TIME MAG CHARGES: BUSH ADMIN 'DELAYED' CLINTON PLAN TO ATTACK AL QAEDA

Drudge Report ^ | 8/4/02

[FreePaul]

The Bush administration had good reason not to trust anything that came out of the Clinton administration. No one else trusted them.

[jwalsh07]

Al Qaeda blew up the WTC in 1993. WTF were they waiting for. Joseph Goebbels has nothing on Time.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

What colossal hokum.
This is little more than a CYA hand-out from the Clintons. Why didn't Clintoon take up the Sudanese when they offered Osama on a silver platter. Too busy with bj's ?

[blackbart1]

I'd delay anything that clingon/gore had to do with! One can't go off half cocked without knowing what is really going on.

[hflynn]

"If we had done anything, say, two weeks before the election, we’d be accused of helping Al Gore," a former senior Clinton aide told TIME.

Lets pretend Clinton is telling the truth (LOL!). This means the Clinton's did not, are not and will not help Al Gore ever. Why? Hillary was running for the 2004 presidential nomination in 2000. The objective was simply to stop Al Gore from getting in Hillary's way in 2004.

[Rockitz]

Who delayed? Clinton delayed transition because from his perspective the election was in dispute. Let's get it straight Time!

[navyguy]

Time magazine is a left wing publication. They try and present themselves as balanced but they aren't. If you look at the Time issues from January to April you will discover that EVERY TIME the cover story was about Afghanistan and the war on terror these stories ALWAYS end on a negative note about US military involvement in the Middle East, usually in the last 2 paragraphs of the story. I've checked this myself and there is a very clear pattern. In addition to this Time has published *numerous* articles that are flatly false, especially in regard to the takeover of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and Palestinian "militants". Time has ZERO credibility when reporting on anything involving the Middle East.

just going by the title,
i know this is unadulterated horseshit ...

Where did AOLTIMEWARNER end the week??? Ann Coulter is number one. FOX is kicking all sorts of booty and Time is letting Pres Jackoff write copy??? Their answer is to move more left. Talk about whistling past the graveyard!

Pray for GW and the Truth

[Draakan]

Time and Newsweek are not even good bathroom magazines.

[denydenydeny]

Well, there you have it - - if only Bush had listened to Clinton and sent that Predator drone to take a peek at the terror camps, 9/11 would never have happened. We would have gone straight from 9/10 to 9/12.

Good point. How would looking at camps in Afghanistan given us any clue about what happened on 9/11?

The writers of this piece have to know that the story makes no sense. There is no conclusion to be drawn except that they wrote this story for no other reason than to provide a soundbite for Democratic political candidates.

Don't forget the Doctors.

[texasbluebell]

This is all about cleaning up the disreputable clintoon name in time for the next election cycle.

After all, Hitlery is going to need all the help she can get from Time, Newsweak, et al., to help her in her quest to wedge her fat rump into the Oval Office.

[proudofthesouth]

I'm sick and tired of Clintoon's supporters trying to write a good legacy for him!!

[aculeus]

Al Qaeda blew up the WTC in 1993.

Their intent was to knock one tower off its base, causing it to fall into the other making both fall. If successful, 20 thousand (at least) would have died.

They also planned to bomb the NYC tunnels.

Lawyer-boy Clinton's response? Sic Janet Reno on them. Role for Defense Department: zip.

[c-five]

Time: But Berger and the principals decided to shelve the plan and let the next administration take it up. With less than a month left in office, they did not think it appropriate to launch a major initiative against Osama bin Laden.

07055: "Of course not. During its last month, the Clinton administration was too busy selling pardons and issuing executive orders to focus on terrorism."

Time: That made it politically impossible for Clinton to strike—especially given the upcoming election and his own lack of credibility on national security.

Right 07055, lack of credibility on any subject!

[Afronaut]

True, but the fastest way to get rid of this jerk is to ignore him. Leave him in Harlem. That's a perfect place for this goon.

Make him the next Hootie and the Blow Fish.

[MinuteGal]

Good for you, Jigsaw! I hope not one single Freeper in the United States is on the Time subscription list. If you still are, think it over, and if you cancel, be sure to let them know why.

Sounds more like a presentation during a debate than a "plan". Time lending its support to a discredit Bush campaign before the elections sounds like a "plan.

The baloons keep going up but finally the people are
catching on to the Dem..BS..and the media assistance to
keep the baloons flying but they get punctured and fall within days as they are all meaningless attacks to get
