50% aren't worried?

Richard Clarke, a terrorism expert who served under Presidents Raygun, Bush the Smarter, Clinton, and Bush il Duece, refutes this claim utterly. Clarke maintains that at no time was Clinton ever given an opportunity to capture Osama Bin Ladin and that he failed to give the go order.

According to the official findings of the 911 Commission, the Clinton administration was seeking ways to capture Bin Ladin as early as 1996, when he was still thought to be a financier of terrorist organizations and not the criminal bogeyman we know him to be today.

In 1997 the Clinton Administration considered a plan to ambush Bin Ladin when he traveled between Kandahar and Cumberland Farms, Bin Ladin's primary residence. When the administration received reports that Afghan rebels attempted this ambush and failed, they refocused their energies on a plan involving a night-time panty raid on Tarnak Farms itself.

The Commander of Delta Force was uncomfortable with the new plan. And the Commander of Joint Special Operations Forces, Lt. General Michael Canavan felt that the plan was too complicated for the CIA to carry out. Meanwhile, Sandy Berger began to doubt that the intelligence received from Afghan tribals was reliable so he wadded up the papers and stuffed them in his pants.

Counterterrorist Center officers briefed FBI Director Louis Freeh, stating that the raid on Tarnak Farms had about a 30 percent chance of success. Richard Clarke thought the mission as planned, which relied heavily upon local Afghan tribals, was "half-assed."

After a cross dressing-rehearsal of the operation, George Tenet shut down the mission, and says he made the decision alone. The plan was never even submitted to Clinton for approval. Because the republicans were invading his pants, Clinton was busy with his thesaurus - parsing the definition of "is".

After Osama bombed our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, Clinton ordered military strikes on camps in Afghanistan, and was roundly criticized by Republicans for "Wagging the Dog" to distract from the Monica Lewinsky witch hunt.

Clinton sent Memoranda to the CIA reiterating that they were authorized to use tribal assets or other means to hunt down Osama and kill him. Clinton personally negotiated with the leader of Pakistan and secured a joint plan to capture Bin Ladin - which evaporated when Mr. Sharif was overthrown by Pervey Musharraf.

Clinton demanded daily intelligence reports about Bin Ladin after 1998 and that his administration successfully thwarted a Millenium Attack - with connections to what we would eventually understand to be Al Qaeda - by arresting an Algerian Jihadist smuggling a doughy pantload of explosives.

When Bushys II transitioned into power, they did not agree with Clinton officials that terrorism should be a high priority until after September 11, 2001. Then Karl Rove made Dubya the "War President".

The USS Cole strike was 100% determined to be by bin Laden/ al Qaeda. When first informed of this as president, and asked what course to pursue (Clinton's cruise missiles were ready to act on surveillance info targeting bin Laden) Bush said "I am tired of swatting at flies". Me wantum big mess.

Jack, you have disappointed your compatriot immensely with that remark. Don't you want tax dollars to go to tax exempt churches so they can tell church goers to vote republican to stop the baby killers? What difference does it make to me or a neocon whether a woman wants to have an abortion? If they don't want an abortion, they don't have to have one. Why must they impose their beliefs on others. If they care so much about life, why don't they support welfare and education so thay can take care of the babies AFTER they are born? The repubs only pretend to are about cell clusters and fetuses. Once the baby is born its on its own. Their policies support my remarks.
