Diplomacy Over Military Action Let Osama Go...Uhhh...
WASHINGTON - Lacking the detailed intelligence needed to strike directly at Osama bin Laden, Clinton and Bush administration officials fruitlessly sought a diplomatic solution to get the al-Qaida leader out of Afghanistan, a federal panel reported Tuesday.

In the end, it said, pursuing diplomacy over military action allowed bin Laden and other al-Qaida leaders to elude capture.

Uhhh, excuse me, but didn't military action sort of, you know, fail spectacularly to capture Osama bin Laden?

This is the best they can come up with?

1. Ain't it funny?
kill kill kill all sorts of innocents and children and babies and still no Bin Laden

This stupid Bush administration knows nothing but pre emtive killing, even if that means the thousands of innocents in the way are murdered in our name, while the desired capture of the "leader" ( for PR purposes only, you can be sure) is not forthcoming.

They are trying desperately to nail this whole thing on Clinton. What cowards--what mealy mouthed bastards.
