CJ, > What on Earth would you have considered a substantial action, then?

Actively raiding training camps, hideouts, etc. would have been a start.

The point is that the cruise missile attack was largely symbolic and based on luck. I could care less if the 75 cruise missiles represented our entire inventory. Even if that represented 10%, that's a colossal waste of resources unless it was part of a systematic anti-terrorism plan.

Now I can understand why Clinton didn't really have one, and I can understand why some would prefer that over Bush's "My way or the highway" neoconservatism. You want to split hairs and pretend that Clinton actually cared about getting Bin Laden, when the reality is that the only time he "cared" was in the context of second-guessing.
