Liberal elites look fondly upon the administration of her husband. They argue the 1990s were America's Golden Age, years of peace and prosperity. The very opposite is true: Like the 1920s, it was a decade marked by massive political corruption, countless domestic scandals and foreign policy incompetence.
Mr. Clinton turned a blind eye to the gathering storm of Islamic fascism. The 1993 World Trade Center attacks, the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing, the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa, and the 2000 assault on the USS Cole - all of these terrorist atrocities were either ignored or treated as law-enforcement matters rather than acts of war. Even worse, the president refused Sudan's offer to hand over al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden to the U.S. - a gross failure that haunts us to this day.
Mr. Clinton presided over foreign policy disasters: Serbia was allowed to wage wars of aggression against Croatia and Bosnia for nearly four years, nothing was done to stop the genocide in Rwanda, Russia launched a criminal invasion of Chechnya with impunity, Pakistan and North Korea became nuclear powers, Iran embarked on the road to acquiring the bomb, sensitive U.S. missile technology was sold to China in exchange for illegal campaign contributions and former terrorist Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, was feted at the White House and converted into a respectable statesman. Mr. Clinton's administration frittered away the geopolitical capital amassed by the U.S. following its victory in the Cold War.
While bin Laden declared war on America, the sex president was rampaging in the White House with Monica Lewinsky - and then lied about it under oath, committing perjury (a crime) and dragging the country through impeachment. Mr. Clinton is a sexual predator. He has harassed and assaulted numerous women.
