Amazing how Clinton's apologists never use the precise quote in their contention that Clinton didn't say what he was reported to say. Or that it didn't mean what it appeared to mean.
Just another case of confusion about the meaning of "is", I suppose...
The lie that "we are all terrorists" undercuts America's moral superiority to the terrorists who attacked us without provocation. This is exactly what the Taliban and bin Laden say to justify their murderous acts. So Bill Clinton's speech was almost as bad as saying outright that we deserved it.
Lyons also fails to mention that while one columnist for National Review Online took the tack that the Washington Times did, the editorial board of the magazine refuted that interpretation. Of course, if he points that out, he'd be an honest writer -- which everyone on this forum knows he is not.
He admits the truth in the middle of his denial?!?
