Both argue that Clinton grew into considering Al Q as his top priority such that by 1998 he was obssessed with it.

If this is true, Clinton did a good job of hiding such an obsession from the public. He could have made the issue an item in the national discourse, heightening public awareness of AQ's dangers. He did nothing of the kind.

The only public acts Clinton took, the bombing of the aspirin factory and the cruise missiles, are not suggestive of obsession. If he was obsessed, he had the power of the presidency to use to satisfy it. A very mild and meek obsession, I would argue.
