 RetweetClinton Goes Nuts

Mon, Sep 25, 2006 at 11:37:27 am PDT

Hot Air has lots of commentary on Bill Clinton’s paranoid public meltdown: Slick Willie’s Day of Rage. I haven’t seen anyone mention it, but I don’t think it was only anger—there were slurred words and strange broken sentences.

UPDATE at 9/25/06 11:58:04 am:

Matt Drudge noticed the slurring too; here’s a clip at Johnny Dollar’s Place: ‘You Do Not Touch the Interviewer’.

Clinton is way guilty of doing something wrong...yet again.

I found something interesting today, George Bush is financing the rebuilding of Lebanon. For those who are interested here is the story:

Bill was a bit purple in the face, now wasn't he?!

5 Cartman  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:40:51am

Absolutely. Slick's performance was disjointed and ragged. Not to mention semi-rabid.

6 FrogMarch  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:40:58am

The entire Democrat party is off their collective rocker.

7 billhedrick  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:41:49am

hmm When I listened to it, he admitted to contracting with people to have Bin Laden killed. IANAL, but I think that's a federal offense.

8 Mike McDaniel  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:42:09am

"Goes"? Wrong tense, I think.

"Has always been" would be better.

"Finally proven to be a dangerous psycopath" would be the most accurate.

The only thing I can say about this moral degenerate is that he was not as bad a Presidnet as Jimmy Carter.

10 kayatribe  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:42:48am

Personally, I've disliked Mike Wallace and his little punk of a son for a long time, so I actually enjoyed watching Chris made to look foolish.

11 bolivar  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:42:56am

Chris Wallace just sat back and let him sputter...he just fell apart. His fall from grace is complete. Ah yes, he has come from the dark side of the force...no that was a movie - dammit he is still a lib.

Yep! This latest episode by Willie made my whole day.

13 nonic  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:43:42am

On NPR today, the liberals (show hosts AND call-ins) were all THRILLED that "finally, somebody is standing up to the right!"

One woman said right after she heard Bill's blast, she immediately wrote a check to the DNC.

14 NYCRepublican  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:45:01am

I just heard a few cuts on Rush's show. He ABSOLUTELY sounded slurred - almost as if he had suffered a stroke.

15 Ben Hur  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:45:07am

If only he wasn't soo busy looking for UBL! Then he would have time to get blown under his desk while speaking to senators on the phone! And Arafat wouldn't have had to wait in the next room for soo long when he was inserting a cigar in a 21 year intern!

Damn you UBL, DAMN YOU!

20 Cartman  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:47:08am

Clinton has been, and always will be an icon to the neo-libs. His intellectual and moral dishonesty mirrors theirs.

21 Ward Cleaver  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:47:12am

#17 nonic

Clinton's performance?!? What about Monica Lewinsky's "performance"?

22 brent  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:47:38am

I had initially heard that this was a stunt, designed to make the dems look tough. I heard Wallace say later that Clinton tore into his staff, threatened to fire them if they ever set him up like this again.

Un. Hinged.

No wonder he got so lathery about the 9/11 film, he's nuts about keeping his legacy intact, whatever that could mean.

23 unreconstructed rebel  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:47:47am
when he was inserting a cigar ...

Never quite got the appeal of that one.

24 cptham  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:48:02am

"Personally, I've disliked Mike Wallace and his little punk of a son for a long time, so I actually enjoyed watching Chris made to look foolish"

How exactly did Chris Wallace come off as foolish? His old man is a kool aid drinker from way back but Chris is a good solid journalist. Wild Bill is used to softballs like "What kind of underwear do you wear?" When presented with real questions of his record, thats what you get. HOW DARE YOU QUESTION MY LEGACY?Way to go Chris.

25 doppelganglander  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:48:05am

Even my apolitical teenaged son caught a few moments of the meltdown and commented on it. Wallace really struck a nerve, huh Willie?

26 Ben Hur  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:48:15am

It's come to this.

Some fat chick shows her thong, and POW!

27 svjathi  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:48:46am

I have a feeling that Mr.Clinton is regretting his meltdown yesterday. Chris Wallace was the wrong person to who Clinton should have ranted. Chris always comes out reasonable and humble (much unlike his arrogant senior) in any interview he does. I still remember his piece on the O'Neil rant against John F Kerry.

You could feel the anger Clinton had towards the docudrama presented by ABC recently. That had Clarke to be the know-all on terrorism. Clinton also seems to think that Clarke is the greatest authority on terrorism.

Some thought!

28 cicero05  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:48:56am

A presidency spent attending fund-raisers, marketing the Lincoln Bedroom, hanging out with Hollywood celebrities and chasing interns leaves precious little time for national defense.

29 BabbaZee  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:48:56am

Don't bother, they're here!


but I don’t think it was only anger—there were slurred words and strange broken sentences.

31 MysticSmoke (from finger tips)  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:49:32am

Did anyone notice when Clinton said, "President Bush fff... didn't succeed." I think he was about to say, "President Bush Failed." Nice save Mr. Clinton!

32 DocDublU  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:49:53am

I could swear that I saw Clinton holding two silver balls in his hand, repeatedly swirling them around and around while muttering something about missing strawberries...

33 Occasional Reader  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:50:25am

Oh, come on now.

Yes, he went into a self-serving hissy fit, and conveniently forgot to mention things like the Sudanese offer to turn over OBL. But let's not breezily imply he was, what, drunk, drugged? Makes us sound like KosKids.

Oh, and #19 liberality--

Yeah, and I'm sure if the Bush administration had dropped ordnance on Afghanistan in summer of '01 based on that report, you'd have backed him all the way, right, asshat?

Another 'vast right-wing conspiracy'. It's quite possible he's losing his mind. Paranoia piled on top of narcissism. What's next?

Hillary should learn from Nancy Reagan. Protect and shield her husband in his sunset years.

39 Just_A_Grunt  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:52:17am

Slick Willie went into that interview knowing something would be asked about his what he knew and when did he know it about UBL. Whenever Bubba is spinning a story the give away is the biting of the lower lip. I am sure Hillary learned early on in thier relationship to recognize this as a sign of his lying.
I am going to do some serious research on this fella Richard Clarke that he seems determined to depict as the be all and end all expert on Islamic terrorism. I always viewed him as only having one oar in the water and more inclined to tell his boss what he thought they wanted to hear rather then what they needed to hear to keep his job.

40 Occasional Reader  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:52:49am

What was especially pathetic was Clinton's mewling of "oh, you big meanie, you LIED to me, you said we'd be talking about the Clinton Initiative!" Hey, dumbass, you were president of the US for 8 years, don't you think people might have a few questions for you other than "exactly how wonderful is your latest eponymous initiative, sir?"

41 brent  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:52:50am
didn't do anything in response to a memo saying, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Within U.S." Oh wait

I would think the fact that UBL declared war on us back in the 90s might have warranted a little action, too. Do a google on willie and UBL then compare that to slick and sadaam - it's a little lopsided, if you stick to when he was in office.

If you look at what he accomplished in that same time, it's all in his mind.

42 the Boodge  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:52:53am

This just shows you that Clinton is and was a complete failure!

43 FrogMarch  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:53:22am

The media proves it's collective left-wing bias by the way it treats Clinton; It's just as Michelle says - the with kissy face soft ball questions.

None of the standard left-wing media babes ask Clinton any hard questions.

52 J.D.  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:56:43am
LET'S DO A THOUGHT experiment: Perhaps Bill Clinton, an experienced and sophisticated politician, knew what he was doing when he made big news by "losing his temper" in his interview with Chris Wallace. Perhaps Clinton's aides knew what they were doing when they publicized the interview by providing their own transcript to a left-wing website as soon as possible Friday evening, and then pre-spun reporters late Friday and Saturday. Maybe it was just damage control. Or maybe Clinton did what he wanted to do when he indignantly defended himself, blasted the Bush administration, and attacked Fox News. What could Clinton have been seeking to accomplish? Three things.

