Clinton violated US law!?

Question

"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."
—Former President Bill Clinton, Sept. 24, 2006

Former President Clinton has now admitted to violating US LAW 2333 which prohibits the authority of the President to personally order the assassination of a foreign citizen. Clinton should be arrested immediatly and tried. We know these liber-nazi fascist loving, jihad worshiping freaks and Democraps would want George Bush tried for the same thing. Clinton is a war criminal.

Answer 1

Clinton is a war criminal AND a whore criminal!

Not to mention all the other stuff he a Hillary have been accused of...

Answer 2

Yes, if what he said was true, he broke the law. He's lied so many times he was probably lying here again. However, if he did in fact authorize UBL's assassination, then give the man some credit. It was justified. Same thing if Bush has authorized it now. Are you people naive enough to think this has never been done? The problem now is that there are too many treasonous scumbags in high places leaking this info.

The presidents job (whether Dem or Rep) is to protect our sorry butts from people like UBL. They have to make these impossible decisions-and live with the personal consequences, (and the political ones - IF the info is leaked). Tough job.

I'm not a fan of Clinton and I don't like the fact we're at war. But I would much rather have a President who WILL do what it takes to bring down the terrorists who mean to kill us. So Kudos to slick Willy if he finally broke a law for an honorable reason.

Answer 3

There is no US LAW 2333. The assassination ban is in Executive Order 12333, passed by Reagan in 81. As an Executive Order, it can be superceded by future executive orders, which are not necessarily made public. The ban on assassinations in EO 12333 is basically a restriction on assassinations unless the President decides otherwise and writes up an executive order to that effect. It helps to reduce deniability of assassinations.

So Clinton probably did not break any laws.

Answer 4

Fact: 38 days after Clinton was sworn in al Quada attacked the World Trade Center. He did not visit the twin towers that year even though four days after the attack in was just across the Hudson River in New Jersey talking about job training. His only mention of the attack was a sentence in his radio address about the economy (is this what 'it's the economy stupid' means)?

During his tirade with Chris Wallace he said "no one knew that al Quads existed' in October 1993 when he was though of as a terror financier.

Fact: In 1994 Khalid Shelkh Mohammed (who whould later plan the 9/11 attacks) launched "Operation Bojinka" to down 11 U.S. planes simultaneously over the Pacific. A Filipina police officer foiled the plot. The sole American response: increased law-enforcement cooperation w/the Philippines.

Fact: In 1995 al Quada detonated a 220 pound car bomb outside the Office of Program Manager in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killing five Americans and wounding 60 more. The FBI was sent in.

Fact: In 1996 al Queda bombed the barracks of American pilots patrolling the 'no-fly zones" over Iraq, killing 19 again. Again, the FBI responded.

Fact: In 1997 al Quada consolidated its position in Afghanistan and bin Laden told on Arab TV network: If someone can kill an American soldier, it is better than wasting time on other matters" No response from the Clinton administration.

Fact: In 1998 al Quada simultaneously bombed U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224, including 12 U.S. diplomats. Mr. Clinton ordered cruise-missiles strikes on Afghanistan and Sudan in response. Here Mr. Clinton's critics are wrong: The president was right to retaliate when America was attacked, irrespective of the Monica Lewinsky case.

The above are excerpts from the WALL STREET JOURNAL, September 27, by Richard Miniter.

I say, let the facts speak for themselves.

Answer 5

Oh that's funny! Clinton is a war criminal. That's a knee slapper considering Bush got us into a war in Iraq that everyone knows now can't be won. And also as I remember, Bush stood at ground zero, and promised America that we would visit Osama soon, and that was more than five years ago. So who got closer, huh?. A foreign citizen, who just so happened to kill thousands of Americans. Like Bush, having more American troops killed everyday. So who's the war criminal here?

Answer 6

so he shouldn't have tried to kill Osama then? and you're calling him basically a terrorist?

why don't you go make a citizens arrest and tell me how that goes...

I think after 9-11... about 99 percent of the country would be very happy to see Osama dead, regardless of how it is done... and most wish that Clinton would have succeeded

Answer 7

Please give a link if you can I searched -U.S. LAW 2333- all I got was a commerce law.
I have heard of the law you are talking about but doesn't it only apply to heads of state?
That was the first thing that crossed my mind too when I heard him say that.

Answer 8

bush should be arrested too, all he has done, is lie and hurt this country, and its citizens. and still is. bill clinton was our best president ever, get over it.

Answer 9

Clinton is a harmless loverboy except when he takes that "thing" out of his pants. Then he becomes a terror. What a president! And Bush doesn't even know it is in his pants.

Answer 10

There are a whole bunch of them that should be in jail. The problem exists in my country as well. Secrecy breeds criminals

Answer 11

yep he sure is he is also alot of other things like a cheater and a liar oh yeah and a democrat so he wasnt smart enough to keep his mouth shut so yes i think he should be tried and convicted not for violating the law but for being stupid
