Build their gallows high

The independent commission investigating the 9/11 attacks has examined a secret videotape of ex-President Clinton discussing an offer from Sudan to have Osama bin Laden arrested five years before the 9/11 attacks, former Navy Secretary and 9/11 Commissioner John Lehman revealed on Tuesday.
Asked if the never-before-seen video confirms that Clinton admitted turning the offer down, Lehman told radio host Sean Hannity, "Well, that is what he said."
While the video of Clinton's bombshell remarks, delivered to the Long Island Association in February 2002, had never been released prior to a request from the 9/11 Commission, NewsMax.com's exclusive audiotape shows the ex-president explaining:
"We'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted to start dealing with us again. They released him. At the time, 1996, had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him."
Secretary Lehman said that when Clinton was interrogated about the comment during his April 8 testimony, his account was somewhat at odds with the version on the tape, saying, "It's not quite the way he described it."
Lehman explained that the former president attempted to give "a broader understanding of what he was talking about" in the February 2002 speech. Asked for specifics, Lehman told Hannity, "I can't go into it, but we will have the full story" in the final report due out in July.
At the time of Clinton's questioning, apparently he, along with at least some of the 9/11 Commissioners, were unaware that his 2002 comments had been recorded. According to 9/11 Commissioner, former Sen. Bob Kerry, Clinton called a transcript of his remarks "a misquote."
In April, LIA spokesman Gary Wojtas told NewsMax that he had turned the secret Clinton video over to the 9/11 Commission at their request the month before. In 2002, the LIA turned down requests for copies of the video from NBC News, the Fox News Channel and NewsMax.
Asked in April whether he would now make the tape public, Wojtas told NewsMax: "That's something we're waiting on right now - that's all I'll say on that. It's not that we won't do it. It's just something we need to wait on right now."
Wojtas did not return NewsMax's call last week seeking release of the videotape.
In other words: We are still holding out hope that the Clintonista's will offer us a large bribe to throw the tape away.
Democratic Senator Bob Kerrey ...."Clinton's an unusually good liar. Unusually good. Do you realize that?"
Build their gallows high
"Mitch McConnell is the Republican whip of the Senate and he's accusing us of being too partisan? He can go to hell for all I'm concerned." — 9/11 Commission member Bob Kerrey to the New York Times, after McConnell complained the panel was growing partisan
If Kerrey really believed that, then he's dumb as a bag of rocks. Clinton wasn't a "good liar" at all. In fact, he was a terrible liar -- because anyone with an IQ over 70 knew he was full of sh!t even if they didn't want to admit it.
Could you or some other Freeper post this at Democrat Underground?? How about posting this also on all those other sights where they hate Bush and love Clinton??
Kerrey's way of lamenting his own limitations?
Good idea. I don't monitor and post there but I know others here are signed up to do it.
There are lies, damned lies and broader understandings. But to clarify things Clinton later says that his lies are "misquoted."
He was taped! LMAO! Good. My brother has a lying sack of shit for an X-Wife and he learned long ago to tape all conversations and make her put everything in writing. Too bad the American public still believe anything from that lying sack of shit we used to have for a President!
They're not going to be exposed, unless old media provides the story to the public. Omission is one of the tools they use to make conservatives look bad and liberals look angelic. Old media will NEVER give us the truth on the idiocy and incompetence of either the Carter or Clinton presidencies.
Secretary Lehman said that when Clinton was interrogated about the comment during his April 8 testimony, his account was somewhat at odds with the version on the tape, saying, "It's not quite the way he described it."
Doesn't it all really mean what you think the word "is" means?
How sick is America of these two slimeballs????
I am soooo tired of the name bill hillary clinton I could puke....
Can we PLEASE hang them on the nearest tree and go on with life and erase their names from history, past, present and furture?????
And we now know there is video so that he can't say the audio was taken out of context. This should be real good.
Don't actually address the issue. Instead, become indignent to deflect back to the questioner.
Great job finding the audio link! Here's a link to the 9/11 Commission report to search for transcript keywords.
http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/911Report.pdf
It looks like the video transcript is not included. Only Clinton's denial at the top of page 480 (or 497 by the pdf numbering)
That's the thing. You have to really stretch the bounds of common sense to believe Clinton over a videotape, which shows where their bias was.
They were afraid to provide a transcript of his words to allow the American people to decide which is true. They decided for us and told us what we should believe.
The GOP in Congress needs to call a public hearing..bring in the 9/11 commission staff AND Gorelick, UNDRER OATH, and find out what's going on..
Thanks for confirming that for me. I've always thought Clinton looked, sounded, and acted dishonest. Thought that was just me. Yes, I know everyone realizes he is dishonest, but I've never heard anyone say before that he was a terrible liar.
Currently the 9/11 Commission is investigating itself and sending staffers to the scene of Sandy Berger's crime to find the real truth about Able Danger. No word on if O.J. is with them looking for the real killer.
No-one with any integrity sat on that commission.
I am so with you on letting these two die in obscurity.
These SOB's had this tape and never looked at it ..??
EeeeGads!
A reaction proving McConnell's point.
Absolutely agree with your assessment of Clinton. AAMOF, the word "good" is difficult to associate with Clinton in many ways...including as a liar.
BTW, love your tagline! I can relate. We are comfortable, but working our butts off to be, and stay that way. Ha.
That tagline is from one of the greatest country music songs of all time -- George Strait's "Amarillo By Morning."
Shame on this country girl, and George Strait fan for not catching that!! Sang along with that song and others many times. lol.
Congress did that over Whitewater and everything that falls under..Whitewater. Under oath, and the clinton mafia lied anyway and nobody did anything about it. I'll never forget the late night hours I spent glued to TV watching those hearing, hoping this time they got em. Never happened. Congress! Useless bunch.
Too bad the Dems are plastering the news with that story about the woman (won't honor her name) without a country.
It appears the dims are doing a great job of covering this up even still.
I knew he was absolutely full of s--- from the first time I saw him on TV in the '92 campaign.... thought "I wouldn't buy a used car from that guy" and certainly never thought he could get elected!! (but then I thought, "nobody ever went broke underestimating the idiocy of the Demagogic Party and realized they might actually go for the guy....").
Remember the terrorist specialist who died in the World Trade Center? What was his name? He walked out of a meeting that was supposed to deal with "terrorists". The meeting was held in Florida. He was a UBL specialist. And walking out of the meeting cost him the power he needed to go after UBL. What was that "terrorists" meeting really about? Was it about the VRWC? Is that why there was a gorelick wall? It was a few months before Hillary mentioned the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Is there a connection? Does anyone know about these rumors?
but he already has, he said it was taken out of context...let me find where he says it and I will private to you....
John O'Neill?

Great post thanks for the effort
So Lugsoul,
I beleive you were expressing doubt about this data's accuracy earlier. What do you say now?
How Clinton has not already died from guilt is beyond me.
"Kerrey's way of lamenting his own limitations?"
Someone needs to get Kerrey a new set of crutches.
He wore out his last set on the 9/11 commission.
