How the GOP Undercut Clinton's Efforts To Fight Terrorism

[Oilwellian]

Buzzflash has posted excerpts from "The Clinton Wars" recently published.

This week, BuzzFlash.com, is pleased to post two excerpts of Sidney Blumenthal's 822-page book on "The Clinton Wars."

With permission of the author and his publisher (Farrar, Strauss and Giroux), BuzzFlash is first offering a section (beginning on page 656 of the book) that details how the Republican Congress and former FBI Director Louis Freeh (who allied himself with the anti-Clinton forces) undercut Clinton's efforts to fight terrorism. The excerpt also touches upon how after the impeachment trial, pseudo-scandal mongering by the media -- including the New York Times -- helped deflect public attention from President Clinton's struggle with terrorism.

1. very important story

While Clinton was talking about the threat of Binladen and Al Quaeda, the Republicans were talking about Monica Lewinsky. When Bush was selected, he told John O'Neill to "back off" investigating his terrorist friends the Binladens and the Saudi Royals.

911 was the result.
