Looking for the bill clinton 'Can we kill 'em tomorrow?' audio or video
It 10 was uttered on April 12, 2006.
BTW, this AP photo of him rivals the Reuters fire-and-brimstone photo of her....
Well, almost. ;)
Is the news-service sector trying to tell us something?
He also reflected on his own decisions when, as commander in chief, he was urged to launch a military strike.6
"I always thought of Senator Fulbright and the terrible quagmire in Vietnam and how many times we sent more soldiers and found ourselves in a hole and kept digging because we didn't want to look like we were weak,'' he said.
"So anytime somebody said in my presidency, 'If you don't do this people will think you're weak,' I always asked the same question for eight years: 'Can we kill 'em tomorrow?'"
"If we can kill 'em tomorrow, then we're not weak,1 and we might be wise enough to try to find an alternative way,'' he said.
bill clinton Bill Clinton, the Sultan of Swing, gave an interesting speech last week, apropos foreign policy: "Anytime somebody said in my presidency, 'If you don't do this people will think you're weak,' I always asked the same question for eight years: 'Can we kill 'em tomorrow?' If we can kill 'em tomorrow, then we're not weak, and we might be wise enough to try to find an alternative way."
The trouble was tomorrow never came - from the first World Trade Center attack to Khobar Towers to the African embassy bombings to the USS Cole. Manana is not a policy. The Iranians are merely the latest to understand that.
Make no mistake: The undermining of Bush and America is the number one clinton imperative.2
DEFINING DEVIANCY DOWN
The clintons typically prop themselves up by revising others down.3 Direct, upward revision of their own legacy is virtually impossible to pull off,4 given their wide-reaching unsavory renown.F
But the clintons' inflated sense of self causes them from time to time to dispense with rational thought and attempt to do just this; and so we get the clinton mañanas.
PURPOSEFUL FAILURE
First clinton claimed he got impeached on purpose. To save the Constitution, he said. Now he claims he failed to confront terrorism on purpose. Because we can kill 'em tomorrow, he says.
Lopez: In sum, how many times did Bill Clinton lose bin Laden?
Miniter: Here's a rundown. The Clinton administration:
2. Shut the CIA out of the 1993 WTC bombing investigation, hamstringing their effort to capture bin Laden.
3. Had Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, a key bin Laden lieutenant, slip through their fingers in Qatar.
4. Did not militarily react to the al Qaeda bombing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
5. Did not accept the Sudanese offer to turn bin Laden.
6. Did not follow-up on another offer from Sudan through a private back channel.
7. Objected to Northern Alliance efforts to assassinate bin Laden in Afghanistan.
8. Decided against using special forces to take down bin Laden in Afghanistan.
9. Did not take an opportunity to take into custody two al Qaeda operatives involved in the East African embassy bombings. In another little scoop, I am able to show that Sudan arrested these two terrorists and offered them to the FBI. The Clinton administration declined to pick them up and they were later allowed to return to Pakistan.
10. Ordered an ineffectual, token missile strike against a Sudanese pharmaceutical factory.
11. Clumsily tipped off Pakistani officials sympathetic to bin Laden before a planned missile strike against bin Laden on August 20, 1998. Bin Laden left the camp with only minutes to spare.
12-14. Three times, Clinton hesitated or deferred in ordering missile strikes against bin Laden in 1999 and 2000.
15. When they finally launched and armed the Predator spy drone plane, which captured amazing live video images of bin Laden, the Clinton administration no longer had military assets in place to strike the archterrorist.
16. Did not order a retaliatory strike on bin Laden for the murderous attack on the USS Cole.
(AND WHAT ARE THOSE NEWS SERVICE PHOTOS OF BILL + HILLARY ABOUT, ANYWAY?)
The impeached ex-president was accepting an award named after his mentor, the late Sen. William Fulbright of Arkansas.
IS REUTERS SENDING A MESSAGE ABOUT A COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF HILLARY?
('Can we kill 'em tomorrow?')
FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU! FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME!
"In this interdependent world, we should still have a preference for peace over war,'' [clinton] said.

or the clintons to succeed, Bush must fail, which means America must lose THE WAR. NOTE: The clintons did fail to confront terrorism on purpose, but not for the reason stated.5 (Indeed, contrary to clinton's absurd argument, the clintons' feckless inaction (and feckless action, for that matter,) were precisely the sign of weakness that emboldened bin Laden and al Qaeda.1 Bin Laden told us so himself.
1. Did not follow-up on the attempted bombing of Aden marines in Yemen.
fyi
Yoi! ....... What a handsome transvestite ...... I'd vote for that/those con artists any time.

I actually would not separate "we will be able to kill them" from "we can wait to kill them." Notice my first two "no" responses were directly related to the ability to kill. The third possiblity is a situation where the prior question becomes moot. I did not describe a situation where the answer would be, "well, we will be able to kill them tomorrow, but we should kill today."

thx again :)
thanx :)
"They say spouses look more alike over time."
Are you sure that pictures edited? She looks better in that one than in her real photos.
Still looking for the audio and video.

Thank God you are not advising US policy.
Military strikes AGAINST the US have already begun, some say 20 years ago, but certainly in 1993 and beyond.
Why in the world would we say "can we wait till tomorrow" to take out somebody who has already killed untold Americans.
It gets only 'passing mention'. The public deserves a MAJOR STORY on exactly what happened--the players--Slick, Gore, FBI, CIA, State Dept (Madeleine Albright), NSC (Sandy Berger), Sudanese officials etc.
Why has there been no major story?
bttt
WHY THE CLINTONS FAILED "TO CAPTURE OR KILL THE TALLEST MAN IN AFGHANISTAN"
(DID THEY REALLY WANT TO TAKE HIM OUT ANYWAY?) (hear hillary, bill)
fyi
still looking for the audio or video. If anyone has found it, kindly FReepmail or post link. Thanx. :)
