I don't recall Trent Lott saying such a thing, do you?
The wag-the-dog obejctions were this:
Klintoon didn't care a flying turd about bin Laden until it became convenient for him to try to bomb bin Laden as a way to divert attention from his legal problems.
Nothing in there about him being obsessed with bin Laden. Lots there about him being obsessed with his Monica problem.
No one has come forward to admit having said that Clinton was obsessed with OBL. No one. Another Clintoon dream sequence.
You are so right about Clintoon not caring about UBL. He didn't even know how to pronounce his name right - as shown in actual footage in the movie.
He says in the interview that he wanted to go in with special forces to get bin Laden and oust the Taliban BEFORE 9/11. That would have started a war! Now, all these Anti Iraq War people... I find it hard to believe that they would have been for that war even though it might have prevented 9/11! It makes me wonder how many 9/11s that we are preventing by being in Iraq that we DON'T know about.
