The best time was probably when he was in the American Hospital in Dubai, only two months before 911. I wonder why the local CIA agents didn''t pay him a visit ... Oups, they did ...

Yes, next thing you know, they will out covert CIA agents ...

Is there now a terrorist alive who does not know that waterboarding is a physical/psychological trick and not the real thing, forcing the hard boys of interrogation to resort to burying the buggers alive as the required logical extension of effective technique? As if we don''t know who well the Dimnowits just give away our national security.

Now the former president fails to see how Bush''''s policies in Iraq will succeed just as his did in Bosnia. But his partisan myopia should not cloud our vision. Success in Iraq may seem as unlikely as it once did in Bosnia. But, if we persevere, it will come just as surely." *** Morris

This is comical - Clinton was/is a visionary and a peacekeeper for the most part - Bush just walks in and pisses off the world and incites anger and war wherever he steps. Two different leadership styles - one a good leader the other (BUSH) a criminal!

READ THIS ONE THEN LET IT GO...

"Fortunately, Bill Clinton had the courage to defy the United Nations in 1995 and act to bomb the Bosnian Serbs (with NATO cooperation and sponsorship). Then he had the foresight to send in U.S. peacekeeping forces, a deeply unpopular step.

Now the former president fails to see how Bush''s policies in Iraq will succeed just as his did in Bosnia. But his partisan myopia should not cloud our vision. Success in Iraq may seem as unlikely as it once did in Bosnia. But, if we persevere, it will come just as surely." *** Morris

So who exactly are we out there (in that region) to get ? Posted by parrot2

We are in IRAQ to help them stabilize and establish their government. We are in Afghanastan for the same reason, only it''s the Taliban we are contending with. It''s a big picture and I''m not sure you are capable of getting it, or want to.
