Clinton Hatched Wacky 'Black Ninja' Plot to Get al-Qaeda (Legacy)

Two former Clintonoids are complaining that the Pentagon and FBI blocked Bill Clinton's half-hearted schemes to go after Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. But the aides' own example of Democrat-style counterterrorism clarifies why there was resistance.

Daniel Benjamin and Steven Simon, "Clinton-era National Security Council experts on terrorism," say that after Clinton's missile attacks on al-Qaeda in Afghanistan "achieved little" in August 1998, he dreamed up this little stunt, the Associated Press reported today:

The prez approached Gen. Hugh Shelton, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and said, "It would scare the [expletive] out of al-Qaeda if suddenly a bunch of black ninjas rappelled out of helicopters in to the middle of their camp. It would get us an enormous deterrence and show those guys we're not afraid."

The Pentagon, however, predicted a disaster worthy of Jimmy Carter, who sent helicopters to Iran in hopes of rescuing 52 American hostages. "The result was the incineration of two helicopters and the deaths of eight servicemen," AP noted.

Thus, "Clinton's 'black ninja' plan never got off the ground."

The reader who alerted NewsMax to this item concluded, "I couldn't stop laughing."

You know what...I grow weary of Clinton attacks...he is his own worst enemy...nothing you or I say about this disgrace will deepen or lessen that fact...

Always remember...

The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.

QUAH!

Well, the first black ninja president certainly had his all his options open, and then some. After all, Sudan did offer Clinton, bin Laden's head at least three times. But, Clinton declined saying that he didn't have as yet have a legal reason to accept the Sudanese offer.

What the heck, maybe the president wanted the black ninja's to deliver the subpeona.

There's only one kind of head Bubba cares about.

I thought I read this somewhere else in the last couple of days. How sure are we this is accurate? This sounds like a hoax. If true,it is even more humiliating to be a democrat than I thought.

That stuff may have worked when dealing with Waco, Ruby Ridge, and Elian, but when your dealing with terrorists, a man in a black mask is only gonna piss em off more.

I feel safer already.

Do these two clowns know what an ASS this makes their former boss out to be?

Sometimes silence is all you need for damage control. But with Bill, noooooooooooo...

"It would scare the [expletive] out of al-Qaeda if suddenly a bunch of black ninjas rappelled out of helicopters ...

Why black ninja's? Wouldn't white or hispanic ninja's suffice?

Once again, the black man dies first!

Nope, he's no friend to the black man. ;-)

These ideas are self evidently the machinations of a hopped up coke-head. It is utterly amzing that the U.S. survived his tenure as well as it did. However I believe there are many cases of the damage he did yet to be revealed to the public.

If this is not proof that Billy-Jeff was snorting coke like a vaccuum then I don't know what is.

Picture it, Ole Huggy-Bubba all coked out, glassy-eyed "hey Hugh - hehe - what if we like get some like ya know black ninja's - hehe - and we like ya know we like put in these helicopters see - hehe - oh man this is so cool. we get him like those choppers and ya know and we oh hey you gonna eat that, oh man thanks, i have the munchies something awful. oh yeah yeah where was I - oh yeah - ok hugh here it is man, we get thes ninja's in the choppers and. Ya following me. hey I'm talking to you. yeah ok like we get these ninja's in these choppers, and we - heyyy Eleanor - wooo woooo - oh man hugh , i tell you what talk about a golfball through a, oh sorry where was I. I yeah, ninja's, choppers - oh man Hillary heard be yell at Eleanor, oh man another ashtray upside the head tonight. ok anyway - we like get these ninja's and we get them in the choppers, and they like repel into Bin-Laden's camp. Is that greast or what. HAHAHAHAHA . Hugh? uh Hugh? oh man. Damn, heyyy Monica, how ya doin babe."

GMTA!!!!!

[blackbag]

another example of Clinton living in Hollywood land.
Soo outta touch, we are lucky more insanity didn't happen.

[Ax]

Hmmmmm. clinton (CINC), "Hugh, y'all drop some ninjas in on those terrorist camps, ya hear?"

CJCS: Sod off, sir.

When CinC gives CJCS an order, doesn't CJCS USUALLY say, "Aye, Aye, Sir," and hop to it?

This clown gets more and more bizarre as time goes by. ((Hey, neat title for a song.))

[harpo11]

LOL!!!

I'm just wondering what movie came out in the Summer of '98 that may have made a deep and lasting impression and inpsiration for Bill Clinton's formulation of his "black-clad ninja" attack plans?

Earth to ex-CINC(or in x42's case, ex-SINK)...wouldn't a daisycutter--or a good ol' fashioned B-52 payload--dropped into their camp in the middle of the night be more effective? Plus we'd save who-knows-how-much in Ginsu Cutlery Procurement.
