Mr Sparkle said:so, here we'll see that THOSE RESPONSIBLE (those who comitted it and planned it) where captured. see, because cass doesn't know that in fact KSM wasn't a know player untill 1996, when he became one of the 2 or 3 most wnated terrorists world wide, and that infact Clinton did capture those responsible, but cass has troubles with logic.:heart:t::heart:
cass said:Not all of them, "logicking". He gave them tips, money, and retained knowledge of it. Even if he wasn't a known player until 1996, Clinton still had 4 years to get him. He didn't even try.
Mr Sparkle said:the people "responsible" for the WTC of 93 where aprehended.
sorry if you still can't grasp that.
oh and BTW I'm sure he "didn't even try"
cuz he is evil and stuff, and that's why he made them one of the most wanted terrorists, cuz he wasn't trying.t:

cass said:So when confronted with facts you can't counter and shows everything you've said's been wrong, you tuck tail and run off to another thread without responding to it.
You make your party proud.
Super_Ludacris said:smh@ the republi****s and Fox News
There gonna insinuate and blame Clinton now after 5 years of failing to get him?
What will these crackity cracks think of next?

cass said:Here's the thing. Clinton himself saying how he tried to kill bin Laden during the time possibly would be regarded as an assassination, which was illegal at the time. There is a loophole around that, but by using that loophole, it also disqualifies Clinton's claim that he couldn't hold bin Laden when Sudan offered him.
Clinton himself admitted that he was offered bin Laden in a speech when he says they did not take him because they did not think they had anything to hold him on.
They released him. At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America.
The words here do match the words in the 9/11 Report. In that report it is said that the Clinton officials believed that killing an individual that was an imminent threat to the US would be viewed as self defense, not an assassination:
Senior legal advisers in the Clinton administration agreed that, under the law of armed conflict, killing a person who posed an imminent threat to the United States was an act of self-defense, not an assassination. As former National Security Adviser Berger explained, if we wanted to kill Bin Ladin with cruise missiles, why would we not want to kill him with covert action? Clarkes recollection is the same.
If bin Laden was an imminent threat worthy of killing, why could we not hold him? He must have done something to be an imminent threat. Bin Laden was also picked up on video by a predator drone. The drone was armed and could have taken him out and yet the order to kill him was not given despite the assertions in the 9/11 Report cited above. This video shows that the administration was seeking bin Laden but the fact that he is alive shows they did not do anything once they found him. This was one of the questions the 9/11 Commission had to tackle, and that is, if we found him why did we not get him? Clinton was closer then, than anyone has been and still he did not pull the trigger. Bill Clinton might have come closer to having the chance of getting bin Laden than anyone else since but he did not take anywhere near the actions that those who followed him have taken to get the top terrorist.
cass said:Thanks for your brilliant contribution.
cass said:Some were and others weren't. I never said Clinton was evil. He just did not try. It's very plain and simple. Considering how you're the "master of logic", that was an incredibly weak follow up to FACTS.
Mr Sparkle said:I'm sure you think that "the people responsible where captured" is a weak follow up.
:masteroflogic:
cass said:Just wanted to carry this one over.
cass said:lol, you're such a moron. It's just funny now.
Mr Sparkle said:what did the 9-11 report say again? Just wanted to carry that one over.t:
Mr Sparkle said:again , I can see how you'd think it's funny.
too bad, those responsible where still captured huh?
Mr Sparkle said:CW: I asked a question. You dont think thats a legitimate question?
WJC: It was a perfectly legitimate question. But I want to know how many
people in the Bush administration youve asked this question of. I want to know how many people in the Bush administration you asked Why didnt you do anything about the Cole? I want to know how many you asked Why did you fire Dick Clarke? I want to know
CW: We asked
WJC: [..]
CW: Do you ever watch FOX News Sunday, sir?
WJC: I dont believe you ask them that.
CW: We ask plenty of questions of
WJC: You didnt ask that, did you? Tell the truth.
CW: About the USS Cole?
WJC: Tell the truth
CW: I with Iraq and Afghanistan, theres plenty of stuff to ask.
LOL, Wallace tries to sidestep it and fails. "About the USS Cole?"
no chris, obviously about Osama.t:
Wallace is one of the better journalists on the Fox network (that's why I watch him on sundays) but he is still under the rule of his fox overlords.![]()
Mr Sparkle said:LOL, Oh cass, you poor fool, Darthphere, here's cass's link
from cass's link
CLINTON: It was a perfectly legitimate question but I want to know how many people in the Bush administration you asked this question of. I want to know how many people in the Bush administration you asked why didnt you do anything about the Cole. I want to know how many you asked why did you fire Dick Clarke.
Wallace replied that such questions had been asked. Clinton replied: I dont believe you asked them that.
however, cass missed this little tidbit....
here's the question asked of him
"CW: but the question is why didnt you do more? Connect the dots and put them out of business?"
here's the question asked to the Bush admin:
" what you ended up doing in the end was going after al Qaeda where it lived. . . . pre-9/11 should you have been thinking more about that?"
anyone with half a brain would understand the one difference that made Clinton angry.
why didn't you do more?
do you THINK you SHOULD'VE done more?
anyone notice a difference?
yeah, pretty much.t:
so in the end, no, Cass, you fail.
Cyclops said:It's not even the same question really. "Why didn't you do more" is accusatory in tone. While "Do you think you should have done more" is more pensive, more recollective. It doesn't accuse him of not doing enough, but it gives him the opportunity to say "I wish we knew then what we know now, as I would have done so much more."
Anyone who believes that Fox News is fair and balanced like they claim to be should watch "Outfoxed", a documentary about Fox News and their bias.
cass said:If you knew how to read, you could see that it refers to the 9/11 report and what Clinton said in it.
cass said:Not ALL of them.
Mr Sparkle said:oh, I read the reportt: hence WHY your claims are sooooo funny.
truth is , financing was not taken into account in 9-11 when they listed "those responsible" (because it's not just osama but hundreds of people that finnace Al-quaeda, and not all of them are part of the organization itself) so, again, fine, have your victory.
