Deep down Clinton wishes 9/11 had happened when he was President.
Clinton SAID he wished 9/11'd happened on his watch. Out LOUD, on the air.
Not even deep down, he or one of his administration said it.
Bush did a good job on this, but someone should be pointing fingers at Clinton for trying to censor a tv program because Clinton didn't like the content. The Clinton bunch has come about as close as possible to announcing that only the truth as they see it will be published when the marxists, I mean democrats, come to power.
Bush handled this just right.
The rest of us can comment on the Klintoon's meltdown just fine.
Remember the Slickster hangin' around Ground Zero after 9-11, just looking for someone to comfort? He was apparently walking up and hugging everybody in an ateempt to be part of it. I guess he'd appointed himself Comforter in Chief as he could no longer be Commander in Chief. Probably got in a cheap feel or two while he was at it....
If 9/11 had happened while the Rats were in charge:
-- we would STILL be at the UN trying to convince the Russians and the Chinese to agree to sanctions on the Taliban government of Afghanistan.
-- European groups and US leftists would be protesting in the streets that the sanctions on Afghanistan would lead to the deaths of many Afghan children.
--The sanctions would prove ineffective anyway, since Afghanistan does not have a modern economy and much of Afghanistan's economy is based on illicit trading of the opiate harvest.
--The administration would be trying to get indictments against bin Laden and the Taliban in the US Federal Court in SDNY. The Taliban will claim they are innocent since the hijackers were Saudis.
--Europeans would demand that the Americans make their case against the Taliban and bin Laden in the International Criminal Court in the Hague, Netherlands. There would be a lengthy debate in the US between left and right about whether to do so.
--Sanctions against Iraq would finally be lifted at the insistence of the Russians and the Chinese, and with the support of European and US leftist public opinion on the grounds that Iraqi children are the ones paying the price. After France pulls out of the No-Fly patrols, Britain eventually does as well, and then US then throws in the towel. Saddam would restart his WMD programs.
That's probably true.
He had his opportunity, it was OKC.
We all wish it had never happened, but Thank God it didn't happen on his watch. He'd still be waiting for the CIA and FBI to certify bin Laden was behind it, and even then he wouldn't have done anything.
I do believe at some point he actually said that out loud.
