Bush Administration - Attack Subs called off of Afghanistan patrol.
Edited on Tue Aug-16-05 12:47 PM by redqueen
I've seen two Washington Post articles cited for this claim, but both only seem to refer to Clinton's order to have those two subs sit there waiting for a chance to take Osama out.

Anyone have a link referring to to the order from Bush?

3. Yeah ok nitpickers...
Off the closest coast to Afghanistan.

Can I get some relevant replies, maybe? Or would anyone else like to nitpick and not offer anything worthwhile?

4. Don't get your panties in a bunch.
Nitpick?

If you want some "relevant replies", you might want to start with a geographically correct OP. Kinda destroys any credibility you might think you have on the subject.

5. Don't get insulting.
If I was asserting that I had any "credibility" (eyeroll here), would I be asking the question here?

The fact is (obviously) that I don't know of the original cite for the claim, and am having trouble finding it. I'd like to know if it's bogus or not... so whatever you're trying to say about my "credibility" kinda fades into meaninglessness there, doesn't it?
