#3 Come, come. Aren't you Bushies just the teensiest but disillusioned about your boy by now? Aren't you the slightest bit angry about the enormous waste of life and money in Iraq? Don't any of you ever look at a relative dying of cancer and think "What if the money had gone there?" Or at a child that you can't afford to send to college... (Coincidentally the funds for student loans shrink JUST shen they need more soldiers). Aren't you angry about this deficit? Doesn't it ever BOTHER you that the man sounds like a simpleton every time he opens his mouth?

#4 Grinetle Jesh2417:
Yes, I am a little bit angry about the enormous waste of life and dollars, but I don't blame Bush!!! He's a casualty of subversion, too, and the anti-American trans-nationalists are trying to make him (+ Cheney & Rumsfeld) the fall guy(s). If you have spent any time at all on the Burg, you'd know what you read in the MSM just isn't so, and would cry out for the real traitors to be prosecuted, preferably by a Sharia court.

#5 I think "What if Bill wasn't getting the million dollar blow job and did his presidential job instead, would the World Trade Centers still be standing and bin Laden be just a red stain on some Sudanese sand?". So many regrets GJ.

If wishes and wants were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas.

#7 Well, at least Clinton was getting a blow job by a real human being instead of oil corporations! Bush still has not taken down Bin Laden after five years, (a little distracted by that imminent threat, Saddam). If the leadership of the country, Dem or Republican, had spent the billions on alternative forms of energy instead or Iraq, we wouldn't need to BE in the Middle East at all, and we wouldn't be shipping all our oil money there either--one of the ways the terrorists are funded. Without our money they would be the poor nomadic tribes they were before. If we didn't need their oil we wouldn't be interested in being there on their lands--the thing that seems to piss them off, despite the Republican rhetoric that "They hate us for our freedoms".

#10 US missed three chances to seize Bin Laden
PRESIDENT Bill Clinton turned down at least three offers involving foreign governments to help to seize Osama Bin Laden after he was identified as a terrorist who was threatening America, according to sources in Washington and the Middle East. Clinton himself, according to one Washington source, has described the refusal to accept the first of the offers as "the biggest mistake" of his presidency.

The main reasons were legal: there was no evidence that could be brought against Bin Laden in an American court. Claiming credit for 2 embassy bombings not enough evidence or just not enough to tear Bill's brain away from Monica's face? But former senior intelligence sources accuse the administration of a lack of commitment to the fight against terrorism.

When Sudanese officials claimed late last year that Washington had spurned Bin Laden's secret extradition from Khartoum in 1996, former White House officials said they had no recollection of the offer. Clinton lied, thousands died. Senior sources in the former administration now confirm that it was true.

An Insight investigation has revealed that far from being an isolated incident this was the first in a series of missed opportunities right up to Clinton's last year in office. One of these involved a Gulf state; another would have relied on the assistance of Saudi Arabia.

#15 Link for The Sunday Times of London article referenced in #10 & 13: US missed three chances to seize Bin Laden
Notice the date is Jan 6, 2002 while the date of the article referenced by GJ in #11 is Dec 7, 2001. After a few months of lies by former Clinton officials, the they were forced to admit the truth. But for Clinton officals, a few months of stonewalling, while the WTC wreckage still smoldering, was a new record for truthiness.

#16 To #11 Grintle Jesh -- Strange, the link you provided doesn't support your contention. While there's a lot of he said/ she said confusion about what Sudan offered, the link does seem clear that the US failed to request extradition of Bin Ladin so that when he was booted out of the Sudan he was free to set up shop in even more inaccessible Afghanistan. This was malfeasance and the buck stops at the top on an issue of this magnitude.

#17 So, I assume GJ's open to us drilling in ANWR and pursuing our (domestic offshore) own petroleum resources? Or, heck, I'm even to the point of accepting wind power off Nantucket.
