Nice to see pictures of our President with our military in the Oval Office. I'm reading Gen. Tommy Franks' "American Soldier" (very good book, BTW), and he says that he became commander of CENTCOM in 7/00, and had never been invited to the Clinton White House. He'd heard about the administration's "coolness" to military officers. But he met with Pres. Bush less than a month after the latter took office, and was sutprised by the friendliness of the staff and the personal warmth of Pres. Bush, who said to him: "How often do two boys from Midland, Texas, make it this far?" (It also appears from his book that everything Clinton said about spending all his waking hours trying to find Osama was a big fat lie. No suprise.)
That's one thing I don't need a book to know. Bill Clinton's entire eight years in office were nothing but one big, extended frat party. He like the trappings of being president, he had the title and election victories, but he never really was a president in the true sense of what that should mean.
We know from personal remembrance, watching events unfold throughout the 1990's that Clinton did squat about the growing menace of Islamofacism. We know from what is now historical fact that he refused Sudan's several offers to give him Osama bin Laden. We know that his monumental negligence of his duties as president led inexorably to the events of September 11, 2001.
We know that someone got their hands on highly sophisticated weaponized anthrax on Clinton's watch, and unleashed it on this country almost simultaneously with the 9/11/01 hijackings.
We know his administration did more to burn babies to death in Waco, Texas, and to send a small boy back to the Communist hell hole of Castro's Cuba than it ever did to deal with al Qaeda. We know that Waco led to Oklahoma City and the Murrah building bombing.
We know that Clinton's cowardly cut-and-run from Somalia convinced Osama bin Laden that the U.S. had become soft and ripe for being hit, as it was constantly in the 1990's, culminating in the events of September 2001.
Yet in spite of all these facts and more, tragically for the well being of future generations, we also know that there are many seditious, mendacious academicians, authors and so-called journalists who will help cover up Clinton's negligence so it will not be correctly revealed to history.
