Bush has failed to act also- at least as regards Bin Laden- and saying that somehow not getting Bin Laden made the invasion of Iraq necessary, or that it logically follows, is just nuts.

Bin Laden is a separate issue from Iraq. 9/11 is a separate issue from Iraq. Bush acted in some mighty strange ways, AFTER 9/11 and still failed to get bin Laden and Clinton failed to get Bin Laden before 9/11 (which according to so many folks "changed everything"). So I can't see much difference- except Clinton didn't invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 so bravo Clinton.

MY point is- after 9/11 (which changed "everything") Bush failed to get Bin Laden too. My point is that at least Clinton didn't invade a country which had nothing to do with 9/11, and terrorism directed at the US. I think I prefer one missile lobbed at the Chinese (who also had no connection to 9/11) to invading a country which had no connection to 9/11.

But I love how you roll all these issues up and try to make them seem logically connected. Bring it on.
