So, in other words, you are claiming that Clinton and Bush were the
same. So, of course, you will call for the impeachment of Bush? Oh,
just in case you happened to miss this while reading your right-wing
rags...

Bush slow on bin Laden drones before 9/11
WASHINGTON (AP) � Prowling the skies over Afghanistan in the months
before President Bush took office, unmanned and unarmed Predator
drones proved to be one of America's major successes in its
frustrating hunt for Osama bin Laden.

But the promising aircraft remained grounded under the new
administration until after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, say current
and former U.S. officials who describe a paralyzing internal debate
over finances, arming the drones with deadly missiles and concern over
who would take the blame if something went wrong.

As late as a week before the suicide attacks against New York and
Washington, senior administration officials meeting at the White House
had not yet resolved questions about plans to equip each Predator with
as many as two Hellfire missiles to kill bin Laden, these officials
told The Associated Press.

This came despite the remarkable successes in the fall 2000, including
what many intelligence experts concluded were three separate sightings
of bin Laden during a series of 11 Predator flights over the Afghan
desert.
