Once again you've forgotten the Republicans' hysterical cries of "Wag the dog ! Wag the dog !" every time Clinton tried to do something about terrorism. Partisan politics were more important to them than was national security (blogs.chron.com...._away.html)
you see, post 911 if you purchase a plane ticket 24 hours before the flight leaves you automatically get checked in the special security line (to me this is all bullshit for i believe our government orchestrated 911-not no damn civilians!-but eff it. wag the dog is wag the dog ) (blog.wired.com....e/2007/04/)
what unresolved questions? Why then would one attack serve as a "wag the dog " and the other not? Afterall, wouldn't the attacks in Afghanistan have simply served the wag the dog purpose all by themselves if the intent was to do nothing more than generate a news cycle misdirection (as you like to believe )? Explain to me why you think that the Sudan attack was by itself somehow necessary to generate news to distract attention from the Aug 21 Lewinski flapdoodle. Explain to me why the Afghan attacks wouldn't have served the same purpose by themselves if that was the intent (eventhough the Afghan attacks took place on Aug 20 because that was the day bin laden had been present at the Zawhar Kili location) which was bombed. Do you think that maybe bin laden was somehow in cahoots and agreed to be present at Zawhar Kili so Clinton could launch his wag the dog show (www.haloscan.com....888971155/)

As for peace and prosperity.I don't think the Bosnians thought it was so peaceful, or a few others that Clinton had to wag the dog on.

The people on my political right who say I didn't do enough spent the whole time I was president saying, "Why is he so obsessed with bin Laden? That was "wag the dog " when he tried to kill him. (www.foxnews.com....97,00.html)
The clip is from the 1997 movie Wag the Dog . I was struck by how much this conversation made me think of Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Rove, Cheney, Rice and Bush talking about the reasons for a war (www.spockosbrai....004_10_01_)

4. Yes, if Bill did bomb The Sudan, Afghanisan and Iraq to get Monica off of the news, and if (as liberlas always tell us) OUR actions invite the terror response, then what was their response for Bill's attacks?

In recent years, there have been a dozen or so movies by actors that dealwith this and insist they are paramount. The most entertaining (in a campway) is Wag the Dog , perhaps the most intelligent Vanya on 42nd St andthe most interesting Branagh's Midwinter's Night. The most financiallysuccessful is Shakespeare in Love (us.imdb.com/title/tt0120709/)

Ahhhh. My bad. I thought he was talking about the "wag the dog " missile strikes he inevitibly parades about. It's been such a wind-up clockwork talking point for Daleycrock, Skooter and Fartman that I jumped the shark (www.haloscan.com....627028709/)
And, as the record has shown, the facilities weren't, in fact, WMD plants at all. Only could be POTENTIALLY converted to WMD plants. And, as we all know, it was just "wag the dog " so it couldn't be a credible point of action anyway: (www.haloscan.com....627028709/)

Asshat. When Clinton did send troops, the moron Republicans bitched and moaned "nation building" and "wag the dog ". We're not so stoopid that this tripe from "shooter" about what Gore supposedly would have done will cut it . particularly when we know exactly what the Republicans did do (www.haloscan.com....522434461/)
Even up to about 1950, music was still dominated by music publishers-people who produced written scores. That was the performance. It's when the recorded thing becomes bigger than the published thing that the tail begins to wag the dog , and people stop performing and become much more passive about music.

Clinton's impeachment was an all-consuming affair for Clinton, but not the Republican Congress. If the same holds true that by itself is an excellent reason to impeach.

Rather than proving that Goldberg is wrong, your quotes very neatly support Goldberg's argument that Elephants supported Clinton's military actions, but attacked him on his wag the dog timing (www.haloscan.com....888971155/)
The Afghan strike was definitely not "wag the dog ," it was merely poorly executed (allowing the Pakistanis to tip off Bin Laden) and ineffective. The strike on the Sudan medicine factory remains an issue with unresolved questions, whatever Richard Clarke says (www.haloscan.com....888971155/)

So now at least 2000 US soldiers were killed in the war on Iraq. A negligible number in any major armed conflict. Probably 100,000 Iraqis died because of this war. That is a less negligible number.
