freespeak: "So, Clinton accomplished exactly what Bush did... We didn't have another terrorist attack on US soil for the remainder of his two terms."
U.S. embassies are considered U.S. soil. Al Qaeda bombed two embassies in Africa in August 1998, killing hundreds and injuring over 5,000. Al Qaeda also bombed the USS Cole, killing 17 sailors and nearly sinking that ship.
Those attacks, as well as 9/11, were apparently the "messages with no words" that bin Laden said he would send Clinton in response to Clinton's policies vis-a-vis Iraq. Bin Laden claimed that those policies killed more than 500,000 Iraq children, a statistic that Madeleine Albright seemed to accept as true.

P.S. I hope no one minds me calling the author of this dreadful and dishonest column "Horseface." It's just that after reading her column and the comments, I wanted to fit in with a little name-calling of my own.
