No, not at all. I forget who said it-"Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it."

We should never forget, but Im also numb towards it.

Yeah, and from when I was watching the history channel, Clinton knew that Osama was in this one camp. But there was also a member of the Saudi family there, so he didnt bomb it.

Which was more important? Oil or terrorism in that? And why was a Saudi member there?

Osama is a member of the Saudi Royal family. I doubt your claim.

Though Clinton has stated that he should have been less concerned with trying to capture him and had greater millitairy involvement. In 1998, Clinton did indeed attack a camp where Bin Lauden was supposed to be. http://www.ishipress.com/osamasur.htm

Ask the president who diverted reasources sufficient to get BinLauden to invade Iraq.

I thought the Bin-Ladens were just a wealthy and powerful family, i didn't realize they were royalty as well. Are you sure that's accurate?

Good catch... you are correct (I just looked). That said, I still doubt the claim made. I'm aware of a couple of failed attempts that I know reasons for, and that's not a reason I'm familiar with.
