Quote:President Clinton's national security adviser, Samuel R. Berger, rejected four plans to kill or capture Osama bin Laden, worrying once that if the plans failed and al Qaeda launched a counterattack, "we're blamed."

I've always thought that while Bush is a little too gung-ho (read: Iraq), Clinton was a little too weak-kneed. As far as Berger's comment, the whole notion of Al Qaeda needing a "reason" to attack Westerners - or Americans in particular - should hopefully be long gone by now. Sure, I wish we'd have far less of a World's Policeman foreign policy. But OBL's so-called 'grievances' of a few troops stationed on Saudi Arabia's Muslim turf (guests of the Saudi government) and US support for Israel just doesn't cut it.

...and FWIW, I would imagine that Kerry wouldn't make those kinds of mistakes that Clinton did. You just don't pass on Al Qaeda members - big or small - in the post 9/11 world.

I don't think the worry is he'd miss al Queida...rather he'd miss the next concern when it comes in a slightly different form.

Kerry's fondness for the Europeans should set off alarms. If anti-semitism is on the rise, that's the canary in the mineshaft for worse things.

I'm also disappointed that the popular media let go of the story of Sharon's claim of anti-semitism. Once again, anyone who's putting together the "big picture" based on these sources, is woefully uninformed.
