Bill Clinton's mountain of evidence against his lies over his response to the rise of Al-Qaeda is getting bigger by the moment. Now the recent CIA inspector general's report has flatly contradicted Clintons statements that he "worked hard to kill him" and "authorized a finding for the CIA to kill him".
Yet, Michael Scheuer, our CIA Bin Laden head honcho flatly contradicts that.
(Scheuer agreed with the inspector general’s findings on this issue, but said if anything the report was overly diplomatic. “There was never any ambiguity,” he said. “None of those authorities ever allowed us to kill anyone. At least that’s what the CIA lawyers told us.” A spokesman for the former president had no immediate comment.)
So there's no immediate comment? Why not? Because they want this to blow over. They want Clinton to still appear bulletproof to the liberal idiots who don't want to ask the tough questions about the run up to 9/11.
I want answers of who did what, why, when, and what can be done to prevent it in the future. I'm willing to forgive Clinton if he actually came up and said "I didn't take the threat seriously enough. I failed the American people. I was too involved with Monica to care. I thought I'd have another chance."
Something of an admission of what went wrong and where would be the least that he owes me and the rest of America. However, he won't do that. He's continually wanting to place blame on the Bush administration and Republicans. Hell in one of his interviews he says that the same people who blame him now were the same people who didn't take the warnings from Clinton seriously enough.
That well may be true, but as President, you have a moral obligation to protect America and it's citizens. He should have sent the military in and gave them blanket orders: "capture if you can, kill if you must".
Hell, even I thought the 1998 missile lobbing at Bin Laden was a bit of a "wag the dog" event. I was wrong then. See Bill how easy it is to admit you're wrong? I fully admit that I didn't think terrorism was that big of a deal in 1998. However, I don't have the CIA telling me about threats. I don't have the FBI looking into things. I don't have the vast intelligence and military capabilities that you had at your disposal when the threat of Al-Qaeda was growing.
However Bill, once Osama and al-Zahirwi are dead and gone, then the healing can begin. Until that day happens, and it MUST happen by American hands, it will be salt in the wound. If either of these two die of old age or something similar, I won't forgive EITHER President Bush or Clinton. I want them both looking down the barrel of a Navy SEALS' weapon or waking up with their throats slit.
