Ripping The President To Shreds

"The danger here is that once a president loses credibility with the Congress, as this president has through months of lies and deceit and manipulations and deceptions, stonewalling, it raises into doubt everything he does and everything he says, and maybe everything he doesn't do and doesn't say." He added: "I just hope and pray the decision that was made was made on the basis of sound judgment, and made for the right reasons, and not made because it was necessary to save the president's job."

Is this a Democrat daring to question Bush's honesty in the war on terror? Nope, it's Daniel R. Coats, then Republican senator from Indiana and now the ambassador to Germany. He was attacking Clinton and suggesting missile attacks against Al Quaeda were simply motivated by a desire to make us all forget about Clinton's personal indiscretions.

Just in case you thought it was unprecedented for someone to question the motives of the President :)
