Stand by Cyrus! (And ABC)

ttp://www.JewishWorldReview.com | It must be understood that the outcries over "The Path to 9/11," penned and produced by Cyrus Nowrasteh — a contributor to JWR's sister site Political Mavens — have much to do with this being the first time that Bill Clinton has found himself on the wrong side of Hollywood's creative pen. "Wrong" in this case meaning not the flattering or sycophantic treatment he's come to take for granted from the entertainment community.

If history will find fault with "Path," it will be that it lets the Clinton administration off easy, hardly scratching the surface of the aggressive non-vigilance, the willful incompetence and outright contempt for matters of national security that the frat party running the country for eight years displayed. Between focusing almost exclusively on domestic pandering priorities, and fixating on the Palestinian-Israeli brokering that brought us to Intifadah 2 (plus making a last-ditch attempt at a legacy by bombing Europe), only Jimmy Carter outdid that administration in castrating the country's security and intelligence apparatuses, tying America's hands behind her back and having a cavalier overall attitude toward matters of security.

Recall the time that President-elect Clinton came to Washington in 1992 to meet with the House Democratic chairmen, and future 9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton said, "Well, Mr. President, we have China. Whatever you do on China, you're only going to please half the people. Then, there's Saddam Hussein—" Clinton cut him off and answered, "Lee, I've been traveling around our country for a year and no one cares about foreign policy other than about six journalists."

Slick Willy's code words meaning, he was eyeing white house interns to chase, that was of more importance then the discussion at hand.
