1999 —"Project Megiddo" went public on the FBI website. It was a directive given in 1995 to the FBI from Bill Clinton to direct their investigative efforts towards only domestic terrorism such as the Christian right and militias. No effort was to be made to link any American group with Islamic terrorists.

1999 —The Transportation Security Administration altered a terrorist report to exclude all references to foreign terrorists. David Holmes, head of the Commerce Department zeroed in on white militia groups in a 1999 threat analysis. Commerce officials who worked on the case say Holmes' exclusion of every threat group that wasn't white was in keeping with what they say was the Clinton administration policy of focusing on domestic threats from white militia groups, rather than Islamic groups, in combating terrorism. "Holmes made us take out every group that wasn't white, no minority groups allowed. He was toeing the liberal line of the Clinton administration.”

I can't disagree with you that Clinton was possessed of "pathological self interest". I maintain that part of this pathology is manifested in hatred and paranoia. The ideological right was perceived as a greater threat than any other, and trumped all other concerns, as is obvious with the measures taken above.

Thanks Mia T. It is the machinations of the anti-truth, anti-freedom, destroyer of life, the criminal mind. Bill Clinton has much more in common with OBL than he has with any poster on this thread. It is the same battle survivor-explorer-inquisitive-rational man has been fighting since the beginning of time. Thanks for your work Mia T.

Its good business for them to sell us out.....and so far we've let them get away with it. Reminds me of something Stalin once observed...that the West would sell him the rope with which he intended to hang us all.

"Brit_Guy, you should know that by now. Look what's happening in London.", "LIBERALS AND TERRORISTS ALIKE are banking on people taking your position."

Liberals are banking on winning the next election. That means they need the news agenda and the topics of political debate to focus on the minds of the 20% (max) of people in the 'centre' who are in any way at all susceptible to being a swing voter. All I'm saying is that for those people this kind of 'he said, she said, they said' debate years after the event is a turn off. They are more likely to be swayed if the government can keep the news agenda on showing it has plans for tomorrow, rather than appearing to try to get it onto excuses for why we are where we are.

Clinton's contribution, or lack thereof, to the current security situation is done and dusted. It is now a matter between the man himself, his conscience (if he has one) and his maker.

I agree that you need to understand history to deliver good policy. And from that perspective an analysis of the past is valuable. But to try to get space in the news agenda on this will switch off peoples who vote will be crucial. The news agenda should focus now on the plans for tommorow - because that is all todays administration can change. They are where they are and shouldn't be looking like they need excuses because they dont. All in my very humble opinon.

We explore there and then here and now so it won't happen again away in the future. There is another Clinton waiting in the wings. The very thought of that makes me afraid, very afraid. Keep exploring. Do not let go of this, please, for the sake of my now-14 year old children.

Great reading, as always...

What do you think of the people who want sire clinton to head the U.N.?

I just heard on the radio that if Annan steps down, sire clinton wants to head it....he says people have asked him to take over the U.N.

If anyone was listening to Rush yesterday, you really got a laugh...he played a tape of clinton saying he was obsessed with getting bin laden....can you believe that??? LMAO

"I think we fool ourselves when we believe that people don't find the rabid hatred of Clinton by the far right a turn-off. They do and it makes the not-quite-so-far right look equally hateful and rabid. "
 
This line of attack is a turn off.
 
But I do not believe you will convince Americans that Clinton intentionally allowed 9/11 to happen.
 
Wrong.
 
Clinton may not have intentionally allowed 9/11 to happen...but he certainly did nothing to prevent it; if anything, Clinton permitted it to happen because he (and our government) was considered weak and near totally passive in the face of  8  major terrorist attack during his administration.
 
Bush is already (in the here and now) and has been the winner since day 1 of his election. He will continue to win thru 2008.
 
Hitlery could be discredited. She wasn't the President. Bill was.
 
I doubt we can build a constructive path to the future without defining and recognizing the failures of the past.
 
Mia T's work is important because Hillary IS BILL CLINTON! She is already running for Presidential election. People around the country are getting requests for donations for her campaign. Why would I want to contribute to Hillary' campaign when I live in the Midwest?
 
Clinton, and Hillary continue their efforts to rewrite history.

