Ok. Do you think that he would have had the slightest chance of pushing those policies though the Republican Congress between 1998-2000. How would Lott, Delay, Hastert, et al. have responded? Maybe Clinton should havea launched a retailiatory strike aftter the election but before the inauguration?
Instead, he stuck to trying to kill bin Laden quietly, and without the benefit of the significant technological advancement in weaponry in the past 4-6 years. That excerpt from Clarke points out -- counter to the stuff we hear from the rabid right (or event he center right nowadays) -- that the Clinton administration did more than a little against terrorism, and foiled many plots.
