My friends, I want you to listen to my brilliant Hour One challenge to the Republicans in Congress. The Democrats are demanding top-secret documents prepared for the president on Osama bin Laden and Middle Eastern men training at our flight schools.
Ari Fleischer says the White House is working with congressional committees investigating the matter. Cheney warned against playing politics, and Condolleezza Rice gave a briefing. All that's fine, but if congressional Republicans do not repeatedly and loudly demand likewise for Sandy Berger, Madeleine Albright - and, yes, Bill Clinton - to get to the bottom of their failure to act on the Sudanese government's offer to hand over Osama bin Laden, then they're not worth supporting.
I am very serious about this. If the White House is going to contribute, it's up to House Republicans to borrow, beg or grow a spine and conduct themselves the way the Democrats would in these sorts of circumstances. If congressional Republicans don't assert themselves, Daschle Democrats are going to roll right over them in this investigation and it's going to turn out to be nothing more than a Robert Bork-type hearing.
This is not about blame or "gotcha." It's about facts. In the current See, I Told You So, I remind you that of my warning that foreign policy would be then-Governor Clinton's downfall - and now stories are coming out about exactly this sort of thing happening related to September the 11th. CNN reports that the United States was warned in 1995 of a plot to hijack airplanes and attack buildings, and sent a similar warning on September 11th...of 1999. Fight it, guys - now.
Naw, it won't happen. Need a spine and coglioni for that.
Bush Says He Wants to Let Clinton 'Move On'
"Listen, here's my view: I think it's time to get all of this business behind us. I think it's time ... to allow the president to finish his term, and let him move on and enjoy life and become an active participant in the American system. And I think we've had enough focus on the past. It's time to move forward."
Bush Won't Dwell On Clinton Affair, "We're Moving Forward"
"B/S, Mr Bush. Clinton is a criminal and a traitor. We demand a thorough investigation and prosecution. Our Republic is dead and our liberty is at stake if the next administration does not clean up this mess for now and forever more. Corrupt politicians must pay the price for subverting our Constitution and using their offices for personal gain."

silly of me!
By Bush letting them remain free, he does the rest of America disservice, and serves the democrat modus operandi. They are inherently evil, ALL politicians are. There is not ONE honest politician in office, and there will never be, since we the people tolerate the parasites who redistribute the wealth that our nation creates.
------------------------
Translation: Both the Clintons get a free pass guaranteeing absence of any consequences for their actions and a standard of corruption is established for the future.

I doubt that it can be done. Judge Wright adjudicated the matter and imposed a meaningless penalty. In our legal system a person can't be tried repeadedly for the same crime. She should haven given Clinton a year in the slammer for his actions. I've written about this earlier and there is no sense in going into it now..
Exactly right. But this is all part of George W. Bush's master secret smart socialist compassionate bi-partisan warm fuzzy calm inclusive feel-good peaceful olive branch winning plan. You didn't get your decoder ring?

HONOLULU (AP) - Former President Clinton said Friday he knew about the dangerous potential of Osama bin Laden but discounted reports that a 1999 analysis should have alerted his administration to a terrorist attack on the scale of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Same guys running intel who knew what they knew had his ear. And in the aftermath of 9-11 no one was fired. Until now.
Of course lateral moves don't punish anyone.
Bush is playing catchup. Not a winning game.

Both the Clintons have been finished for 20 years. If I live long enough to see it actually happen I will be here to see instantaneous travel to distant galaxies.
