Clinton's Revisionism

Bill Clinton's latest claim is simply laughable:

"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."

This comes from a man whose policy towards Saddam's Iraq was "regime change," but he was too gutless to enforce it. Bin Laden laughed at Clinton after Clinton's decision to send a cruise missile into an empty training camp in Afghanistan. And we all know that Clinton actually had been given the opportunity receive Bin Laden on a silver platter, but he refused.

Sure, Bill - we believe you.
