Reply #8: promoting the lie that Clinton was offered Bin Laden by [View All]

[librechik]

Somalia and others. Nothing of the sort happened; although Somalia did say that IF they got Bin Laden would we take him? and Clinton's people said "Really? do you have him?" at which point negotiations were withdrawn. The Somalis were not offering OBL to US anyway, they were offering to extradite him to Saudi Arabia, if they had him, which they apparently never did. Saudi Arabia refused OBL, not us.

Nevertheless the RWers have decided these puny facts are so juicy and capable of being spun against Clinton that they are going to ride this horse into 2004.

A few questions: Is Clinton running for anything? If it actually happened (which I doubt) what does this have to do with any of the current candidates? Do they really think that "proving" that one democrat missed an opportunity will destroy all other democrats?

It is so pathetic and evil that Matthews and others will give this WSJ fascist air time to spew irrelevant lies again. I am not surprised. They have nothing to be proud of in their own record, so all they can do is point fingers at the last mistake one of us made several years ago. Too bad their robotic followers will pick up this rotting carrion like it is fresh meat, and it will clutter the news for a few days. They win again, (at least, for them,)because every minute that is taken up spewing old, irrelevant lies, is one more minute where a free press won't be able to tell the truth.

Hooray for their side! They are obviously true and patriotic Americans!

NOT!
