"At least we won't hit some camel in the ass with a missile"
They denigrated the attempts made against Al Qaeda by the Clinton Administration and made jokes about his efforts. Now they are trying to say he made no attempts at all. I wonder how many camels have been hit in the ass by this mis-Administration?

during this war.

I gave up keeping track, but I was noting that not that long ago ...

and the quote was "We're not going to fire a million dollar missile at a ten-dollar tent and hit a camel in the butt..."; as the Bill Press show noted this morning, that was in reference to Bill Clinton firing at an al-Qaeda training camp right after the USS Cole bombing ...

5. Actually That Was
Junior's statement on what HE planned to do about the USS Cole attack - Clinton stated (I've been looking for the exact quote & source) that he felt he had no recourses that didn't "commit the next Administration to a course of action." The Cole attack happened on Oct. 12, 2000.
