Christopher Ruddy recently wrote a column and here are sum details:
We received stark confirmation of this on Sept. 11, 2001, when 19 hijackers engaged in the most horrific attack on the U.S. homeland since Pearl Harbor.
There is ample evidence that Bill Clinton and his administration had solid opportunities to kill or capture Osama bin Laden, but failed to act.
Bill admitted he had the opportunity to get bin Laden before he left the Sudan in 1996, but declined an offer from the Sudanese to turn him over to the United States.
We do not know the full story of what happened during the Clinton years in the lead-up to 9/11, partly because Bill's National Security adviser, Sandy Berger, as we now know, went to the National Archives and stuffed them into his socks and underwear...

"The terror front was not the only national security lapse during the Clinton years, however. It was during the Clinton presidency that China became a major nuclear superpower. It has been acknowledged that some of America's most guarded nuclear secrets, including our ballistic missile technology, were passed to China with the president's OK. Before this, China was so backward that its missiles would often blow up soon after launch. Today, they can hit U.S. cities with pinpoint accuracy."

I can't believe Beachbum is the top answerer. Maybe she works in Yahoo's We-Are-liberals policy department.

There is no reason she would not be a great Commander in Chief. Hillary is tons smarter than Bush and wouldn't act like a neanderthanl and conquer a nation just because she can...

The truth is Bill Clinton was not a good foreign policy leader for this nation, in honesty he sucked but because he kept people happy people over look this. Yes Bill has the opportunity to kill bin Laden, no Bush senior did not, because at the time bin Laden HAD NOT attacked the USA, that happened during the Clinton years. Anyone remember the first bombing of the WTC?
Hillary doesn't have the knowledge or respect for the military to be its commander in cheif.
BTW, the congress isn't in charge of the military, the President is.

The reasons HIllary would not make a good CIC are obvious. As she has so often pointed out with Obama, she has an experience deficiency that is undeniable.
1.) By her admission years ago, she "loathes" our military. Her husband even said, in writing, that the U.S. military is the embodiment of evil in the modern world.
2.) She has neither served in the military nor has she studied military tactics. She has no experience nor formal education in warfare and does not posess even the rudimentary knowledge of warfare taught to a Private First Class in the Army.
3.) She endorsed the failed military policies of the former Clinton administration that led directly to the 9/11 attacks, the reduction in the number of troops in our armed forces and the degredation of our intelligence agencies, including the CIA and the FBI.
4.) She judges matters only in view of the ways that effect her own power and prestige. Even now, she is openly separating herself from her own vote for the war. She is willing to say that "Bush lied" about WMDs in Iraq. However, her own husband said the same things when he attacked Iraq on December 16, 1998. Although she defended her husband's assertion and his bombing of Iraq, she, like other dems and the liberal media, continually fail to accuse the Clinton administration of lying about Iraq's WMDs. We cannot afford to have a CIC who will wait for poll results before prosecuting a warlike conflict.

The communist mainstream media has successfully brainwashed the American sheeple into believing that the Clinton years in the White House were positive for the country. Lord help us all if Hillary is elected in 2008...we'll all be speaking Mandarin by 2012...

She might start an illegal war against the wrong nation that ends up bankrupting the USA and ruining our status around the world not to mention crapping all over the Constitution in the name of homeland security?

Hillary Clinton might not be a good Commander-in-Chief because she is not interested in the anti-terrorism policies of the present administration. Terrorism is the main problem of America and this must be solved because it will destroy economy and disturb public order.

There is some truth to this, but the more salient reason is that she would not prosecute the war against the terrorists. We can choose to win that war -- or to lose it. Will it take the nuclear destruction of a US city to finally get people to realize that the terrorists mean to kill us?

At this point, it wouldn't matter if Hillary won anyway. This country is in such deep doo from the current administration that no matter who gets in there, it'll take a whole lot longer than 4 years to get things semi-normal again. One thing is for sure, she couldn't possibly do anything worse than Captain Dumb@$$ we have now.
