Bill Clinton Caught Again
News Max ^ | October 9, 2005 | Staff

Posted on 10/09/2005 8:25:04 AM PDT by yoe

Either Bill Clinton is not telling the truth now about the terrorist threat posed by Iraq during his administration - or he fibbed to the American people while he was in the White House.

Clinton recently told his former staffer-turned TV commentator George Stephanopoulos that the U.S. government had "no evidence that there were any weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq.

But a recent report in the The Weekly Standard headlined "Clinton Revisionism" unmasks Clinton's flip-flops over the Iraq weapons of mass destruction issue.

For example, during an appearance on "Larry King Live" back in July 2003, the former president said:

"When I left office, there was a substantial amount of biological and chemical material unaccounted for."

In October of that year, six months after the war ended, Clinton discussed Iraq with Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Manuel Durao Barroso.

Barroso said: "When Clinton was here recently he told me he was absolutely convinced, given his years in the White House and the access to privileged information which he had, that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction until the end of the Saddam regime."

Last month Clinton discussed the Iraq war with Wolf Blitzer and told him: "I never thought it had much to do with the war on terror."

But in a February 1998 speech warning of an "unholy axis" of terrorists and rogue states, Clinton stated: "There is no more clear example of this threat than Saddam Hussein's Iraq."

That summer six senior Clinton officials accused Iraq of providing chemical weapons expertise to al-Qaida in Sudan.

The Clinton administration cited this link to justify the destruction of a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan supposedly involved in the production of chemical weapons.

The Standard concludes: "Clinton's revisionism is hardly surprising. He has his wife's future in an increasingly anti-war Democratic Party to worry about."

Liars all. They seriously need to shut their mouths, or admit that they believed Saddam had WMD's, too. But to deny they ever said it and to blame Bush for being wrong shows what cynical SOB's these Dems are.

Is x42I NUTS ?

He can't run away from signing the "Iraq Liberation Act" into law in 1998.....of which, BTW, nobody mentions.

http://www.fcnl.org/issues/int/sup/iraq_liberation.htm

There were 12 specific findings by the senate, of which, 4 were specific regarding WMD's.

Here's the liar's statement about the signing of the bill into law:


"...The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 provides additional, discretionary authorities under which my Administration can act to further the objectives I outlined above. There are, of course, other important elements of U.S. policy. These include the maintenance of U.N. Security Council support efforts to eliminate Iraq's weapons and missile programs and economic sanctions that continue to deny the regime the means to reconstitute those threats to international peace and security. United States support for the Iraqi opposition will be carried out consistent with those policy objectives as well. Similarly, U.S. support must be attuned to what the opposition can effectively make use of as it develops over time. With those observations, I sign H.R. 4655 into law.

WILLIAM J. CLINTON

THE WHITE HOUSE,

October 31, 1998."


He can't get away from this.....

Yeah that's absolutely right!

And by the way, the article says:

U.S. government had "no evidence that there were any weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq.

That's cause it's all in Sandy Berger's pants...

The same BILL CLINTON that now says that:

We may well lose the War in Iraq, with our own Freedom directly at stake here at home

has previously said that:

There may not even be an America around in 300 years
...said publically after he left Office as President of the United States


Americans apologize to the now Free people of Central America for our having fought on the wrong side against CASTRO-backed Communists trying to take over Central America during the 1980's
...said in a speech given in Central America while being impeached in the U.S. Congress

This while 2008 Presidential Candidate HILLARY's No. 1 Media Defensive Linebacker WALTER CRONKITE had said that:

The 11 Southern States of the United States should SECEDE from the Union
...said publically in a Year 2000 World Conference in London

The Enemy is now Within...
...and always has been

Clinton was forcing King Fahd to accept the US corporations over their European competitors.

During Secretary Ron Brown's first months in office he was responsive to the plight of the Vietnam Veterans enslaved and tortured by the Saud family, that is until he returned from a trade mission to Saudi Arabia.

Upon returning Secretary Brown called the plight of the Vietnam Veterans a negative and refused to aid in the negotiations to settle this dispute. At this same time he was actively and successfully pursuing negotiations between large US corporations and the Saud family.

The Washington Post reports: "Clinton yielded to 'resurgent mercantilism' and allowed Commerce Secretary Ronald H. Brown to become the U.S. government's human rights spokesman, Human Rights Watch Executive Director Kenneth Roth said: ... 'So thoroughly did the quest for foreign markets eclipse human rights that Secretary Brown made the audacious claim, without presidential contradiction, that ... the public stigmatization of repressive regimes - for decades indispensable to the defense of human rights - is a mere 'feel-good policy' that accomplishes nothing."

Recently, President Clinton personally interfered with the separation of powers when he attempted to get the resignation of Federal judge Harold Baer after the judge made an unpopular decision. Feeling the strong arm tactics Judge Baer did reverse his decision. Clinton cannot plead ignorance since he taught Constitutional law. In another instance, the Clinton Administration sent a State Department official to Houston joined by a Justice Department official to interfere with the judicial process by intimidating a Federal judge in support of Prince Saad (Prince Saad was the Prince who had his daughter executed and her lover beheaded in Death of a Princess). The Clinton Administration was supporting Prince Saad against two of his slaves who had escaped from the Houston Ritz Hotel as well as two Vietnam Veterans also enslaved and tortured by the Saud family. A Washington lawyer initially aided the Vietnam Veterans only to abandon them upon becoming a White House political appointee. When cornered just after his appointment he said that further aiding the Vietnam Veterans would be a political negative

This was the prayer they were praying during the Clinton Administration:

When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:

"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We confess that we have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and call it Pluralism.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
Amen!"
