Clinton calls terror a U.S. debt to past

With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Clinton was handed an incredible opportunity; literally a once in a lifetime world history tipping point, the world on a silver platter.

What'd he do?

Gays in the military, a revulsion to national security and ignoring the CIA.

He missed the boat. As Condi said, the Clinton administration was marked by a determination to not have any kind of coherent or for that matter, even a relatively incoherent strategy towards the newly evolving world.

They shrank and cowered from their opportunity and responsibility, preferring the banalities of Fukuyama and Friedman while storm clouds gathered and threats manifested themselves lethally.

Yes, only 12 Americans died in the Kenya embassy bombing, but hundreds of Kenyans died too. As one co-worker told (prime case of anal cranial inversion), those attacks didn't matter since only a dozen Yanquis died and to hell with the Kenyans. He's since joined the seminary!

Even the attack upon the USS Cole failed to wake up Clinton.

Yep! You got that right!

Did you post this just to make me feel ill? What a pitiful caricature Clinton has become. "Hey, everybody, look at me I matter but it wasn't me who turned a blind eye to terror because we are the terrorists.

"The American public," the Hoya said in a 1998 editorial, "has forgotten that international and domestic terrorism requires a proactive defense plan. Terrorists must be caught before they strike, and we must remember that those strikes always come when our head is turned toward other matters."

Well, the Hoya was pretty prescient.

As for Bill, it's amazing that 9/11 made no impression on him, and he's still out there chanting the same tired line spewed by aging liberals everywhere. Of course, that's what he is, an aging liberal, so I guess I shouldn't be suprised.