1. Helping Democrats in 2006.
2. Helping Hillary in 2008.
3. Intimidating Critics.

Clinton wants to make it incorrect, or at least impolite, to criticize his record on terror. Chris Wallace stood up to him. Will others? Will his next interviewer raise the same set of questions? Will they be willing to take the criticism of being "conservative hit men" or part of the vast, Fox-centered right-wing conspiracy? Bullying and intimidation sometimes work. Clinton has used both effectively in the past. Now he wants to put out of bounds certain perfectly legitimate and straight-forward questions. Can we debate which party--based on their practice when in power--can better deal with the jihadist/terror threat? No, according to Clinton. That's illegitimate right-wing propaganda. Whose personal reputation benefits from putting such issues out of bounds? Which political party benefits? Which 2008 presidential candidate?

Bill Clinton is a smart (and calculating) politician.


Why Clinton
"Lost His Temper"
The former president knew what he was doing.

53 6patrick6  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:57:21am

Ol' Slick is still trying to be the center of attention. Let's face it - once you are President of the United States, what's left? You've had the best, and probably the most important, job on Earth. What is left, once all of the trappings of power, the jets, the daily life-and-death struggles are gone, then what? Play golf? Build houses? Hang out with your buddies from your administration?

No, you inject yourself into the daily news! Make sure you make people remember your great legacy (Carter, Clinton). Remind people how wonderful you were, and still are! Oh, and don't forget to bad-mouth the current administration at every opportunity, because, of course if either of these goons were still in office, things would be MUCH better, and people around the world would LOVE us, blah blah blah.

Guess what, Slick? You had eight years. You fucked up! You had your chance to get these bastards LONG before 9/11, but you were so busy honing your legacy, and humping interns, that you lost sight of how important your job as POTUS was. It is all about me, in your eyes. Narcissus could take lessons from you.

And Jimmy, you screwed this country up so bad, I won't reflect on your incompetence; it's a matter of history and the public record. And that's why we, the people, showed you the door after four truly miserable years. You make a fine Sunday school teacher, and you build a nice house. Stick to what you're good at. World politics is NOT what you're good at.

Now, would the two of you please just go home and keep your mouths shut? You need to know your place...you are not the President anymore. Take a cue from your Republican predecessors. Let the adults run the show, thanks!

“We left Bush with Dick Clarke, and what did he do, he demoted him.”
56 lawhawk  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:58:09am

I'm with #33 OR on this one. And I'll take it one step further. The Bush Administration was in the middle of setting up its national security posture towards terrorism, and trying to get away from focusing on individuals like Osama to deal with what they perceived as the larger threat posed by state-sponsored terrorism. And no one really wants to talk about how the delay in determining the outcome of the 2000 election had on the national security posture when there were positions to be filled and the like.

The thing is you have to deal with both.

Also, had the US gone ahead and dropped ordnance on on Osama in the summer of 2001, that would not have necesarily have stopped the 9/11 attacks. That plan was already in motion by that time - and there is some indication that it was an ongoing plot from 1998 forward.

57 Abu Maven  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 9:59:11am

Hmmm.. listening carefully for the alleged slurring... so far I notice:

It's really sad the CIA couldn't give better information than OBL himself did in 1998.

This is why the Democrats can't connect with anyone on the issue of terrorism but other Democrats. The Republicans get it better than the Democrats, but still don't get it.

This is the only paragraph which even comes close to covering what happened on 9/11, which is to say not very close:

Nevertheless, FBI information since that time indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York.


So the government issued multiple terror alerts mentioning airplanes. But the PC environment pushed by the Democrats precluded profiling or connecting domestic and foreign intelligence (Gorelick's-D Wall).

Personally, I find the entire federal government to be clueless when it comes to the global jihad. The only bit of insight which managed to catch up with the Internet was the DoD paper on Mecca --> Medina Islam. Of course we'd been talking about it for years by the time it came out.

60 JoshuaPundit  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 10:00:45am

Ah, you misjudge Mr. Bill.

First of all, nothing this clown does is by accident. This screed was designed to counteract the very real perception by many Americans that the Democratic party is `weak on Islamic terrorism' in the run up to the November midterms.

I wouldn't be surprised if Clinton rehearsed this.

Second, by asking the question, Wallace played into Mr. Bill's hands quite nicely, giving weight to the absurb position that Clinton and many on the left have had all along..that we only have a problem with al Qaeda and with Osama bin-Laden and it's all just a law enforcement problem: J O S H U A P U N D I T: Is Osama dead? Who cares?

Der Schlickmeister's outburst reminds me of the Star Trek episode where Kirk and company and taken captive and kept in an old 17th century manor by someone named Trelane.

After a few tussles Trelane and Kirk have a final showdown and just when Trelane is going to run Kirk through with a sword Trelane's "parents" show up as lights in the sky, tell Trelane to stop acting like a brat, and apologize to Kirk for the behavior of their spoiled son.

When Trelane is told to come home by his parents he goes into a tantrum about how Kirk and company belonged to him and that he was just about to win.

"I was going to win."

"I would've won."

"I would've..."

"I would've..."

"I would've..."

And then Trelane fades away.

Secy-general of the UN. Although I'd not view it as so. I'm sure Clinton does.

My husband also commented that he looked awful. He is not healthy--for whatever reason.

I always wondered about the Clinton's anti-smoking campaign. People who protest so loudly to one vice and seem to take the moral high ground on the issue, are usually covering up for another.

Interviews such as this with public figures are useless. Lib or conservative, it doesn't matter, trying to get the truth out or recount history through a series of probing questions never works. The person being interviewed has either had access to the questions beforehand or they skirt the issue when the unexpected arises as Clinton did here. As always, actions speak louder than words, but all we ever get is words from libs like him.

I heard another take on spinning this morning, an editor(?) from newsweak. He focused on how the neocons (uh oh) we too worried about their plans to wipe clinton's whole presidency (boogah boogah) out of the historical record.

I sort of recall a period of bridge building, heck even some huggy huggy between Bush and Kennedy (no kids left behind?) - but maybe that makes me a wingnut.

But, I did take heart that even Imus noted clinton seeming unhinged, and they suggested that they'd have 'slapped him' for touching their notes...

My take is that all but the real die hard clinton fans think he's got a lot of history to preserve, or the clinton version thereof.

come on now...do YOU want to be judged by every boy/girl you've "not had sexual relations" with?

LORD knows I certainly DON'T either! But he was the President!

AND he wasn't 21. We'll forgive a lot of "youthful" mistakes, when they are made by the young. Not old married with children presidents.

the slurred speech could be a result of a stroke that occured during his surgery. I've not watched the interview yet. but I do know that major cardiac surgical procedures can be risky partly due to stroke risk. That's totally separate from them simply cutting on your heart in the first place.

It wouldn't have to be a big stroke either. just a few tiny ones and boom you get slurred speech.

Billy Boy managed to make everyone happy. Drudge spent almost the full three hours of his radio show gloating over Clinton coming unglued, and the lefties are all convinced that Clinton "spoke truth to power" or whatever.

I always thought that one of Clinton's "strengths" was remaining slick, confident, and unruffled under attack, even while lying his a** off. Seeing him completely lose his composure on camera and babble like angry white trash was quite a treat...

I really wanted to capitalize it, but that might label me, too.

I lost a lot of respect for that magazine about a year ago, when they tried to defend some story they mangled. It came out very defensive, very short on apologies or actions.

Intentional targeting of journalists, maybe? They have been a joke to me since, especially this editor - recall him as the talking head defending themselves earlier.

