The Dope from Hope

In his interview with CBS newsman Dan Rather set for broadcast on Sunday, ex-President Bill Clinton flatly contradicts his earlier recorded confession that Sudan offered to arrest Osama bin Laden and hand him over to the U.S., calling reports of such an offer "bull."
"On the accusation that he had opportunities to get Osama bin Laden, had opportunities to have him delivered by the Sudanese, he said, 'absolutely, flatly untrue,' describing it as 'bull,'" Rather tells the Washington Post on Thursday.
In Feb. 2002, however, Mr. Clinton clearly admitted that the Sudanese offer had indeed taken place. And that he turned it down.
"Mr. bin Laden used to live in Sudan," Clinton told the Long Island Association on Feb. 15, 2002.
"He was expelled from Saudi Arabia in 1991, then he went to Sudan. And we'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again.
"They released him. At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America.
"So I pleaded with the Saudis to take him, 'cause they could have. But they thought it was a hot potato and they didn't and that's how he wound up in Afghanistan."
On Thursday morning, MewsMax.com offered CBS's "60 Minutes" a copy of its exclusive recording of Clinton's remarks.
But it's not clear whether the network will be willing to embarrass the ex-president by airing smoking gun proof that his current claims about the bin Laden offer are false.
Listen to NewsMax.com's exclusive recording of Bill Clinton admitting that he let bin Laden go free.
Wow. I guess that year of counseling after he "told Hillary" he had been fooling around on her (and apparently, he still is) wasn't aimed at his problem with pathological lying.
I wonder how many more years of counseling it would take to get a handle on his chronic ethophobia?
You can bet your bottom dollar that Rush, Hannity, Savage and the gang will be repeatedly playing recordings of Exhibit A back-to-back with Exhibit B, and it won't make Billy Jeff look very well reformed.
Then again, he's never admitted that he needed reform, so there's not much to work with there.
I sure do wish he'd move to France and stay there.
LOL...

Above is working NewsMax link to Clinton statement. FYI
bump
Bill knows bull.
Does anybody know if there's a transcript of the tape Sean Hannity played on his show where Klintoon ADMITTED he didn't take OBL because he didn't have a LEGAL CHARGE against him???
It all depends on the meaning of "bull."
And - of course - Dan Blather swallows it whole.
I heard his slimy voice myself on tape.He tells so many lies he can not keep up with them.A flawed mind is a great thing to lose.
Rather sees himself as the newsmaker.
I'm sorry to say it, but according to Democrats, this pos has become an............
AMERICAN STANDARD
"I wish this turd named Clinton could finally be flushed ..."
He already has been several times. He is just one of those turds that comes back in the backwash when the toilet bowl is refilling for the next user.
Priceless
I can't believe he said that on 60 minutes .. what an idiot .. LOL
The Sinkmaster would NEVER resort to such tactics!
How dare you expose the truth about this upstanding, lying, traitorous piece of...er...human debris?
SOP! Remember "I lied to my diary"?
Why can't you? He lies until there is no one left to lie to.
And the target audience for 60 Minutes and Newsmax are almost exclusive. So the goal of Clinton is to lie to the 60 Minutes target audience and then trust his minions in the media to fight to keep the Newsmax story away from that target audience.
