Osama Bin Laden was being watched and was supposedly "contained" as well

Granpda... When Clinton was in office you wouldnt have to go looking on the internet for dirt on him... He pretty much brought enough out into the open by himself.

Sorry, Curtie, but Osama was/is not the head of a regime in a strategically important geo-political area. He did not have sanctions leveled against him. He was no more "contained" than you or I.

I realize that Clinton-bashing has become a national pastime rivalling baseball, but eventually some of you will need to put things in perspective. Clinton's sexcapades significantly pale in comparison to the loss of life caused by Bush's world-opinion-be-damned attitude.

When pundits around the world wrote of Clinton's scandal it was with a wink-wink, nudge-nudge, atta-boy smirk. Time will tell how the world evaluates Bush, but thus far it is with a disdain and abhorrence of his arrogance.

So what? Who cares what the world thinks - we're Americans, by God! Sorry, but that attitude just doesn't work in today's geo-political arena.

Umm goharley...

Do you and I have whole sections at Langley watching our every move, looking for evidence of our location, to tip off local authorities for our arrest?

And sorry to bash your beloved Clinton... You're right, having a man who can't hold back his sexual desires as president is far better then a president who doesnt turn a blind eye to embassy bombings and such.

Sorry man, but when I'm 40-50 years old (if I make it ), I'll be living in the world our leaders are making for me now... Although I dont agree with all Bush's environmental issues, I do like the fact that I may be able to live securely in a nation not under attack.

I'm sure that above question is rhetorical, and, honestly, I don't see where it fits into the discussion. However, I think it makes my point of not being contained.

Read material other than National Review and you'll learn that most of the individuals responsible for embassy/US interest bombings have been apprehended. (Oh, and btw, coincidently, none were Iraqi) These people are apprehended through the help and cooperation of other governments - we don't send our law enforcement all over the world chasing bad guys. It's called a good foriegn policy.

Now imagine if you do live to be 40 or 50 and our leaders, by then, have trashed our foriegn policy so badly that other governments are no longer willing to help us hunt down terrorists. It's already happening. (do you really think bin Laden and Hussein are that good at playing hide and seek without help?) Will you then still feel safe and secure?

That says alot where your coming from. Blinded by the idealogical light. Free your mind from the left vs right shackles.

Check this out if you want a laugh. I thought it was pretty funny when I clicked on it.


Try this soon, before Google changes its no.1 site:

1) Go to Google.com;

2) type in (but don't hit return): "weapons of mass destruction";

3) Hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button, instead of the normal "Google

4) READ what appears to be a normal error message carefully.
