Look at this Jeff, what he is up to? Sent by a friend!! CLINTON SPEAKS: So it seems that the sins of the United States' past make it impossible to judge the massacre of September 11, according to our 42d president. Americans' treatment of blacks and native Americans renders unequivocal moral judgment impossible. I must say that even I found Clinton's comments yesterday truly shocking. I always thought he was a charlatan, but often a clear-headed one. This speech suggests he has imbibed any amount of leftist nonsense. But the truly revealing fact is that he calls upon America to be introspective, to look into ourselves for the causes of this massacre. Do you think that, since September 11, he has even for a second asked the same of himself? And I don't mean as a prelude to launching a spin campaign to defend his legacy. I'm speaking of his negligence of our intelligence services, his contempt for foreign policy, his deeply counterproductive missile strikes in Sudan and Afghanistan, his allowing bin Laden to escape in 1996, and on and on. If any American deserves any guilt for laying the groundwork for September 11, Bill Clinton's name must come at the top of most lists. How fitting that he should seek to deflect this fact by casting aspersions on the country whose highest office he besmirched and disgraced.
