When it came to confronting the horrors of Islamo-terror, Bill Clinton was clearly a wretched failure. Why? Because he treated the bloody manifestations as if they where minor transgressions.
Instead of recognizing the attack on the USS Cole for what it was, an act of war--Clinton merely treated it as a crime. He demonstrated a profound lack of urgency by allowing the deadly aggression (17 sailors where killed) to go unpunished.
Time and time again the nation's first draft- dodger-in-chief treated acts of terrorism
(1993 World Trade Center, Khobar Towers and the African Embassies) as inconsequential criminal acts that warranted little more than a police investigation.
Sadly, it was this laisser-faire attitude towards terrorism that emboldened bin Laden to strike America with such ferocity.
So, despite Clinton's recent "I tried to kill Osama" self-defense spasm--the facts tell a different story when it came to Bubba and terrorism: Oh, what a wretched failure.
