Quotes from GOP and RW on Clinton Attacks on Al Qaeda?
Sorry, this is a repost, but my previous post had a rather uninspiring title...

If you have free Lexis Nexis,
Have an idea for a project, but because I work at a law firm, where my ability to spend numerous hours on Lexis is null, can't really follow up on this.

Basically, was wondering if someone could compile a list of Republican and right wing commentators' statements after Clinton launched cruise missiles on Afghanistan and Sudan in an attempt to kill Osama bin Laden and/or neutralize Al Qaeda, as well as any other actions he took against Al Qaeda.

Frankly, I'm getting a little tired of the talk coming from the right wing that Clinton's inattention to Al Qaeda was the cause of 9/11, especially when, as I recall, virtually every one of those talking heads were implying or saying explicitly that Al Qaeda was a bogeyman invented by Clinton to draw attention away from his Lewinsky scandal.

I would think a list of quotes from people like Rush Limbaugh et al would be nice. Also, I vaguely recall that Bush himself said something to the effect that the previous administration had overstated the threat from terrorism and Al Qaeda, while ignoring the real problems in foreign policy, led by North Korea and Iraq.

1. Good suggestion.
Add to the list stuff about lying under oath, lying to Congress, just to liven things up...

2. Read Dick Clarke's book
that is a good source for comebacks. :)