Clinton and the Iranians

Where is the country that Bill Clinton, a former president of the United States, feels ideologically most at home?

Before you answer, here is the condition that such a country must fulfill: It must hold several consecutive elections that produce 70 percent majorities for "liberals and progressives."

Well, if you thought of one of the Scandinavian countries or, perhaps, New Zealand or Canada, you are wrong.

Believe it or not, the country Bill Clinton so admires is the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Here is what Clinton said at a meeting on the margins of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, just a few weeks ago: "Iran today is, in a sense, the only country where progressive ideas enjoy a vast constituency. It is there that the ideas that I subscribe to are defended by a majority."

And here is what Clinton had to say in a recent television interview with Charlie Rose:

"Iran is the only country in the world that has now had six elections since the first election of President Khatami (in 1997). (It is) the only one with elections, including the United States, including Israel, including you name it, where the liberals, or the progressives, have won two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote in six elections: Two for president; two for the Parliament, the Majlis; two for the mayoralties. In every single election, the guys I identify with got two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote. There is no other country in the world I can say that about, certainly not my own."

So, while millions of Iranians, especially the young, look to the United States as a mode of progress and democracy, a former president of the US looks to the Islamic Republic as his ideological homeland.

But who are "the guys" Clinton identifies with?

There is, of course, President Muhammad Khatami who, speaking at a conference of provincial governors last week, called for the whole world to convert to Islam.

"Human beings understand different affairs within the global framework that they live in," he said. "But when we say that Islam belongs to all times and places, it is implied that the very essence of Islam is such that despite changes (in time and place) it is always valid."

There is also Khatami's brother, Muhammad-Reza, the man who, in 1979, led the "students" who seized the US Embassy in Tehran and held its diplomats hostage for 444 days. There is Massumeh Ebtekar, a poor man's pasionaria who was spokesperson for the hostage-holders in Tehran. There is also the late Ayatollah Sadeq Khalkhali, known to Iranians as "Judge Blood".

Not surprisingly, Clinton's utterances have been seized upon by the state-controlled media in Tehran as a means of countering President George W. Bush's claim that the Islamic Republic is a tyranny that oppresses the Iranians and threatens the stability of the region.

Clinton's declaration of love for the mullas shows how ill informed even a US president could be.

Didn't anyone tell Clinton, when he was in the White House, that elections in the Islamic Republic were as meaningless as those held in the Soviet Union? Did he not know that all candidates had to be approved by the "Supreme Guide", and that no one from opposition is allowed to stand? Did he not know that all parties are banned in the Islamic Republic, and that such terms as "progressive" and "liberal" are used by the mullas as synonyms for "apostate", a charge that carries a death sentence?

More importantly, does he not know that while there is no democracy without elections there can be elections without democracy?

Not a fun day in the Land of Slick.

Producer accuses Clintons of 'looting'

A Hollywood producer who sought to hire President Clinton as a "rainmaker" has told a California court the former president and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, cheated him out of a multimillion-dollar Internet venture and he wants his money back.

In a complaint to be heard today in Superior Court in Los Angeles, Peter F. Paul says the scheme was orchestrated by Mrs. Clinton, who convinced him to spend $1.9 million on campaign fundraisers prior to her November 2000 election to the Senate and then reneged on promises to help him on the Internet deal.

The 43-page complaint, which also accuses Mr. Clinton and others involved in Mrs. Clinton's "New York Senate 2000" campaign of taking part in the conspiracy, seeks $30 million in stock losses and $1.9 million in cash. The complaint is part of a pending lawsuit against Mr. Clinton and will be heard by Superior Court Judge Aurelio N. Munoz.

In a telephone interview from his California home, Paul, a convicted felon, said the Clintons "looted" his business to generate the largest contribution to Mrs. Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign in New York. Describing himself as a "disgruntled business associate" and not a "disgruntled contributor," he said the Clintons reneged on promises they made that Mr. Clinton would work with him after he left the White House.

He said he was "cajoled and then coerced" by Mr. Clinton as "an erstwhile future business partner" to make expenditures to benefit the president and his wife.

Paul produced and underwrote an August 2000 fundraiser called the "Gala Hollywood Farewell Salute to President William Jefferson Clinton," attended by numerous celebrities, including John Travolta, Brad Pitt, Whoopi Goldberg, Patrick Swayze, Michael Bolton, Diana Ross, Patti LaBelle and Melissa Etheridge.

Money raised at the all-star event went to Mrs. Clinton's successful campaign.

The Clintons' attorney, David Kendall, did not return calls for comment.

Oh goody. Character assisinations of the candidate by the left. I hope they make run ads. They seem to forget that this kind of negative campaigning is what caused the Republican candidate for governor to lose last Fall.

The ending of Krauthammer's piece on Slick is what really hits home, for me.

What appalled me then, a feeling that returns as Clinton has gone national revisiting his own presidency, is the smallness of a man who granted equal valence to his own indulgences on the one hand and to the fate of nations on the other. It is the smallness that disturbs. It is that smallness that history will remember.

Demonstrations Turn Violent In Somalia


Fears of regional conflict soared as angry demonstrations against Somalia's radical Islamic militia grew Monday into deadly violence in a southern port city, and the militia for the first time acknowledged getting help from foreign Muslims. (I wonder who?-ed)...

Islamic militiamen wearing white headbands opened fire on several thousand people demonstrating against them in the port of Kismayo, 260 miles southwest of Mogadishu, killing a 13-year-old boy, said resident Abdiqadir Filibin.

Two other children were injured, witnesses said on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. Sporadic gunfire could also be heard in other parts of the town.


I wonder if this is the positive change CAIR was talking about?

I still remember the MTV debate (ambush, there - I fixed it myself) between Slick and GHWBush in the 1992 election

every question Bush got was prefaced something like:

Vice President Bush, given your propensity for kicking dogs and raping babies, how many more times will you beat your wife this week ?

and Slick got,
Governor Clinton - given that you have such a steller record of womems empowerment, will you appoint any women in your administration ?


but also, Slick fails to mention his dear speech writer Susan Estrich now works for Fox, as do Greta Van Sustern, Shep Smith, Geraldo, Colmes, Cole, etc...and zero bona fide conservatives work at CNN, NBC, CBS, PBS, NPR, etc., etc., etc.,

Chris Wallace is on Hannity radio right now discussing how over the top Clinton was. He was out of control. And in the media room, his handler was yelling at Chris's team demanding that they stop the interview. So they knew Clinton lost control.

Then because they didn't stop the interview, Clinton's people got out front of it by leaking it to the liberal blogs so they could spin it.

Unbelievable.

Clinton wagging his finger is a familiar tactic...he gets red in the face and wags his fickled finger of falsehood when he can't answer the question honestly.

He obviously feels guilt over his failures which resulted in 3000 dead Americans. Rightly so.

Everything from that point til now must be reversed such that Islam will once again be ascendant and everyone else will bow before them or face death.

Funny that you'd use the word majority in reference to Clinton.

If that's the case, then how come a majority of Americans couldn't even vote for him in either of the elections that he won - and I'll admit that I voted for the guy to boot. He won a plurality twice. Never did get a majority of the votes. And running the country by poll isn't running the country, it's holding popularity contests.

since when did slick willie ever get a majority of the vote ?

in fact, in 1992 he got the lowest percentage of the vote EVER

in 1996 he still failed to gain a majority

and that's only the voting public
the percentage of votes to the public at large is far less

not even a nice try...

Clinton's biggest fault and failing in life, to me, will always be the fact that he sought calm over confrontation, even when the latter was called for. The fact that he led everyone to believe that because the illusion of calm and peace was the apparent state of affairs, while all the time making deals to allow any simmering troubles to simply be pushed on down the road all the while hoping nothing blows up in your face. In other words a con artist and swindler. Somebody who hopes that by the time you discover his dishonesty he is far away and safely on his way to bilking his next victim. Well in this case it is very hard for a former president to simply fade into the background and doubly hard for this president who so craves the public spotlight and adoration. Yes I despise Clinton because of his lying and I don't mean just about a blue dress.

