I just hope this book gets the press it deserves.

This book will get the press it deserves, but only if Americans who cherish their freedom and security go out and buy this book. One or two million sold copies will destroy the Clintons and send those vermin traitors and their treasonous Democrat Party back into the black hole from whence they came. Just think of all the American blood spilled becasue Bill Clinton was too wrapped up with Monica Lewinsky to protect America and Americans. He should be tarred and feathered publicly and than dispatched with a sentance doled out to traitors! America, you better wake up. The whole Democrat Party needs to be destroyed at the ballot box!

Madeleine Albright, Secretary of Defense William Cohen, Atty. Gen. Janet Reno and CIA Director George Tenet all said no to the attack.

Coulter nailed it; they are gutless, cowardly and incapable of leadership to the end!

When I saw there would be no response to speak of on the part of America to the Cole bombing I threw my hands in the air and actually said out loud "that's it, when they can stike at and kill your people like this and you do nothing then you're DEAD. In 11 months, on my birthday as it happens, we found out exactly what would happen. And make no mistake we got on our knees and begged these animal followers of the bogus prophet to whack us good!

Atty. Gen. Reno, told by the FBI that the terrorists were still unidentified, argued that retaliation violated international law.

They should have been identified as Christian wackos so Reno would ok sending in napalm strikes.

Where is the picture of Clinton playing the sax while the Twin Towers burn?

The real reason Clinton refused to meet with his first CIA director

I'm curious about this one in particular. I believe Woolsey got two or three meetings during his entire tenure as Director.

When some nutball crashed his Cessna onto the WH lawn, the joke was "That was Jim Woolsey trying to get an appointment."

Now, now, now... all you tin-foil hatted lunatics, I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for all these charges against the Clintons...

Why Clinton even refused to receive Sudan's vital intelligence files on bin Laden's network... hey, Bubba was busy having phone-sex!

The real reason Clinton refused to meet with his first CIA director... I bet he refused to pay the $50K campaign contribution requested for every meeting with Bubba.

How Clinton ignored intelligence and offers of cooperation against bin Laden from Afghanistan's Northern Alliance... hey, there were Interns to diddle! What do you expect?!

Drawn from secret Sudanese intelligence files: bin Laden's role in shooting down America's Black Hawk helicopters in Mogadishu, Somalia -- and how Clinton manipulated the news media to keep the worst off America's TV screens.... Oh, c'mon! That's the old canard of the liberal bias in the media... Joe Conasen and Al Franken have cut down all these arguments...

How Clinton's top officials first learned about bin Laden -- but did nothing ... These people had other priorities, such as backing up Bubba in his time of need with their "I believe the President" claims after the one and only cabinet meeting in 1998. After all, one has to have priorities.

Hindsight is 20/20, of course. However, Al Qaeda attacked us several times over the course of a decade, all throughout Clinton's two terms in office. The Cole bombing was not an isolated incident.

And that's the point. The fact is, the kindest way to describe the Clinton administration's response to Al Qaeda is "incompetent".

But I think "treacherous" is much closer to the mark. Let the truth be known!

Yeah, America really needed a good president back then. Too bad we didn't elect one.

America better think again about whether it only was about sex and if sex is not an indulgent behaviors and structured life of hedonism when fighting terror is needed.

Sadly, I saw Woolsey repeat that joke on Fox News within the past couple of months. I will say though, he certainly wasn't laughing about it.

Revealed for the first time: how Clinton and a Democratic Senator stopped the CIA from hiring Arabic translators -- while phone intercepts from bin Laden remained untranslated.

I'm wondering if the above mentioned Democratic Senator (underlined in the article) is Mrs. Clinton.

Anyone have posting privileges over at DU? Maybe they would be interested in reading about this new book about their idols.

Heck, they're all over here this morning, so they have gotten their "heads-up."

(Or maybe "heads-out.")

Secretary of State Albright stated the attackers of the Cole should not be targeted for a strike because of their religion, they were Muslim just like the Israeli Jews (Palestinians). I find this amazing! Everytime she opens her mouth, she says something non-sensical. Some one tell me why Bill Clinton gets a pass on all things? The Rosenburgs didn't and they did less.

Voters such as I gave our vote to Ross Perot which allowed the career criminal, sell out to the Chi-Coms traitor to win the election with only 43% of the vote. Never again from me!

Why didn't Bush get us ready to attack Afghanistan for the Cole bombing as soon as he was inaugurated?
