#10  I suspect he would prefer folks forget that Bin Laden was offered up and he declined for legal reasons.

Better to decline to save lives.

And i know the second event came after embassy bombings.

#8  [Ed] Mezvinsky was indicted in 2001 and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 felony charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud. Nearly $10 million was involved in the crimes. Ed would be the father of Marc, Chelsea's husband. Ed fell prey to nearly all the 419 Nigerian scams, got in debt and became a scam artist himself.

#6  There are some similarities between Clinton and Obama--both are Democrats, both are narcissists, and both are black according to the MSM.

#5  I am leaning toward P2k's assessment. In addition to their numerous enemies, the Clintons represent a control problem for the democratic party.

The dems may also be looking into the future at the potential of the Clintons spawning an unwanted follow-on Chelsea Clinton - Marc Mezinsky dynasty.

#4  You are most likely right PK2. The Clintons have made a lot of enemies in the Party over the years. Hildebeast is mean-spirited and vindictive. Perhaps Party members are looking to Elizabeth, "the fake Indian" Warren as their Prez. candidate in 2016. She seems appropriately unhinged enough to satisfy their needs.

#3  Someone is preparing the political battlefield against the Clinton machine. Come right here for a front row seat for the Trotsky-Stalin fight.

#2  I believe the quote is from Felix Dzerzinski, head of the NKVD under Stalin: "There is no regret greater than about the man you could have killed but didn't."
Iron Felix didn't make that mistake very often. (KGB [now FSB] headquarters at the Lubyanka has a statue in front of it. This guy.)

#1  "I nearly got him. And I could have killed him, but I would have to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and kiddies,

Sea stories from an insufferable, clueless wanker.
