<<One of the legacy's of Clinton's presidency, one that will probably haunt him until he dies, is that he did not have the resolve to deal with this problem after the embassy bombings in 1998.>>

That is SO TRUE...We knew Bin Laden was a serious threat and was training hundreds of dangerous fanatical terrorists...We should have acted several years ago...The FBI's $5 Million price tag on Bin Laden's head is complete joke...Bin Laden's network has recently inflicted OVER $50 Billion in damages on the U.S. (not including the potential losses due to the new levels of fear that consumers now have). Why didn't Clinton motivate the CIA to hire THE BEST MERCENARIES AVAILABLE IN THE WORLD..? They might need sophisticated intelligence and probably would quietly need to be paid several hundred million dollars to take out Bin Laden, his ring leaders and his camps. There are factions within The Northern Alliance that might have actually done this for us...Yet, we waited and took 'the safe route' to try and punish Bin Laden with some missles -- it's clean and it destroyed a few camps BUT we missed Bin Laden and his key people. We became complacent in regards to terrorism AND paid huge price earlier this month...We have had an incredible wake up call and now I believe we are commited to going after Bin Laden and his network. Yet, they are more powerful now and the battle will be a long one...It's one we CAN NOT afford to lose.

Just my views.

Regards,

Scott
