NEW YORK Appearing on "Meet the Press" with Tim Russert this week, two broadcast veterans, Tom Brokaw of NBC and Ted Koppel...declared that Bill Clinton would have gone into Iraq just like George Bush if were still president in 2003.
Along with Russert, they also argued that it was a "uniformly held belief" that Saddam Hussein had WMD when the Iraq war began.
KOPPEL: I mean, the only difference between the Clinton administration and the Bush administration was 9/11.
BROKAW: Right.
KOPPEL: If 9/11 had happened on Bill Clinton's watch, he would have gone into Iraq.
BROKAW: Yeah. Yeah.

Well, we would have to talk about Impeaching him now for doing so, right?
Must... keep.. straight...face...
BWAHAAHAAAAHAAAAAA!!!!!
You sure this wasn't on Comedy Central? If not, it should have been.
Brokaw: Yeah. Yeah.
Both: YEAH!
(Koppel & Brokaw engage in a media orgy - scene fades to black)
What the hell does that mean? Is it a word, or an adolescent expletive?
Have you ever battened down your poker face, to keep from laughing hysterically at something so outrageous as these two asshats carrying water for William the Impeached?
KOPPEL: I mean, the only difference between the Clinton administration and the Bush administration was 9/11.
Gag me...... LOL
I took it as laughter.
Cobra64..."BWAHAAHAAAAHAAAAAA!!!!!" is as much of a FReeperism as "hugh," "series," "stuned," "loose" or "beeber."
You've been around here long enough! We have our own language about things.
Here's another classic from Old Sarge: "Must... keep.. straight...face..."
Have a stick-ectomy...'k?
Lets look clearly at the facts and thinking method of Billy Boy. After the first attempt on the World Trade Center...nothing. After the Africa consulate bombings...there was some investigation work...but no revenge. After the Cole....some finger-pointing but no revenge. If Billy Boy had been around for 9-11...he would have felt their pain. I doubt seriously that he would have flown to Cheyenne Mountain to consider national security...he would have rather flown to NY City to see the destruction and hold their hands. He might have asked the State Departement....not the CIA...to figure out who did this. And he might have asked the Afghan government to simply hand over Ossama...which they would not have done. After a year of trying to use the UN to coach the Afghan's into handing over Ossama....he would have gone to the press and said that he had done all that he could do. The amusing thing here is that Al Gore....with what little military background that he had...probably would have at least invaded Afghanistan...were he the president at the time. So that would be an improvement over Billy Boy. But Al would have set the limit to Afghanistan and getting purely Ossama...nothing more. Saddam would still be in power, and his sons waiting for him eventual death to take the reins of power.
Koppel and Brokaw can chat up a storm....but neither have a sense of reality about the nation or the world. They live inside a insulated cube...and have a marginal view of the real world.
Great post!
I hope the GOP has tapes of this handy for every fundraising event on the 2006 schedule.
But, don't forget. The asshat activated the Arkansas National Guard...once I believe.
Oh Lord, you gave him eyes yet he does not see....
KOPPEL: If 9/11 had happened on Bill Clinton's watch, he would have gone into Iraq.
Methinks the Condom King would have launched a few cruise missiles and settled back for another Lewinsky....
Clinton wouldn't have gone into South Carolina if the Rebs were firing on Fort Sumter.
