blame clinton for mishandling waco. he fully deserves it. as much as bush deserves blame for being asleep at the wheel (of his golf cart? of his bushwhacker?) despite being told that bin laden was determined to attack in the u.s. with hijacked planes, and for completely losing focus on af-pak and destroying american resources in a useless war in iraq/neimoller (Quote)

bilby commented on the word af-pak
"There has recently been much reporting on, and even some debate here about, the efficacy of the Obama administration's decision to increase the intensity of CIA missile attacks from drone aircraft in what Washington, in a newly coined neologism reflecting a widening war, now calls Af-Pak -- the Pashtun tribal borderlands of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Since August 2008, more than 30 such missile attacks have been launched on the Pakistani side of that border against suspected al-Qaeda and Taliban targets. The pace of attacks has actually risen since Barack Obama entered the Oval Office, as have casualties from the missile strikes, as well as popular outrage in Pakistan over the attacks."
