Clinton: I warned Bush about bin Laden threat [I really, really, really did!]

"A U.S. plane was to fly in," Cloonan said. "And he [bin Laden] would have been greeted by an FBI agent, who would have said, 'Sheik bin Laden, there is a warrant for your arrest,'" he said.
But when the details of the operation went up the chain of command for approval, according to Cloonan, Reno killed it.

"They came to the decision that this plan was probably too dangerous, that the loss of life on the ground would have been significant," Cloonan told the news network. There was concern that people around the bin Laden compound would be killed."

Funny, those arguments sure didn't stop Reno from acting on Mount Carmel.

Clinton told the audience his inability to convince Bush of the danger posed by al-Qaida represented "one of the two or three of the biggest disappointments that I had."

Let me guess what the other two or three were...

1. Failing to act on the 1993 WTC bombing

2. Failure to act on the Khobar Towers bombing

3. Failure to provide adequate support for Task Force Ranger, Mogadishu, Somalia

4. Failure to act on the bombing of the USS Cole

5. Lying to a Grand Jury

6. Having sex with an intern in the people's house

7. Marrying Hillary

8. Not hitting on Babs,Cheryl,and a host of other Hollywood slut puppys when he had the chance

9. Not taking enough saxophone lessons as a kid

10. Failing to properly wash out precious bodily fluids from Ms. Lewinsky's blue dress

11. Allowing himself to be captured on tape laughing at Ron Brown's funeral

12. Yassar Arafat

13. Al Gore

14. Inhaling

15. Getting only a feel of that female enlisted airman on Air Force One

You know, Bill, to say that YOU are one big disappointment would be an understatement. What a lying, devoid of shame, piece of filth you are. You aren't worthy to lick the Iraqi dust off of GW's Navy flight boots.

This dead Army Ranger being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu has more legacy than Bill will EVER have or comprehend.

Gunner, Target! Breaking Right!
