Yeah, this is one reason why I said this article is fucking with my head. Takes that seem right-on vs takes like this one. Like...Pepperidge Farm remembers when Bill Clinton was trying to call attention to Osama Bin Laden as a threat after the bombing in Yemen in 1997, only to be accused of trying to "Wag the Dog" by republicans who were obsessed with catching him out over having had "relations with that woman."

It's no wonder they fell all over themselves in performative fury over OBL after 9/11: only to forget about him again completely a few months later (funny how that happened, considering the Bin Ladens are Bush family friends and all) until he was caught ten years later.
