Clinton spin machine still working

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, the Clinton spin machine is back in the forefront of our lives. It would seem they're still working on Clinton's legacy, and aren't letting the facts get in the way.

It is a fact that the Clinton administration had several shots at Bin Laden and didn't take them.

It is a fact that the Clinton administration's withdrawal from Somalia gave strength and courage to Bin Laden as the terrorists figured the American government had no stomach for a fight.

It is a fact that the Clinton administration wanted to treat terrorists as criminals, and not terrorists.

It is a fact that Sandy Berger stole National Archive documents - something that would land you and me in jail if we did the same thing.

It is a fact that the Clinton administration slashed military spending and reduced our military strength significantly.

It is a fact that the 9/11 attacks had been in the works and under planning for years - well before George Bush became President of the United States.

But, if you were to discuss these facts with the Clinton spin machine, then you're fabricating history.

I find it highly entertaining that the same people who have no problem in divulging state secrets in the New York Times have a problem with talking about the facts of the Clinton administration.
