While Clinton Fiddled

As the elections of 1996 loomed, a sense of crisis pervaded America. We seemed under attack from all directions by terrorists, foreign and domestic. A bomb exploded amid the Summer Olympic Games. TWA flight 800 vaporized over the Atlantic and many suspected terror. Hundreds of American soldiers died as a bomb ripped through their barracks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A year before, the federal office building in Oklahoma City was destroyed, killing hundreds more. In 1993, a bomb ripped through the World Trade Center hospitalizing a thousand people and killing six.

bump.

I think you forgot to mention the freeing of PR terrorists by Clinton while he fiddled, Mr. Morris.

[umgud]

You gotta know that WJC has read this. I hope it hurts.

[nothingnew]

Mr. Morris, a Fox News political commentator, was an adviser to President Clinton.

Really?...What did you advise the scumbag about, Mr Morris,all those years? And why are you telling us all this now, Mr. Morris?

SHEESH.

FMCDH

[El Gato]

he remained unusually passive.

Perhaps there is something to the "precious bodily fluids" business after all. Certainly "that woman", did her best to keep Bubba's fluid level low. In any event it may have served to reduce his concentration on what he never liked in the first place, foreign policy and military matters.

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

Hundreds of American soldiers died as a bomb ripped through their barracks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Morris must have his dog collar too tight and is still sucking hookers toes. Five Americans lost their lives in the bombing at the training facility in Riyadh, 19 were killed in the bombing of the barracks in Dharan.

A more apt title for this post would be "While Clinton Diddled.

[Slyfox]

Bill Clinton is a psychopath. He did his level best to tear this country apart. Every one of our sworn
mortal enemies were his best pals. His heart was not in the job of this country, because as a psychopath
he has no heart. He wanted this country to go down the toilet and pretty near succeeded. Yeah, Clinton
fiddled all right but not with an instrument. The correct title should be:

While Clinton Masturbated

[Ciexyz]

Sheesh, we could have deported Mohammed Atta if Clinton had been on the ball.

[spectre]

I can't stand Clinton more than most people on this forum - BUT "hundreds" did not die at the Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia. 19 died and almost 500 were wounded.

Not that I mind Morris bashing his former bud, but he doesn't need to exagerate to make his argument.

[doug from upland]

He advised him on how to get re-elected. That is what he was hired to do. We can't forgive him for that, but at least it is refreshing to hear some of the truth.

[dread78645]

We polled and speculated about its possible impact on President Clinton's re-election only a few months later.

Since Dick Morris was one of the top advisors, he shouldn't be too sanctimonious about Clinton's "fiddling".

[katykelly]

Dick Morris = enabler

[Sarah]

"FMCDH"???

[ladyinred]

Clinton didn't want to upset his base.......translation, most imigrants vote democratic.( Legal or illegal.) It all boiled down to votes.
Morris is a disgusting weasel, but I am pleased to see he is purging himself of some of the truth about the Clinton adminstration's role in the terrorist attacks.

He failed to clarify the fact that Gore did not act on the recommendations of his panel after receiving campaign contributions from the airlines.

[houston1]

And don't forget that W ignored the recommendations of a panel that just had completed a 2 year study on terrorism. Cheyney was going to look into it after he was done with the economy, energy policy, and faith based initiatives. Terrorism wasn't high on anybody's list prior to Sept. I also remember Lott & Gingrich back around '95 rebuffing Clinton's anti-terror proposals, saying something to the effect that they might get around to it eventually, but it wasn't going to be a high priority since they were busy with the C.W.A.(except the term limit part). Both sides have culpability on the issue.

[The Raven]

The same think has and is happening in the Middle East. It's about time we also take a second look at our blame-Israel first policies (or perhaps, enabling the terrorists policy).

Keep the libs out of foreign policy.
