Clinton Fights Back, Olbermann Kick Mas Butt

By now you've most likely heard about the Chris Wallace interview with Bill Clinton on Fox News Sunday. The cowardly Wallace said email from his viewers compelled him to ask why Clinton didn't do more to shut down Osama, again forwarding the proposition or at least implication that 9/11 was Clinton's fault. That's it, hide behind your viewers, Chris.

Bill then launched into a spirited and passionate defense of his policies toward Al Quaeda and lashed out at the ridiculous ABC show Path to 9/11 and at his neo-con critics in general. The right wingnuts have dubbed it crazed. You be the judge and watch it here.

Keith Olbermann then came to Clinton's defense. See that here.

But what kills me is this: Neo-Cons are so sure Clinton should have been able to get Osama when George Bush, with the whole world behind him, and twenty thousand troops, basing rights in countries that never would have provided them before 9/11, failed. And is still failing. But Clinton, with a balky CIA and FBI, a hostile Congress, no basing rights anywhere in the region, should have taken Osama out. Should have been easy. Huh. But then again, the right wingnuts have never let logic and reason come between them and their arguments.
