DeLay Indicted

What do you consider to be passing the blame?

If we are talking about Osama bin Laden and 9/11, is it valid to talk about Clinton, in his own words, saying that he could have taken bin Laden from the Sudan, but decided not to? Or how they military had Osama in the sights of a predator drone armed with missiles, and he wouldn't order taking him out, even though he knew the man was responsible for the Embassey bombings?

My goal is not to start a discussion about terrorist, 9/11, or whatever, but simply to ask i that is passing blame, or bringing something relevant to the table.

Look, you want to blame anyone about Bin Ladin and his ilk, you'd best start with the Saudis. And their friends. While you're at it, find out why the Saudi government is inflicting even harsher treatment on women and other religions, despite the fact that they promised to be more tolerant. They were told that there would be sanctions if they didn't clean up their act, and now they are getting yet another pass from the USA. Lots of people, including Bush, passed up opportunities to nail Bin Ladin. Hell, Bush has started two frikken wars on the pretense of trying to get the guy, but he just keeps slipping through our grasp. Our entire military and intelligence units can't catch up to him, and apparently it's Clinton's fault because he didn't go after him when he wasn't as good at hiding.

(Never mind the fact that it would have been against then-current laws, and his political opponents would have screamed bloody murder. Look how they reacted when he bombed Tripoli).

Give me a break.