I find your post most interesting... I was begining to feel I was the only one feeling that way...

The problem I see with any democrat running is:

1. The border. If she pickes up on the border and says she will put border guards along the south and north borders, we are sunk...this is a hot issue that people are waiting to see who has the best plan on.

2. On fox this morning it was stated that people are begining to say more and more they want our soldiers home and out of Iraq.

If hillary or any other rat that is running for pres. jumps on one or both of these, we will have a dem in the WH. I don't like it at all, but Bush won't listen to us on the border issue, we want it protected and he doesn't....

  1. The clintons are conflating bill and hillary.
  2. Wasn't it 'two for the price of one'???
  3. hillary HIRED JAMIE GORELICK, HIRED CRAIG LIVINGSTONE.
    Her fingerprints are all over the failed, corrupt, dangerous, deadly clinton presidency

Why hillary clinton should never be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office... or any position of power--THE SERIES
REASON 1: MISSUS CLINTON HIRED JAMIE GORELICK


HILLARY'S TRIPLE PLAY
the clinton putsch + filegate + the gorelick wall

Their second ploy is to conflate "bill" and "hillary." "The clintons" become a single construct. Missus clinton arrogates bill's "bridge to the 21st century " as "theirs." And, by lifting the lyrics straight from Pinocchio, she becomes "the man from 'hope'."

The danger here for missus clinton is that with the bridge and the hope come the abuses and the utter failures.

WHY MISSUS CLINTON IS DANGEROUS

They turned our bridge to the 21st century into a tunnel back into the 19th century. Back us out of that Republican tunnel, fill it in, go back across the bridge.... We'll have a giant celebration when we come back to Columbus in 2020. There's nothing more wonderful than making dreams come true.

issus clinton is a dud.

I could say she has all of bill clinton's baggage and none of his charm, except I don't find bill clinton charming. What she lacks, in my view, is lubricant. Snake oil. She grates.

It's more than simple dislike. You don't want to see her; and you definitely don't want to hear her.

Missus clinton is everyman's worst nightmare: ex-wife, fishwife, frigid wife, mother-in-law; worse, the abusive Nazi commandant in the Lina Wertmuller masterpiece. When she humiliates, which is always, she dons the military-issue undershirt, she grabs the whip.

The clintons are clearly aware of this problem and are attempting to mitigate it with veneer.

Their first ploy is to pushpoll to artificially jack up missus clinton's numbers; this is a relatively easy task, given a compliant press. This illusion of electability is intended to fool the voters, activate the herd mentality and ultimately fool the smart money of the David Geffen-Harold Ickes stripe.

It won't work. Missus clinton has 100% name recognition. Any vote she doesn't already have, she won't get. Conversely, many voters have 0% information on the clinton abuses of power and utter failures. From this it follows that many votes she has today, she won't have tomorrow.

Their second ploy is to conflate "bill" and "hillary." "The clintons" become a single construct. Missus clinton arrogates bill's "bridge to the 21st century " as "theirs." And, by lifting the lyrics straight from Pinocchio, she becomes "the man from 'hope'."

The danger here for missus clinton is that with the bridge and the hope come the abuses and the utter failures.


AFTERWORD:

Who in heaven's name is writing missus clinton's speeches? They make her sound like a cross between Pinocchio on Halcyon and a clueless tourist from Park Ridge, Illinois driving into Manhattan during rush hour. Oops.

And the plagiarizing... I mean, the clintons are shameless. And it isn't only Pinocchio.

In 2002, I wrote that the bridge to the 21st century was, arguably, clinton's most delusional conceit, that it overshot the mark by at least 1400 years.

To be fair, missus clinton's 19th-century reference is to that <yawn> retrograde 'retrograde Republicans' cliché, whereas my 7th-century reference is to the retrograde-in-fact islamofascist terrorists, whose jihadi declarations and acts of war against us the clintons willfully ignored for eight long years--allowing al Qaeda to grow exponentially in strength and reach, setting us up--very nicely, thank you--for 9/11 and its cataclysmic aftermath.

"WHY DID BILL CLINTON IGNORE TERRORISM?"

Because good leaders make difficult, often unpopular decisions.
