CIA Report Unmasks Another Clinton Lie
The Captain asks “Did Clinton Lie…” The recent CIA report contains contradictory information regarding the ‘kill order’ on Osama Bin Laden. Bill Clinton did not order an assassination of Bin Laden as he claimed in the Fox interview with Chris Wallace (Could this explain the unnatural fear the democrats have for Fox? I mean really, it isn’t that hard to make Bill Clinton lie, is it?) Here’s what Clinton said to Wallace:
“What did I do? What did I do?†Clinton said at one point. “I worked hard to try to kill him. I authorized a finding for the CIA to kill him. We contracted with people to kill him. I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since.â€
But here is what the CIA report released recently had to say on that topic:
Clinton appeared to have been referring to a December 1999 Memorandum of Notification (MON) he signed that authorized the CIA to use lethal force to capture, not kill, bin Laden. But the inspector general’s report made it clear that the agency never viewed the order as a license to “kill†bin Laden—one reason it never mounted more effective operations against him. “The restrictions in the authorities given the CIA with respect to bin Laden, while arguably, although ambiguously, relaxed for a period of time in late 1998 and early 1999, limited the range of permissible operations,†the report stated. (Scheuer agreed with the inspector general’s findings on this issue, but said if anything the report was overly diplomatic. “There was never any ambiguity,†he said. “None of those authorities ever allowed us to kill anyone.”
I wonder if the phrase “Did Clinton Lie?” will become as popular as “Is the Pope Catholic?”
So much for ‘he only lied about sex’. The Prevaricator in Chief could be our next First Lady first First Gentleman.
The Captain puts the latest Clinton lie into sad perspective. Read the whole thing.

The surprising thing is not that he lied - we know this man lies with the practiced ease of six decades of self-delusion. I’m just surprised that the CIA itself put out this report that showed just what a greasy self-aggrandizing performance that interview with Chris Wallace was.
And hear that great big hollow echo from the dead stream media about how this disproves the lying liar’s lies.

It amazes me that people would believe anything either Clinton would say.

The Clinton’s are legends in their own mind.