#159 Love Me Daddy,

Hi Nodrog Charles is busy today, but I'll be your virtual Pa.

Beijing Billy never won a majority of the VOTES of the American people, his "mad poll #s" were because of GOP overreach and his inability to blow his nose without focus gouping.

I can tell you three flat out lies in the interview without trying.

1) The GOP mocked him for being 'obsessed with OBL'.

Lexis/Nexis says that ain't so, no senior GOP official had anything but support for our actions under herr Schlick, even lowly peons myself included.(though I did often comment on peculiar timing..."october surprise" never of course being uttered by donks in the inverse *wink*)

Now admittedly he was aware there was an undercurrent of "wag the dog" and a decided mistrust of his use of ground forces given his heroic assault on Moscow during Vietnam and all...but AT MOST that fear wound up being over a likely dip in his approval ratings such actions would entail...

ie "me, me, me, me, me..."

He keeps acting like Richard Clarke is the be and end all on the issue...if so he may want to read Clarke's book as if anything Clarke is even harsher on Billy's crippling political baggage than am I.

2) OBL and AQ were NOT in Somalia during Blackhawk Down.

Again wrong and he KNEW it is wrong. Our D-boys were aware there was "outside consulting and observation" going on with the local militias. I am not even going to go into it again about how OBL's indictment by the Clinton DoJ had three paragraphs on AQ involvement in Somalia. Fact is OBL had openly and publicly declared war on the US in 1993, 1994, and 1995.

Clinton mentioned terrorism in one sentence in his farewell.

"Obsessed"


3) "I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since. And if I were still president, we'd have more than 20,000 troops there trying to kill him," Clinton said, referring to Afghanistan.


Hey Billiam you blanched over putting in sci-fi guys in the hundreds DESPITE attacks by OBL and AQ during your administration that had a toll in the thousands...

Were you President I am certain the MOST we would have gotten in response was another round of "cruise missile surprise" and more private exhortations about "I am not sure we even have anything to charge him with".

In summary Nodrog he only lies on this when he opens his mouth. He has gotten a largely undeserved pass from the MSM and the American people on the issue. If he is not careful he may remind folks that, yes indeed, 96 is more than 8.

I only wish Clinton showed the same zeal with AQ and the Talis that he showed with Vernon Howell and the Gonzalez family.


Now son, GO TO YOUR ROOM!

Writermom, I shouldn't be so hard on your wonderful city. We have more than one hundred million looney liberals down here who apparently think that self-hate, demonization of all things Western, and thinly veiled but virulent anti-semitism are virtues. There are no geographic lines that conincide with the values that separate or join people together.

Besides, I'm feeling better about Canada since Mr. Harper was elected.

You made me doubt my use of "cockles" so I had to look it up. Sure enough, it exists as an expression, albeit a rather archaic one.

If you listened to the whole interview or read the transcript, you'd see there is absolutely nothing 'nuts' about his response, nor his tone. I would also be sick of being smeared by some of being responsible for 9/11, etc, to better cover their own asses. His response was forceful- exactly as it should have been. And to me his words made perfect sense, but I can undertand how you must categorize anyone you don't like as a crazed mad-man, in order to discredit their words. Its amazing how some still have the gall to criticize clinton for not catching Bin Laden, when 5 years later, after 2 wars, hundreds of billions of dollars, and thousands of men lost, and an absolute motivating event to find him (ie. 911) we still don't have him.

James Taranto has a good take on this today. For example:

...in the interview with Wallace, the ex-president seemed unprepared for the question. Probably he is more used to answering questions like these from Larry King:
Now, the purpose of your initiative overall is to make the world a better place, right? . . .

And the four things it covers is to make the world a better place. . . .

Is it a better place? . . .

How's your health? . . .

The greatest thing you almost did was peace in the Middle East. . . .

Want to just briefly discuss some of the initiatives at this conference. We love coming here every year. Poverty alleviation. Possible?

It's another example of how liberal media don't really help liberals. Years of this sort of sycophantic treatment left Clinton unable to answer the sort of tough question that Republican politicians have to face all the time.

205 lawhawk  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 11:09:14am

#189 affinity:

Perhaps a reason that we're still five year past 9/11 and still searching for the guy is that Clinton failed to take decisive action when they had the opportunity to capture him - via Sudan, or kill him. That latter option was shot down repeatedly by the risk adverse advisors within the WH, which prompted Clarke to wonder about the sanity of it all.

That OBL would still be on the loose now, five years later is not exactly a surprise. A lone guy, operating in inaccessible regions around the world, where airpower is limited in its application, and ground forces would be hard pressed to operate without a dangerously long supply chain. But, even Bush has said that it isn't only about OBL. It's about the ideology that OBL and his minions and fellow travellers have been trading in. The nihlistic death cult that abhors western thought and anyone who dares think differently than they do.

Ten years ago, around the Arkansas part of the country, people called Clinton white trash. This interview is nothing more than the real him, the man under that thin veneer. He seems to be a classic bully. Classic bully crowds and menaces anyone he thinks he can get away with crowding, but stays way way far away from guys who can rearrange his headlights. Chris Wallace got the in your face, "I'm gonna crawl all over you" attack and instead of standing up and rolling up his sleeves, and responding, "You want a piece of me? Huh?", Chris, being a metro-reporter type cowered and shrank back. At least he didn't run around his chair and put it between them, so he gets some points for that, but maybe he was too stunned to even move.
Maybe this is why Clinton stunk at using the military. Bullies usually make all the aggressive noises, but when the fight arrives, they split. They are ultimately cowards. They don't associate with solid men, they hang around people, men and women they can dominate.
Can we call this an "Assault?" The Chris Wallace "Assault" rather than "interview?"

Clinton DID NOT get Bin Laden when Bin Laden was out in the open. That's why he gets critisized.

After 9/11, Bin Laden went into hiding. It's a little harder to get someone that's trying to hide from you.

Yet you give Clinton a pass for not getting Bin Laden, as Clinton says "I failed", yet you chastize Bush for failing even though it was a hundred times harder to find him after he went into hiding.

And after Clinton's anger meltdown, I've found a new respect for president Bush. All the critisism heeped upon Bush on a daily basis, he has never lost his temper like Clinton did! It tells me a lot about both Clinton's and Bush's character...and I like the later's a lot better.

My sister's pastor was spiritual counsel to Clinton during his first term. From what she was able to gather, this was a man with deep feelings of inferiority, self-blame, and shame. He always needed to prove he was the most popular, the most intelligiant man in the room. He needed people to love him. He had almost a sickness about it. I think it may be his fatal flaw.

And why does he like trashy women? It's what he feels he deserves.

Here are some questions I would Mssr Clinton if given the chance.
1) Why did I have to assign soldiers to act as lifeguards at a beach in Somalia while we were supposedly hunting down the warlord Adid?

2) Why did one of the approved tactics in flushing out the "insurgents" involve driving down jungle trails in HMMV's, certainly not the uparmored ones they have nowadays, in the hopes of triggering an ambush so that a quick reaction force could then swoop in and hopefully engage the ambushers?

3) Even though your Sec of Defense was against the idea of sending heavy armored vehicles to the country why didn't you not overrule him?

4) Why were the Rangers involved in the famous "Blackhawk Down" incident left to rely on Indian forces under the UN Blue helmets for support?

I have more but I guess having a little too much personal experience with his foreign policy and military prowess doesn't leave me such an impartial opinion.

