Rush is talking about it right now!

[Fudd Fan]

durn, I’m back at work and not listening. oh well.

[EternalVigilance]

I've always summed up Clinton's defense and foreign policy this way:

"Huge carrot, no stick."

Nothing I've seen has ever disabused me of that analysis.

[tubebender]

RUSH just said that the NY Times has a piece on the report and also the fact that none of the Press was quoting the NYT...

Shocka of the Day: Did Clinton Lie about Targeting Bin Laden?

Has Clinton lied about anything else?

[SwinneySwitch]

BJ Clinton is a compulsive liar!

[massgopguy]

Rush brought that up yesterday. Apparently not.

Wherever it came from, I’ll be using it in the future.

“I worked hard to try to kill him. I authorized a finding for the CIA to kill him. We contracted with people to kill him. I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since.”

I think if a bit more digging got done into what all old Bill Clinton opined about in his 'cry me a river' meltdown, was that those 'neocons' prevented him from getting OBL or stopping these terrorists killers. For some reason the 'FOX' media nor those supposed 'neocons' have NEVER made an issue with old Bill Clinton's media whine.

CLINTON: No, no. I authorized the CIA to get groups together to try to kill him. The CIA, which was run by George Tenet, that President Bush gave the Medal of Freedom to, he said, "He did a good job setting up all these counterterrorism things." The country never had a comprehensive anti-terror operation until I came there.

Now, if you want to criticize me for one thing, you can criticize me for this: After the Cole, I had battle plans drawn to go into Afghanistan, overthrow the Taliban, and launch a full-scale attack search for bin Laden. But we needed basing rights in Uzbekistan, which we got after 9/11.

The CIA and the FBI refused to certify that bin Laden was responsible while I was there. They refused to certify. So that meant I would've had to send a few hundred Special Forces in helicopters and refuel at night. Even the 9/11 Commission didn't do that. Now, the 9/11 Commission was a political document, too. All I'm asking is, anybody who wants to say I didn't do enough, you read Richard Clarke's book.

Geezus! My BS Meter pegged after the first sentence!

CLINTON:Now, I've never criticized President Bush

WTFO??????

[Grampa Dave]

Have, either Clinton ever told the truth?

[Shelayne]

And so, I left office. And yet, I get asked about this all the time. They had three times as much time to deal with it, and nobody ever asks them about it. I think that's strange.

Huh? Well, not before 9-11. Taken in context, you sound ridiculous. But we knew that already, didn't we Impeached President Clinton?
