Think CNN's real concern is just knee-jerk Clinton protection mode?

Suicide pig bombers.

A truly brilliant idea, a delicious mixture of irony, cost-effectiveness, and truly terrorizing to the Muslim zealots. As an added bonus, PETA won't like it either.

Ensor explained that the decision to release the tape may have been a politically motivated attempt to smear the legacy of ex-President Clinton.

Allow me to explain to Ensor that the many many outrageous comments from democrats outright practically blaming President Bush for 9/11 (after moving heaven and earth trying to block him from making appointments and denying him the usual immediate transition facilities and so on) and now saying he lied about WMDs in Iraq when they received similar if not the same security briefings, are in fact politically motivated attempts to smear a good and decent man, George W. Bush. Go get your undies in a twist about that, David.

This is the kind of crap the democrats would pull just so they would have something to blame on the Republicans.

Also following the get it out early, get your own spin on it line of defense.

You are correct but don't expect dimwitted partisans in the media to get it. They'd have to realize they are mere useful idiots to the Clintons and their ilk.

I'm with the line of reasoning that says this came from the 9/11 commission which is replete with Clinton sympathisers.

Have you listened to Tenet lately? I've become convinced he's a good guy.

HELP me understand this....was seeing Bin Laden in this video a "live event" and could something have been done at that time? How long was BinLaden at this camp? Did anyone hear Andrea Mitchell this morning while viewing this video on Imus say, "Bush saw the tape too and he didn't do anything about it either. There is plenty of blame to go around." Either I was hearing the wrong thing or Andrea was hysterically trying to defend Clinton, but how could Bush have attacked BinLaden on a video.

Oh, but let us not blame dear Billy Boy. Any pre-9/11 action taken against OBL would have been preventive, and we can't have that. After all, at that time he had committed no crimes against America.

But what about the bombings in Riyadh and the American embassies and the USS Cole? Didn't take place on our soil, at least not on continental American soil. We can't take the guy out for that.

The WTC bombing in '93? Never mind. Billy Boy talked tough to terrorists, and that's what really counts. Who could blame him for thinking OBL would just have a change of heart and leave us alone when he saw what nice guys we were?

[pepsionice]

The real question here....is what else is locked up in the CIA vault? I"m sure that Clinton has other problems which hasn't surfaced.
