So even after all this you have no problem with the Clinton Admin cozying up to Bin Laden associates?
4 actual attacks on Americans overseas, 8 credible threats to attack U.S. soil even specifying airliners and the eventual targets, how much more did the Clinton administration need to pull their heads out of their collective asses? This went on over the course of both of his terms, 1993 - 2001. They were damn well aware of Bin Ladens affiliation with the KLA while Clark was pressing the flesh with KLA leaders, quite the Neville Chamberlin.Congressional Record: September 26, 2002 (Senate)

HOMELAND SECURITY
In September 1998, the Intelligence Community obtained information that Usama Bin Laden's next operation could involve flying an aircraft loaded with explosives into a U.S. airport and detonating it; this information was provided to senior U.S. Government officials in late 1998.
In the fall of 1998, the Intelligence Community received additional information concerning a Bin-Laden plot involving aircraft in the New York and Washington, DC, areas;
In November 1998, the Intelligence Community learned that a Bin Laden was attempting to recruit a group of five to seven young men from the United States to strike U.S. domestic targets.
In the spring of 1999, the Intelligence Community learned about a planned Bin Laden attack on a U.S. Government facility in Washington, DC.
Additionally, in 1999, the threat of an explosive-laden aircraft being used in a suicide attack against the Pentagon, CIA headquarters, or the White House, was noted in a Library of Congress report to the National Intelligence Council.
In late 1999, the Intelligence Community learned of Bin Laden's possible plans to attack targets in Washington, DC, and New York City during the New Year's Millennium celebrations.
On December 14, 1999, an individual named Ahmed Ressam was arrested as he attempted to enter the United States from Canada with detonator materials in his car. Ressam's intended target was Los Angeles International Airport. Ressam, who has links to Usama Bin Laden's terrorist network, has not been formally sentenced yet.
In March 2000, the Intelligence Community obtained information regarding the types of targets that operatives in Bin Laden's network might strike. The Statue of Liberty was specifically mentioned, as were skyscrapers, ports, and airports, and nuclear power plants;}

Guess what Davo?! I'm in love with the Orbit Gum girl, I just realized it! I think it's the way she talks.
Anyway...Wesley Clarke has Operational experience commanding over 100,000 troops. The Republican media has been demonizing him for years, even during the war, because they're well aware that an unbashed Wesley Clarke is a huge threat. While Republicans call anyone who questions Ceasar, sorry I mean Patreus, an "out of line" traitor, Wesley Clarke took all kinds of shots from an infant Fox news. He shouldn't have given that rabble of hyena's called the McCain campaign strategists ammo when he tried to point out the he was a high level commander, and McCain was not. After that Republicans say that Clarke beat up McCain's 90 year old Mom. Pee'd on McCain's lawn. And was responsible for having drinks with Milosovic and....I'm sorry.....(Choked up)....I can't say the rest...(sob)
Hey Prag! Oh yea! I just don't think the Obama campaign people could manage his liabilities. I hate giving credit for that to Republicans especialy when 90% of the party are meglomaniacs. They have an arsenal of allegations proven and otherwise and treat even the unproven ones like the word of God.
I think Obama will find someone with street cred in economics. He's going to take the reigns as a CIC. JMO
He just realizes that once we got into Iraq (which he didn't want to do) then the best course of event from us would be to stay there a few years to see if it could work. and it has.
There was nothing he could do about the destruction in Iraq after the invasion had taken place. He knew that we couldn't go back in time.
