The Clinton Legacy

Ron Peacock
Harlem, NY (PN)

Bill Clinton - China over his shoulderSince his term of office expired, Slick Willie has worked feverishly to cast a good light on his Presidential legacy. 'My Life', the impeached Presidents biography, is just another attempt at rewriting history and casting a favorable light on the draft-evading former Chief Executive. The 1008 page book is just another long winded, narcissistic pilgrimage through the former (de-barred) attorney's revisionist recollection.

The true Clinton legacy has yet to be played out. Clinton left us the frothing caldron of poverty, atrocities and hostilities of the Balkans, the never-ending cycle of bloodshed and chaos of Somalia, the turmoil of Haiti, the failed peace talks between Israel and the world's longest surviving terrorist, Yasser Arafat and he personally may have rejected an offer that would have brought the future 9-11 mastermind, Osama Bin Laden, to American justice. Clinton, with the help of presidential hopeful John Kerry, crippled our National Intelligence organizations, reduced our standing military personnel and equipment by over thirty percent and approved the transfer of advanced nuclear technology to Red China. "Bubba" also managed to shield and finance North Korea's nuclear weapons program (with the helpful statesmanship of Madeline Al-not-too-Bright and a former peanut farmer from Georgia), but through it all he managed to maintain French goodwill and appreciation for the USA; well … as much as the French ("nous détestons tout!") can show goodwill or appreciation of anything!

Readers, we have felt the sting from a number of these dismally flawed policies, and rest assured, the Clinton legacy will have much more serious repercussions in the not too distant future.
