Realize this: when he talks about the "right wingers saying he was obsessed with OBL and demanding he bring the troops out of Somalia," what he's trying to do is recharacterize the "wag the dog" accusations!
And he NEVER had battle plans drawn to invade Afghanistan. The Pentagon ALWAYS has those plans drawn up.
Also, Dick Clarke was NOT fired.
This whole thing is a staged cover my rear feigned -I-did-not-have-sex-with-that-woman-Monica-Lewinsky kinda speech. It is calculated. It is contrived. And, Clinton is an actor. He's deliberately invading Chris's space. Re-writing history. And using this, just prior to an election, to try to make it look like the Bush administration and Right Wingers are worse than Bin Laden for this country.
Sorry, I don't believe the anger act. Clinton doesn't do this unless he has specific agenda in mind, such as covering for the p-poor job he did the entire 8 years of his Presidency. He was a failure. Dismal failure. He allowed Bin Laden to thrive and survive and then when it came time for a turn-over of power wouldn't give proper briefings to Bush to transition.
Did Bush make mistakes? Sure. But he had 8 months worth of data (none of which pointed to a specific attack which was imminent but merely they might be going to hijack some planes - not that they were going to crash those planes into buildings) and got caught unprepared. Clinton lived under direct attack on this nation's interests during his Presidency and did NOTHING.
This is a way to get publicity for himself and to get his ideas out and to bash Bush.
Frankly, he is a puny little man and traitor to his country and always will be.
"Also, Dick Clarke was NOT fired."
And I thought I was the only one that heard that.
Thank you.
