If he wasn't using it as a diversion, then he was so distracted by his own pitfalls that he couldn't concentrate. Either way, it's irresponsible and it contributed, along with his cowardice with the Cole and Black Hawk Down, to the boldness of bin Laden and the advent of 9/11.95DevilleNS said:On every point? Well, at least I scored 100%... I do not blame the Republicans for Clinton’s misdeeds, he had sex with Monica, it was his choice and it was wrong. But just as you have repeatedly blamed the Democrats for gimping Bush and cabinet for everything he does, therefore ultimately blaming the Democrats for our sh!t poor security, it works the same with the Clinton/Osama deal. Was Clinton only using the Osama issue during the MonicaGate trial as an attempted diversion?
95DevilleNS said:Sure, it's possible, but it is also possible that the Republicans going at Clinton’s jugular did distract him from the Osama issue, remember, it was a HUGE scandal, he was almost impeached.
Wrong. He WAS impeached, and it wasn't for playing hide the cigar. It was for interfering with a trial. He tried to get his secretary, Betty Curry, to lie for him. He tried to get Monica to lie for him. He lied on the stand before a judge, which got him a contempt citation and a disbarment. He lied in front of the American people, angrily and forcefully, just like he did Sunday, wagging his finger. The guy is a phony. If you can't see that then you're full of Kool-Aid.
Good question. I'd like to know why, when the phone call was made to tell him that they had bin Laden in the sights of the CIA, he didn't answer the phone.95DevilleNS said:If you are absolutely certain that Clinton could have killed Osama with a word, why didn't he then... What does being a "coward" have anything to do with it. He wasn't personally pulling the trigger, all he had to do was give the order, if you're going to say he was a coward even in that, he has given orders bomb and kill others during his Presidency [Yeah, he bombed an aspirin factory and some people in Kosovo. But he was unwilling to go in and invade Kosovo. He was a coward because he didn't want to take casualties.], why so cowardly now with Osama?
Well, that's an answer that Clinton was unwilling to give on Sunday. He was asked that question and he dodged it. Moreover, he lied about it. But if you want my opinion:
He didn't because he hated the military and was reluctant to use force. He also had hamstrung himself by adopting a crime posture against terror instead of a war posture. But that might be to complex for you to understand.
95DevilleNS said:Was Clinton the perfect president? Certainly not, but your bias clearly blinds you, the guy isn't the devil you make him out to be. Blame Clinton all you want, but killing Osama wouldn't have been a guaranteed deal that 9/11 wouldn't have happened.
And yet all the Democrats and the media continue to vilify Bush because HE hasn't caught bin Laden yet. Hypocrites much? Self-explanatory.
95DevilleNS said:You also need to take into account when you hate on Clinton, 9/11/201, who was in the Oval office on that date? The blame needs to be shared if anything, the actions that lead to 9/11 didn't start the day Clinton took office, it goes back even further.
I'm not defending Bush. You're trying to shift the blame off your boy Willie, who can't take the heat, because you can't take the heat either. He had years to get bin Laden, and Bush had months. Clinton admitted that he's the only person who had a legitimate shot at killing him, but he lied when he said he tried. He chickened out.
