Bill Clinton can’t get it. He really despised the military, as documented in several accounts, one being “Dereliction of Duty” by “Buzz” Patterson.

I say Bill is being Bill because he is saying the reaction to the non-repudiation by the Democrats and the call for censure by the Republicans is unfair. He raises the 4 year old campaign for Congress when Max Cleland ran. Well, that was politics and each candidate had the opportunity to fire virtual political broadsides at each other.

In the case of General Petraeus, for those who haven’t grasped it, he cannot defend himself in a political battle. The Uniform Code of Military Justice prevents the General from being disrespectful of those in leadership, and Bill Clinton certainly is one of them.

The attack by MoveOn.org was not a campaign type issue. It was, very directly, the libel of a senior serviceman, who by the UCMJ and the Hatch Act, cannot respond while in uniform. And, in this day and age, such as when General Peter Pace commented that he thought homosexuality was immoral, it doesn’t matter if you are physically wearing your uniform or not anymore, particularly for the officer corps of the services. The constant microscope of attention is 24/7 scrutiny…

So, Bill is doing what he has done: Justify squashing those who do not have the power to fight back, or in this case, those who are legally constrained from responding, and he thinks that’s just fine.

Besides, Bill is way off the mark when he says the Swift Boat people attacking jfk was wrong. Funny how Bill can discount the shipmates of jfk as lairs. He should know…because Bill is just being Bill.

Yep, and Hillary is cut from the same cloth.
