Re-writing history from the bully pulpit
Posted by Moonage on 25 Sep 2006 | Tagged as: Comments from the Host
Bill Clinton was on Fox New Sunday yesterday. Chris Wallace asked him why he didn’t do more to get Osama Bin Laden. Clinton went off. In usual Clinton fashion, he totally dodged the question by accusing Chris of being part of the vast Fox wing conspiracy. The evidence of his accusation was Chris Wallace had never asked the Bush administration the same thing. Chris Wallace said he had. Bill said he hadn’t. Well, according to Patterico’s Pontifications, Chris Wallace HAS asked the Bush administration those questions. In fact, Wallace was harder on Rumsfeld than he was on Clinton:
- I understand this is 20/20 hindsight, it€™s more than an individual manhunt. I mean what you ended up doing in the end was going after al Qaeda where it lived. . . . pre-9/11 should you have been thinking more about that?
- What do you make of his [Richard Clarke€™s] basic charge that pre-9/11 that this government, the Bush administration largely ignored the threat from al Qaeda?
- Mr. Secretary, it sure sounds like fighting terrorism was not a top priority.
Now, the evidence is blindingly obviouus. But do a Google out there and see how many people are repeating exactly what Clinton claimed without a care in the world whether he was right or not. And, in the usual Clinton fashion, the question was never answered. He said he did this and that, but the evidence is totally contradictory to what he says he did. There are all kinds of inconsistancies in Clinton’s interview. However, per the norm, the Clinton army muddles the fact he either is grossly wrong or lying out his butt again by following exactly what he tells them to do. Amazing really.
For a full analysis of the Wallace-Clinton interview, please read Patterico’s. The content is excellent.
