Our Newest Op Ed
Bubba's Boo Boo (Creating Unity In All the Wrong Places)
- By R.A. Hawkins
Last week I wrote about all of the unity Bill Clinton created in the Communist Bloc countries. Before I get to some of the other unity he managed to create, I would like to point out that he split this country in many ways. By the time he was 'out of there' race relations were at an all time low and peoples faith in their government was pretty shaken. Here he was a divider. For our enemies he was a uniter.
Quite a few pundits have written about his failure to accept Osama from Sudan when he was offered to us. Because of that I'll not get into that other than to say, "There's something really wrong with that boy." There was yet another bungled attempt to get Osama out of Afghanistan. Prince Faisal of Saudi Arabia had managed to broker a deal. The Taliban was ready to hand him over. All they wanted was to be officially recognized. In response to the Embassy Bombings in Kenya and Tanzania Bill Clinton fired off a few cruise missiles and hit the training camps that Osama used for training terrorists. He also hit a facility that everyone probably remembers as being an 'aspirin factory'. The camps also contained five Mosques so the image of destroyed Mosques and burned Qurans became popular fare for the Mid-East media.
When Prince Faisal went back he had to try renegotiating the deal. There was suddenly a bit of a problem though. Omar had decided that he had to sign on with Osama because he was suddenly a hero. He wasn't about to hand him over because it would have incurred the wrath of everyone in the area. Bill Clinton's failed attacks had created a new dynamic, which put Mullah Omar and Osama in a position where they had to join forces. Osama had just been elevated in the eyes of the Moslem world. Prior to the attack Osama's bodyguards and the Taliban soldiers had exchanged gunfire several times. The Pashtuns of the Taliban thought Osama the Arab was arrogant. I can't imagine why they would think that.............
