Bubba wouldn't even go after bin Laden or rescind the EO on assassination.
Let the rewriting of history continue.
Clinton probably would have gone to war against Iraq. After all, a war is a great thing for one's legacy and that was his priority. Better for Bill than his bombing of the Balkans.
Damn the luck. If only terrorists would've attacked the World Trade Center when Clinton was President.
Oh....wait a minute....
It would of depended on which way the wind was blowing......
We don't need conjecture to figure out what Clinton's reaction would be: After terrorists tried to blow up the WTC in '93 he did nothing.
Brokow and Koppel wouldn't know reality anymore now than they did when they were at the top of their game. They're just a bunch of never beens.
Shh...that's an inconvenient detail.
The MSM now senses Iraq is an asset for Bush so they want Clinton in on it. Nevermind Clinton's been on record talking out both sides of his mouth about he would/wouldn't have done the same thing.
We can answer this for the MSM. Clinton a) wouldn't have had the guts b) if he had done it he would have withdrawn when the first poll went South and left a bigger mess then existed before.
Lastly, only in an MSM bubble would they attempt to sell us a bill of goods that the only difference between the administrations was 9-11. I responded to this in anothe rthread on the same topic, won't go there again, but we can all spend hours detailing the differences between this administration dealing with domestic and foreign policy, treatment of their "political" enemies and basic characters of the occupants.
Nor did they react to the U.S.S. Cole and other terrorism on his watch. As well, their response to saddam was continued U.N. sanctions and letting our planes get shot at.
Koppel and Brokaw need to get out of their fictionial world and acknowledge Clinton was hit with challenges on lesser scale that give us insight into his response. Going to war against Iraq with the UN. balking at enforcing its own resolution never would have happened...unless he needed a distraction for another Monica. And even then he'd never have stuck by them once his latest scandel died down.
Damn the luck. If only terrorists would've attacked the World Trade Center when Clinton was President.
Oh....wait a minute....
Worth repeating!
Good one.
NO Dem would have gone into Iraq... that goes for Lieberman too.
Everybody's missing the point: for the last year, the media has been hammering President Bush by saying he misled the nation into an illegal war. Now two of its most familiar faces are saying their beloved Man From Hope would have done exactly the same thing.
In a single casual exchange, Brokaw and Koppel have swept away the entire "Bush Lied People Died" argument.
Breathtaking.
I remember reading how Clinton envied FDR, and wanting a war for his legacy as well. That explains Kosovo.
