Were they going to use the Fembots deployed by Dr Evil in the first Austin Powers movie?

That might have worked if they would have made a fat one...

Why do I think that when they examine the letterhead on those papers they will find the phrase
"From the Desk of William Clinton"?

Too bad they weren't successful. Just exercising my First Amendment rights here and stating my opinion.

This is just a propoganda ploy designed to get on the good side of the Bush and the GOP.

Not that I am cynical - but what better news (for Bill Clinton) could appear at this moment in time as Bill Clinton is actively trying to improve his legacy?

"and there were plans for another attempt on Clinton during a golf tournament."

There would have been several opportunities in this case. I figure it would have been better for the terrorists to keep him alive and on the golf course.

We've already heard news stories about a possible attack on a celebrity golf event, but Clinton was never mentioned in connection with that.

I will have to agree with a number of others that this probably was generated by Clinton to enhance his legacy, of which he does not have.

Horse***t! What were they gonna do?

Give him STD's by oral sex? He prolly already has worse than they could give him. For proof, just take a look at James carbilly or his Sin wife.

Bullhockeydoo.

Well, I did find info on one official golf "tournament" that Clinton attended. It was a tournament to honor the USSCole victims. Look at what Clinton said, as he opened the tournament...proof again, (if we needed it), of how he dishonored and disrespected the military. Read what the assholesaid:

"18 October 2000
"Clinton Remarks on USS Cole at President's Cup 2000

President Clinton late October 18 officially opened the President's Cup 2000 golf tournament by paying tribute to the 17 American soldiers that were killed in the bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen October 12.

Clinton thanked U.S. team captain Ken Venturi and his team members for wearing black arm bands all this week in honor of those who perished aboard the USS Cole. "Like the golfers here, they came from many different ethnic and religious backgrounds," the President said. "Like you, they stood for our common humanity and those who want to build a world where we bridge our differences and celebrate our diversity."

What a bunch of PC mumbo-jumbo, Hillary BS, gobbledeegook!! Clinton sucked as Commander in Chief...Big Time!!

Oh God - then he would be a martyr for all time. I think I'd rather have him alive making a fool out of himself.
