Apparently the mini series depicts Clinton as being too involved with the Monica scandal to act upon some key information about Bin Laden. Like Nero fiddling while Rome burned, Clinton was diddling while the country was in peril.

At the time, I didn't believe Monica was a distraction. Still don't. Instead, I believe bin Laden was the distraction.

Whenever the media heat got a little too hot, Clinton trotted out bin Laden and claimed he was some kind of super-criminal, of the type found only in comic books. I remember reasoning that bin Laden may not actually exist and was instead a fictitious concoction for political purposes.

Thus, I would contend that, in Clinton's world, bin Laden was actually the distraction...from Monica, et al.

He could just have been screwed one too many times by that pair. They don't treat their friends very well. Also, he has probably built a good career now being the go-to guy on all things Clinton.

My thought is that the enemy we are now fighting wanted to kill Salmon Rushdie (sp?) for having treated Muhammad in a fictional novel in a manner which offended them. What is the point of distinguishing yourself from the islamofascists if you are going to use political suasion to muffle the assertions contained in a docudrama? Right or wrong it would seem that if there can be no prior restraint of political speech - there certainly shouldn't be prior restraint (governmentally applied or privately applied) of dramatizations of recent and critical history.

Does Clinton condescend to the public to the extent he doesn't think we know he will have access to the Op-Ed page of the NYT immediately following the broadcast? If it has factual errors or distortions - he is free to argue his case - and has more opportunity than almost anyone in America given the media that services him.

The thing is, it will educate people about the MANY attacks by Bin Laden (and the Iranians) during the Clinton years. They did not get the coverage they needed at the time.

Bill Clinton kept his eye on only two balls. His own.

The Clintons and their pack of malignantly fawning kneepadded white flagging rights for terrorists have all banned together to make war on the First Amendment by imperiously demanding ABC blame September 11 on the Bush Administration.

Oh what an absolute joy to see these vile cockroaches swarm out of their dank caverns of deluded depravity with their eyes burning from fear of the shining light of TRUTH.

If only that were the case. Every Clinton-worshiping, flag-burning, Bush-hating, Christian & Jew-bashing, terrorist-sympathizing, communist in the USA (they're protected, y'know)will say it's a "drama"! It's not real! Rove and Rumsfeld engineered the whole thing!

Well, here's my view of it. Everyone has heard that Bush is to blame for every travesty of mankind under the sun. But Clinton's only public problem was Monica, at least in some people's eyes. If Clinton is blamed even partially for 9/11 people are going to want to know why.

Hopefully that will lead to Vince Foster and all the other problems he caused.

Lets stop beating around the Bush. The fact is that Clinton never had the balls to be President in the first place.

Oh his Jewels worked fine on interns and pardon seekers, on women who couldnt fight back . But when it came to making life and death decisions his Gonads shrank back into his belly like an ice pack had been applied.

This time Dick Morris has gone too far. Watch for the news of his 'accidental' death in a car crash in the next several months.

LOL. The Morris death will be sponsored by Ogrish.com: makers of family entertainment since 199x.

' if I had a crystal ball, I'd look into it to see what documents Sandy Berger destroyed from the National Archives"
Thats the key to it all right there. I gaurentee Berger stole doucments that would slam Klinon and himself as failing to do ANYTHING about OBL. I'd bet a years pay on it. Berger didnt take that BIG risk to steal a laundry list. I still don't know why Bush let him slide .

This is serious . The Dems are attempting to "cleanse" the truth as presented to a national audience. Me thinks they protest too much .This is Soviet style propaganda. If ABC edits the show there MUST me an outrage of epic proportions. We need to capitalize on this . This could make Madame Klinton look bad .

A second time, we did fire missiles but alerted the Pakistani military to our plans and they tipped off bin Laden, and he escaped."

I missed that little tidbit...

It may increase interest but I wonder how many minds it will change.

Some of my co-workers are already calling this right-wing propaganda since "Massa Bill" has pronounced it as such.

But they will suck up every drop of pig-vomit that Michael Moore spews out as Gospel.

Now THIS is a subject on which Morris is credible and his analysis should be accepted for discussion at least.

I've stated repeatedly I'm not afraid of the Clinton's. I don't obsess about them, and I certainly don't fear them.

I pity them. I disrespect them. I'm filled with disgust at what they do. Fear? Not even close.

At root what they are attempting is horrific, except, it's par for course for the Clinton's. The difference is that this isn't 1998. Even if it were, they were fairly lousy even then at a real cover up. And I've never understood why some conservatives almost hold their political skills in near awe.

The Clinton's drove me away from the Dem party. Well, them and those that excused what they did. It makes it difficult for me to hear of the myth of their political skills when they only succeeded in driving people like myself away in great number.

The Clinton's were a creation of the media, weak Republican challenger ('96), broken promise ('92) and as a result of the office the power of the presidency.

The W.H. has been stripped from them.

Rush still exists, but he has back up now.

I don't intend to allow someone like McCain to get through the primary giving them another chance IF she could even get her party's nomination. Others join me in that sentiment.

That leaves residual loyaties of the MSM and IOU's they keep cashing on foolish expenditures such as this. And in process everyone they come in contact with once again, and they themselves, look worse then if they'd just left the series alone.

Political genuises they are not. And now they've just tagged their entire party, once again, with their depravity right before the fall elections. Karl Rove couldn't have orchestrated it any better you nitwits.
