8 months? He had 8 years!

Bin Laden has been implicated in a string of deadly attacks on the United States and its allies: the 1993 World Trade Center bombing; the 1998 bombings at the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed more than 200; and the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen. Bin Laden also claims responsibility for a 1993 gunfight that killed 18 U.S. troops in Somalia and the 1996 bombing of the Khobar military complex in Saudi Arabia that left 19 U.S. soldiers dead.

Clinton had 8 years, and he complains about Bush's 8 months????

That's ridiculous, he had NOTHING to do with Somalia, and any ties to 93 are pure speculation

98 was the turning point, when his presidency was mostly over, and when he tried to attack terrorists he got blamed for "wag the dog" or "oh that jackass just bombed an aspirin factory to make a story...this terrorism is all BS"

He had a couple years and he did everything he could reasonalby do, why don't you blame Reagan for not seeing the Lebanon bombing coming, and then running like a coward?

O reily?

In December 1992, bin Laden found the battle he'd been waiting for. The United States was leading a UN-sanctioned rescue mission into Somalia. In the midst of a famine, the country's government had completely broken down, and warring tribes-largely Muslim--had cut off relief efforts by humanitarian groups. Somalians were starving to death in cities and villages, and the U. S., which had moved quickly to rescue oil-rich Kuwait, had come under mounting criticism for doing nothing.

When the Marines landed in the last days of 1992, bin Laden sent in his own soldiers, armed with AK-47's and rocket launchers. Soon, using the techniques they had perfected against the Russians, they were shooting down American helicopters. The gruesome pictures of the body of a young army ranger being dragged naked through the streets by cheering crowds flashed around the world. The yearlong American rescue mission for starving Somalians went from humanitarian effort to quagmire in just three weeks. Another superpower humiliated. Another bin Laden victory.

That's just reporting what bin Laden wanted to claim credit for while in Sudan...there is no intelligent scholar who will say Somalia wasn't all about General Aidid

All those fighters in the streets, those thousands...you think they were bin Laden's followers?

Hellz no, they were clansmen tied to the General for political power over other militias

I have NEVER EVER heard anyone say that those thousands of somalia militiamen were actually bin Laden's men...its ridiculous beyond discussion

And Clinton did do something to go after OBL and was accused of being "obsessed" with him by the republicans.

Bush took office and did nothing. He didn't even have a meeting on the subject until after 9/11.
