So basically, 9/11 happened because Clinton was a sissy?
I am tempted to claim that a
few more circumstances lead to
everything Bin Laden related.
How about we blame the CIA/US Gov. for getting in touch with him in the first place, train him, support him and even call him an Allie as long as he was useful to the US?
"Hätte, hätte, Fahrradkette!" 
Also, this argument still stinks, Armistead, and you might think differently if one of your relatives would be among the drone victims just to get a suspected target.
What if your family would have been at risk from that very particular strike against Bin Laden?
That's what I thought.
I'm sorry for painting this grim scenario, I just try to make my point clear.

Exactly, very well put!
