Clinton on Bin Laden

Since those of us who comment or post on this blog are in the much derided "reality based community", I doubt this will make any difference, but hey.

Contrary to a popular right wing myth, Clinton did try to eliminate Bin Laden: Remember the missile strikes in Afghanistan and the Neo Cons screamed "wag the dog!"

I had my problems with Clinton, to be sure (and I'll scream the next time anybody refers to him as far left, or even liberal: He was as centrist as it gets. The country is far right-or at least the GOP), but I would never accuse him of being a "dove", nor would I accuse him of not doing anything about terrorism. I happen to remember quite a bit of the nineties, at least as far as U.S. History and World Events are concerned. I happen to remember that the Republican Revolution undermined every attempt he made to deal with terrorism, focusing instead on the blown first penis and not the blown up USS Cole.

So I'm glad that Bill went on Fox and fucked Chris Wallace up. I know that Fox doesn't do "reality" unless its Hannitized, but its kind of cool to see Bill take the fight to them. It'll be interesting to see what the talking heads on their say about it.
