Yeah blame Clinton. It was Clinton's fault. oOo: If I remember in 1993 when the first attacks occurred on the twin towers, Clinton was only in office for a couple of weeks. I did not hear anyone from the left blame Bush Sr. for the intelligence failure during the first attack. As a matter of fact, instead of spouting a lot of rhetoric, the individuals responsible for the attacks were caught and prosecuted and are currently under U.S. custody. Has the person responsible for the second twin towers attack been caught huh. Where the hell is Osama Bin Laden, the master mind behind the attacks. Instead this adminstration took the eye off the ball and diverted its attention towards another target that was of no threat to the United States. Please do not give me this rhetoric that the United States went into Iraq to liberate the poor Iraqi's. Bull, they did not ask to be liberated and the fact remains the objective of the invasion was to find the Wmd's which up until now have not been found. Other countries drastically need the help of the USA. Where is the USA where countries like Zimbabwe, Sudan, Haiti, and others really need the help and ask the help of America.

clinton may have only been in office for a few weeks when the first attack happened, but what did he do about it?

also, you make it seem as if it should be easy to find ONE person in the ENTIRE world.

of course they didn't ask to be liberated, they'd be killed under Saddam.

And yes, I think we should do more in Africa, but we need a president who will stick with it, not like Clinton who gave up in Somalia after 13 soldiers were killed in Mogadishu. If we want something to change there we need to have some sort of determination that Clinton's administration lacked.
