BTW if you're going to mention Clinton, you should also mention
that his policies *were* successful.
At getting the USS Cole attacked?
At providing missle technology to communist China?
At giving Hollywood the script for Black Hawk Down?
At ignoring the opportunity to apprehend Osama Bin Laden? TWICE?
At erecting the wall between intelligence agencies blamed for the
inability to connect the pre-9-11 dots?
It sounds like it's OK with you that Bush not only allowed WMDs to
vanish, but actually set up the situation to ASSURE that they would.
What does Bush have to do with Clinton's foreign policy failures?
Changing the subject to evade questions isn't a particularly credible
debate tactic.
You're blaming Clinton for absurd things. I thought it was time to
lend some balance to your comments.
Clinton's foreign policy featured appeasement and using the military for
humanitarian efforts inappropriate to their abilities. This led to the
"we can get away with it" attitude partly responsible for the Cole and
Mogadishu incidents.
The missile-tech-to-China deal involved Loral Technologies, a company run
by Clinton cronie Bernard Schwartz, the single most generous donor to the
Democratic National Committee.
Clinton AAG Jamie Gorelick was the architect of the intelligence wall.
Clinton appointees also considered terrorist attacks as criminal acts
rather than acts of war, and they didn't believe they could produce enough
evidence to secure a criminal conviction of bin Laden.
Clinton's fingerprints are on each of these incidents, which is why I
mentioned them.
I could provide a similar list of GWB foreign policy failures, should
someone wish to argue that his policies "were successful". Wisely, nobody
has made such an argument that I've seen.
At least you're allowing for Bush's nonsense. You're excused from study
hall.
