I will give Bush the same advice I give politicians here in Israel - HAUL HIS ASS INTO COURT AND SUE HIM!

These things we tend to laugh at, but if are not taken care of, come back years later to haunt us.

It seems as though Yossi Beilen and Shimon Peres have been giving Clinton lessons on how to exploit the masses.

In the name of Israel, I apologize!

Secretary of Defense Les Aspin resigned two months after Somalia, having acknowledged that his decision on the armor had been an error.

Aspin was a lousy Secretary of Defense but at least he took responsibility by resigning. Janet Reno said she took full responsibility for the Waco debacle but she didn't take the step for showing responsibility by resigning. Most recently, Bob Torricelli said he took responsibility for taking (and lying about) illegal gifts. He made it sound that by merely saying that he was taking responsibilty (but taking no actions) was a meritorious thing. And of course, Clinton, won't even take responsibility for anything. He just shuffles it off on others...such as Bush1.

I believe it was also Mister Joyce who told Clinton to his face in a visit to the White House that he was a disgrace to this country.

I believe it was Corporal Jamie Smith's dad who told Clinton that...to which the rapist replied: *I didn't kill your kid*.

I wish I had a dime for each time Clinton and his administration referred to the last twelve years during his first years in office.

Thanks for the "re" post. This should be mandatory reading for all Americans. Xlinton should have been court martialed for his failure to provide proper support for the troops that he (the first Draft Dodger in history to be CINC) left twisting in the wind.

No! No! Don't you LISTEN to Clinton? He actually told that to Bush.

Responding to Bush Administration suggestions that some of today's corporate scandals first got out of hand under his watch, Mr. Clinton recently shot back: "These people ran on responsibility, but as soon as you scratch them they go straight to blame. Now, you know, I didn't blame his [President Bush's] father for Somalia when we had that awful day memorialized in 'Black Hawk Down.' I didn't do that."

After reading this a couple of weeks ago I was outraged so I decided to watch 'Black Hawk Down' to see what kind of blame was bestowed on the 'toon and his admin.

Out of the entire movie, some 2 hrs., there was ONE line that said, Washington in their wisdom does not see fit to send the requested equipment." Clintoon's name was not mentioned once.

Just keeping on flapping your gums you scum sucking bastard, you only expose yourself for the lying reprobate that you are with every utterance.

[Clinton Administration] Secretary of Defense Les Aspin resigned two months after Somalia, having acknowledged that his decision on the armor had been an error. A 1994 Senate Armed Services Committee investigation reached the same conclusion.

". . . I didn't blame his [President Bush's] father for Somalia when we had that awful day memorialized in 'Black Hawk Down.' I didn't do that."

No, obviously you couldn't--then. But you seem to think you can insinuate that now.

Here's a good question for the next Democratic presidential candidate:
Who was the last good Democratic Secretary of Defense?
Cohen was a Republican, they can't say him . . .
Aspen resigned in disgrace, can't say him . . .

Who can remember Jimmy Carter's SecDef???
Would they dare name McNamara???

MOGADISHU

Like hell, he didn't! He might as well have pulled the trigger himself except that he's too much of a coward to have even done that.

But we all know anyway who was responsible and its clear that ze Klinton did'nt do anything to stop terrorism during his term in office.

I must admit that I was surprised by the man's gall - especially when he made those comments four months AFTER Master Sergeant Gary I. Gordon's GPS unit was found in one of the caves that those al-Qaida punks were hiding in.

BTTT for the truth. If only the talking heads set the record straight. I saw Clintoon's clip on Meet the Distressed and didn't see Timmy Boy set the record straight. Shame on you Tim.

I hadn't read that. Do you have a source I can see?
