The scene between Clarke and O'Neill may have been fictional, but the content of the scene was authentic.

Clinton was disengaged due to Monicagate. No one can deny that.

disengaged due to Monicagate

That's the kindest interpretation.

[massgopguy]

Bill Clinton was disengagged from terror's real threat before he ever met Monica.

[OldFriend]

So, in your opinion, the 93 terror attack on the WTC was ignored because of monica?

Y'all just don't get it, do you?

If Clinton was distracted during l'affaire Lewinsky, it was the Republicans' fault. He was multitasking along just fine until we decided to impeach him for something stupid.

If we hadn't done that, he'd have stayed totally focused and on point.

It's all our fault, and it looks like y'all both have some serious soul-searching to do so you can realize that too.

I will.

He wasn't disengaged at all. From what we know, the issue of islamic terrorism was known all too well to the Clinton White House. He refused to confront it, not because he was distracted by Lewinskygate, but because he is a feckless human being, without a shred of character or integrity. Confronting terrorism in a meaningful way would make some percentage of the population not like him, and someone so in need of the approval of others could not stand that.

ABC should run clip after clip of Clinton saying "I need to get back to doing the business of the people".

If he was doing the business of the people, then he was lying.

"Are there no men in Washington, or are they all cowards?"

Actually that line was said by the Afghani head of the Northern Alliance - much more powerful coming from him. It showed that if he could get it, then so could Bin Laden, that they were fighting with Washington Windbags.

I am amused that Clinton (documented perjurer who questions the meaning of "is") and Sandy Bergler (convicted document stealer of classifed papers that proves their complicity in doing nothing) yell Foul - they simply can't stand anything resembling truth about their years in the White House! Why should we care about Liars Protesting that their Lies are ignored? They put my life in danger, and my country on the ropes. I thought the ABC movie went easy on these guys. It could have been a lot worse. Why isn't Buzz Patterson on all the talking heads' shows???? He was there. He saw it all. Dereliction of Duty laid it all out.

Your statement sounds too much like Dan Rather's, inaccurate but true remark. I think that you mean to say that the scene was a fictionalized, composite of actual occurrences.
