Bill Clinton
IS ANGRY
IS LASHING OUT
IS ON A TIRADE


Republicans put him on a tightrope back in 92, and he's never been off it since.

He is a living example of how they operate..

If you can get someone on defense about everything, they can never ever say or do anything that is not easily attacked...and if they dare to respond...well they are ..

see above..

Clinton actually could have/should have called out Poppy on the whole Somalia adventure.. That was a "lovely parting gift" from him to BC, because he had hammered into the public psyche that BC was "weak" on military, so what better way to assure that he would get no "honeymoon"?

send troops into a volatile area where "winning" was not ever a real possibility.

and the TC-1 attack happened very shortly after BC took office, but we did not hear BC whining about how the CIA-pres before him had apparently NO idea this was in the works..

Since the Whitewater and Paula Jones stuff was all the media was interested in, NOTHING that BC tried to do would be perceived as anything but "trying to change the subject"...

The real irony is thatf so much terrorism TODAY, can be traced back to policies of the reagan and Bush 1 policies..

BC should have been speaking out before now. I am glad he finally did, and hope he continues..

1. Clinton has uttered the unspeakable
Bill Clinton has done what nobody else could do, and that is speak with authority to rebut the so called "Clinton Legacy" that 9-11 is supposed to be in the historical persepctive of the right wing.
He has begun the dialogue, and now others may reinforce it as they have already begun to do.
Richard Clarke, Al Gore, John Kerry, Wes Clark and all Democrats may begin to set the record straight.
We all know George Bush did nothing to fight terrorism in his first 230 days in office, and now the whole world may begin to hear this truth.

4. Yes indeedy.. He put a bunch of IEDs in place
and with the constant attacks on Whitwater & Paula Jones and then of course the "other" issue later on ...

Is it any wonder why BC was always on defense..

Every candidate we have is playing defense from day one..

5. As long as the media is talking about BC and what he did or didn't do
and WHETHER BC WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR 9/11 OR NOT and not even discussing the shrub, the wingers will be happy.
