LIMBAUGH: [Former President Bill] Clinton was offered [Osama] bin Laden two or three times, turned him down. Turned down Sudan. Sudan offered it. So Clinton wasn't serious about it [terrorism].

As Media Matters for America has noted, the false claim originated in an August 11, 2002, article on the right-wing news website NewsMax.com that blared the headline "Clinton Admits: I Nixed Bin Laden Extradition Offer," distorting a speech Clinton made in 2002. While he did acknowledge in a July 8 interview with CNN chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour that he mistakenly implied that the United States was offered bin Laden in that 2002 speech, at no point did Clinton say that Sudan offered bin Laden to the United States in the speech.

The bipartisan 9-11 Commission found (pdf) "no reliable evidence to support" the claim that Sudan offered bin Laden to the United States and determined (pdf) that, based on Clinton's testimony, in "wrongly recounting a number of press stories he had read," Clinton had "misspoken" in his 2002 speech. Clinton further refuted the allegation in a June 20 interview on CBS's 60 Minutes when he said: "There was a story which is factually inaccurate that the Sudanese offered bin Laden to us. ... As far as I know, there is not a shred of evidence of that."

BTW, the Sandy Berger story is also a lie, he has never taken any docs from any place in Government records. There will be another investigation of Sept. 11th after elections when Democrats control the Senate. Sandy Berger will be ask to testify before the investigation. I don't think he would want to go before the Democrats in the Senate with a felony under his belt.

Clinton was impeached but found not guilty at a cost of $40 million to tax payers when Republicans knew they did not have the votes in the Senate to impeach him. All they wanted was to make him look bad for the next elections. The impeachment of Bush is going well in the law suit filed. Who is mrs. Lewinsky? What does this person have to do with Bush and Rush both being liars?

Edit Kickinupfun , your rant includes no facts to support the rant. You prove my point well. Neocons like you love the liar and embrace the lie as the truth. Rush lied and so did Wallass.
You also seem to have problems with comprehension of what you do read, I do not watch TV, I did see the Video. I also read the text, did you? I also read the Sept. 11th report by Congress, did you?

1. It has been proven that Billy was offered Bin Laden, and if you watched the Wallace show yesterday, you would of heard his own words...OH, you dont watch Fox News Cable...right.

2.Media matters for America....lol lol, well, Clinton did say that he let the ole' boy slide through his fingers, but he put his finger up to the wind and the polls said.........no no no, so he stopped pursuing him. So he could live to fight another day against USA after he Binnie declared war on us in the Clinton administration.

3. Oh, once again Clinton had misspoken, my my my, he seems to keep putting that foot of his in his mouth. You would think he would of learned. But a liar believes his own lies and therefore keeps lying.

60 Minutes....give us all a break including yourself, they have been found to fabricate all sorts of stories out of thin air.

As for the Sandy B, story, he did take docs they have it on tape, now whether the congress or whomever will prosecute is another story. After all rank does have its privileges.

Clinton baby was IMPEACHED he was not put out of office. Remember the Dem's were in control and protected their excuse the expression "ho pres."

"He later, in a guilty plea, admitted to deliberately removing materials and then cutting them up with scissors"

Why do democrats love to sneak records out of the national archives and destroy them before the 911 commission can read them?


In Washington this morning, government officials are trying to piece together the facts of the Sandy Berger case in an attempt to understand what the former Clinton administration national-security adviser was trying to accomplish when he took highly classified documents from the National Archives.

Berger was appointed by former President Clinton to vet Clinton-administration documents before those documents were turned over to the September 11 investigating commission

i'm going to admit that Romney become no longer my first decision yet i'm going to be the 1st to admit that i'll vote for every person that is strongly professional-u . s . against 0bama. between now and November I anticipate that Romney would be accused of each vile act that liberals can dream up while the data are there for all to work out that 0bama has performed no longer something in his term in place of work to learn america or the yankee human beings.

Because they are not man enough to admit the truth that they screwed up bad. If the blame on Clinton is false then they dont have anything to fall back on and then the responsibility falls on them.

Clinton was the liar. Remember he was impeached for it? If there is proof Bush lied, which he did not, then prove it and impeach him otherwise cut it out

They consider the truth to be a necessary casualty of their war to destroy the real America and replace it with a quasi-Theocratic government based on the immoral beliefs and practices of their right-wing rape-torture-kill god.

Republicans certainly don't love Clinton, Never have, never will.

"I never had sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."

Liberal, conservative has nothingto do with it. People love to lie. And sometimes for no real reason other then just because they can.
