Build their gallows high

The independent commission investigating the 9/11 attacks has examined a secret videotape of ex-President Clinton discussing an offer from Sudan to have Osama bin Laden arrested five years before the 9/11 attacks, former Navy Secretary and 9/11 Commissioner John Lehman revealed on Tuesday.
Asked if the never-before-seen video confirms that Clinton admitted turning the offer down, Lehman told radio host Sean Hannity, "Well, that is what he said."
While the video of Clinton's bombshell remarks, delivered to the Long Island Association in February 2002, had never been released prior to a request from the 9/11 Commission, NewsMax.com's exclusive audiotape shows the ex-president explaining:
"We'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted to start dealing with us again. They released him. At the time, 1996, had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him."
Secretary Lehman said that when Clinton was interrogated about the comment during his April 8 testimony, his account was somewhat at odds with the version on the tape, saying, "It's not quite the way he described it."
Lehman explained that the former president attempted to give "a broader understanding of what he was talking about" in the February 2002 speech. Asked for specifics, Lehman told Hannity, "I can't go into it, but we will have the full story" in the final report due out in July.
At the time of Clinton's questioning, apparently he, along with at least some of the 9/11 Commissioners, were unaware that his 2002 comments had been recorded. According to 9/11 Commissioner, former Sen. Bob Kerry, Clinton called a transcript of his remarks "a misquote."
In April, LIA spokesman Gary Wojtas told NewsMax that he had turned the secret Clinton video over to the 9/11 Commission at their request the month before. In 2002, the LIA turned down requests for copies of the video from NBC News, the Fox News Channel and NewsMax.
Asked in April whether he would now make the tape public, Wojtas told NewsMax: "That's something we're waiting on right now - that's all I'll say on that. It's not that we won't do it. It's just something we need to wait on right now."
Wojtas did not return NewsMax's call last week seeking release of the videotape.
In other words: We are still holding out hope that the Clintonista's will offer us a large bribe to throw the tape away.
Democratic Senator Bob Kerrey ...."Clinton's an unusually good liar. Unusually good. Do you realize that?"
Build their gallows high
"Mitch McConnell is the Republican whip of the Senate and he's accusing us of being too partisan? He can go to hell for all I'm concerned." — 9/11 Commission member Bob Kerrey to the New York Times, after McConnell complained the panel was growing partisan
If Kerrey really believed that, then he's dumb as a bag of rocks. Clinton wasn't a "good liar" at all. In fact, he was a terrible liar -- because anyone with an IQ over 70 knew he was full of sh!t even if they didn't want to admit it.
Could you or some other Freeper post this at Democrat Underground?? How about posting this also on all those other sights where they hate Bush and love Clinton??
Kerrey's way of lamenting his own limitations?
Good idea. I don't monitor and post there but I know others here are signed up to do it.
There are lies, damned lies and broader understandings. But to clarify things Clinton later says that his lies are "misquoted."
He was taped! LMAO! Good. My brother has a lying sack of shit for an X-Wife and he learned long ago to tape all conversations and make her put everything in writing. Too bad the American public still believe anything from that lying sack of shit we used to have for a President!
They're not going to be exposed, unless old media provides the story to the public. Omission is one of the tools they use to make conservatives look bad and liberals look angelic. Old media will NEVER give us the truth on the idiocy and incompetence of either the Carter or Clinton presidencies.

Doesn't it all really mean what you think the word "is" means?
How sick is America of these two slimeballs????
