In their attempt to pin losing OBL on Clinton...
they may be opening a pandora's box that they will regret.

Okay, so we'll give them this, Clinton didn't do enough to catch Osama Bin Laden.

Now let's talk about what the Bush Administration has and has not done. It presents some hard questions that need to be answered.

Why have we apparently let Osama Bin Laden slip through our hands on so many occasions since 2001, specifically in December of 2004 when they had him pinned down in Afghanistan (as detailed in the book Jawbreaker by former CIA Agent Gary Berntsen)?

Why do we still maintain friendly relations with the Saudi Arabian and Pakistani governments even though the evidence is pretty damning that they are financing and supporting al-qaida?

Why was the CIA Unit tasked with catching him disbanded by Porter Goss?

Why is he not wanted by the FBI for the 9/11 plot and attacks?

Why is Pakistan withdrawing from al-qaida controlled territory and why is the Bush Administration allowing it?

1. Why do you hate America?
I so hope you are right. These are questions that should have been asked of the current administration all along. What will finally get people asking them?!

3. Hell, the only question that needs to be asked is
If Clinton's supposed inaction against Bin Laden damns him so badly, what does that say about Bush's not going after him AFTER the 9/11 attacks?

5. Clinton and Berger handed Bush and Rice the baton on this matter.
However, in the months prior to 9/11, it now seems Bush and Rice didn't merely drop that baton; they threw it into the dumpster.

6. They were already flying down the track
hand in hand racing for Iraq.

Clark was yelling at them, hey! hey!! You're going the wrong way and you forgot the baton.

7. Yep I Think The Will Regret It Exposing The "LIBERAL MEDIA"
This kind of shit works better under the radar where it is not looked at too closely....it's all so easily debunked and also debunks the stupid "liberal media" myth....

8. Repukes are Monday-morning quarterbacking ...
They're blaming Clinton for losing the "quarterback", and they keep crowing about how Bush has tackled some guy who doesn't have the ball ...
