Ofcourse it never occurs to the blond airhead that IF Clinton wasn't such a lying fool, the impeachment would never have happened. But, as leties are prone to do, it's blame everyone else.

She is close! If BJ had not used the entire Justice Dept to fight his perjury & campaign finance charges, they might have been able to fight terrorism. He demoralized the DOJ, Military and Law enforcement for his personal sickness. He coddled rather than fought terrorists.

OSAMA = 1995 Unindicted Co-Conspirator for 93' WTC Bombing

OSAMA = 1998 Indicted for 2 African Embassy Bombings

CLINTON = 1995 Refusal of Sudan Offer to bring OSAMA here

CLINTON = 1996 Refusal of Sudan Offer to bring OSAMA here

CLINTON = 2000 Refusal of Sudan to bring OSAMA here

CLINTON = OSAMA = 9/11

Thanks for the ping!

Trying to understand their twisted logic... So if I'm late for work because I was speeding and missed an important meeting... it is the fault of the State Police for having pulled me over and possibly having enforced the law.

Bubba failed to prosecute a war on terror, failed on many levels in his Presidency - simply because of Bubba. A leader takes responsibility, takes accountability. A leader doesn't offer excuses or rationalize. The buck "didn't stop there" during those 8 years.

"...it would look like he was pursuing a wag-the-dog strategy," but Fineman contended..."

Clinton was in fact favoring of a wag-the-dog strategy. He wasn't sure what it was - but he knew that since it has some tail in it, it must be good!

MEMO TO PAULA ZAHN:

Stick a straw into the nozzle on your brain. Let a little air out...

Then go and have your nails and hair done. That's your area of expertise.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

Silliness. It's not as if he needed to personally go out and find UBL. Make it a priority and assign the responsibility to the appropriate agencies.

Clearly, "providing for the common defense" was never top on his to do list.

It is the number one reason not to engage in secret adulterous affairs. They can lead to blackmail by your enemies, put you in a compromising position, and distract you from your job.

Whether or not there was an investigation, Bill Clinton spent a lot of time demonizing his political opponents, savaging and stalking the women who came forward, and trying to bury his tracks.

[weegee]

Additionally WTC I came in 1993 and Khobar came in 1996. Both events quite before the impeachment and both after or during election cycles where he proved popular enough to elect. A president with any understanding of the threat of terrorism would have used either of those events and his political popularity to rally the nation.

You neglect to mention that between 1993 and 1996 was the OKC bombing in 1994. Bill Clinton seized that opportunity to blame it on a VRWC and "evil hate filled polarizing" talk radio.

Bill Clinton looked like he was going to be a one term president until he showed himself to be a "victim" standing in the way of total "anti-government" anarchists. OKC did play into his 1996 re-election.

National Security was put on the trail of a "domestic" threat. Sadly that "threat" did not include Islamofascists.

Puhleeeeeze! CLINTON HURT THE HUNT FOR BIN LADEN. He didn't do anything about it and I'm sick and tired of people blaming anybody and everything except the person responsible - BILL CLINTON!!

Clinton whines and whines he never had an opportunity for greatness .. YES HE DID .. he had several opportunities .. WTC 1993 (he never even went to look at the damage), Oklahoma City (his goons hid the truth), TWA 800 (his goons hid the truth), and the Cole bombing (he did nothing).

[Thom Pain]

Let's not forget that Newt was responsible for the Klintoon's tryst with Monica. You see, Newt "forced" the Gov't to shutdown because he wouldn't spend us blind. It was during the shutdown that Klintoon had illicit sex with "...that woman, Ms Lewinski" while his daughter was upstairs and could have walked in on them at any time!

Oh, and I'm sure Cheney is to blame somehow...

[Michael Smith]

"...impeachment was a great distraction to the country and might have slowed down any kind of progress that was being made on the hunt for Osama bin Laden."

There was no hunt for bin Laden under the Clinton administration. To suggest that lobbing a few cruise missiles at empty tents and an aspirin factory constituted a "hunt" is goofy. CNN continues to live up to the name of Clinton News Network, and that's precisely why they have sunk to the bottom in cable news ratings. For many years when they were the only game in town, they enjoyed the privilege of being allowed to spoon-feed outright propaganda to viewers who didn't know any better. Now that they do know better, thanks primarily to Fox News Channel, they have abandoned CNN in droves.

[Huck]

this is the maddeningly self-involved Bill Clinton that we've known all along

Fineman is such a homo.

[jwalsh07]

I like it, brief and to the point.

[Huck]

Which is rare for me. I thought the same thing.

I believe it was said on Oprah he was left alone with all these lovely young ladies and therefore; he did it because he could. It was the Republicans fault that he was left alone with all these "children"..the temptation was so great! We know the outcome.

I might change the senario to: It gave him a perfect opportunity to romance Monica with fewer interruptions..this fit his plan. He knew what he was doing, with whom, when and he acted. She talked..he lied.."the devil with the blue dress on" temporarily became our National anthem.

It was a right wing conspiracy definitely! ;)

Yes, Clinton hurt the hunt for OBL. I meant he was more interested in Monica than in the Presidency.
