Quote:I knew Clinton had the opportunity to kill either Bin Laden or Hussein when he was still in office
I heard Clinton speak at a luncheon in Westbury, NY. He discussed that "opportunity." The intelligence was that he was located in one of two compounds but that both contained unknown numbers of civilians and the risk of massive civilian casualties was too high.
Of course, that was before 9-11. Sadly, now, I think we would fire anyway and not give a shit how many innocents had to die in the process.
We have fallen a long way off our moral high horse.
