NEW YORK (CNN) -- Former President Bill Clinton said Saturday he had authorized a plan to arrest, and if necessary, kill accused terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden -- and had even contacted a group in Afghanistan to carry out the plan.

But that group was not successful, he said.

He's full of crap. He consciously chose not to get rid of the ban on taking out foreign leaders. So he was plotting to break his own laws? What great leader. What a lying sack of ****.

He's full of shit. I find it discusting that he's trying to position himself in the spotlight while the nation morns.

This a another big lie. Just like the one Hillary told about Chelsea being withing 2 blocks of trade center. What did bill have in mind? Hitting so many camel butts that bin Laden would drown in dung? Clinton left bin Laden out there because he was getting big money to do so.

At the time this ostensibly "occurred", Bill Clinton was President. And, I suppose it was a secret. What benefit to the United States accrues if it is now made public? Why is it still not secret. All it will do is inflame our opposition. Now they can say, "Bill Clinton targeted us. It was self defense that we made this pre-emptive attack".

Clinton needs to crawl back under his rock and quit trying to take credit.

This demonstrated liar would have someone believe he tells the truth.

Treason, and eternal Treason. Nothing but Treason.

9-11 is a direct result of 8 years of Clintoon foreign policy.

It will take us years, maybe even generations, to undo the damage this former President accomplished for the purpose of creating his "legacy".

clinton is so full of crap, that when he finally passes, all the morticial will have to do is give him an enema, then put his remains into a matchbox.

No doubt. Every other president has the class to go away and quietly write their memoirs and play golf. But Bubba wants to be a celebrity. He's like your scumbag brother-in-law that drinks a 12-pack of beer and makes a fool of himself at a family picnic. He won't leave unless he's dragged away kicking and screaming.

This "after the fact" pronouncement by Clintoon is so obvious. All but the most niave will see through this "Me too!" claim. Have you heard the report that Clinton will bravely fly on at least 4 major airline flights next week to prove their safety? I guess he will have an entourage of reporters with him. What a headline-grabbing @sshole!

"He won't leave unless he's dragged away kicking and screaming."

Then, let's start dragging.

Let's put some numbers on the table. Clinton (him) fired $2 million missiles at $10 tents, and thereby whacked a hornet's nest with a stick. The result was that two $30 million airplanes were flown into the $1 billion Trade Center Towers, and 5,600 Americans were killed.

I almost forgot. There are three other numbers. Clinton (him) got a $12 million book advance, and Clinton (her) got an $8 million advance. And from that, they gave a combined total of $0 to the Relief Fund for the WTC victim's families and rescuers.

Sometimes numbers DO tell the story.

Gee! Why am I skeptical?

Lest America ever forget why The Nameless One, W(B)-97, and all their enablers should be hectored, hounded, and harried into silence, until "clintonese is only spoken in Hell," look here:

As much as I detest the guy, I'm beginning to think he actually does have a purpose now. There are the Clinton worshippers who will be much more likely the support Bush's goals if they see Clinton showing up at these kind of events. American unity is the more important goal right now and if Clinton showing up with Guiliani helps that then I guess I'm for it.

I saw The Great Fornicator on the tube last night mugging with Guliani, trying to weasel his way into this story, as if he had any productive role to play. DEAR CLINTONS: FOR GOD'S SAKE, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO AWAY AND LEAVE US ALONE!! YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE TO OUR COUNTRY!!!

You got that right! It's all "Me too!" He's a sick, lonely old man with nothing to do. I predicted 8 years ago that he would be miserable after he left office and there's a reason. It's time to give the devil his due and Clinton owes a lot.

Gee whiz! Didn't he mess up enough things that we knew about?

What's the point of bringing this up now? Just to reinforce what a failure he was?
