Not only were Clinton's retaliatory attacks against OBL and

Yeah, they accomplished a whole lot, didn't they?

the REPUBLICANS in Congress
considered them to be so excessive they called it 'wag the
dog'.

Not because they were "excessive", but because of their timing.

Regardless, the Republicans were very vocally opposed to action
against AL QUeda.

I don't remember that at all. Can you substantiate it?

My memory is that Republicans were opposed to *useless* actions, like blowing
up aspirin factories and empty tents.


George Will even alleged that becuase of the retaliation
Clinton might be a murderer.

I'm not familiar with that; however, considering that one of
Clinton's targets
was an aspirin factory with no connection at all to AQ, there might
be some
substance to that idea.

I remind you that the aspirin factory was financed by bin Laden

Was it?

and the Clinton administration presented evidence in the form
of chemicl residues in the nearby soils, that the factory was
being used for chemical weapons production. Though that evidence
was weak,

"Weak"?? Try "later proven absolutely, totally false".

I also remind you that the Bush administration has thus
far failed to present any similar evidence from Iraq.

What about that Sarin shell, Fred? Might not be much... but it's something.
