"President Clinton appeared to be satisfied to allow his new standup Justice Department chief to take the lion's share of the blame for the affair. A brief written statement was released by the White House that had the effect of placing the ultimate responsibility for the decision on her shoulders. "I knew it was going to be done, but the decisions were entirely hers" he said.
Speculations began to drift through Washington and into the press about the possibility of the AG resigning.
Snip....
Twently four hours after the fire, Clinton at last stepped out from behind the AG's skirts. He announced during a press conference in the Rose Garden that he was calling for a full investigation. This time after a bit of dodging and weaving, the president accepted full responsibility for the raid.
Snip
"Well, what I am saying is that I didn't have a four or five hour detailed briefing from the FBI. I didn't go over every strategic part of it. It is a decision for which I take responsibility. .......I gave her the authority to make the last call."
When asked if The AG's job was in jeopardy, he came out firmly in her defense. "I was frankly, surprised would be a mild word, to that anyone would suggest the attorney general should resign because a bunch of religious fanatics murdered themselves."
And the LOGIC is be careful about the OUTRAGE for it may come back to bite your PARTY. How long before the GOP starts it's attack machine asking the American people why are our MP's being HELD to a HIGHER STANDARD than the Democrat Party NOMINEE for POTUS??
She just barks out orders: Off With His Head (Rummy) after seeing, pictures which may be obscene BUT NOT MURDEROUS. (In fact, librarians across the nation insist that similar behaviour promoted on various websites be available for all our children at every library in the nation.)
Anyways, ask Hillary why she is supporting a candidate who has ADMITTED TO MURDEROUS ATROCITIES in Vietnam. Watch your back Kerry! Guess who is behind you all the way, making sure that you are not a viable candidate in 2008?
