Meanwhile, Bush forgets about the Taliban and Osama in Afghanistan, and inadvertantly creates a haven for terrorists in Iraq.
Nice Job George W. Bush!

The Bush administration gave $95 million to NK and waived nuclear inspections.
And since when was the Taliban overthrown? You can't completely eradicate them, and I never said he did. But Bush has not won against them. He has made them stronger.

What makes you think Pakistan could have found Osama and handed him over? They only offered to extradite him to Saudi Arabia. Also, Clinton's administration caught Ramzi Yousef and his group who were responsible for the 93 attacks. So what do you mean he did nothing?
The Bush administration IGNORED CLINTON'S WARNING SIGNS ABOUT OSAMA!

You are only "better" at war when you avoid it. Clinton tried to do that. Bush, instead, called himself the "war president" and ran headlong toward it. Bush failed.

No, he left the mess that George Bush is now having to clean up.
Clinton ignored al qaeda in Afghanistan and Africa
Gave North Korea money while ignoring the fact they were still building a nuclear bomb.
Pretty much let Saddam defy UN inspectors for years.
I suppose George Bush could have taken the Clinton approach after 9/11 and done nothing, maybe his job approval would be higher now and the Democrats would probably be complaining that he wasn't tough enough on Terrorism.

Just exactly when did Clinton "beat the Taliban"? Was it when he refused to take Bin Laden into custody when he was handed to him on a silver platter from Pakistan, or was it when he did NOTHING about the 93 attempt to blow up the World Trade Center. Oh, I know, it must have been when he again did NOTHING when they attacked the U.S.S. Cole. Think about it smarty-pants, How long was Bush in office when 9/11 happened? Who set the foundation for the attack by making the terrorists believe that the U.S. was completely impotent and would never take action. It was CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!
See if you can ask more intelligent questions. By the way, if you don't like keeping the war in the middle East, perhaps you would prefer more terror attacks in the U.S., Britain, Spain, or how about in your home town. The nut job terrorists are going to fight somewhere. How about we keep it in their home town.

When did Clinton "win" against the Taliban??? By throwing a few random tomahawk missles at some camp in the middle of nowhere. Clinton won nothing.

What are you talking about? Clinton did nothing to the Taliban. He did bomb an aspirin factory in Sudan and we later paid damages for that misguided attempt to get the news media off the credible accusations of rape and sexual harassment!
Clinton was better at seducing interns, raping fellow politicians, and sexually harassing visitors to the White House.
Search on Juanita Broaddrick, Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willey.

Wow! Rank partisan assertions based on fiction. It doesn't get more entertaining than that.
Just because the media isn't covering Afghanistan doesn't mean we are not doing anything there.
This is what happens when you listen to toe liberal media.
Research what the Torricelli doctrine is and you will find out just how the Clinton administration handcuffed the US intelligence gathering community. Let's not forget what he did to the size of the military too.

I hate to rain on your parade but the Taliban was overthown while Bush was president not Clinton.

No he wasn't. He is just remembered as a President that kicked the crap out of some people that posed a threat to our National Security. To win a war, you have to put boots on the ground and hold it. Tomahawks are a good way to soften up your enemies.

You talk pulp. If Clinton "Won" against the Taliban, how come we are still fighting them now?

Clinton was better at picking wars with little relevance to the fate of the world.
