The Logic Off Topic list

It came out that Bin Laden could have been killed had the US not been so 
concerned about the loss of innocent life. When Clinton ordered the 
cruise missile attacks on the reported chemical weapons plant in Sudan 
and Bin Laden's camp in Afganistan, the US was worried that there may be 
workers in the Sudanese plant, so they waited. Also they needed to make 
the strikes simultaneous so no one got tipped off. Consequently they 
waited to strike some hours. By that time, Bin Laden had escaped. And the 
rest is history. We lost 6,500 civilians so that some Sudanese bomb 
maker's lives are spared - all but a few I think. (But of course, >some< 
will be concerned about those bomb makers.)
