Ty, why can't you be fair and admit Clinton dropped the ball? It is this partisan intransigence in the face of what we know is the truth that is why Spanky won't classify you a moderate.

If Clinton dropped the ball, then Bush did too. The Cole was attacked only shortly before Bush was elected. Are you suggesting that Clinton should have declared war on Afghanistan? The 9/11 Commission Report explains that Clinton did not get the "res ipsa" evidence you -- in hindsight -- say he had and he thought he needed. But if he should have invaded Afghanistan in December, 2000, then why didn't Bush do it in January?
