Well, there was that time when you sent your State Department out to report 500,000 Albanian victims of Serbuan genocide, and then once you started a war on the pretext of stopping that, you sent your Secretary of Defense out to claim there were at least 1,000 victims. Meanwhile, there have not been shown to be more than 3,500 victims tops, and the evidence that they were genocide victims is very questionable.
And btw, what if instead of sending her tapes to Ken Starr, Linda Tripp had sold them to the Chinese, or the Saudis, or even agents of Sadaam? Do you think having a president in a position to be blackmailed by foreign nations has any public policy impact? And do you think that impact would be favorable to the interest of the American people? Wasn't allowing yourself to be put in such a vulnerable situation was letting the American people down? Hmmmm?
America was fortunate to dodge that particular bullet, but only because Linda Tripp was ultimately a patriot who did the right thing instead of selling out her country for what certainly would have been a nice retirement fund.
He BELIEVES his own tripe! He's INSANE!
She definatly got the big hosing in that deal.One of my few complaints against the current occupant of the white house is that he didn't lift a finger to help rescue her from the Clinton slime machine. She didn't pick this fight, Clinton and Monica brought it to her.I'm ashamed that W didn't do anything to help her.
"Do you think having a president in a position to be blackmailed by foreign nations has any public policy impact?"
My guess is, he was being blackmailed by the Chinese all along. The impeachment was a warning shot, letting him know what kind of damage they could really do if they blew the whistle on him.
I think the senators knew this, and that is why they torpedoed the trial--to let the Chinese know we wouldn't let our government fall regardless of what dirt they had--which would all be sequestered in the infamous evidence room.
