[Cicero]

Not surprising, but I doubt we will see the book reviewed or its news reported or further investigated, except on a small circle of conservative web sites.

Clinton was working with Islamic terrorists in Bosnia, although stories at the time merely said that he "looked the other way" when they broke the embargo he had imposed.

Although people have tried to explain the FRY adventure in terms of oil pipelines, that has never really made sense. My own theory is:

a) He wanted a nice controllable war so he could play the heroic president and take people's minds off his scandals;

b) He wanted a piece of the action in European drug smuggling, which was largely run by Albanian Muslims. I'm pretty sure he got a piece of the action coming through Mexico, but it must have burned him up to see other people getting their 5% in Europe.

It's not suprising if some of these folks mistook clinton's friendliness. We're lucky that China didn't invade Taiwan on a similar misunderstanding--if that's what it should be called.

I think the key is the beginning of the third paragraph, "If senior Islamic terrorists are to be believed..." They cannot. I voted against Bill Clinton twice and think he was an awful President but this strikes me as disinformation to split Mubarak from the current anti-terrorist alliance. That is exactly what I would say now in order to drive a rift between Mubarak and the US at this juncture. Clinton was bad but he was no one's Sorcerer's Apprentice.
