Even this foreigner knows that Clinton actually launched a drone at Osama Bin Laden in the 1990s. He even warned GWB that Al Qaeda was a major threat. These things are well known and documented.The #1 reason why I have never liked GWB is that he ignored foreign policy and failed to target OBL. Even after 9/11 (when and where I lost a childhood friend), GWB decided to prioritise Saddam Hussein.
Because:“at the time, there was no real evidence that bin Laden had harmed American citizens. So even if the Sudanese government really did offer to hand bin Laden over, the U.S. would have had no grounds for detaining him. In fact, the Justice Department did not secure an indictment against bin Laden until 1998 – at which point Clinton did order a cruise missile attack on an al Qaeda camp in an attempt to kill bin Laden”Did Clinton pass on Osama
Is there someone out there, that hasn’t commited any crime, that you want us to arrest or kill? Speak now, oh great and wise psychic poobah.
Clinton launched missiles that missed. Payne has launched another right-wing missile that misses, the point, and the mark. Interesting that Clinton is now quoted as “supporting” MItt because he DOES support “Capitalism”, as does Obama. This is taken as an “attack” on Obama, yet NOBODY wants “W” to support MItt, as an idiot supporting a moron, might get “noticed” for what it would be?

Wow, Henry Payne is a bold faced liar. Clinton said he likes to think he would have had the courage to make the call.

Honestly, you are allowed to criticize Bush for doing his job, but we are not allowed to criticize Clinton and Obama for not doing theirs?

“Clinton turned down arresting Osama”
