total scumbag. great graphic.
Thanks for the thread Howlin....
Good Morning TOL. Thanks. :)
I won't see the program until 9:00AM Central.
What time does it air for you?
Wonder if Russert will dare to ask him anything on "Meet the Press"? My guess is, he'll ask Clinton in a non-confrontational way that allows Bill to look good.
You're welcome! :o)
how do you know clinton is lying...he draws a breath..his lips are moving....he points a finger!
this a--hole had over 7 years to get bin laden..he was offered the terrorist more than 2 times...yet he did nothing.
Bush had little over 7 months..he spent half the time leaglly wrangling gore and the lib/msm over the presidency victory. Bush has gone after bin laden since 9/11.
Bush should be pointing his finger at clinton...and it should be his middle finger!!!!
Oh no, what happened now?
He should, but he has too much class to do so.
I read or heard of someone who stated Bill's plan was to helicopter a bunch of SF's into a taliban camp all dressed in Ninja suits. He posited this plan and said to his advisers, military or whoever "That oughta scare the shit out of 'em, Huh?" The attendees, rolled their eyes and nervously said "Yes, Sir".
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former President Bill Clinton, angrily defending his efforts to capture Osama bin Laden, accused the Bush administration of doing far less to stop the al Qaeda leader before the September 11 attacks.
In a heated interview to be aired on Sunday on "Fox News Sunday," the former Democratic president defended the steps he took after al Qaeda's attack on the USS Cole in 2000 and faulted "right-wingers" for their criticism of his efforts to capture Osama bin Laden.
"But at least I tried. That's the difference in me and some, including all of the right-wingers who are attacking me now," Clinton said when asked whether he had failed to fully anticipate bin Laden's danger. "They had eight months to try, they did not try. I tried. So I tried and failed."
The September 11 attacks occurred almost eight months after President George W. Bush succeeded Clinton in January 2001.
"I authorized the CIA to get groups together to try to kill him," Clinton said. He added he had drawn up plans to go into Afghanistan to overthrow the Taliban and launch an attack against bin Laden after the attack on the Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden.
"Now if you want to criticize me for one thing, you can criticize me for this: after the Cole, I had battle plans drawn to go into Afghanistan, overthrow the Taliban and launch a full-scale attack search for bin Laden. But we needed basing rights in Uzbekistan -- which we got after 9/11," Clinton said.
The former president complained at the time the CIA and FBI refused to certify bin Laden was responsible for the USS Cole attack.
"While I was there, they refused to certify. So that meant I would have had to send a few hundred special forces in helicopters, refuel at night," he said.
Earlier this month, Clinton dismissed as "indisputably wrong" a U.S. television show that suggested her was too distracted by the Monica Lewinsky scandal to confront the Islamic militant threat that culminated in the September 11 attacks.
Thanks for starting this thread. I will miss the first airing in my time zone this morning, because I'm going to church. But I'll read the thread, as I watch the 2nd airing late this afternoon.
