One thing I do question is what was the cost when Bin Laden was offered to us?
I do wonder if there were strings attached, plus at the time AL-Quida was at it heighth in "power" and Clinton could have feared that by taking him we'd see a lot of terrorism on US soil.
Or perhaps (and I am sure the Right will laugh and ridicule me for saying this) Clinton didn't because of what Bin Laden could say about his past dealings with the US and it would be more damaging than we may ever know. This very well could be the reason why Bush doesn't truly seek him out.
With Saddam, there isn't much that could come out that would harm us as much, if at all.
I don't think we'll ever truly know the truth, and maybe it is best we don't in some cases.
One thing I do give credit to Bush for is that Al Quida seems to have been weakened beyond repair. Key word "Seems". But he lacks the initiative to destroy it completely.... and sometimes if you do not destroy something, it comes back stronger than ever and you don't get the second chance to destroy it.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
