Hillary Clinton said, 'After all, we still haven't captured Osama bin Laden, have we? And isn't it about time that we got serious about that? I intend to.'
It is just hilarious to hear a Clinton who was in the White House for eight years complain about not getting bin Laden."

well at least they did invade a country instead of finding him.

Hillary was not president.
The United States considered Osama to be a threat before 1998, but not as much of one as he turned out to be. According to international law, they could not kill him.
After the cole was bombed in 1998, Clinton ordered an all out attempt to capture Osama, and made clear that if he was killed in the process it was acceptable. They were unable to do so.
When Clinton left office he understood that Bush's primary concerns were Iraq and building a missile shield. Clinton warned him that Terrorism, North Korea, and middle east diplomacy were far more important.
Bush ignored the advice, 9/11 happened, and Fox and the republicans have tried to blame it on Clinton.

Oh yes it is not like Clinton was occupied with the Republican Congress who was hellbent on destroying the man due to their petty vindictiveness.
I mean it is not like Bush was President when Bin Laden did attack us. Or have years to find him. Or invade the wrong country for a lie.
By all means lets lay the blame for this one solely at the feet of Bill Clinton.
It couldnt possibly be the fault of Carter and Reagan for funding the mujahadeen in the Russian/Afghani war which led to the creation of Al Queada.

Is there a question in there?
I think I follow... I'm just bloviating, again.
You don't like Hillary, am I right?
I don't really care for the woman, but I also don't see how we could do any worse than with the trained monkeys in charge right now?
Let's just not have a President of U.S. for awhile.

This just goes to show you the flawed liberal thinking.
They knew:
-Where osama was
-Had satellite intelligence where he was
They:
-Were told he was dangerous and did nothing
-let al-qaeda get stronger
-let al-qaeda bomb embassies and still did nothing
Let's elect hillary and let another clinton make a joke out of the whitehouse.

Considering that the Clintons had at least five chances to get him. AND TURNED HIM DOWN.

no, it's not....Bill Clinton had weekly meetings about bin laden, and it was a high priority of his to catch him......the republicans said he was overexaggerating bin laden's threat and "wagging the dog" to distract from the whole lewinski scandal
Bush never had a single meeting about bin laden until after 9-11....for shame

Billary is just as full of crap has her husband.
And you're right - it *is* funny to hear this from her, after all of Slick Willie's buffoonery.
