At first glace I was thinking, no way could someone with Borderline Personality Disorder get so high into leadership positions! But the truth is, everything she is was "gotten" for her from the cabal. She doesn't have an original idea in her head, nor could she ever win a fair election (with an opponent). And we may never yet have seen BPD combined with megalomania before. It may be a unique combination.
But the two of them combined are like glue, I agree. They need each other to keep on their crooked paths to power.
What I remember is that looooooooooonnnnngggggg walk of Hill and Billery with Buddy, er, sorry, Chelsea in between them to the Marine helicopter leaving for Martha's Vineyard after he was on tv saying that he'd "misled" the American people and even his wife. ("Lied" isn't part of his vocabulary when it applies to him, apparently.) Then all of a sudden, he's back at the White House bombing, I think, the aspirin factory. I remember thinking, dang!! He'll do anything to get away from Hillary at this point. At any rate, I think he's pooped in his hat with this Chris Wallace interview. He distorted facts once again as an excuse to make himself look better. He's only perpetuated his lack of backbone in the whole matter and brought it once again into the public eye. It's all over the news today and FOX is supposed to running the entire interview again tonight.
Can't argue anything you said.

AN ANALYSIS
Why Clinton Bombed the Serbs - A National Disgrace Few American Even Know Nor Care About
by Stella L. Jatras
1. To appease the Islamic world for our daily bombing of Iraq. President Clinton wanted to prove to the Muslim world that we really cared and that we were willing to destroy a Christian people to prove it.
2. The Saudis wanted the first Islamic country in the belly of Europe, and Clinton wanted cheap oil and Saudi money. The Saudis had signed a letter of intent to buy $6 billion worth of Boeing aircraft. The day after we bombed the Serbs in 1995 based on the self-inflicted Markale market place massacre by Bosnian Muslim forces, the Saudis signed on the dotted line. A coincidence? I don't think so. This is what Yossef Bodansky, author of "Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America," had to say in his 1995 book, "Offensive in the Balkans:"
- "Phase Three started with the self-inflicted major terrorist provocation. On Friday 5, 1994, a major explosion rocked the Markale -- Sarajevo's main market place -- causing heavy casualties. What was immediately described as the ubiquitous "Serb mortar shell" was actually a special charge designed and built with help from HizbAllah experts and then most likely dropped from a nearby rooftop onto the crowd of shoppers. Video cameras at the ready recorded this expertly-staged spectacle of gore, while dozens of corpses of Bosnian Muslim troops killed in action (exchanged the day before in a 'body swap' with the Serbs) were paraded in front of cameras to raise the casualty count.
- "This callous self-killing was designed to shock the West especially sentimental and gullible Washington, in order to raise the level of Western sympathy to the Bosnian Muslims and further demonize the Serbs so that Western governments would be more supportive of Sarajevo's forthcoming aggressive moves, and perhaps even finally intervene military."
There were other reports from European newspapers such as The [London] Sunday Times," with headlines that read, "Serbs 'not guilty' of massacre, Experts warned US that mortar was Bosnian" (1 Oct. 1995), and "US Framed Serbs for Market Bombing," from the Stoneyhill Center, a British think tank (Oct 1995). No such headlines appeared in US national newspapers.
3. Clinton needed a new mission for NATO. The Soviet Union had collapsed and if you recall, the NATO Treaty was a collective security agreement between member nations that if one NATO nation were attacked by the Soviet Union (CCCP), other NATO members would go to its defense. In violation of International law, the NATO Treaty, the UN Charter and without the approval of Congress, Clinton and his administration, along with Serb-hating Madeline Albright, Wesley Clark, Richard Holbrooke and the rest of the Clinton gang, bombed tiny Yugoslavia that did not attack us or any NATO nation, was never a threat to us, nor did it have weapons of mass destruction.
One graphic example of Madeleine Albright's animosity towards the Serbs was the time she was entering the United Nations building as US ambassador and a Serb called out and asked why she was doing these terrible things to the Serbs. She answered, "Because they deserve it!" A more humorous account regarding Ms. Albright is the story of how the war in the Balkans really began. During a meeting of Madeleine Albright with the all-male NATO ministers, she asked the question, "Well gentleman, do we make love or do we make war?" Of course, the answer was unanimously for war.
4. Clinton couldn't let this pip-squeak of a nation defy The New World Order.
5. Our wag-the-dog president had to have a diversion from his affair in the Oval Office with a woman young enough to be his daughter.
6. Clinton also needed a war to prove he was a wartime president in the mold of FDR in order to put to rest his draft-dodging days and his contempt for the US military. The propaganda against the Serbian people has not been equalled since Hitler's Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, said, "If you tell a big enough lie and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." In civil wars all sides do terrible things, but in this war all blame fell on the Serbs. President Clinton was (and continues to be) the biggest con artist this nation has ever seen and it is unfortunate that the American people believed every word uttered by him regarding the events in the Balkans even though over 75% of the American people believed him to be a liar. The fate of the Serbs from Bosnia to Kosovo was sealed.
It is a sad reflection on all Americans what William Jefferson Clinton did to the Serbian people in our name. Sadder still is the realization that if he were able to run for president again he might very well be elected.
None-the-less, his obsession for OBL is blatant BS, based on his actions, imho, and apparently in the opinion of several others that served in or near his administration at the time.
I wondered the same thing regarding his comments about conservatives and Bin Laden. I think you are right, he is mixing historical eents to shape his legacy. But why didn't Wallace call him on it?
From The World Almanac 1999, page 65 (Chronology, October 1998, International):
...The United States, Oct. 8, informed Milosevic that his "cosmetic gestures" would not prevent NATO air strikes...On Oct. 26, just one day before threatened NATO air strikes were to begin, Serbian soldiers and police began a significant pullback from their positions in Kosovo...
In all fairness to Chris, he had to be the "polite journalist" and respect the office. Clinton took advantage of the situation. And it would have turned into a shouting match. When you are an interviewer trying to keep your subject at bay, keep your thougghts at bay, and you have an unglued subject, keeping your own temper at bay is hard enough as it is. Digging into political history is the last thing on your mind. The guy didn't have google or a FR database in front of him. Afterall I think we all have been in tense debates with insane liberals and walked away thinking (oh $%$E%#! I forgot to say this and that!!!)
Thank you for the sources. It is always better to have the facts. You must be one of the best researchers out there. I can't tell you how many times I am looking for information or links and I find exactly what I need in one of your posts. Thanks for all the great info.
I haven't run across anyone more self-absorbed than the both of them are.

BLAME VAST RIGHT WING REPUBLICANS....
"Graphics needs 3 pro clinton emails and 3 anti clinton emails in 2 mintues PRONTO!"
You are welcome ga medic. Facts are our and our childrens friends! :)
And we all know Wallace is NOT A CONSERVATIVE!
Wasn't the wag the dog moment the firing of a missle into a pharmaceutical factory? My memory may be failing.
I guess because he is the de facto leader of the demon rats.
