I gather this interminable thread started off wih Samuelson's article? You do realize the man is a right wing apologist who claims to be an economist. Actually he is a barking idiot.

Sorry but Clinton did not say no, he ordered the cruise missile launch and if the CIA had not dithered about and waited too long all this would be history. Of course the Republicans said it was all to take everyone's mind off Lewinski.
