Miniter revisionism: How Clinton's failures unleashed Global terror

[Q]

- Richard Miniter, author of 'Losing bin Laden', claims that Bill Clinton is 'responsible' for 9-11 because he 'ignored' the threat of terrorism.

- Democracy Now is 'interviewing' him this morning on free speech tv. As of yet...it hasn't been mentioned that he's connected with the Moonie Times and other neocon ideologues.

- This book, 'Losing bin Laden' is one more hit piece by the neocon revisionists....trying to deflect blame from those in charge at the time: the Bush* administration.

4. This is funny...listening to Goodman interview Miniter...

...he's now backtracking on the books subtitle: "How Clinton's failures unleashed global terror'. Says his publishers wrote the title. Goodman asked him if he agrees with it and Miniter stumbled on his words.

- Now he's admitting that Poppy Bush* and Junior should share in the responsibility.

- Goodman is bascially getting him to admit he's full of shit.

10. Originally it was suposed to be "The Duel: Clinton and Bin Laden's Secret

Originally it was suposed to be "The Duel: Clinton and Bin Laden's Secret War" by Simon & Schuster, but for some reason S&S dropped it, so he shopped it over to Regnery and they Freeped it up for their own release.

5. Developing Right wing book themes

To write a book to sell to rabid right wingers and other gullible find an outlandish hypothetical thesis. (Oh I don't know, maybe how all hell broke loose on Bush's watch and blame and why it's all Clinton's fault). Make stuff up, weave unrelated facts together, misquote...

Put it together in a simple format and throw in a few $20 words to make the readers feel it's educated reading, then have Scaife buy thousands copies.

Viola! A masterwork bestseller!

6. BAIT N SWITCH. Focus on CLINTON while BUSH BLOWS UP THE

planet.

Disregard such utter nonsense. Don't pay it ANY attention, and whenever it's brought up, change the subject BACK TO BUSH.

This is how you defeat lying, cheating and thieving assholes.

All you have to do is re-direct their attention to the IMPORTANT issues at hand, like the asshole in the white house.

7. Forget about that silly little report that Gary Hart presented

to the White House and they promptly shelved for the sole reason that it came from a commission that Clinton put together.

Forget about that they were told that there entire time would be spent on terrorism and Bin Laden.

Nope., No... It came from Clinton so it must be bad...

What fools. And because they chose NOT to listen to what the Clinton administration had to say and because they purposely and with intent and malice let 9/11 happen for political reasons, we're now paying over $1 billion a week plus $60 billion in bribes for the rest of the world to bail Bush's sorry ass out of Iraq.
