2. My friend insists that Clinton dropped the ball by not taking out Osama
when Clinton at least took a few shots out of it and was roundly accused of a "Wag The Dog" strategy. So when I brought that up to him, he says:" Yeah, like liberals are accusing Bush of a "Wag The Dog" war in Iraq."

Huh?

The truth is Clinton didn't do enough. Definitely. He could have done more. But where Big Dog didn't do enough, Bush didn't do anything at all. Not to mention going after terrorist finance networks. Clinton went slow on that, but Bush has seized following the money trail completely, and that's after 9-11! Can't get too close to those embarassing Saudi-Texas Oilman contacts, can we? Mr. Bin Laden, Mr. Mahfouz, Sheik Baksh, The Family Bush. Pretty cuddly and cozy group there.
