Senior + Cooler King
Clintons failures had zero to do with Monica, Ze - f**king -ro!
Lets be honest, That is not what most GOP say. Whenever you bring up the Clinton Presidency the first words out of their mouths is "Monica, sex, Monica, sex, Monica". Even your first comment was the 'immorality' of Clinton. Lets not beat around the bush, we all know to what you were referring to. Most GOP cannot help to Clinton WITHOUT bring up monica. To them having sex with monica WAS his greatest failure.
As I already stated, OBL wasn't behind the first WTC. That was Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman. Clinton was EFFECTIVE as he put him, and all those involved in jail. OBL wasnt even on the rader yet, the CIA thought he was a spoiled Saudi brat at the time.
You are measuring effectiveness only by the killing Bin Laden. All the anti-terror experts agree that if he were killed there would be 100 more to take his place. And speaking of killing bin Laden, Clinton certainly tried to have bin Laden killed on 3 occasions, they failed. The cruise missilie strike missed him by 1 hour.
But although Clinton didnt kill him he WAS EFFECTIVE in thawarting his plans. He destroyed his poison gas factories. He put pressure on the Saudis to expel him (not an easy task considering who his Dad was). He got all the world financial institutions to freeze his assets (also not an easy task, due to banking laws in certain countries). He forced Sudan to kick out bin Laden forcing him back to Afganistan. Clinton stopped al-Qaedas plot to blow up the 14 Phillippean airliners. And finally while he was in Afganistan he had to keep looking over his shoulder because there was a price on his head. He couldnt go out too long in the openn in daylight, he could use the telephone, he had to keep a small army to protect him.
What more could Clinton have done in 1990's? You tell me. Remember invading Afganistan was not an option at the time, Clinton would never have been able to justify it. Its very easy to Monday night quarterback Clinton after the game is over.
The bigger culprit is Bush, (which of course nobody will admit to) because he was warned several times about bin Laden AND DID NOTHING. It wasn't Clinton that got the CIA memo "Bin Laden determined to strike in US". And even after 9-11 he still doing nothing. In fact he has stated he doesnt care about Bin Laden.
Thanks, but I'll take Clinton any day of the week.
