What Would Clinton Do? -- About Cindy

Surely you remember the media furor that occurred after the parents of a Medal Of Honor soldier blamed Bill Clinton for his death? I don't either.

In reality, the reports about this were few and far between. One of the rare accounts came from a foreign newspaper, the London Sunday Times:

May 29, 1994Dead Hero's Father Tears into Clinton

It was the moment President Bill Clinton wanted to restore his tattered reputation with the military before his departure for the D-Day celebrations in Europe this week, James Adams reports.

He had just presented posthumous Congressional Medals of Honour, America's highest military decoration, to the widows of two soldiers for valour in Somalia. After inviting the families for a moment of quiet reflection in the Oval Office, the president approached Herbert Shughart, the father of one of the two soldiers, and offered his hand.

To his astonishment the handshake was declined. ''You are not fit to be president of the United States,'' said Shughart Senior. ''The blame for my son's death rests with the White House and with you. You are not fit to command.''

The president reeled and the unprecedented onslaught continued for some minutes. According to witnesses it was a ''highly charged emotional moment'' which resulted in Clinton trying to explain to Shughart,Sr. why the events of that day last October were not his fault.

Shughart and his colleague, both sergeants, were killed trying to rescue fellow rangers from a vicious fire-fight in which 18 died and 75 were wounded. A later Pentagon investigation revealed that the troops had been refused the right equipment and there was no political or military plan to justify the Americ an presence in Somalia. Although the president has tried to escape the blame, he is largely credited with the failure of the whole American effort to bring peace to Somalia. According to witnesses to the Oval Office scene, the Shughart family remained unconvinced by the president's arguments.

''The medal doesn't help anything, other than that we are grateful that Randy will be remembered in such an honourable way,'' said Lois Shughart, the soldier's mother.

This incident is also recounted in Lt. Col. Tom McKenney's book, The Clinton Chronicles:

Eventually, after Clinton had sat on the paper work for eight weeks, two of the slain soldiers, Master Sergeant Gary Gordon and Sergeant First Class Randall Shughart, were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. As usual in such cases, the medals were presented to the next of kin.

Following the May 23 presentation at the White House, the families of the two men were invited into the Oval Office for a private visit with Clinton. Inside the office, the father of Sergeant Shughart refused to shake Clinton's hand, then look him in the face and calmly told him that he was responsible for his son's death, that it was for no purpose, that he was not fit to be President, and not fit to be Commander in Chief.

Clinton was visibly shocked, amazed, and momentarily speechless. It is revealing that he was surprised that the man should feel that way. Clinton really doesn't think the way most people do, seeming to lack a sense of personal responsibility. After a brief, awkward silence, Clinton caught his breath. Becoming angry, he turned to the mother of the dead soldier and said, "What's he jumping on me for? I didn't kill the kid!"

The Shugharts should feel lucky, I guess. At least Clinton didn't have them arrested or sic the IRS on them, as he did with his others who refused to shake his hand, such as Patricia and Glenn Mendoza.

"What Would Clinton Do? -- About Cindy"

I believe the headline should read, "WHAT WOULD CLINTON DO TO CINDY"

The answer is not postable without suffering the wrath of the mods. Because Clinton only does X rated things with strange women!!

[ncountylee]

Becoming angry, he turned to the mother of the dead soldier and said, "What's he jumping on me for? I didn't kill the kid!"

The buck never stops here.

Clinton is appalling, an unbelievable embarrassment. Everytime you think he can't sink any lower, he does. And that's because he's a sociopath. No conscience, no empathy. All arrogant narcissism. If Cindy's son had died while Bill was President and Cindy were a tad more attractive, he would have shown her the sink in the bathroom off the oval office.

I dare not post how I think Clinton would handle Sheehan. Let's just say she would be "quieted" one way or another.

[colorcountry]

What would Clinton do? - about Cindy?

My first thought was.....he'd probably rape her!

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Without a doubt.....Clinton would get her in private and fondle her breasts......

He did it before....he would do it again.

And no doubt......she would like it....

I remember clearly Gore on the Ted Koppel show, asked about Somalia, said "That didn't happen on my watch."

In fact all of it did.

Pres. GHW Bush had pulled out U.S. troops when they finished their mission of famine aid. Clinton put 'em back in as part of a UN mission.

It is amazing that Gore would deny that Blackhawk down took place squarely in their Administration, and that Koppel didn't challenge him.

Clintonites are people without any responsibility to or before history.

BTW, who out there remembers some of the Dems who regularly criticized Pres. Bush about Iraq: "He didn't finish the job!"

[TheForceOfOne]

The word "IS" rattles in his brain like a swarm of locusts. He would feel her pain, the same pain Monica gave him in the beginning before she got better at it.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Just like Waco. He blamed the whole disaster on Janet Reno and claimed to have had nothing to do with it.

At the same time Clinton was making crosses out of pebbles he found on Normandy beach--for the cameras.

A helicopter pilot I knew when I in the Army was there at Normandy for that. His unit was standing in parade formation while the "drama" was unfolding a short distance from them. He said there were literally hushed groans of disgust coming from within the ranks.

[Brilliant]

Clinton would not have to deal with Cindy because if he were President, no one would have ever heard of Cindy Sheehan. The media would have simply ignored her.

[prophetic]

I'd bet even money that Janet "Bar-B-Que" Reno would have arranged for her family suddenly arrested on false Illegal Weapons Possession charges and the IRS would suddenly slap a lien on all the relatives for Owing Back Taxes.

[ken5050]

Why can't we somehow encourage Hillary to meet with Cindy?

[snowrip]

I remember when Clinton gave a State of the Union address once... He called out for a soldier, from the firefight in Somalia I believe, to stand up and be recognized for his service to the country. After two requests from the Rapist in Chief, the soldier finally stood. His face was red, his jaw clenched tightly, his fists clenched, and he did not salute Clinton.

[cubreporter]

Clinton caught his breath. Becoming angry, he turned to the mother of the dead soldier and said, "What's he jumping on me for? I didn't kill the kid!"



Is that truly what he said? I can't belive it. He called that soldier a "kid?" See? clintin couldn't even swallow his pride and show some class by understanding how the father felt. No he had to go to the mother who lost her son and ask such an awful question referrring in a street manner of speaking to the father as "he" and their son as the "kid."

I tell ya this clintin when it comes down to the nitty gritty is the most vulgar person there is. He has no manners, no class, no culture, no dignity, no character and no soul.

He truly is:

The Worst President in the history of the United States!" Bar none!!!

[snowrip]

bump and heads up on this idea to dougfromupland!

[Sam Hill]

"IRS would suddenly slap a lien on all the relatives for Owing Back Taxes."

Wouldn't faze Cindy. She's had tax liens in the past. Two of them.

The last one she seems to have paid off using her son's death benefits.

All the photos of this charade seem to have been disappeared from the internet. At least I can't find any.

There are still some captions, like from CBS, but the photos are GONE.
