"But speaking of America's orally-fixated ex-president, the Clinton presidency unadmirably demonstrates all the wishful thinking, procrastination and irresponsibility involved in depending on diplomats to "negotiate" the pages and pages of high-fallutin' hot air called "international agreements" these days, as well as the dire consequences of such foreign-policy sophistry."

This guy doesn't give Clinton sufficient credit. Anyone who believes that Clinton, the lying master of realpolitik, did not know that he was kicking real problems down the road to build and explode on someone else is a moron. Clinton was not merely engaging in wishful thinking and innocent procrastination. He was more than irresponsible; he knew that ultimately the issues that he was kicking down the road with the phony deals he had with North Korea, the idle threats and impotent gestures he made at bin Laden and his refusal to accept bin Laden when offered to him on a silver platter, and the worthless promices of the Palestinians that he forced on Israel would return with vengence on someone else's watch and at someone else's expense.

Clinton is not stupid; he is malicious. He understood the "dire consequences of such foreign-policy sophistry". He not only engaged in such sophistry he wallowed in it and spewed it. Twice Clinton placed his hand on the Bible and swore to defend this Counrty against enemies, foreign and domestic. He took that oath no more seriously than he did the oath to tell the truth that he took in the Paula Jones deposition. As far as I am concerned Clinton was an accessory before the fact in the murder of 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001 and the murder of many Israelies.

This guy may be apt in describing Jimmy Carter,who any thinking person knows is a fool, but he ignores the malice of the knave we had as our last president.

A very accurate observation. Now that it is clearly apparent that Clinton's appeasements failed, he is being let off the hook as just another starry-eyed idealist. In reality, he was a cynical, ego-obsessed man who had absolutely no concern for his country, and knew perfectly well that his agreements were going to imperil that country somewhere down the line.

Well put, THE Clinton legacy.
