CONDI VS. BUBBA . . .(Berger stolen papers revealed?)
NY Post ^ | 9/26/06 | Editorial

Posted on 09/26/2006 6:08:31 AM PDT by teddyballgame

In fact, a 1999 Clarke after-action memo - the one top Clinton aide Sandy Berger later stole from the National Archives - identified national-security weaknesses so "glaring" that only sheer "luck" prevented a cataclysmic attack back then.

And, as Clarke told the 9/11 Commission publicly, there was nothing the Bush administration could have done that would have prevented the attacks.

Sure, he tells a different story now. But that, he admitted, is because of his opposition to the Iraq war, which he believes distracted from the War on Terror.

Secretary Rice was a lot more honest, explaining yesterday that there was no full-scale War on Terror "the way that we're fighting it now" - by either administration - before 9/11: "We just weren't organized as a country, either domestically or as a leader internationally."

He looked like he wanted to physically attack Wallace...

Clinton practically took over Chris Wallace's private space and was WAY over the line. Looked like ole Bill was jabbing Chris in the knee with his big, bony, accusing finger.

I think there is a chance that either GW, Laura or both could have "the talk" with Condi after Nov. It's just a guess but it's impossible to overlook her sheer brilliance and popularity when looking at the not so charismatic field we have to chose from at present.
She's a natural for VP IMHO.

Berger acknowledged to U.S. Magistrate Deborah Robinson that he intentionally took and deliberately destroyed three copies of the same document..."

Comments and notations on those documents are permanently lost unless Burglar gets waterboarded.

Like minds, only I see a very permanent spike heel mark left on Bubbas forehead should he ever be dumb enough to have a go at her.

On Sunday night, we discussed the Sandy-Burglar'd papers having Clinton's "no" on each of the military options.

BTW - did you guys see Carville and Begala on The Today Show Tuesday? I laughed at those two court jesters. They are trying to push this idea that Bubba's performance on Sunday will somehow "energize" the Democratic party. Because, finally, someone has "stood up to" the VRWC. They even said, 'as he has done before, Bill Clinton shows us the way.'

The biggest laugh for me was when Carville called Bill Clinton 'the most popular and relevant man on the planet today.'

Horndog the Hornets' Nest Hound.

hor·nets' nest n. A violent or highly contentious situation: “such diplomatic hornets' nests as [the] expulsion of Asians from Uganda.” The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language

And every single hornet is headed directly for Bubba's bung.

I'll make up a different acronym meaning for "F.O.I.A." then! :-)

A full scale ware on "Terror", not a full scale war like WWII.

He would send his hit dogs after her, or Hillary herself

Maybe, but the bodies would sure pile up fast for those dumb enough to take her on.

from a different camera angle you see.

He was trying to pull a Sandy Burglar.

I agree with you. A man like Berger would never have kept those papers intact if he thought there was even the slightest chance someone else would see them, so of course he destroyed them all.

The Democrats are always SO WILLING to mention the Nixon-card whenever they want to appear without sin. But the Clintons will, would, and did stop at NOTHING to cover their butts, and that will NEVER change.

I think the mini-series hurt bubba and the Clintonistas pretty bad. After all when you do your best to stifle the truth and it comes out just before a major election it must drive someone like bubba mad or nuts.

I think bubba only cares about money and chicks. Like putin or Castro I see him filling a swiss banc account and scoring whenever and where ever he can.

He has to be careful though not to piss off hillary. He knows the price of his tom foolery will be getting hillary elected with a zillion perosonal lip biting, tearful, appearances on her behalf a few months before the election in 08.

He can't afford to become completely irrelevant so early in the game. Hillary is the only one who can destroy him. She has allll the goods on him and wouldn't hesitate to use her info if it would help her in a big way.He knows it.

Thanks. Okay, so Bill isn't a violent person... ;) He's still a creep.

Clinton revisionist history in action here----according to Bubba, you can't believe your own eyes, or what's been written, or what he's already said and done------b/c it gets in the way of his and Hillary's ambitions.

Sound familiar? The Rudy Obfuscation Factory comes to mind. The shape of things to come if Rudy and his ding-a-lings ever get anywhere near the WH.

Bubba and Rudy both operate under The Shadow Effect: they believe they have the ability to "cloud men's minds" so that everything they ever said or did, that gets in the way of their ambitions, is magically erased.......or stolen from the archives and shredded.

This, Clinton's tantrum, was a PR disaster. While it fired up all the old Clintonista's, it was met by jokes, laughter and scorn from the right. Whenever the best efforts of the left are laughed at, it is bad for the left.

It also reminds folk of just how sleazy the Clintons are.

"BTW - did you guys see Carville and Begala on The Today Show Tuesday?"

I saw that and it was a comedy show for sure. I about fell off my chair laughing. These two are tryin' to make a purse out of a sow's ear.

I truly think Bubba stepped in it and this wasn't orchestrated. He may have been lookin' for a fight, but this whole blow up has not helped the Democrats. I think Carville and the Forehead know this and they are tryin' to spin it as best they can.

It was all public information.

Yeah, just like Hillary's thesis. A thesis is required to be public. But, she didn't want it that way. So it isn't. True Clinton form: "My way or the die-way."

At least this time he was only wagging his finger. ;-)

Does anyone recall seeing George Snufulupugus on "This Week" a few years back, when there was discussion of the Clinton cruise missle attack on the Al Queda training camp? During that interview, George was asked why Clinton didn't follow up after we missed. Snufulupugus answered that domestic politics (i.e. the impeachment over Clinton's perjury, and the Monica affair) prevented him from acting, because he would have been accused of "wagging the dog."

In other words, Stephanolpoulos ADMITTED that Clinton's disgraceful behaviour DID AFFECT his policies. I consider that an indictment of Clinton from one of his own.

Aside from this, why would anyone believe a man who was
impeached for suborning perjury and as a result lost his license to practice law in the State of Arkansas, who outright lied in a nationally televised press conference about not having had sex with "That Woman" (who the Clintonista attack machine was framing as a stalker, until the damned stain on the dress proved otherwise); who dissembles on the meaning of the word "is," etc.?

The man is a documented pathological liar, and an extreme narcissist. NOTHING he says can be believed. His "legacy" will not be good, he knows it, and now he is losing it.

The country owes Chris Wallace a debt of gratitude.
