When Bush apologists play the "Clinton Card," they ain't got nothin'.

Contrary to what my local Nazi promoting, Limbaugh wannabe, radio talker would have you believe, the Huffington Post is not the "wacko liberal KOS/MOVEON.ORG site" that he would have you believe.

Case in point, it features the ramblings of Carol Platt Liebau who quotes extensively from Stephen F. Hayes' Daily Standard piece.  She/He tries to explain away Sunday's NYT article about the tortured Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi   A-Libi gave the warmongers in the White House a ficticious Iraq/al Qaeda connection -- exactly what they wanted to hear.  That gave them the wild goose chase they wanted to sell us based on intelligence they knew was not credible.

As Marty Kaplan said, also at the Huff, If that isn't fixing the intelligence to fit the policy (as the Downing Street Memo put it), what is?

Ms. Liebau seizes on Hayes' thesis that the Times article ignores Some Relevant Facts.  Specifically, that the Bush administration officials did not make up stuff on their own, but kept to the letter of the made up crap they beat out of their captives.  Somehow, this "proves" their good intent, or at least gives plausibility to their later denials.

That, and Clinton officials still claim the asprin factory in Sudan was connected to al Qaeda.

After striking pharmaceutical factories in Sudan back in 1998, the Clinton Administration justified the strikes by asserting both that they were suspected chemical weapons facilities AND that there was an al Qaeda presence there. As Hayes puts it, "These facilities, according to both Clinton administration spokesmen and senior intelligence officials, were the result of a collaborative effort between Iraqi scientists, the Sudanese Military Industrial Corporation and al Qaeda terrorists. Clinton administration officials stand by those claims today."

So someone tell me: Was the Clinton national security team "lying" too?

Seriously, is that all they got?

They weren't dead wrong go to war, kill tens of thousands, maim hundreds of thousands, destroy another country, bankrupt our own, wreck out standing in the world and completely abandon the moral authority this nation has always stood for -- because Clinton bombed a suspected munitions factory on intelligence of similar merit?

Explain to me when the Clinton administration was ever accused of torture.  And while we're at it, tell me just how many wars did Clinton sell the American people based on lies?

For The Record the reason there were no WMD's in Iraq for Bush to find, was because Clinton's containment refime and bombing campaigns wiped them out.
