You are correct, and his talent for aggressive rapid fire speech, aimed mostly at supporters, has used this diversion-from-reality technique for his entire presidency. The sycophantic media never once said "hey, wait a minute. You said x, now you are saying y."
the impeached one doth protest too much!!!
he relies and quotes Richard Clark and the 9/11 commission report...both state that he didn't do squat and that he treated the first WT Tower bombings as a criminal event!...now he wants the world to believe that he was gung ho and wanted to kill bin laden...when he really was more concerned with Monica under his desk!
this impeached liar is trying to reclaim, white wash and polish up his legacy..."but that all depends on what is is!"
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.
