This is from an interview (here, its pretty good, people should read it) of Bill Clinton by Tom Brokaw.

"Then when the Cole happened — I thought we had to go in with a military response.

But it was October of 2000. I had three months left to go. And the FBI and the CIA had not jointly certified bin Laden's responsibility until I left office. Had I been there then, I would've ordered military action of some kind. Because I don't think there was any option to do that. And I've been talking about this for years as you know. And way back in '96, I said that this would be the great scourge of our time, the whole terrorism threat and their efforts to get weapons of mass destruction.

So, it would've been my judgment that, if I'd been sitting there and they said, "Okay, they did it and we finally can certify it," I think I would've had no choice but to order some sort of military action."

Here's the Vid

If I had a ******, I'd totally let Clinton in it.

This is your fault Illia. If we had numbers, these retards would have been sub-def in about 35 seconds.

But no....

For the record, I am not currently registered to vote; however, if somehow Big Willy ever got to run for President again I would vote for him in a heartbeat.



Then explain the existentialistic K-A-R-M-A that comes along with it! You think the gopher got there on accident?

You incredulous affront to humanity, that's what the MEDIA wants you to think. Brainwashed and brouhaha'd my friend on the very level which you perceive your peers to be with your golden tablets and your silly little pen-knives.

Honestly, I thought Clinton looked like a guy who'd lost his cool. Big time. He basically exploded over nothing before Chris Wallace even asked him the first question.


I do love how he redirected the broad question about actions against bin Laden into just the USS Cole and Richard Clarke. That's great Bill. But what about the first WTC boming which you treated as a criminal matter, and the Embassy bombings in Africa that you just kinda ignored? The USS Cole was the last of several events that could have promted action by Clinton. Excusing a lack of action because in that one particular case, he didn't get confirmation of Bin Laden's involvement before leaving office just avoids the issue.


I'm still convinced that Clinton mostly used foreign policy as a PR manipulation technique, with little thought to the long term consequences. He was "obsessed with Bin Laden" on paper, but never seemed to actually do anything about it. Except bring up his name and launch an airstrike whenever he needed a distraction from his domestic problems.


I just find it amusing that Bush has been being based for 5 years straight about "failing to prevent 9/11", but now that we're *finally* getting a tiny bit of broadcast media to maybe imply that Clinton just might be responsible for some part of it, he's getting super defensive...


Well boo hoo Clinton. Deal with it.

Actually, as I read it in the transcript, and as it was admitted by Wallace himself, he asked him two questions related to Clinton's global initiative before he asked him about Al queda. Both of which were answered fully and with good humor.

The reason he exploded was that because he was told the interview would be 15 minutes, and half of that time would be about his global initiative and the other half about anything he wanted to ask. Wallace asked him two fairly brief questions on the initiative and then jumped to Al Queda and what he didn't do right. Wallace claimed he was going to go back to that, and maybe he would have.

Also, I think that Clinton's outburst seemed a bit planned. I think he knew what was going to be asked and just waited for it so he could go off.

If it's any consolation, I was in negotiation meetings this week where one of the parties (who may or may not have been called 'Chelsea') failed through repeated us of the phrase "Do you know who I am?"

My response was "Yes, but what are you?"

She left empty-handed, surrounded by security men.
