To Be Continued..

Bump
Ditto, that's my take on the broadcast version too.
I think I like the change....
No--it's not just you! The original reference to the Republicans would have deflected a lot of anger in their direction; the edited version points it full bore at Clinton!
So far it seems to me that Clarke is being treated rather kindly.....
Tenet might have something to say....this could get interesting....how many times did he meet with Cinton?
No matter what was edited out of this, I believe the message is perfectly clear and whatever minor adjustments were or weren't made are trivia given some passage of time. In many ways, we should realize that the toning-down of direct personal blame against the Clinton-Albright-Berger troika will allow folks who watch this the opportunity to come up with their OWN conclusions. And that, as we say in sales, is usually a more powerful motivator.
The message (to me) is succinct: On WHOMEVER's watch it was back then; Nobody (other than a very few John O'Neill types) was taking it (the terrorist threat) seriously. Nobody put this scourge above their careers. Klinton: his career and legacy were more important. Berger and Albright, same story. These were the indecisive idiots who got played by their own PC mindset.
If that miserable stuck-up b**ch Madame Maddy gave away an OBL attack plan to the Pakis, so be it. It was the right thing to do. It was "our only choice". It might have been construed as..."
If Berger the thief couldn't muster the conscience to kill a few tribal women & children to take out OBL, it was the right thing to do. It was "our only choice".
For my money, these two were quite adequately portrayed as putzette and putz.
As portrayed, Tenet was hawkish on taking out Bin Laden and obstructed at every turn by Albright and Berger. I don't know if that's accurate or inaccurate.
There was, however, a fairly clear hierarchy of hawkishness portrayed, which I think was pretty darn accurate according to everything I've read. And starting at the top, with that embarassment of a CIC in charge, a ton of damage was done by PC thinking and worrying about the rights of fanatical, vicious killers. Regardless of who is or was at fault, if that is the lesson learned, I think part I was pretty damn good.
For sure.
Wow! You sure made it easy to judge the "Most Uneducated Post of The Month" contest.
If your drift is that the Democrats should have been careful about what they wished for (in cuts by ABC), I agree with you totally. That scene was absolutly wonderful as reedited!
I think that several scenes could have hardly been more damaging to the Clinton admisistration - portrayed as feckless, constipated by decision making, and unserious about being at war with killers America citizens !!
Only because Clinton couldn't argue that it didn't happen like that. Hee hee.
Stop being such a jerk.
Yeah, but I'm not sure who it helps. Clinton goes from looking distracted by those mean Republicans, to looking like a coward who won't take responsibility for his own actions.
Not exactly a rehabilitative edit.
Totally agree!
How many radical mosques are in North Korea?
Did he have the cutest smile or what?
"Nero FIDDLED
Clinton BLEW"
Monica BLEW.
That was tooooo easy.
Correct. I caught that too. Walhberg just hangs his head in embarrasment.
