Lying, that is. The man who made Monica a household word and openly sold pardons at the end of his second term ought to be more humble. He isn’t.
“With President Clinton wagging his finger at the Tea Party movement and claiming that the movement is inciting violence, it is worthwhile to remember the role the Clinton administration [played] in perpetrating and covering up numerous violent and other crimes at Waco.”
Yeah, Bad Bill, tell us about all the good you did in Waco. For the children.

NYPD aerial from a collection of 9/11 aerials obtained by ABC News via a Freedom of Information request. Funny how they wanted these but continue to hide their own videos from public view.
More than eight years later, the emotion is still almost fresh. None of those people above the strike line (fire on right) had a chance.
Indeed, as John Hinderaker says, the Bush administration response was measured and restrained. Too restrained for some tastes.

Freelance war correspondent Michael Yon doesn’t explain the use of this teepee in Afghanistan except to say that it’s a memorial to an American unit’s war dead. MY’s apparently in need of money to continue. He’s still worth it. I’m still sending him some. You should too. (Uh, actually he does explain the teepee. The unit is the 2nd ID, the "Indian Head" division.)

The old media is saying Army Maj. Malik Nidal Hasan killed twelve and wounded thirty-one at Fort Hood, northwest of Austin, today because he was being deployed to Iraq the war and "was upset about it." Sure. I’ll bet.
The FBI, always quick to put its foot in its mouth, already is saying it was not terrorism. As if they could possibly know. Sounds like jihad to me, pure and simple. Otherwise the fool would have killed himself, eh? Rather than execute and cripple strangers.
MORE: Instapundit, as usual on any big breaking news, has a good roundup. More Jihad evidence. Naturally, pathetically, it comes from a British newspaper. Well, Fox had it, too. You know, that news service Barry-the-journalism-expert hates so much. Meanwhile, Newsweak (who else?) blames the Pentagon for overstressing troops like the noble doctor. No Jihad on their radar. Surprise, surprise.
