Quote: Matter-eater Man said: Is it really unreasonable to want the made up stuff that contradicts the 9/11 commission report changed? Is it really more important to take swipes at Clinton no matter the facts?
do you disagree that Clinton could have assasinated bin laden multiple times but chose not to so he wouldn't suffer in his beloved polls.
Not sure how that would have hurt Clinton in the polls. I'm sure some people in the "I hate Clinton" club would have been demanding that Ken Starr get on that right away but the more average citizen would have cheered if Clinton had succeeded in assasinating Bin Laden.
80% of the country had no idea who he was. Clinton knew if he did nothing the polls would stay steady.
I think his failure to get Bin Laden isn't the same as "doing nothing". I've also heard arguments that Clinton built up Bin Laden because he was focusing to much on him. If Clinton had succeeded in getting Bin Laden it would have been a big boost in the polls for him. Even pre 9/11 Bin Laden had attacked & killed Americans. People would have been reminded what he did & Clinton would have gotten a boost in the polls. While the idea of Clinton somehow being a purely poll driven beast is something that you feel is true & that you absolutley know to be the case, I like the flawed guy & see him as a real human being. Clinton did some great things & for how much the far right hates him, he couldn't have been all that bad