I could care less about "blaming" Clinton for not getting binLaden. Anybody that has done even light research on the topic can see he did little and he did it for the sole purpose of saving his stupid, never-to-succeed middle east peace process (which was nothing more than screwing Israel out of land, and even that wasn't enough to the Jew-haters of the middle east).

The bigger point out of this interview was Clinton blaming everybody else while covering his own butt. Let's see, he blamed the FBI, the CIA, the "rightwingers", and "neocons" for his failures. Well, at least he "tried."

It's people like you, who hold this man up to be the the greatest president of all time, your savior, that are most laughable. Ask anybody here about Bush, and you'll get 10 criticisms. Ask anybody like you about Clinton, and we'll get nothing but glowing rememberances of the time our heads were in the sand.

Please, my friend, get off your knees and get your head out of the sand. Clinton sucked balls on terrorism, deal with it. Our enemy wants to kill YOU as much as they want to kill ME and it has nothing to do with who you like (clinton or bush) or who you hate (clinton or bush). It has to do with the fact that I (and, you maybe) are not muslim. Point blank. They want you dead because you don't bow to the alter of a false prophet and his insane lies.

Our enemies are the Islamic fanatics and the states that support them. With all the support the left gives them, the death squad will soon visit us again.

Clinton always is trying to pass the buck. It's also part of the Left's multi-culti view that they have to cooperate with nation states and not be aggressive imperialists and they have an inherent dislike of authority and judgement.

To them military = imperialism, judging other cultures, unless you are protecting minorities from whites.

Clinton is not into repercussions for personal behavior because man's evil is due to outside social factors (that can be influenced by good policy) and not something within him.

You get the point. Trying to make a man out of Chris Wallace. Chuckle and nod, don't worry about your daughter, sounds like she's got more sense than Chris Wallace had about going into a room with a guy like CLinton in the first place.

#226 SUper Ninja
Maybe, but admit it, it would have been sweet to see it all on tape. But, guaranteed, if Chris had jumped up, all hot and fired up when Clinton got in his face, Clinton would have backed off in a nanosecond.

#229 Mama WInger
One thing to remember about many Trashy women - they are usually easy targets because they don't have solid families who will defend them. An aggressive guy is going to avoid the girls whose parents keep an eye on them. Too much trouble, too much risk. They cruise, looking for the girls who are at loose ends. This keeps to the pattern.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there ain't a "kick boxer" on the planet that would last much more than 30 seconds in the ring with any professional fighter in the top world rankings, IMO.

I see what you are saying. It's hard to explain. The pastor would spend some weekdays in Washington, something would be in the news, he would zero in on parallels in his talks within my sister's Bible Study group. Nothing overt, but my sister is really good at putting two and two together. Also, since this was quite the conservative church, the pastor would get a lot of comments against Clinton, understandably. He would respond to those comments with spiritual admonitions. No names or identifiable events were disclosed, I can assure you :)

1996 Pres. Election

Clinton 49%

Gordon, forgive me for being redundant, but neither one of Clinton's victories was by a majority. However:

2004 Pres. Election

I noticed Clinton's repeated reference to "Blackhawk Down" instead of a more official refernce to the events in Somalia. "Blackhawk Down" was a book/movie.

It's like he wants credit for doing everything right, but he did nothing but watch the the movie. And his recollection of the movie is wrong.

OT: This is quote from Osama Bin Ladin's declaration of war on the USA on February 23, 1998:

and peace be upon our Prophet, Muhammad Bin-'Abdallah, who said: I have been sent with the sword between my hands to ensure that no one but God is worshipped, God who put my livelihood under the shadow of my spear and who inflicts humiliation and scorn on those who disobey my orders.

Dick Morris has detailed how the Clinton decision making process goes. Clinton would have Morris do some quick polling, offering different scenerios to the population. He would report back to Clinton and that's how he made many of his decisions.

Bush can pandor too, but nothing like that.

Spent the better part of the afternoon listening to Ingraham and Limbaugh do postmortems on Slick's performance last night. A few thoughts came to mind:

First, I do NOT think his hissy fit was planned in any way. Public, adolescent temper tantrums by spouses of wanna-be world leaders do very little to improve poll numbers. There was far too much sputtering, stammering, and finger-pointing for it to have been anything Hil the Shrew put him up to. For that reason, I wouldn't have been in his shoes after that broadcast, for any amount of money. I'm thinking his beloved spouse was less than forgiving.

Second, he is so used to "cuddle-fests" when dealing with the media, he genuinely didn't know what to say, or how to put the words together, when Chris Wallace asked him an actual question, requiring an actual answer, other than "boxers or briefs?" The slurring, the stuttering - pure, unrelenting anger.

My husband retired from the Marine Corps in 1998. He received his certificate of retirement in the mail - signed by Bill Clinton. He won't display it on the wall. As proud as he is of his military service, the fact that El Sleazo's signature is on his certificate makes it totally out of place on a wall full of memorabilia and awards from 21 years of military service.

His policy and decisions would be the polar opposite of what they are and have been if he relied on poll numbers to implement policy.

He relies on something you might not be familiar with G. It's called conscience and courage in one's convictions.

All Clinton was doing is whipping up the base for the '06 elections. He'd been doing nothing but softball interviews with fawning lackeys like Olberman and Viera. He had to know Wallace would ask some substantive questions. So the goal was to get out all the usual moonbat talking points about "neocons" (Jews) and "right-wing" (conspiracy) knowing actual Jews will still vote for the Democrats by a wide margin. Like black people, it's hard to figure out why Jews still mostly vote for the Democrats.

So Clinton got to hammer the moonbats' favorite target (FNC) all the while making himself look like a martyr.

But even he can't get Hillary elected in '08 if the R's run Giuliani. Hillary's negatives never drop very far below 50%. Not that I trust polling, but looking at trends over many polls is somewhat indicative of something, sometimes.

He thinks Clinton is sending a message to other reporters, Don’t Go There.


Expanding on this, yes, certainly, to a point. He doesn't want to be challenged, on anything and he's capable of "mauling" someone to keep the other weenies in line. Just don't believe that it's all preplanned. This was genuine. I know guys just like that. Pure bully. Been on the receving end of exactly that kind of attack, so in fact, I know exactly how Chris felt - what do you do when someone supposedly respectable peels open in front of you and treats you like you were a POS, a nothing in the cosmic order. And you see in his eyes, that he isn't being figurative. Clinton chewed Wallace out, then sat back, sure he had command of the situation, so confident of his righteousness, his position, his skills at setting that upstart whelp in his place.. But, the unseen audience ... Clinton is sure he can push around the Left and the MSM, but there's a big world out there ... can you imagine if a different kind of reporter had showed to interview, someone like Blackfive? Heh. Actually, in that case, Clinton would have pulled the quivering lip and been very self-effacing.

My point was simply that Clinton's story telling over simplifies everything. Then is places all blame on others (CIA, FBI, military, Republicans, conservatives, Fox News, Chris Wallace's evil plan to set him up and his smirk). Although from all accounts I have reviewed he is very intelligent, and very articulate. This raging performance was a very poor performance, and geared completely to protect himself. Even his "I tried but failed" lines were insincere. But then again, may be believes his own BS.

During the interview, Clinton stated several time that he wanted to "kill" OBL. What he didn't say was that he wanted to destroy Al Qaeda as a functioning entity. That's a big difference.

Killing OBL would be an act of justice but it wouldn't stop Al Qaeda.

Clinton, ever the actor, was able to turn the interview around. He admitted that he tried to kill OBL, but failed; but this isn't nearly as big a failure as doing nothing about Al Qaeda...and that's what Clinton avoided talking about.

In 1993 Al Qaeda was an unimportant entity, by 2001, it was a terrorist superpower. And Clinton did nothing to stop its growth during his eight year Presidency.

