Interesting points After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six and injured 1,000, President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 7,000 people would be Alive today.
** An interesting question: This question was raised on a Philly radio call-in show. Without casting stones, it is a legitimate question.
There are two men, both extremely wealthy. One develops relatively cheap software and gives hundreds of millions of dollars to charity. The other sponsors terrorism.
That being the case, why is it that the US government has spent more money chasing down Bill Gates over the past ten years than Osama bin Laden?
**It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8 Million for her forthcoming memoir. Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir. This from two people who have spent the past 8 years being unable to recall anything about past events!
Absolutely Incredible!!
When is Justice Department going to do the real Justice?
Start a rumor that the Clintons have promosed to give all the proceeds from their books to the Firemans fund.
That might shut them up for a while.
With his numbers so high, if he began to weed out the anti-americans - starting at the top (klintoons!) he would be a real hero!!
That is the greatest idea I have ever heard in my entire life!!!!!
What does Hillary make for her big Senate job? About $140k. Her home is DC is about $3 Mill. So payments would be about $30,000 a month not including taxes and insurance. That's over twice her verified income before taxes. She needs that shake down money from Simon and Shuster.
The 1993 attack was squarely aimed at killing 50 thousand people by causing one tower of the World Trade Center to topple into the other tower. The result would have been a nearly instantaneous total collapse of both towers. All those inside the fully occupied towers would have had no chance of escape.
I have heard 9/11 referred to as a "wake up call".
Wrong. 1993 was the wake up call. No further proof was needed to prove that the bad guys were serious. To stretch the analogy, the media, congress, most of America, and above all Slick Willie hit the snooze button.
I'll bet Monica was hunted down and "punished" too.
Give me 20 "hail Peters" and all is forgiven...?
Huh? Marine barracks located in what was effectively a war zone could qualify in many peoples minds as a military target to the warring factions. Reagan IMO made a mistake by presenting such a tempting target in a possibly noble but misguided attempt to bring peace by merely showing the flag. He then went over the top in his speech, he was smart enough to realize that committing a few hundred thousand US soldiers and Marines to years of urban warfare was not a good idea.
Please note however the after the Libyan air strikes in the early eighties, Libyan has at least maintained a low profile.
Now on to Slick. Arafat as the most frequent foreign visitor to the White House. Gerry Adams was given the royal treatment. Puerto Rican terrorists were given ammnesty. Other than rounding up a few nuts in Jersey city there was no follow up on the 1993 WTC bombing which had it been successful would have been much more deadly than 9/11. Then there were the Monica BJ obfuscation / retalition strikes. Yes obviously Slick was much better at fighting terrorism (sorry for the sarcasm, but I cannot think of anything the WJC did in this area the could be construed as effective or even well intentioned.)
