General Schwarzkopf all but got down on his hands and knees and begged him to let him do so. So, why didn't he? Would the attacks on September 11th been derailed if he had??
I agree, Babe. But we, as Democrats, really can't go there, because the same can be said for Bill Clinton and bin Laden.
If Clinton took him out back in the '90s, when he was CLEARLY within our reach, would 9/11 have happened anyway?
I've said this before, yes, the attack on the Cole, etc. were all precursors of the horror to come. However, I believe there were two reasons:
1. We were too fat and happy to make waves. It was a time of unparalleled prosperity for many, and we honestly didn't care.
2. Now, with 20/20 hindsight, we can say this. But could anyone really envision that madmen would fly commercial jets into buildings? I know that my first thought after hearing that a plane had flown into the World Trade Center was that it was a small plane that accidentally flew into the tower.
