Clinton says plenty of blame to go around

AMBRIDGE - Former president Bill Clinton yesterday blamed himself for not building stronger ties with the Muslim world during the 1990s, and criticized his administration and that of his predecessor, George H. W. Bush, for abandoning Afghanistan after the Soviet occupation of that country ended in 1989.

Well put, the man is an untrustworthy liar. Who in their right mind would believe anything he said?
When he had authority he misused and manipulated it for his own purposes.
In short, he is a failure, both personally and professionally.

I thank God that disgrace is no longer infesting our Oval Office.

[stocksthatgoup]

mei copa mei copa......It's George Sr's fault!!

[Zeno44]

You want BLAME!!!! TRY THAT SPINELESS SENATE THAT REFUSED TO DO THE JOB FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THEY CANNOT ESCAPE THE RESPONSIBILTY FOR THIS TRAGEDY.

[Kermit]

Come on, tell us what you really think.;^)

[pubmom]

Absolutely! And I hope 9/11 was a wake up call to those in New York that elected the Great Broomed One!(Though I'm not convinced there wasn't massive voter fraud)

[jshermn]

Herpes is controllable! Dick Morris is the same guy who said that President Clinton was too busy as President to address the impeachment issue. You can't have it both ways, unless your last name is Clinton.

The amazing thing about this whole piece is the fact that the morons at Harvard continue to allow themselves to be used as a forum by this peckerwood from Yale!

It's allowed itself to be turned into a PC arena where legitimate scholarship is discarded in favor of what liberal doctrine dictates.

The place is rapidly slipping into it's rightful place as a cartoon university in the american cultural swamp.

[gaspar]

The idiot from Arkansas doesn't seem to realize that we are enmeshed in a religio-cultural war, not economic class warfare. The leaders of the Al-Qaida, like the leaders of the Taliban, like the leaders of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, like Tunisia's Nahda, etc., etc., etc., come from the privileged and educated class who decry the Western (read Crusader) impact on their Dar al-Islam. The mujahideen don't give a damn about poverty, which will be taken care of by one of the pillars of Islam, charitable giving, or the zakat. The fact that there are a lot of poor in Muslim nations is simply not as worrisome as the presence of thousands of highly educated religious fanatics.

Ive always said the that the 'toon was too busy dodging indictments,impeachment,and inquiries to be an effective leader

On the other hand, what might he have gotten away with if there had been no oversight whatsoever?

[Maceman]

He didn't have the support of the American people to fight terrorism.

According to Dick Morris, Clinton didn't have the support of the American people to lie under oath about Monica, either. Clinton's response? "We'll just ahve to win then."

If only he had shown the same gritty determinism about fighting terrorism.

... Let Bill take the $10 Million he is going to recieve for his book and the beast take the $8 Million she is getting for her book and apply it to the national debt of one of the countries they are trying to get us to forgive their debt...

No No, you don't understand...they don't want to use THEIR money...they want to raise taxes and use OUR money...after all...they are ROYALTY (in their own feeble minds) and as such, are entitled to live ABOVE the "little people"

Eight wasted years, and now he has the solutions to all the world's problems?

What a pathetic excuse for a human being he is.

[wingnuts'nbolts]

Can't he be arrested for sedition and incarcerated on a ship somewhere in the oceans of the world? Can't Hillary (gag) be sent with him?

[RottiBiz]

He's like a never ending nightmare!

LOL. My sentiments exactly.

[cardinal4]

Another good point

[pt17]

He has the political instincts of a shark in bloodied waters, and he has got to know he's committing political suicide with these bizarre speeches. Unless his intended audience isn't Americans

Bingo. One might think he's playing/pandering to a new audience composed of disenfranchised people (especially leftist college students) and nations in some new theatre of the absurd, perhaps a shadow UN or the next generation of our or someone else's youth.

There's evidence that what Jaidyn said (i.e., The only people in America who will listen to him are the college kids) is true. A Boston tv station reported last night that he received three standing ovations at Harvard. If he receives such receptions at colleges other than Harvard, there's reason to keep him on our radar screens.

You could also get the idea that he is consciously or subconsciously blazing a new trail of vindictiveness against those people and institutions he blames for all his problems. With a history of such behavior, what if he's blaming the country?

[Diogenesis]

X42 and his codpiece at Harvard

[princess leah]

He's been inhaling too much since he left office!!! Sooner or later (hopefully sooner) he'll take one sniff too many and that will be his final "legacy" Bill Clinton "WHAT A SNORTER"

[Jaidyn]

The question to ask is, if he's not appealing to Americans--at least not broad groups of them--who DOES find him appealing?
People who don't like to be proven wrong is the only answer I can come up with. In my town, the sheriff looks like Hitler (if he had a mustache). He is a closet drunk, liar, has kids up the wazoo by different women and never paid child support and beat his wife for sport. But he goes to church once in a while with his big Bible that has never been opened. During his last election women wore shirts that said, "God wants ----for Sheriff." A few of us fought back and was put through hell for it. It wasn't pretty. The more truths we revealed about the man, the stronger his followers became in their support of him. His daughter, who is barely old enough to vote told my son that every word I ever wrote about her father was spot on. At least he has one kid who is going to be ok. Maybe Clinton's son will come out of the closet some day and speak the truth. Chelsea never will.

[aShepard]

In response to a student's quuestion about the Camp David talks between Israel and the Palestinians that broke down in the summer of 2000, Clinton said that he never expected success during those negotiations,

So that's why all the negotiations were all show, no substance.

Is that why you let Chelsea help with the negotiations, so she could cut her eye-teeth on the world stage?

GO AWAY SCUMBAG!
