"The enemy of my enemy, is my friend. " Or haven't you heard that one before? At the time of regan, bin laden was our friend.
At the time Clinton had the opportunity to take him out, bin laden was not our friend. Obviously at the time the government though bin laden was a very serious threat or they would not have been in a position of asking for permission to take him out when they had him in the cross hairs
You were bringing up pasts to make a point of fault. I followed your lead.
I've heard that quote before. I'm sure it's what FDR used to justify his dealings with the devil "Uncle Joe" Stalin. Bin Laden was our friend, and it was Reagan's creation. Reagan and his pals are responsible for it. Much like how Dr. Frankenstein is responsible for his monster.
I only followed Liability's lead. Point is, if you want to blame Clinton for Osama Bin Laden, you're going to have to ignore the 80's. Also, you can blame Reagan for Iraq, Saddam was our friend until he found out that we were giving the Iranians some weapons on the side to kill Saddam. Not very friendly, wouldn't you say?
