Memo to Susan Estrich…

Share article:

Bill Clinton believed there were WMD’s. So did the French and the Germans and the British and the Russians and the UNITED NATIONS for Christ sake!

How many times will we have to sit around listening to Sean Hannity et al repeat that blather before we can find a Media-Approved-Liberal who is smart enough to pipe up and say “RIGHT, THEY DID! BUT THEY DIDN’T SEND OUR BOYS TO WAR FOR IT, YOU JACKOFF!”.

You’d think the level of certitude required for a “Pre-emptive Strike” would be a bit higher than “Uh, well, geez, Bill Clinton said they were bad guys too!”

Just about everybody who reads this, and knows who Scott Ritter is, most likely owes him an apology.

    That’s right! Clinton did not do anything, which allowed them to bring it to us, called 911. Funny, we recently caught the guy working right under the mastermind of 911 in Iraq. We also caught another guy in Iraq that participated in a terrorist act in the past. There is no connection to Terrorism and Iraq.

    Since you’re…under informed, Paul, even by David Kay’s standards, the Iraq Chemical capabilities were knocked out by the air strikes of ’98.

    Other than that, I guess you need reminding that, as George W. Bush said "there is no tie between Saddam Huseein and 9/11". Thus "Clinton not doing anything, so they could bring it to us, called 911" makes no sense at all. But keep trying!

    hey paul…how pleased do you think Reagan was when his enemies were being gassed by his then buddy Saddam and the oil flowed freely?

    You forget this war on terror we’re fighting now is a direct result of conservative blowback? That wasn’t Clinton’s hand Donny Rumsfeld was shaking in Iraq as Iranians were being gassed.

    Of course the conservative politics of personal responsibility means ‘Blame Clinton’ even when you control THE ENTIRE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
