This was like 10-12 years ago. Sudan had him. They offered to hand him over to us. Bill Clinton declined the offer fearing political fallout. If any fingers are to be pointed in regards to not getting bin Laden when we should have, it's pointing directly at Slick Willy. He had him on a silver platter and he turned him down because he was too afraid of hurting his public image.

Oh...You already knew that..lol...Oh well..I mentioned it anyway :)


As for the rest of what you said (in this same post)...I agree 100%

And the REASON that "We aren't only after bin Laden and al-Qaida either. There is a war on terror and any nations that harbor terrorists, so it's not limited to only al-Qaida."...Is that we are trying to quell the HUGE amount of hatred and bloodlust for our destruction ALL OVER the Middle East, so that they will no longer be a threat (or as much of one) to us...We went after Saddam first, because he was one of the biggest perpetrators of the brutality, oppression and tyranny that causes the type of mentality that is dangerous for us....We were just cutting off the head of the snake, before we moved on to the rest of the body...That's the best tactical move in ANY war plan...

We also have to try to change the way these people are educated, so that eventually the children won't be taught and trained to kill us, throughout their entire childhoods...

In my opinion, North Korea is the next biggest threat (if not AS big a threat as Saddam)....Syria is up there, too...
