That was bait. You took it and now you're hooked. This is from MSNBC so we know it's the truth.
Osama bin Laden: missed opportunities - Nightly News - msnbc.com
What bait?
Did you read the article?
In reality, getting bin Laden would have been extraordinarily difficult. He was a moving target deep inside Afghanistan. Most military operations would have been high-risk. Whats more, Clinton was weakened by scandal, and there was no political consensus for bold action, especially with an election weeks away.
Clinton talked about this too..

Yes, I read the article. I read it a long time ago. Read the headline of the article from MSNBC. Read everything up to the point of "In reality". You can't dismiss that huge part of the article. Of course it would be difficult to get him. I never said it was easy. Look how long it took us after 9/11. There is just too much evidence. Clinton messed up.
First off..you link some ridiculous blog stating that the Sudanese offered up Bin Laden on a platter to which I showed a real live newspaper article which showed the Sudanese had no idea about the where abouts of Bin Laden at the time. But I even offer you a way out of that one an pose a question..which you refuse to even answer.
Then you post another right wing myth "as bait" then post a link unrelated to the Sudanese myth. What point are you trying to make here?
The second article points out that it would have been extremely difficult to muster support for an operation in Afghanistan. I would say it would have been impossible given the Republican opposition to anything Clinton did.
And this is what I mean about the right wing. You aren't trying to solve problems..you are trying to "blame" the other guy. And that's a terrible way to formulate policy.
