OBL is alive, free, and making threats of another attack; same as before 9/11.

How are we any better off?

4. but I thought Clinton didnt fight terrorists
"Abu Jandal says America’s best chances to kill bin Laden came and went before 9/11. Paramount among them, August 1998, right after bin Laden bombed two U.S. embassies in East Africa. The al Qaeda leaders knew the Americans would retaliate, so they left their compound at Tarnak Farms and drove north.

"There was a fork in the road. One road leading to Khost and training camps, and another one leading to Kabul," Abu Jandal recalls. "I was with Sheikh Osama in the same vehicle with three guards, so he turned to us and said, 'What do you think? Khost or Kabul?' We told him, 'Let’s just visit Kabul.' So Sheikh Osama said, 'OK, Kabul.' "

Kabul it was. The next evening, 75 American cruise missiles slammed into the training camp near Khost, the road not taken. The CIA had intelligence that bin Laden was going to be at the training camp that night. "

5. Why don't you report some good news for a change?
like how nice it is in downtown Baghdad. How well the economy is doing. The latest barnstorming speech of the President.

This is the worst kind of 'reality-based' reporting that's is losing the war on terror.

7. Doesn't it seem odd that OBL seems to "show up" when....
...his good buddy, Georgie Porgie, is in hot water?

Hmmmm.

Georgie's in a LOT of hot water this time...does that mean the next "terrorist attack" is going to be a whopper?
