PS: Bush spent 7+ years impotently looking for him. Found nothing.
Nobody impeached him; douchebag.
If Clinton had authorized the killing of OBL when he had the chance, not only would 3,000 Americans from 9-11 be alive, but every soldier killed and maimed after would have been spared. We are in four wars now with no end in sight that would have not have happened had Clinton done the right thing.
And if you want, we can get into Clinton causing tens of thousands of Rwandans to be hacked to death with machetes too.
It’s too bad for you History is far different than your fanciful illusions.

Perhaps you will notice the dates and who was President from Jan 1993 to Jan 2001.
* February 26, 1993 -- A bomb explodes at the World Trade Center in New York City, killing six and wounding hundreds.

He signs and issues a Declaration of jihad from Afghanistan entitled, "Message from Osama bin Laden to his Muslim Brothers in the Whole World and Especially in the Arabian Peninsula: Declaration of Jihad Against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Mosques; Expel the Heretics from the Arabian Peninsula."
* February 1997 -- According to court documents, bin Laden orders the militarization of the East African cell of Al Qaeda, a move that culminated in the bombing of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania on August 7, 1998, eight years to the day after U.S. troops landed in the Saudi kingdom.
