Don't need to ask why. The R's never would have let him do it. He would have been doubly crucified.

ROLFLMAO!!! Who are you trying to KID??!!!

Y'all have been accusing conservatives of being "trigger happy" for decades.. And suddenly you're trying to say that Republicans wouldn't have permitted Clinton from taking down the Taliban and Al Qai'da back in 1998??

The only criticisms from conservatives that I recall (related to counter-terrorism) was that Clinton was being ineffective and not going FAR ENOUGH..
