Quisling Down and Under

 

 

Ann Coulter proves again she is queen of snark in her latest column, “I Did Not Have Sex with that Nomad, Osama Bin Laden” (h/t to Lady Jane).  

 

Ann of course is a pro at lining up her facts and delivering them with style; however, this time she may have erred slightly (though maybe this was her way of being just a bit generous with the quarry of her vivisection): "The glassy-eyed Clinton cultists are insisting their idol's on-air breakdown during a "Fox News Sunday" interview with Chris Wallace was a calculated performance, which is a bit like describing Hurricane Katrina as a 'planned demolition.'" But Ann surely knows that Katrina was a planned demolition concocted by the evil racist Republicans in the White House...

 

No, seriously though, it's really a shame that while trying to kill Bin Laden poor Vince Foster accidentally got in the way. The libs not only lie, they tell big lies, absurd lies, lies requiring a poor public education system to make them believable to 20% of the American people. As Ann and so many others have ad nauseum pointed out since Sunday, Clinton’s lie that he was trying to kill Bin Laden is easily revealed by the fact it was at the time illegal to target enemies like Bin Laden for assassination. Not that the law ever really meant anything with the Clinton White House, but then again Clinton didn’t even attempt to remove or even minimize the capabilities of Bin Laden. If Clinton really wanted Bin Laden that badly, we can all be assured Bin Laden would have at least had bite marks on his upper lip, which was nearly the story for Chris Wallace, as Coulter points out. The fact that Clinton gets whatever he wants whenever he wants it bad enough shouldn’t be lost on anyone here. And if Clinton wanted a robust national security and a good defense against terrorists and spies, he wouldn’t have cut the CIA by nearly 80% and the armed forces in half. Sorry Bill, but those of us who lived through the Reagan experience know what a well-supported and well-prepared national security policy looks like.

 

Where history does not utterly ignore and shut out the Clintons, history will not cast a friendly eye to them or the traitors that scurried in their circle. From Russia and China to Osama Bin Laden, the Clintons did what Democrats do best: broadcast surrender to our enemies. Bin Laden’s view of Clintonian fortitude was literally broadcast around the world on several occasions during the 1990’s, so no one had delusions about which way the sewer water was flowing, unless of course one were delusional. Ann quotes Bin Laden in her article from an interview he graciously sat down for in 1998 with ABC News. While even Bin Laden managed to get through an entire interview with a member of the press without personally threatening the journalist or coming unhinged in response to simple questions, Bin Laden was able in the wake of our pullout from Somalia to declare triumphantly, “‘The youth were surprised at the low morale of the American soldiers and realized more than before that the American soldier was a paper tiger and after a few blows ran in defeat.’” Coulter also discusses the interview in her book How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), which I talked about in 2004. But it's hard not to believe that it takes on more meaning each and every time we learn something new which shows just how devastating the Clintons were for our security.

 

I’m personally relieved Bill has once more on this occasion so kindly brought all of this to the fore. It's as painful as picking gravel out of a wound, but equally necessary. There are a lot of issues which we as a nation need to deal with collectively from the 1990’s, and one of them is the painful lesson that a nation can never rest or let down its guard or take the election of president lightly. As with the lesson of last year’s hurricane season, we must learn that when one storm ends, another is already on its way. Had we maintained a healthy, well-staffed, and alert intelligence apparatus and international posture, there’s no doubt we would have better weathered and even mitigated the terrorist storm, not to mention been able to forecast other weather systems which have been able to build steam on the horizon virtually unnoticed and ignored. Bill Clinton doesn’t deserve our praise, and he never had our enemies’ respect. No, history will not judge Mr. Clinton too kindly, I’m afraid; be that our history… or someone else’s.

 

 

RELATED: Dems take Clinton cue and follow up with more Fox abuse (after all, embarrassing questions should always be silenced as in any good dictatorship)... (h/t Michelle Malkin). How could anyone be outrageously rude to Fox News' Jane Skinner, one might ask? Well, it takes a dysfunctionate of the left, of course.

 

MORE: More trailer-trash antics live from inside the Clinton trailer library (2004). In this video Clinton says that an uptick in world opinion about him by the time he left office was more important than what the American people think. When Peter Jennings (by far no right-winger) focused on this, Clinton became visibly vulnerable and attacked ABC for being - yep - a right wing pawn. I guess all self-absorbed dictator wannabes have paranoia problems - it just comes with the territory. It's only sad we can't steam clean the Oval Office enough.
