Rewriting history: The latest fairy tale on Clinton's legacy

Al Franken has written a new fairy tale about the Clinton administration's record on defense. His new book supposedly outlines whoppers told by conservatives. But it only serves to highlight what a big idiot Franken himself is. He starts with the nutty idea that because the United States won the war in Afghanistan in late 2001 and early 2002 with a defense establishment inherited from the Clinton administration, it was "Clinton's military" and thus the democrats should get credit for toppling the Taliban. Neither reason nor logic are high on the list of characteristics one would associate with Franken, and this bit of nonsense doesn't do anything to change that reputation. The military inherited by the Bush administration was not just the Clinton administration's legacy. A Republican Congress added some $75 billion in additional resources to the Clinton defense budgets between 1995-2000, funds that prevented the development of serious readiness problems within the U.S. military, especially given the deployment of U.S. forces overseas during the 1993-2000 period — a total of 44 times.

1. The Clinton's are pro-abortion. Our children deserve better.
2. The Clinton's are against school vouchers. Our children deserve better.
3. The Clinton's are against our ballistic missile defense system. Our children deserve to be protected from rogue North Korean nuclear missiles.
4. The Clinton's want Americans to be subjected to the International Criminal Court, which has no Bill of Rights, no right to see your accuser, no jury, and no appeal. Our citizens deserve better.
5. The Clinton's want the Kyoto Treaty on Global Warming to become law. That treaty will eventually lead to the prohibition of gasoline-powered automobiles. We deserve better than to return to the pre-industrial age.
