Revisionist His-story

You can tell when Bill Clinton is lying, its' whenever his lips are moving. Clinton: I Would Have Attacked Bin Laden.

He continues to try and revise history, by showing that he would have been tougher on bin Laded given the chance. Let me just remind you that it was his administration that put up "the wall" (thanks to Jamie Gorelick, Assistant AG) between the FBI and CIA, preventing them from sharing intelligence.

It was also the Clinton Administration that tried to treat terrorism as a law-enforcement issue instead of a national security crisis. It was Clinton who turned down bin Laden's head on a platter because "We didn't have anything to charge him with."

Now he says this:

"I desperately wish that I had been president when the FBI and CIA finally confirmed, officially, that bin Laden was responsible for the attack on the U.S.S. Cole," Clinton tells New York magazine this week. "Then we could have launched an attack on Afghanistan early."

[...]

"I always thought that bin Laden was a bigger threat than the Bush administration did," he told New York magazine.

Oh, please. If you thought that, why in the hell didn't you do anything about it? You attacked Al Qaeda training camps with cruise missiles only to knock Monica's name and stained dress off the front page.

Just remember that he will say (but not actually do) anything to make you believe that he had a perfect presidency.
