Thought it would be a good idea to discuss the upcoming interview where we already know Clinton loses it with Wallacae here. I for one am anxious to see it.

[rhombus]

Clinton's just fund raising with this interview.

[bonfire]

Fasten your seatbelt!

Watch Clinton's face when Wallace asks question #2.

lol

It starts that early. Wallace asks about terrorists. That sets Clinton off for the next 14 minutes.

[alisasny]

A non-confrontational question that only a lying narcassist could try and wiggle through. Gotta love it.

[the invisib1e hand]

someone thought it was staged. I'm not watching, but I'd love to hear some opinions about that...

[oceanview]

see the clips of this - that anger he has in his face - all I could keep thinking was "this was the face juanita broderick saw".

A QUESTION For Everybody...

If Bill really did order BL's assassination, wasn't he in violation of the prohibition against direct assassination enected by Ford and Carter, and upheld by Reagan????

Doesn't it apply EXCEPT in a time of war??
I don't remember Billy declaring War, do you???

Interview Quote"I authorized the CIA to get groups together to try to kill him."

CNN-Novenber 4,2002...
In a section of the order labeled "Restrictions on Intelligence Activities," Ford outlawed political assassination: Section 5(g), entitled "Prohibition on Assassination," states: "No employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination."

Since 1976, every U.S. president has upheld Ford's prohibition on assassinations. In 1978 President Carter issued an executive order with the chief purpose of reshaping the intelligence structure. In Section 2-305 of that order, Carter reaffirmed the U.S. prohibition on assassination.

In 1981, President Reagan, through Executive Order 12333, reiterated the assassination prohibition. Reagan was the last president to address the topic of political assassination. Because no subsequent executive order or piece of legislation has repealed the prohibition, it remains in effect.

Hey Bill,

If we evil Right wingers SO distracted you from chasing Bin Laden, how come you were able to exhaust the entire on hand supply of Tomahawk Cruise Missiles bombing the snot out of Iraq during Impeachment in Dec 1998?

How come you were not distracted from getting us bogged down in the never ending quagmire of a "Peace Keeping" mission in the Balkans? The mission now entering it's 12th or 13th year. You know, the mission YOU promised us would only last about 18 months?

[TomGuy]

The camera was on Clinton as Wallace asked the question.

You could see Clinton's face change from his jovial-ness to ire to irate in seconds.

[NeoCaveman]

Saw it this morning. Clinton goes bananas.

[ComputerGuy]

I'll bet Fox doesn't cave in like ABC did.

[oceanview]

he actually leans forward out of the chair - appearing to lunge at Wallace, but then "re-positions" himself in the seat.

[blogblogginaway]

I was wondering the same thing when I saw a clip of him saying he 'contracted' to have Bin Laden killed.

[skeeter]

I guess I'm an inarticulate troglodyte. The only reaction I have to the clips I've seen of this mixup is to wanna punch that bastrid in the nose.

[vetvetdoug]

a) Its about time someone asked some substantive questions of FIPOTUS Bill Clinton
b)Clinton clearly was on the defensive. It isn't rocket science when someone has the "deer in the headlights" attitude
c)This is too big to have been staged or an ambush. It was as it was, Clinton clearly showing the true sinister underbelly of himself.

Blow-by-blow previously covered on the Sunday Morning Talk Show Thread when it aired on the Fox over-the-air network, but it deserves its own thread anyway.

[andyandval]

I for one am anxious to see it.

You are in for a treat.

He is out of control in this interview.

[WVNan]

Yep. I've decided that clintoon set this up. Remember how his numbers would rise every time he portrayed hinself as a victim of the VRWC? Why did he agree to an interview with FOX, who he knows is going to ask him that question. He needed a way to strike out at his perceived enemies after his failure to stop ABC from "The Path to 9/11". He got it. Now let's see how this plays out. Keep an eye on hillary's numbers. Remember, clintoon does nothing without ulterior motives. Ever.

[umgud]

It's hell to try to save a legacy that doesn't exist.
