#1 Let me get this straight:a foreign government plans,organizes and carries out an attack on US armed forces and the Clinton response is to whisper the names of that govt.'s spies at cocktail parties.And for this the Clinton people want to be applauded.

#2 Glad to find I'm not the only one thinking such thoughts; I was afraid it was just me being grouchy because of the pain in my joints that's keeping me from sleeping tonight.

"But the Clinton administration had difficulty proving the charge because almost all the suspects were in Saudi hands."

Another typically limp-wristed response from the Clinton administration encouraging Islamic terrorists: go ahead and bomb American targets, it'll be fun watching them run around in circles trying to "prove" to themselves you did it.

And Kerry has already announced, as a campaign pledge, that he'd bring us back to the Clinton approach to terrorism.

God help us.

#3 Hmph. I actually like the concept of outing your enemy's spies, but for sure it didn't do much good here ...

#4 I would've preferred they identified them as spies when ID'ing the corpses

#5 So they exposed the grunts and let the masters keep plotting?

#6 Stupid, stupid, stupid. We "out" the ones we know, so they'll be replaced with ones we don't know. And Clinton is supposed to be so damned "brilliant". What a cluster-f***. Someone give this idiot a dull razorblade, so he can cut his wrists.

John Kerry needs to be nailed to a barn door in Oklahoma. Next to a trailer park. Maybe he'll be carried off to some place else, where he can do no harm. Unfortunately, there are 10,000 other dummycrats waiting in the wings, equally skerry, to take his place. God help us, we're surrounded by enemies, within and without!

#7 You Feeper Bastards! There's nothing worse than being outed in a decent country. Not that you would understand that of course. Lucky for you I am nonpartisan.

#8 How very "European" of the Clinton administration.

Ob pop culture ref: Sean Connery's soliloquy on how to deal with Capone in "The Untouchables".
