No. I am NOT saying he was.

But for argument's sake, let's assume that what the shriek monkeys are alleging is true. Clinton was distracted because of the Lewinski thing and the impeachment.

How did he GET distracted?

Because the right wing partisan hate and smear machine was on a witch hunt inside his zipper. Because they threw every piece of shit charge against him. Because they were offended by libido. Beacuse they wanted power more than national security. Because they sidetracked the entire fucking government for years.

1. Because the GOP claimed that terrorism was being EXAGGERATED by Clinton to
distract from the more pressing importance of THEIR impeachment for the crime of hiding his sexual indiscretion with a young woman.

6. It is just surreal ...
They freakin had congressional investigations, including subpeaonas, about the fan mail for the gall darn cat, for christ sake ... Meanwhile, as you noted, railed on night and day about "wag the tail" in relation to him going after Saddam ...

TODAY, these freakin retards can't get the first gall darn thing right, but it is ALL terra, terra, all the time, and you are wholly unamerican to question the WORST GALL DARN PRESIDENT we have seen in our lives about anything ...

We are literally dealing with people who have the mindset of children ...

7. WH is "Lord of the Flies" administration. They couldn't have done it
without the "Lord of the Flies" mentality of their corporate media enablers.

2. Absolutely, and we need to say it loud!
Bill Clinton wasn't "distracted" by Monica Lewinsky. IF he was distracted during the last couple of years of his presidency, it was by the right wing bastards who made an issue out of something that was his private business and hounded him relentlessly all the way to impeachment.

The blame for 9/11 lies with the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" to bring down Clinton and install BushCo. Bill Clinton did the best he could under very trying circumstances.

:mad: :wtf:

3. I'm unwilling even to entertain the idea of stipulating to that.

4. Technically that's not a stipulation but an assumption
With that aside, I agree with your analysis.

5. Another small issue:
"We could not anticipate they would use airliners to bring dwon buildings" (KinaSleazy Rice, when asked about the Bush administration's failures prior to their big gift on 9/11/01)

NOW who was asleep at the wheel?
