Sept. 25, 2006 - Even Bill Clinton, who never met a camera he failed to charm, couldn't keep his rage out of public view any longer. Ever since ABC television aired its riveting but risibly fictive docudrama “The Path to 9/11” earlier this month, former Clintonites have been seething. The miniseries had laid much of the blame for the failure to get Osama bin Laden on Clinton and his supposedly wimpy national-security team. The Bush administration, meanwhile, is portrayed mostly positively, seen gearing up to take on bin Laden when 9/11 hits. No surprise there: “The Path to 9/11” was scripted by a conservative screenwriter named Cyrus Nowrasteh, who once took part in a panel at the right-wing Liberty Film Festival entitled “How Conservatives Can Lead Hollywood's Next Paradigm Shift.”

Humor alert.
MSNBC doesn't like anyone who doesn't stick to the liberal script.
I sent them another nasty email today, but it doesn't do any good. Truth in the eyes of liberal lefties like spitty chrissy and the beast (norah), olberidiot, tucker and scarborough are meaningless. MSNBC requires you to bow at the alter of the DNC to stay employed, and push their propaganda at all costs. They could care less for the truth. MSNBC and NBC are horrible, let by fat dim russert and his merry band of liberal lefty moonbats.
"The Path to Hysteria" By Cyrus Nowrasteh
"My sin was to write a screenplay accurately depicting Bill Clinton's record on terrorism."
What sort of doublespeak is this?
99% of writers on tv and in movies are liberals or even hard left wing. They spend their time lecturing America on how great gay love is, etc. Then one fairly accurate movie criticizes the Clinton administration and the sky is falling. All of a sudden the liberals at ABC are public enemy number one.
I had one of those once. It was really painful for a while.
It proves to them that you're watching.
Why bother?
What? Did Clinton bring back Jimmy Carter's incompetent military advisers?
Our military has far more options than it during the horribly planned and executed rescue attempt by the Carter administration that failed before it really even got going.
Our military also gained considerable experience in dealing with the environment in the middle east during the Gulf War.
This is an absurd argument.
This also ignores that the Bush administration had a plan worked up for going after Al Quaeda that was waiting for Bush's final approval when the 9/11 attack occurred.
Clinton's failures to pursue Bin Landen are well documented and have been reported widely.
Clinton simply did not give priority to going after Bin Laden, and his administration had devastating detrimental effects on the intelligence community that made going after Bin Laden effectively difficult. Which greatly hampered the Bush administration as well.
I'm not buying the story the Clinton lost it in the interview. He knew those questions would be asked considering that it was a current topic. It was yet another Slick Willie acting job.
Instead of actually defending his actions, he made angry accusations that he had tried and Bush had not, but he didn't back them up.
Basically Clinton evaded the question by attacking the person asking the question. Considering that is the typical liberal method for dealing with hones question about their actions this should come as little surprise.
What surprises me the most is that the media is just going along with the story that Clinton lost his cool rather even though he had to know the question was coming and be prepared for it.
Clinton is a perjurer. He's well known for distorting and evading the truth, and for his slick handling of the media.
Yet once again the media buckles when Clinton accuses them of being mean, and lets him evade the questions once again.
This is bizarre.
But the important part of the interview that I haven't heard anyone mention is where Clinton says, "Now, the 9/11 commission was a political document, too" -- after accusing ABC of not following the 9/11 Commission Report.
This gives the Clintons cover for denying the parts of the 9/11 Commission Report they don't like.
So true. To all of those who think this glimpse into the real character of Clinton will hurt him, keep in mind the average American isn't paying that much attention and all they really hear is the spin from the leftists everywhere they turn. That is the reason this most corrupt pair are still viable in the world of politics. If the truth were every really told in a way the people really understood, they would be toast.
