He was too busy gettin' BJs from fat interns to actually be president and the whole pile has spun out of control because there was no one at the wheel.

I'm not sure that is true. He did bomb Iraq a lot, which never made the news. He bombed the hell out of Iraq. Things were different then. There was no way to really believe that we would suffer an attack as we have at that time, which is why the Bush Admin was caught off guard as well.

As far as the Moslems are concerned, they just got us when they were first able to, which is exactly what they will do again as their technology advances.

The bombings of Iraq were a classic example of the problem with the Clinton Whitehouse. He knew he had to do "something" but because he was risk averse when it came to the polls, and really wasn't into long term commitment all he ever did was some half assed bombings... usually timed to coincide when he was having other presidential problems. As Bush has shown us, bombing the bejeezus out of somebody can really help matters but if you actually want to accomplish anything you need ground troops, Billy avoided ground troops. Again look at the CIA reports about requesting permission to take out Bin Laden and his answer was know, even knowing from other activites that BL was a clear and present danger to the nation. As we learned very early in his presidency Clinton has a definite fear of body bags and once the Somalia thing occured he went WAAAY out of his way to avoid them.
