OBL is the worst threat to western civilization since Hitler.

There is no basis for this statement. It is highly unlikely, in my view, that Bin Laden has significant power at this point, IF he is even alive.

The liberals who are politicizing this (that would include YOU) are either ignoring or ignorant OF the source of Al Queda's power -- its cellular structure. This fact makes Al Queda difficult to deal with, but also minimizes the importance of any one individual. Bin Laden is NOT important, other than as a symbolic measure.

For this reason, a rational look at the problem leads to the conclusion that more concentrated powers such as Iraq and Iran are more critical threats. We can't do much about Al Queda. We can stop Iraq in its tracks. If we don't, and we do simply what Clinton did, we'll end up with another NK on our hands.

It is amazing to me that liberals are unable to think this through for themselves.

No one knew back in '98 just how dangerous bin Laden was. Furthermore, Clinton did not have the support to take him out

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? EVERYONE, even CLINTON, BY HIS OWN ADMISSION knew what a threat Bin Laden was.
