LOL. just being the usual obstinate snowman? You must have seen/read this 100 times
whats left out is the added fact that by 1995 the Clinton administration knew of OBLs links to the first WTC bombings. The Afghan offer was in 1996.

Well, at least he didn't give aid to him like Reagan did with Osama and Sadam.

You do understand that throughout military and political history as far back as its written, alliances change over time, and that will be the case forever?

That doesn't make it right.

LMAO. Ok, from now on every alliance of every nations shall be permanent and unchangeable. Because you say it isnt right to change them. What a maroon.

You're a hoot. In your eyes, pointing out that allying and arming ruthless dictators has long term consequences makes you a "maroon". Talk about someone who doesn't know how to learn from history.

What part of "every" don't you understand? His asinine take was that it is wrong to change alliances, period. In times of crisis you ally yourself with those who can help your cause and deal with the fallout later. If you lose the first crisis because of fear if allying with "strange bedfellows" there may be nothing else to follow.

And your asinine take is that there's no problem allying and arming with ruthless dictators like Saddam (even though it goes against all the principles your country supposedly stands for).
