Not only were Clinton's retaliatory attacks against OBL and
Al Queda more than nothing, the REPUBLICANS in Congress
considered them to be so excessive they called it 'wag the

Clinton might be a murderer.


Clinton was trashed, by an entire zoo of conservatives/right
wingers for pushing anti-terrorist legislation and airline security
legislation. And they shot down most of it, including a bill
allowing the gov't to freeze financial assets of organizations
suspected of funding Al Qaeda. Phil Gramm was the big
man on that one, pushed along by the banking industry.
