Bullshit. I remember the first time I ever heard of Bin Laden, via an interview in either Time or Newsweek several years prior to 9-11, and prior to 1998 as well. Back then he was already telling of the destruction he would levy upon America. And, we let him get away.
Now, whether 9-11 might have ended up as revenge for Bin Laden or not is irrelevant. That's absolutely no reason to let him continue and give him free reign to do it. It was Clinton who was running the show at this time, and it was he who refused to take Bin Laden when offered. Not the Republicans. Clinton. Therefore, he is responsible for allowing Al Qaeda to do what it did.
Quote:Like the evidence of how much the Iraqis now hate us, largely because of how badly we've bungled this war, means nothing to you? Or how the fact that the world hates America now more than ever before means nothing to you?
Not one bit, no. Like I said, we're out to eradicate enemies, not make first place in an international beauty contest. After all, the wrong people hated us already and attacked us, instigating the entire process. So why do I care if they hate us more now?
Quote:Iraq: Supports Palestinian terrorists against Israel. Other than that, no real support for terrorism. Afghanistan: Grows most of the world's opium poppies. Supports Al-Quaida strongly. Base for anti-American terrorists. So what does Bush do? Yup, he severely skimps on Afghanistan and leaves it to tear itsself apart again so that he can get back at Sadaam for his father's "mistake" of not taking him out! Great!
You're so shortsighted it makes children cry.
Quote:Oh, did you see Colin Powell's admission today that some of that "evidence" he presented to the UN about Bio/Chem weapons was 'shaky'? I thought so from the start, but it's great to see him finally admit it...
And?
Quote:And you act SURPRISED when anti-American/American-allied terrorism increases? Insane. Absolutely insane.
Not surprised, because terrorists as a rule are insane people and nothing they do is surprising. But unlike you, I prefer we eliminate those who threaten us, instead of surrender to them and allow them to do what they want. And because the right people think like I do, America is strong and dominant and you live a happy little suburban life. Keep that in mind.
