A link to this will go out in a few minutes in the next mass email.

[WaterDragon]

It is really good, isn't it? Thanks, backhoe.

[backhoe]

It is very good, indeed. This way, more people will get to see it.

[Don Carlos]

Excellent piece TBM.

Clinton will always be remembered as a liar, a coward, and a disgrace to the office he held. How any self-respecting person can continue to defend this POS is beyond me.

D'oh! Think I answered myself, there!

[VOYAGER]

Former President Bill Clinton needs to see a therapist since he has the nerve to try to pin the blood of our servicemen on the hands of his predecessor, when his hands are stained with the blood of 800,000 Rwandans who died in 9 weeks of ethnic cleansing back in the spring of 1994.

This low life scumbag has no conscience since he is devoid of a moral foundation.

Having no morals precludes the possibility of this filthy scalawag being sorrowful or even embarassed about his foul presidency, we cannot not expect he will do any thing but continue to spread his filth over the public face of America.

[swheats]

We need your bold, courageous voice. Historical facts need to be resurrected every now and then and you did well on Clinton/Waters/Albright.

[norton]

Thank you Sir.

[dixiechick2000]

WOW! Nice one, TBM! Very well done! ^5

Thanks for calling this to my attention, WD.

[solo gringo]

Like I've said before I like your spunk.Its writers like you that sends a clear message thanks.

EXCELLENT WORK!!!

Why was it that those Delta guys and the Rangers had no armor or AC-130 support, Mr. Clinton? Why is it that you ignored al-Qaida for so long that we got 9/11?

Sorry, but I'm angry about this. We ignored this for far too long under the his watch, and it's time to call him on it. I'm passionate about this one - not only since 9/11, but particularly since we found Gordon's GPS in one of those caves those al-Qaida creeps were hiding in!

No "new tone" on this one. This one's to hold the creep responsible for getting brave men killed due to their concern about image.

MIDI - SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST -- go to site and scroll down for MIDI in the second group

There are so few who pass the test
They are the best of all the best
They are called Rangers, strong and proud
And each one stands above the crowd

For those who survived the training
They were set to do what they were told
They were the warriors who were so well prepared
There's none more fierce and bold

To Mogadishu they would go
There was a Black Hawk down they know
Outnumbered one hundred to one
That's when the terror had begun

By greater forces they're outgunned
Yes, someone had screwed up...they were stunned
They got into a firefight
They fought 12 hours day and night

For those who survived the training
They were set to do what they were told
They were the warriors who were so well prepared
There were none more fierce and bold

All their requests civilians thwart
They needed armor for support
Eighteen had died, no armor came
Clinton's the one who is to blame

(slight musical interlude)

"Surrender's" no Ranger word

(slight musical interlude)

Eighteen brave heroes died 'cause no armor came
And Bill Clinton is to blame

There are so few who pass the test
They were the best of all the best
They gave their lives to do their part
They are remembered in our heart

They are remembered in...our heart
Yes, in our heart

During the 1992 campaign, I saw Clinton as someone really sleazy. I knew how he hated the military and I worried that he would become the commander in chief. How much more we have learned since those earlier days. This event, watching our soldiers' bodies dragged through the streets while the commander in chief did nothing, brought tears to my eyes. I became an absolute Clinton hater. And it kept getting worse. Coverups, obstruction of justice, dead bodies, witnesses threatened, rape, assault, weakening of the military and the sale of our technology to an enemy. But what the heck, it's a good economy so it doesn't matter. Right?

Outstanding! Our hats off to you!

[Valin]

Yes, but how do you really feel? :-)

With this new mission, U.S. Ground Commanders in Somalia quickly realized the need for heavy armory, as two bit petty warlords and bandits armed with rocket propelled grenades and pick-up trucks mounted with 50 cal. machine guns, ruled the streets of Somalia’s Capital, Mogadishu, beating up aid workers and stealing food for themselves.

And lets not forget our old friend Osama was there.

Excellent article---If I recall--didn't Les Aspin--take the fall for the Schlick-meister???
In addition, Aspin subsequently died of a heart attack!

May your dealings with Africans and African Americans get you a special place in the bowels of the most appropriate Abyss, maybe a septic tank filled with the carcasses of all whom you have hurt.

His victims deserve better.

PS: Thanks for tearing Slick a new one.

[reformed_dem]

Excellent article. May I say, you have quite a way with words. 8^D

[speekinout]

Oh, man! Thank you for such an insightful article. It means a lot coming from a Black.
White men, married white women, Christians of any lifestyle, etc. are always vilified when they criticize clintoon.

I don't know how we got here, but the "majority" are somehow not allowed to be "politically incorrect". And criticizing either clintoon is most definitely incorrect. I am so grateful when someone who is allowed to do so, does.
