I won't say it.....I just will not say it.....

[JediForce]

....White House intern Monica Lewinsky tried to tell President Bill Clinton that the CIA had called to tell him that they had Bin Laden in their grasp. The message was not heard by the President because Miss Lewinskys mouth was full at the time......

[Dog]

Janet Reno, then the attorney general, said an attack would break international law. Madeleine Albright, the secretary of state, is quoted as saying that "bombing Muslims wouldn't be helpful at this time".

Yeah Reno but you had no trouble killing 82 people in WACO....you b!tch!

[At _War_With_Liberals]

Tanks for WACO.

Full rights of American legal system for Bin Laden.


Any questions???

[Paul Atreides]

Normally, I feel bad for a person with Parkinson's Disease. In Janet's case, it is mighty difficult to do so.

Janet Reno, then the attorney general, said an attack would break international law. Madeleine Albright, the secretary of state, is quoted as saying that "bombing Muslims wouldn't be helpful at this time".

Doesn't international law support the killing of white non-Muslims on foregin soil with extra bonus points for those killed on US soil?

There can never be too many reasons why the clintons must never be back in the White House. This is no exception.

[D. Brian Carter]

Don't forget about the "aspirin factory", too.

"There can never be too many reasons why the clintons must never be back in the White House. This is no exception."

No exception, not ever!

[John Beresford Tipton]

Oh, she might be able to shake it.

[Dave Olson]

There was a time when an attack on a ship was considered an act of war. The Spanish American War began with an attack on the Maine. WWI began with an attack on the Lusitania. WWII began with the bombing of the ships in Pearl Harbor.

But in 2000, we got weasel words like "bombing Muslims wouldn't be helpful at this time" and "[the Cole attack] was not sufficiently provocative". Then again, I guess we couldn't expect much more from an administration that was made up of weasels.

[aynrandfreak]

To be fair, Clinton's schedule was very hectic at that time selling pardons.

[swilhelm73]

I remember, after out victory in Afghanistan arguing with liberals online.

They claimed that Gore would have done all the same things as president in relation to dealing with the terrorists.

The Clinton record proved otherwise. How many 9/11s would there have been before Gore could be impeached and removed from office?

[prairiebreeze]

Most controversially, the book quotes William Cohen, then the defence secretary, as saying the Cole attack "was not sufficiently provocative" and retaliation might cause trouble in Pakistan.

Mr Cohen was quoted by Robert Novak in yesterday's Washington Post as saying he did not recall the cabinet meeting in question, but "certainly regarded the Cole as a major provocation".

Back-pedal as hard and fast as you can Cohen. You won't out-run the swelling tide of evidence that your corrupt boss, his WINO (wife in name only), and his incompetent administration was directly and fully responsible for Sept. 11. May they all rot in their own filth.

Madeleine Albright, the secretary of state, is quoted as saying that "bombing Muslims wouldn't be helpful at this time".

I can just HEAR her saying this. It certainly sounds just like the arrogant maid.

[armymarinemom]

All I can say is Thank you Clinton you spinless serpent.

"Back-pedal as hard and fast as you can Cohen. "

Wasn't it also Cohen who vetoed heavy equipment going to Somalia and consequently was responsible for some of the casualties in 'Black Hawk Down?"

[Young Werther]

Hey...Give the guy some credit. The way he wiped out those terrorist kids in Waco are a testament to...Sarcasm Alert.

No, Les Aspin,, who did every $hi--y thing he could to the military as a congressman,Hope his death was agonizingly slow. He deserves a lower ring of Dante's nightmare .
