When you refer to Clinton almost got bin ladin,you're referring to thefact that he almost accidently got him during the wag the dog antics during the idiotic sex scandal.
Gee that's a pretty disingenuous statement, and a distortion of facts, if I've ever read one.
See my problem with Democrats is that they always "play nice" all of the time.
Speaker of the House Tom DeLay wanted to impeach Clinton because HE wanted a different President. As I understand the facts of the time, Clinton didn't act on capturing Bin Laden, or killing him for the very reasons that you're accusing him of here;
"wagging the dog."
To even bring up the topic suggests that either you've been drinking the kool-aid yourself, or you're late 20th Century American history is a little fuzzy, or biased.
The way that I understand American history, especially the last twenty years of the 20th Century, is that Presidents Ronald Reagan, and Bush41 armed Osama Bin Laden covertly, in an attempt to help him beat the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.
Clinton saw that Bin Laden was turning against American interests, but there was this issue about a blue dress that the GOP was fixated on at the time.
Then there's the Taliban, who given an offer of being
"carpeted with gold, or carpeted with bombs," apparently chose the bomb route, when G.W. Bush couldn't persuade the Taliban controlled Afghan government to negotiate for oil/gas/pipleline and/or the release of Osama Bin Laden.
The Saudi Arabian based Bin Laden family has close ties to the Connecticut Bush family for years.
What was Bush41 doing when he wasn't a Congressman from Houston, Texas or VPOTUS of the United States? Among other things he was the former director of the CIA.
You know what they say about CIA don't you? Once CIA always CIA. That's where the intel is!
What better way to make use of it, than being a politician within the GOP?
But HELL let's BLAME the Democrats. After all they've only held the White House FOUR times; Kennedy, LBJ, Carter, and Clinton, during the past 50 years!
While the Republicans have held that office SIX times; Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush41, and Bush43.
I think I'm getting where you're coming from!