My sister's pastor was spiritual counsel to Clinton during his first term. From what she was able to gather, this was a man with deep feelings of inferiority, self-blame, and shame. He always needed to prove he was the most popular, the most intelligiant man in the room. He needed people to love him. He had almost a sickness about it. I think it may be his fatal flaw.

And why does he like trashy women? It's what he feels he deserves.

Harry Smith Taken Aback as CBS Analyst Blames Clinton for bin Laden Failures

Despite Bill Clinton's angry protestations, the bulk of the blame for America's failure to catch or kill Osama bin Laden lies squarely on the Clinton administration, at least according to terrorism analyst Michael Scheuer.

Scheuer's words, delivered on today's edition of CBS's "Early Show," must have come as a shock for co-host Harry Smith since the liberal media's usual refrain on bin Laden is to blame Bush for the failure to kill him back in the early days of the Afghanistan campaign.

That just isn't the case, Scheuer argued, implicitly criticizing the press.

The former president seems to be able to deny facts with impugnity. Bin Laden is alive today because Mr. Clinton, Mr. Sandy Berger, and Mr. Richard Clarke refused to kill him

BILL CLINTON:


A legend in his own mind...

Yes he is the penultimate politician, but let us not overate his "ability to scheme" in this interview...

I thought that no matter what Wallace was going to ask--if it was at all aimed in any way towards questioning his responsibility for failing to act against Bin Laden--the former Pres was going to go ballistic. So I do think that it was part of his scheme...

But I don't think that what we saw was anything being acted out...it was his own venom being tossed out there to pay back for the "Path to 9/11" etc.

And once again he diminished the office of the Presidency. He is beginning to make Warren Harding look better and better.

At every news conference, Bush is ATTACKED by the media, over and over. They never take his answers, they keep badgering. Sometimes he gets a bit testy, but for the most part, he remembers who he is, what he represents, and doesn't react in kind. The press treats him with no respect...a real shame. Shouldn't matter that you disagree with him. There are a number of people who voted him into the position so he should be respected simply for that.

Clinton had so much potential and wasted every bit of it on selfish things. That is why he will never be remembered as a great man...he was too self centered to take care of the rest of us, except as an afterthought.

There was also a major failure in our intelligence communities. We just played kick the can on the road to 9/11.

Gruen - I think the difference here is taking ownership of failures that were made. Everyone should have, in hindsight, been way aggressive on terrorism. Mature adults try to learn from past failures so as not to repeat them. Immature adults tend to minimixe failures or shift responsibility for those failures onto others. It is much harder to learn the lessons from those who take the latter path.

Much as I'd like to agree with you I cannot.

The WTC attack in 1993 was known to be an AQ op, then we had the hit on Khobar Towers and when the answers started being a little too close to home for Saudi Bill said "defer".

TaskForce Ranger gets popped with known foreign assets aiding Aidid and Billy tucks and runs.(he WAS CinC and he HAD access to the analysis of the D-boys on the gorund that there were "pros".

Then you have the thwarted hijackings of 1995 followed by OBL acknowledging "yeah it was us we hate you" and still ignored.

Add in the embassy bombings, "an attack on US soil" wounding THOUSANDS and the strike on the USS Cole and Billy Jeff had his nose rubbed in terrorism more and harder than the previous two occupants and even arguably Jimmuh.

Fact is at the end of the day, it IS true NONE of us was taking it as SERIOUSLY as we should have BUT it is and was HIS job AND the fact of the matter is it was HIS job to know.

We briefed him in on who OBL was as early as 1994.

And if you really want to pin blame, it goes beyond administrations, and goes to acts of congress, it goes to judicial rulings, and it goes to a lot of bureaucratic decisions that were made in defiance of orders from the respective administrations. There's so much blame to go around, I don't know that anyone inside the beltway walks away clean.

And it falls on us, too for not having the imagination to see what was coming, and demand that our politicians stop the legal and partisan and bureaucratic crapola, and demand that they deal with the threat.

I would also be sick of being smeared by some of being responsible for 9/11, etc, to better cover their own asses.

Everybody knows that Fat Willy was an absolute cluster-fuck when it came to security issues; you don't need to find right-wing sources for that truism. And it's not like he's never lied on national tv before. But you, being a whore of the caliphate, find that a desirable trait I'm sure.

Its amazing how some still have the gall to criticize clinton for not catching Bin Laden, when 5 years later, after 2 wars, hundreds of billions of dollars, and thousands of men lost, and an absolute motivating event to find him (ie. 911) we still don't have him.

Clinton did know a lot about OBL, Al Qaeda and the threat presented to the United States, but essentially he did nothing. This is the way Clinton operated for eight years, he would not do anything (regardless of the problem) if he could possibly avoid it. He should have dealt with the threat of terrorism but he didn't.

Unfortunately bush did not improve on Clinton's dismal record on inactivity. Clinton did nothing of consequence for eight year, Bush did nothing of consequence for eight months. If 9/11 had not occured, would Bush have taken serious action against Al Qaeda? I don't know.

Is that possible? I mean I'm always game for it but I would have a hard time taking anyone who supports Clinton's actions regarding OBL or who compares what GWB is up against in finding OBL after 911 to what Clinton was facing in finding OBL after 911 too seriously.

Now frankly I'm a little disappointed with both of them but I'm WAY more disappointed with Clinton. As for messing with interns with cigars, well in my opinion he deserves nothing but contempt. The man is a sexual predator of the worst sort.

# 387 mam winger,

EXACTLY.

Clinton and the haze we operated under wound up being a joke with a 3000 person punchline.

I feel shame that I used to enjoy "cruise missile surprise" because it gave me fodder to mock Billiam with on flamewars for its ineffectualness.

Clinton cannot stand that his legacy is the blue dress and in the wake of his gymnastics 9/11 is his shame rather than the point where he can say, "see here is where I reached out to the center and helped guide my party into a bi-partisan and war winning foreign policy"...

it is ALL ABOUT him to him.

Hmmm...

Bill Clinton aside, I think this shows the nature of liberal governance. It is all about caring, it is all about good intentions, it is all about process vs product.

This is one of the reasons I got out of the public schools after obtaining a graduate degree, and went to work in a vet clinic instead. I could not stand the concept that there is no failure, there are no winners and losers. YES there ARE! And if you don't educate our children in fact-based reality we are going to continue to get this kind of BS!

"I tried, I really tried" says Bill. OK - that's nice but we are not grading on feelings here. People are dead. That's a fact. Caring about it doesn't do one damn thing.


The reason he was so defensive is because he can't understand why people would hold him accountable when he obviously had such good intentions.


Liberals are about perceptions and emotions, not facts on the ground.

I think Clinton is pissed off because he just doesn't get it. Being President is not all about doing what the people want you to do. It also about doing what has to be done.

He feels like he won a popularity contest and now we are telling him he actually lost.

I also hear the word "Compassion" from my left-leaning friends. Where I see "professionalism" in Bush, they see a "lack of compassion." Where I see a lack of "professionalism" in Clinton, they see "compassion."

Since you are the resident appologist for the lefties on this blog, I figured I would go to the source and ask you.

But of course, 'caliphate's whore', 'craven dhimmi, and 'bow to your islamic master's', all in the post I responded to, were very benign comments, right? They certainly didn't deserve the retprt of 'silly'.

My question is, how can you be such a craven hypocrite as to bold those terms as such in light of what I responded to? That's what I want to know. What about when I've been called a goat-fucker in the past? Did you find that term condascending? What about Osama's slut? What about a spineless traitor? A collaborator? Shitbird? Shitless piece of excrement? Camel-fucker? No? Not condascending? Filthy muslim trash? Shit-faced maggot? No, I didn't think that you would.

