Tucker keeps claiming that Clinton had five chances to get OBL.

2. He's just doing what Rummy, Condi & Sure Shot have
been doing all week; Lying about the "Path to 9/11". . . . blatantly contradicting what was in the Commission Report.

3. Have you ever heard Clinton deny it?
I don't know why we keep defending this guy when he won't even stand up for himself.

4. I've never seen anyone actually pose the question to him.
I've seen him call bullshit on the Sudan story.

11. Why should Clinton deny it?
The wingnuts always come up with crazy shit to pin on Clinton. Why should he feel compelled to answer every single wacko charge they come up with?

6. Clinton did say he was "not that concerned" with getting Osama
Oops. I meant BUSH said that. Bush IS president right now, right? Why is Tucker talking about Clinton?

9. It was during the Path to 9/11 run up.
He's said it a few times since then. I figured it was bullshit, but I wanted to find out from others who might know a little more than I do.

7. If Clinton had a chance at bin Laden he would have got him
It is easy for an armchair critic to say they can get bin Laden, it is far more difficult to actually do it.

The President is not a criminal investigator, all he can do is give orders but ultimately it is the CIA and other law enforcement agencies that are responsible for capturing terrorists.

With Bush however it is a different story, partially because of the hypocrisy of the right-wing blaming Clinton for not getting the guy when they can't get him either and partially because Bush actually had ties to the bin Laden family and Reagan and Poppy Bush actually helped train bin Laden.

8. If someone brings that up to me I don't think I will play
defense. I think I will do what the Repubs do so well--go on the offense. I will say, "5. That's an interesting number. Bush has had 5 years to get Osama. Where is Osama?"

12. And Junior has had five years to capture OBL
and that was after being caught with his pants down reading My Pet Goat while OBL orchestrated taking down the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on his watch.
