Expert Opinion

More "Pearls of Wisdom" fit for swine.

EX = a Has Been
Spurt = a drip under pressure

When will they quit reporting this lunacy?

Come one, MyUncle - this post really doesn't say anything. You don't counter any arguments made in the article. The post is essentially an invitation to engage in a flame war.

Personally, I'd have to agree with Clinton's position.

The whole premise of BC's Line of Interjection is false. It appears to assume that terrorism started on 9/11. 9/11 was merely our wake up call that terrorism would now be effecting us inside the US. Terrorism against the US had been a growing problem that was largely unaddressed thru out the 90's (his watch) and had been happening elsewhere spiratically prior to that.

I contend EVERYTHING he says is politically motivated AND False. (i.e. I did not have sexual relations with that woman..monica lewinsky) Why did he not do more about it when he was in charge. It is just like his claims about the economy. This recession STARTED on his watch! How can he honestly now complain about it and blame it on Bush.

If Gore had won the election would he now be touting that it is Gore's Fault? I do not think so. He'd be saying how much he feels our pain and blame it on a "vast right wing covert controversy" or some other "conspiracy theory". Some people get white padded cells for this stuff...why not him?

I don't think it appears that way at all.

You mean a mainstream politician says things that are politically motivated? No way.

All kidding aside, I think you can take a person's statements or arguments and separate them from the individual who says them. I am no fan of Clinton or any Republicrat for that matter. However, I don't see anything controversial in that rather bland article.

I don't think that Clinton is claiming that 9/11 is Bush's fault. In fact, I don't recall hearing anyone ever claim that. However, you are right - Clinton's comments are probably motivated by the very nature of the business that he has come from - politics. You seem to hate this nature of government and world events. Republicans and Democrats are rather similar in this regard. However, as much as I may despise Clinton and Bush, I must look at what they say and analyze their argument. Most of the time, their arguments crumble away pretty easily. Other times, it may make sense. This has nothing to do with motivation, however.

Politicians appear to be allergic to rational thought (on both sides).