Re: Clinton slurring his speech--I noticed it but didn't think he had been tippling. I thought that it was from being basically tired and sick. Quadruple-bypass, after all, is not something one does lightly, and I don't think you're ever really the same after having your heart rearranged.

At any rate, he's getting on in years, which is what makes this more pathetic. Usually we get weighed and muted comments from former Presidents, old men who have the wisdom of experience and age to temper their mouths.

Clinton and Carter are a pair of turds in the National punchbowl. The slurred speech--I can't say. The content was enough to convince me that he is not competent.

447 Affinity  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 2:25:49pm

Answer my question first, mamawinger. Do you find those terms condascending, terms which I've been called? And I'd think your bolding of those benign terms I used is the very definition of kicking dust. The fact that you would put effort to emphasize basically nothing, when you know full well the bile that is thrown against me.
I've been repeatedly called a liar, without a single statement anywhere pointing out one of my 'lies'.

As for the 'questions'- putting words into my mouth, and deriding me, are not what I consider 'questions'. Don't lie to yourself. I don't believe theres a single time I answered a question, where the responses to my post were based on the actual content therein, and not continual slandering, examples of which Im sure you're familiar with.

I saw an article somewhere today addressing the issue of Clinton saying he was trying to kill OBL.

It wasn't until President Bush signed something or other that the targeted killing of OBL would have been legal.

On the contrary, "Letters of Marque" are an integral part of our Nation's foreign diplomacy history. As far as I know, it's never been made illegal.*

* Technically, the 1856 Treaty of Paris made Letters of Marque illegal, but our nation did not ratify that declaration.

Bless your heart. I remember once when I tried to reason with a troll. It just doesn't work. They move the goalposts when you get close. They push your buttons to cause an explosion and then react with horror when you explode. They change the context of known facts enough to alter their meaning and then challenge you to search back thousands of posts to discover how it was changed. And all the while they sit back and smirk (not a Chris Wallace type) knowing that you feel remorse for having responded. They aren't worth the effort. Let it go.

Affinity,

Your behavior on a different thread in trying to piggy-back onto another poster's comments and your behavior here on this thread show that you are intellectually dishonest.

You don't like the people here or this site. You've made that plain. And you take issue with how folks magnify it and toss it back at you?

Please.

Your attitude of superiority shows badly like it does for most of the unhinged left. Your demonstrated narcissism demands that we, the great unwashed, simply recognize the vastness of your intellect and the unimpeachability of your ideas. Especially telling when you haven't shown anything of the sort.

This is like passing gas in the choir and then making sure everyone knows how it smells of lavender.

I was just getting out of the military when Clinton assumed office.

I was young, and not political at all, at the time. R versus D, they were all the same to me.

Somalia.

What stood out in my mind, was the images of our dead soldiers being drug through the streets.

We did nothing.

We ran.

UBL has made reference to this. He cited us as being a paper tiger from this incident. Not a republican, its in his own words.

The same as Carter in 1979. We did not deal with the threat as we should have.

As well, compare Nixon's legacy. What will he be remembered for?

Clinton knows beyond the shadow of a doubt, that no matter how much you triangulate, he embodies all of these characters, and more.

He knows, history will remember him getting serviced by Lewinsky while engaged in conversation with an elected representative, while discussion terrorism.

He was abscent. He knows it. He can't change it.

484 fredlike  Mon, Sep 25, 2006 3:29:48pm

I think It would be legal for Clinton to violate a previous executive order if he signed a order saying he could, and he could keep it secret.

If Chris was really sandbagging Clinton he would have asked about Juanita Broderick and why he raped her.

I only saw part of the interview but expected Clinton to blurt out "Vast right wing conspiracy" at any moment.

Just thought about this. There is one terror attack that has been forgotten. The French airline UTA flight out of Chad was blown up over the desert about an hour into the flight. Among the victims was the wife of the US Ambassador to Chad at the time. It was 1989?

There have been a lot of comments about people not being interested in the rise of terrorism, but there were plenty of Americans working overseas who were reporting back that it was getting ugly. Had the media run with with a 10th of the enthusiasm as say, the Benet murder, which is tragic, but has zero national impact, people would have been more attuned to the danger.

This shows your absolute lack of understanding the most obvious things around you. All these efforts are not to find ONE MAN. This administration (unlike Clinton's) understand that there is a whole network we are after, not just one man. You would have us spend all that blood and treasure to find ONE MAN? As if finding him would stop the movement? That's pretty obtuse...even for a Lefty.

OBL is merely the symbol for the movement..and because of all our efforts, he's hiding in a cave. Clinton had him in his sites and didn't take him out, multiple times. You cannot be so obtuse that you can't see the difference.

As near as I can tell from your helpful links, unless Clinton signed something in secret, his planned asssassination of OBL was illegal at the time.
And he just told the whole world that he tried to kill him.

I forgot the quote from your link

It turns out that under that bland title, H.R. 19 is pretty exciting stuff. The various executive orders that the bill would nullify have to with political assassination, the killing of foreign public figures because of their irksome positions on policies. H.R. 19 would cancel executive orders by three Presidents (Ford, Carter and Clinton) that forbid U.S. military and intelligence agencies from engaging in such assassinations. For example, Barr's bill would cancel President Gerald Ford's order that "no employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination." (executive order 11905)

There was definitely something up before 9/11. OBL got lucky and hit first.

And he just told the whole world that he tried to kill him.

The problem with that statement is that he was lying. Its not like OBL was hiding in a cave in a remote mountain range, he was hiding in plain sight most of the time. Clinton would rather say he tried and failed rather than he was just too damn afraid of the political fallout from home and abroad to act. He spent his entire career with his finger in the political wind (when he didn't have it somewhere else).

Clinton telling a blatent lie in public is certainly not unprecedented, I'm sure you neen no example.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier, but I was leaving work when I first posted. Yes, I did omit 2000 since it was a statistical dead heat. Neither candidate received a majority. Your contention was that the majority of Americans favored Clinton. I was merely pointing out the election results, since they don't square with your argument. The fact remains that no Democrat since 1976 has received a majority of votes in a Presidential election (Carter received 50.1%). On the other hand, Reagan did it twice (1980 - 50.8%, 1984 - 58.8%), Bush I once (1988 - 53.4%), and Bush II once (2004 - 51%). Sorry Gordo, but the facts don't support your argument.

Kinda like what I was saying with my #240. We have a common enemy, and it's Islamic fanatics.

In regards to this thread; however, we were addressing Clinton and his pre-9/11 inactions. My point in #240 also addressed this issue in regards to libs and the oh great one Clinton. Many libs refuse to see past their hatred of Bush to even be critical of Clinton. It's the prism of Bush-hatred.

A few examples:

Saddam captured = How does this help Bush? Oh no!

UBL dead? = Oh crap, another Rovian plot to push Bush's poll numbers!

2500 soldiers dead = Ah ha! Let's lay it on Bush now for this "illegal" war!

EVERYTHING to the loony libs is seen through the prism of "We hate Bush, how does this relate?"

It will kill us all.

I also agree with your view on the US needing a real leader. Bush was that man, especially immediately after 9/11, but I think it has trailed off a bit. Point is, nobody but a few politicians or blogs even have the balls to say who are enemy really is.

It will kill us all.

FOX Hit the nail on the head. Ask the questions people want to have answers to and get the interesting answers.

Compare what he was dooign with his finger in his famous "in didn't have sex" speech and the interview. He lied in the first one, I am 99.999999999 percent sure he lied Sun.

No, Gordon, I never imagined you to be either Democrat or Republican, but rather, a malignant narcissist.

It is a lonely calling, isn't it?

Rumor had it that Spock was a commie. I don't know if he was or not, but he did plenty of damage to our society.

On Drudge's top headline right now, he has a link to an article where Condi says Clinton lied, and did NOT leave a comprehensive plan on counter-terrorism. She also reminded Clinton that Richard Clarke was in charge of counter-terrorism when 9/11 occurred.

