...it'd more than explain Clintigula's motive for a cover-up.
Actually it would have given the bent one a big stick to beat the military with. We all know about the "high esteem" (read loathing) the Clintons hold the military. He could have used this to further cut budgets, dismiss many of the brass who refused to toe the Clintonian line, and so forth. He certainly wouldn't risk any political capital in a coverup to protect the military.
Don't forget the big picture: he was facing an ELECTION in four months. His re-election for a second term.
Excellent points, Sir; worthy of serious consideration.
However, let us not forget the times...
There were other things going on at the time of this incident -- Clinton-agenda things -- and although you're 101% correct the Bent1 would in fact do nothing whatsoever to further the cause of or protect the image of our military?
He certainly would go to any lengths necessary to further his own interests & in this case his interests might've been obscured by this incident.
If it weren't for the fact they'll one day bury that traitorous SOB by strapping him to an auger & screwing 'em in the ground?
I'd say your observation makes a lot of sense, taken at face value.
But alas, this is *Clintigula* we speak of; therefore, the words, "Clinton," "Sense," "Logic," "Honor," "Righteousness," or any other host of words found linked in the same sentence?
Do nothing but make me wary & on my guard.
...just part of his legacy, for me.
