WASHINGTON (CNN) -- From the Oval Office, President Clinton told the nation Wednesday evening why he ordered new military strikes against Iraq.

The president said Iraq's refusal to cooperate with U.N. weapons inspectors presented a threat to the entire world.

Amazing: no mention by the "journalist" in this story of PERHAPS Clinton's political motives in the bombing...he was facing impeachment, remember?The correlation certainly crossed my mind as I stood watch on the bridge of the my ship anchored in Kuwait Harbor, watching the strike packages go north and listening to the impeachment proceedings on the BBC.

[the invisib1e hand]

the statements made these days just prove again the point that the democratic left is irrational with hatred for true conservatism.

Thanks for the flashback. My how things have changed!

[Grampa Dave]

This would be a great sign for freeping the rats:

[Grampa Dave]

Wow, this just shows what a good CIC can do when bombing is over.

Just a little Wag the Dog bombing totally wiped out all of the $oddomite's WMDS. Shows how Don't Ask and Don't Tell, made our military PC and so effective!

Massive Sarcasm Off!

He he he......proof the world is round. Came back around to bite Bubbafucco and the rest of the Clintonistas in the Ass !

Stay safe Dave !

[Grampa Dave]

Yep, it took 5 years to circle and bite Bubba on his emmense butt, but it did it?

Thanks for the ping, Sultan!

Who knows, maybe Bubba's air strikes hit the target and that's why we can't find the stuff now. Stranger things have happened (but not much stranger).

Ah, yes, Rodham And Gomorrah had "Operation Delay Impeachment" at full throttle back then.

"Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors," said Clinton.

Well, there it is. The reason we can't find the WMD. clintoon destroyed them. < /sarcasm >

"A presidential executive order issued during the Clinton
administration hamstrung the FBI so badly that bureau
lawyers decided it would be illegal to infiltrate Osama bin
Laden's terrorist training camps in Afghanistan, a senior
FBI official during the Clinton administration said Saturday."

"I don't believe 9-11 happened because of an intelligence breach," Quayle told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."

"I think it was really a policy breach. It was the inaction of the previous administration, by and large, that al Qaeda -- and bin Laden in particular -- thought that they could hit the United States, and there would be a retaliation maybe of a cruise missile but nothing more than that," he explained.

The comments make the former vice president, who served under President Bush's father from 1989 to 1993, the highest ranking former U.S. official to suggest that the Clinton administration should get the lion's share of the blame for not preventing the 9-11 attacks.