Last night, I don't know if it was Fox or MSNBC, as I was going back and forth between both, but I heard that on the way out of the interview, Clinton told an aid or assistant that if he was ever put into that situation again, he/she would be fired.

The real Clinton emerges

From behind the benign facade and the tranquilizing smile, the real Bill Clinton emerged Sunday during Chris Wallace’s interview on Fox News Channel. There he was on live television, the man those who have worked for him have come to know – the angry, sarcastic, snarling, self-righteous, bombastic bully, roused to a fever pitch. The truer the accusation, the greater the feigned indignation. Clinton jabbed his finger in Wallace’s face, poking his knee, and invading the commentator’s space.

But beyond noting the ex-president’s non-presidential style, it is important to answer his distortions and misrepresentations. His self-justifications constitute a mangling of the truth which only someone who once quibbled about what the “definition of ‘is’ is” could perform.

Clinton told Wallace, “There is not a living soul in the world who thought that Osama bin Laden had anything to do with Black Hawk Down.” Nobody said there was. The point of citing Somalia in the run up to 9-11 is that bin Laden told Fortune Magazine in a 1999 interview that the precipitous American pullout after Black Hawk Down convinced him that Americans would not stand up to armed resistance.

Clinton said conservatives “were all trying to get me to withdraw from Somalia in 1993 the next day” after the attack which killed American soldiers. But the real question was whether Clinton would honor the military’s request to be allowed to stay and avenge the attack, a request he denied. The debate was not between immediate withdrawal and a six-month delay. (Then-first lady, now-Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) favored the first option, by the way). The fight was over whether to attack or pull out eventually without any major offensive operations.

The president told Wallace, “I authorized the CIA to get groups together to try to kill bin Laden.” But actually, the 9-11 Commission was clear that the plan to kidnap Osama was derailed by Sandy Berger and George Tenet because Clinton had not yet made a finding authorizing his assassination. They were fearful that Osama would die in the kidnapping and the U.S. would be blamed for using assassination as an instrument of policy.

Clinton claims “the CIA and the FBI refused to certify that bin Laden was responsible [for the Cole bombing] while I was there.” But he could replace or direct his employees as he felt. His helplessness was, as usual, self-imposed. ...

568 J.D.  Tue, Sep 26, 2006 8:29:43am
...Why didn’t the CIA and FBI realize the extent of bin Laden’s involvement in terrorism? Because Clinton never took the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center sufficiently seriously. He never visited the site and his only public comment was to caution against “over-reaction.” In his pre-9/11 memoirs, George Stephanopoulos confirms that he and others on the staff saw it as a “failed bombing” and noted that it was far from topic A at the White House. Rather than the full-court press that the first terror attack on American soil deserved, Clinton let the investigation be handled by the FBI on location in New York without making it the national emergency it actually was.

In my frequent phone and personal conversations with both Clintons in 1993, there was never a mention, not one, of the World Trade Center attack. It was never a subject of presidential focus.

Failure to grasp the import of the 1993 attack led to a delay in fingering bin Laden and understanding his danger. This, in turn, led to our failure to seize him when Sudan evicted him and also to our failure to carry through with the plot to kidnap him. And, it was responsible for the failure to “certify” him as the culprit until very late in the Clinton administration.

The former president says, “I worked hard to try to kill him.” If so, why did he notify Pakistan of our cruise-missile strike in time for them to warn Osama and allow him to escape? Why did he refuse to allow us to fire cruise missiles to kill bin Laden when we had the best chance, by far, in 1999? The answer to the first question — incompetence; to the second — he was paralyzed by fear of civilian casualties and by accusations that he was wagging the dog. The 9/11 Commission report also attributes the 1999 failure to the fear that we would be labeled trigger-happy having just bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade by mistake.

President Clinton assumes that criticism of his failure to kill bin Laden is a “nice little conservative hit job on me.” But he has it backwards. It is not because people are right-wingers that they criticize him over the failure to prevent 9/11. It was his failure to catch bin Laden that drove them to the right wing.

The ex-president is fully justified in laying eight months of the blame for the failure to kill or catch bin Laden at the doorstep of George W. Bush. But he should candidly acknowledge that eight years of blame fall on him.

One also has to wonder when the volcanic rage beneath the surface of this would-be statesman will cool. When will the chip on his shoulder finally disappear? When will he feel sufficiently secure in his own legacy and his own skin not to boil over repeatedly in private and occasionally even in public?


The Real Clinton Emerges

Khobar Towers
The Clinton administration left many stones unturned.
BY LOUIS J. FREEH

...Ten years ago today, acting under direct orders from senior Iranian government leaders, the Saudi Hezbollah detonated a 25,000-pound TNT bomb that killed 19 U.S. airmen in their dormitory at Khobar Towers in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The blast wave destroyed Building 131 and grievously wounded hundreds of additional Air Force personnel. It also killed an unknown number of Saudi civilians in a nearby park.

The 19 Americans murdered were members of the 4,404th Wing, who were risking their lives to enforce the no-fly zone over southern Iraq. This was a U.N.-mandated mission after the 1991 Gulf War to stop Saddam Hussein from killing his Shiite people. The Khobar victims, along with the courageous families and friends who mourn them this weekend in Washington, deserve our respect and honor. More importantly, they must be remembered, because American justice has still been denied. ...

...Finally, frustrated in my attempts to execute Mr. Clinton's "leave no stone unturned" order, I called former president George H.W. Bush. I had learned that he was about to meet Crown Prince Abdullah on another matter. After fully briefing Mr. Bush on the impasse and faxing him the talking points that I had now been working on for over two years, he personally asked the crown prince to allow FBI agents to interview the detained bombers.

After his Saturday meeting with now-King Abdullah, Mr. Bush called me to say that he made the request, and that the Saudis would be calling me. A few hours later, Prince Bandar, then the Saudi ambassador to Washington, asked me to come out to McLean, Va., on Monday to see Crown Prince Abdullah. When I met him with Wyche Fowler, our Saudi ambassador, and FBI counterterrorism chief Dale Watson, the crown prince was holding my talking points. He told me Mr. Bush had made the request for the FBI, which he granted, and told Prince Bandar to instruct Nayef to arrange for FBI agents to interview the prisoners.

Several weeks later, agents interviewed the co-conspirators. For the first time since the 1996 attack, we obtained direct evidence of Iran's complicity. What Mr. Clinton failed to do for three years was accomplished in minutes by his predecessor. This was the breakthrough we had been waiting for, and the attorney general and I immediately went to Mr. Berger with news of the Saudi prison interviews.

Upon being advised that our investigation now had proof that Iran blew up Khobar Towers, Mr. Berger's astounding response was: "Who knows about this?" His next, and wrong, comment was: "That's just hearsay." When I explained that under the Rules of Federal Evidence the detainees' comments were indeed more than "hearsay," for the first time ever he became interested--and alarmed--about the case. But this interest translated into nothing more than Washington "damage control" meetings held out of the fear that Congress, and ordinary Americans, would find out that Iran murdered our soldiers. After those meetings, neither the president, nor anyone else in the administration, was heard from again about Khobar. ...

In Freeh's "My FBI" he says Clinton hit the Saudis up for library money when they were asking if the US wanted to pursue the Khobar Tower evidence pointing toward Tehran. Clinton indicated he would rather go with blaming the disenfranchized Saudi Hezbollah and be done with it. "And about my library..."

BILL CLINTON, FMR. PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I worked hard to try to kill him. I authorized the finding for the CIA to kill him. We contracted with people to kill him. I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since.

Is it legal for the President to contract with killers? Its OK with me, but if Bush said that the Dems wouldn't need a laxative for 20 years.
