I was just reading over at Washington Monthlyabout the whole Richard Clarke thing and one of the commenters there had this nugget from Conservative druggy, Lush Rimbaugh: "The only war the Clinton's fought was on Ken Starr"

Hmm...anyone wanna make an argument that extreme conservative pressure on the Whitewater investigation (that produced no results) actually weakened efforts against Al Quaeda and international terror? Anyone, Anyone, Questions?

In another vein, I've been seeing a lot of defensive comments about how "all Clinton did" against AQ was to fire some missiles. Aside from those missile being more than Bush did pre 9-11, I should also point out that when he made that attack:

"Most senior Republicans, including House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Sen. Jesse Helms, praised the strikes, calling them necessary and even overdue. But a few other Republicans suggested Clinton timed the strike to deflect attention from his admission Monday that for seven months he had misled the nation by denying a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky." [Associated Press, 1998]

Propaganda, ain't it fun?
