After that we got thousands dead in 9-11 and the cause of the War on Terror enabled by Bill Clinton.

Add the Chinese repair to their missiles and guidanced systems by Loral directed by Gore and Clinton so they could finally reach more than Alaska and now accurately kill us all and you get the worst President in history. Even worse than Obama and Carter because though they destroy economies, Clinton actually enabled a nuclear threat against us.

Of course Obama is enabling soon Iran and that could perhaps tie him for worst with Clinton in the future.
So nice how you conviently leave out Bush and Reagan.

Clinton had Bin Laden twice at least and let him go. If Clinton had killed Bin Laden the times he had the chance to there would probably have been no War on Terror, no money spend and probably mostly none of our soldiers and allies killed.

Thank Bill Clinton for 911 folks.

Want links, look them up in the news all over google.
They had Osama Bin Laden and let him go after he declared war on us.

Bill Clinton let this cancer of Bin Laden survive and we later got the war on terror and 911.

Facts are facts folks.
Don't give Bill Clinton too many pats on the back.
He may have loved BJs from young girls in the White House, but he sure didn't fulfill his duty as President to protect this country IMO.

My conservatives are very quick to invent a simplistic narrative.

First the nation was attacked in 1993 like 2 weeks into Bill Clinton's first term. Who is responsible for that attack? Surely you aren't going to argue that Bill Clinton weakened the military in 2 weeks time. Your whole point is destroyed by the reality of the first terrorist attacks in 1993, like 2 weeks into the Clinton presidency.

More importantly, I distinctly remember that when President Clinton ordered a strike in Afghanistan to kill Bin Laden many elected Republicans Senators even said that the President was wagging the Dog. Trying to create a distraction because of the Lewinsky situation.

Ahh, the nutty right wingers are once again trying to rewrite history and substitute lies for truth.

The reality is the Clinton Administration kept telling the Bush administration that OBL was determined to commit terrorist attacks in the US and that serious efforts had to be made to stop it. The arrogant Bush administration though ignored the Clinton people because they were determined to do the exact opposite of what ever Clinton had done. That meant the Bush administration actually gutted counter terrorism funding and laid off counter terrorism experts so who exactly was responsible for 9/11 again?

Default Another ridiculous Pub view

America was attacked after the village idiot took office. bin Laden, noticing how idiotic this country had become in electing that Republican imbecile Bush, decided the time was ripe to execute his plan. What followed was Neanderthal diplomacy and a total failure by Bush and Republicans to manage the domestic agenda.

You Pubs can't get away from the fact that 9/11 happened and the response by Bush and Republicans was the worst in history. Romney no better.

Osama Bin Laden declared war on America well after Reagan. He decided to take down the west and all that was not Islam.
Brings it right back to Clinton.

Clinton refused Bin Laden when offered to him by another nation and he refused to kill him a couple of times with drones when they had him.
So thanks to Bill Clinton we have 9/11, the War on Terror, and trillions lost having to defend ourselves agaisnt radical Islam.
On top of it, Turd Clinton gave China the ability to nuke any city in the United States. That makes him worse as a President than either Carter or Obama IMO.

Again, nobody had offered Bin Laden to anyone else before like they did Clinton. Nobody had two opportunities to kill him with drones like Clinton had.
The issue was that if Clinton either took possession of Laden or taken him out the three times he had the power and control to do so in his hand, NONE of 9/11, the thousands dead, the trillions spent, the War on Terror would have EVER HAPPENED.
The successful attempt on 9/11 was enabled by Clinton not taking or killing Bin Laden while he was in his hand. He didn't have to find him, he had him or was offered to have him turned over.

Yeah, when Clinton had Osama Bin Laden in had three times he did nothing, but once some little girl was sucking him in the Oval Office, THAT'S when he found religion... Gee wonder why people would have thought that was wagging the Dog.

Had the turd Clinton taken Bin Laden or killed him the two times he had him there would have been no 9/11, no thousands dead on American soil, no success by Radical Islam to try and do more.

Bush could have consentrated on other issues instead of having to defend America in a War on Terror.

Thanks Bill Clinton for thousands dead, trillions wasted and for having our economy damaged at that time.

This is utterly absurd. I have defended Romney on several threads, but blaming Clinton for the actions of a single maniac who was forged in the fires of the Soviet/Afghan war decades earlier is simply wrong.

Clinton was a bad husband but a decent President.
