    And the subject is: Bill Clintown pwns Fox News.

    That's not an opinion. Look at the top of the page.

    Among other things. Clinton gets the full fact checking here:

    Ripz,

    Please clarify this so-called "fact checking" by the hotair blog. It's rather cryptic. Seems to me it's mostly specious nitpicking, but perhaps I'm just ideologically blinded.

    Staging a fight with Clinton on Fox News also keeps this rather more important item further down the headlines.

    As Yoda said, "Do or not do, there is not "Try"".

    I've known since I was old enough to care that the govornment is run by a bunch of fuckups. The higher you go, the more this is true. Clinton failed during his 8 years to take care of Bin Laden just like Bush has failed during his time in office. Clinton could have begged the question off and gotten back on point but he obviously is bent out of shape that anyone would place the blame on him and wanted to make an issue out if it. Clinton said it himself though, he failed.

    Next question please Mr. Wallace.

    (see how easy that was?)

    At least Clinton has a single 'failure' to discuss...this current clown has an entire presidency, and legacy, of dismal failure.

    Well, see - it's easy to say in retrospect that we shoulda canned OBM way back when, before 9/11. But really, could the US have gotten the go-ahead to invade a sovereign nation (run by crazies, true, but nonetheless sovereign) on the strength of the USS Cole, the embassy attacks and OBM's declaration of war?

    No fucking way.

    As it was, Clinton got shit for "wagging the dog" for the missle attack from a right wing obsesed with where he'd put his cigar. Plus it wasn't even very easy to get the overflight permissions from Pakistan to send the missles in.

    I no longer have to live in fear of Saddam Hussein's secret police coming to get me in the middle of the night. Seriously, that used to be a big concern of mine.
    And the Iraqi people--they've never had it so good.

    you're quoting an article from the BBC, that references a NYT article that is taking leaked inteligence out of context?

    regarding Bill Clinton's performance. He's a little defensive, no? The questions seemed to be pretty innocuous. Brown's questions to him were less confrontational that what he'd asked Rummy. This is pretty far from an attack on Clinton. additionally, who were all the VRWC members that supposedly attacked clinton for trying to go after bin Laden? Both Gingrich and Lott are quoted numerous times supporting the attack in response to the Embassy bombings. The only one I can find calling for conspiracy is Arlen "Magic Bullet" Specter.

    Who cued the smoke machine? Back to Iraq already? For a moment, I thought we could actually put a good Clinton thread together.

    Anyone who has read Richard Clarke's book will probably recognise the irony that it traces the rise of global terror to the Reagan administration's failure to retaliate against the 1982 Beirut bombings, fuelling the perception around the world that the United States was vulnerable to such attacks.

    Fast forward a quarter of a century and the nature of asymmetrical warfare has demonstrated that willingness to engage, in Afghanistan and Iraq for example, is now the clearest way the US could have flagged its vulnerability. The legacy of armed forces procurement policy that remains rooted in the Cold War is but one example of how ill-equipped Western nations are to deal with this threat.
