What do you mean by "another investigation"? I'm not aware of ANY investigations Janet Ashcroft undertook to lock up ANY of the Clinton bunch. In fact,Bubba Bush has now stepped in and used a Executive Order to keep anybody else from doing this,too.
They were in office for WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam...., [perhaps throw in the almost WWIII- Cuba]
Seems they're not very good at prevention? Or maybe projecting strength, ala Eisenhower/Reagan/Bush/Bush.
Had George Will written Sleaze, the sequel (the "sequel" is, of course, hillary) after 9-11-01, I suspect that he would have had to forgo the above conceit, as the doubt expressed in the setup phrase was, from that day forward, no longer operational. Indeed, assessing the clinton presidency an abject failure is not inconsistent with commentary coming from the left, most recently the LA Times: "Clinton Let Bin Laden Slip Away and Metastasize." When the clintons left office, I predicted that the country would eventually learn--sadly, the hard way--that this depraved, self-absorbed and inept pair had placed America (and the world) in mortal danger. But I was thinking years, not months. It is very significant that hillary clinton didn't deny clinton culpability for the terrorism. (Meet the Press, 12-09-01), notwithstanding tired tactics (if you can't pass the buck, spread the blame) and chronic self-exclusion. ("I knew nuttin'.") If leftist pandering keeps the disenfranchized down by design, clinton pandering,("it's the economy, stupid"), kept the middle and upper classes wilfully ignorant for eight years. And ironically, both results (leftist social policy and the clinton economy) are equally illusory, fraudulent. It is becoming increasingly clear that clinton assiduously avoided essential actions that would have negatively impacted the economy--the ultimate source of his continued power--actions like, say, going after the terrorists. It is critically important that hillary clinton fail in her grasp for power; read Peggy Noonan's little book, 'The Case Against Hillary Clinton' and Barbara Olson's two books; it is critical that the West de-clintonize, but that will be automatic once it is understood that the clintons risked civilization itself in order to gain and retain power. It shouldn't take books, however, to see that a leader is a dangerous, self-absorbed sicko. People should be able to figure that out for themselves. The electorate must be taught to think, to reason. It must be able to spot spin, especially in this age of the electronic demagogue. I am not hopeful. As Bertrand Russell noted, "Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so. "

In this light, Clinton's order to the CIA that it not use "unsavory characters" to collect information pushes irony to its outer limits. |
Also:
"Has that clinton "legacy" made you feel safer yet?"
The Holiday *Best* of Bill Clinton & his Friends!
-clintonism in one easy lesson--
-"until clintonese is spoken only in Hell!"--
Hillary! and Arafat's wife-
The deluge of damage control has begun and will continue in their time honored tradition. I'm wondering if character assassination will be far behind, also in tradition. Fortunately, their hold on the press is weakening and the effectiveness of the counter spin is limited.
Many thanks to whoever flagged this in my direction.
The difference between the two administrations in brief could be: Political Expediency and/or Political Advantage (CLINTOON) versus the very simple philosophy of Doing what's Right for America. (President George W. Bush)
Absolute BS...the democrats and their media mouthpiece Gellman have no shame when it comes to re-writing history!
Lets see now had the USA engaged in the same type operation we are doing now immediately after the WTC bombing, after the African Emabssy bombings, after the USS Cole bombing we would be in the final stages of mop up of Al Qaeda in the last country or two holding Al Qaefa cells instead of mopping up the first target in a long string of targets.
Clearly the short answer is no. Of course WJC would have been more than willing to issue pardons had enough cash been donated to his library or wife's political campaign.
Stay well - stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
The odds that it would fall on that day are exactly 731-1. Strange coincidence, isnt' it?
Also, it's a shame that Bin Laden was 500 miles away from the camps in Afghanistan at the time, and thousands of miles away from the innocent aspirin factory in the Sudan. I guess accuracy wasn't as important as headlines that day.
"We consumed all the intelligence we had," Albright said.
But my intelligence was really only equal to a lima bean, so we ordered pizza.
"It's so easy to finger-point.”
Yeah, at the guilty.
“We tried everything we could, everything we could."
Sad thing is, I believe her. She did everything she possibly could, which was never much beyond shopping in foreign countries and getting mistook for the maid.
She was the highest ranking dingbat old lady in American history, missing out on her true destiny as the neighborhood cat lady.
More lies and Bovine Fertilizer from the former molester-in-chief and his crowd of pathological liars.
Would the attacks of 9/11 have happened, had President Clinton been up to the job with which he was entrusted?
NO.
