without knowing what 2 times you are talking about, I will just say there was reason for them. IN at least one case I know of, there was members of the Royal Family of the UAE in the same area, and they did not want to risk killing some Royalty in the strike. That said I wish he had got him, and Clinton has said he did as well. But when they did launch a attack to try to kill him, missing him by a hour, in that Cruise Missile attack , the Republicans Screamed wag the dog and cried about it. The Republican party has nothing to stand on in attacking Clinton over his role against OBL, as its not like they ever made it a issue, did anything about it, and attacked Bill when he did. In Power, they did nothing at all , until the towers fell.
Both made mistakes, but in my view Bush was far worse because he was told how big a threat obl was, but did zero about it. Clinton I can only say did not do enough.
Also Note that this "lefty" has been attacking people for those remarks about Saddam, and calling on the US to do more, and be more forceful in dealing with Terrorism since long before Sept 11. It has been the right that has brushed aside the facts, and pushed OBL off to the side, because they wanted Iraq, even though Iraq was contained, and we had bigger issues in the middle east.
