Talk:Osama Bin Laden (view source)

This article both claims (incorrectly) that Clinton took no action against Bin Laden and also (correctly) claims that Bin Laden was targeted in a cruise missile strike. Both cannot be true.--[[User:Mrvipond|Mrvipond]] 10:39, 14 December 2007 (EST)

::The cruise missile attack was an attempt by Clinton to distract people from the Lewinsky scandal. It wasn't until after the Sept 11 attacks that Clinton started claiming Bin Laden had been the target. Before then the justification was a series of vague references to "insurgents." The article should either drop the reference to the cruise missile attacks or clarify their relevance. I vote for clarifying, because if the mention is dropped critics will claim we're censoring data. --[[User:AlexC|AlexC]]
