This needed its own thread, IMHO.

The same crowd that panders to the religious right by condemning "situational ethics" has difficulty finding its moral compass.

Like the Republicans who condemned Bill Clinton for firing cruise missiles at OBL.

Or criticized our actions in Kosovo and explained it wasn't 'unsupportive' to the troops?

Or criticized our involvement in Haiti as "nation-building."

Or mocked Bill Clinton for dropping a couple of bombs on an "aspirin factory" on false intelligence while defending the invasion of an entire country on even weaker and previously-contradicted intel?

There are plenty of other, smaller instances, like Henry Hyde bringing his mistress along to the hearings over Bill Clinton's lie about an affair.

Democrats do it too. Nobody's pure here, but the consequences of the pettiness of the Republican party factored in to 9/11 by distracting the president, the FBI, Congress and the American people from the growing al Quaeda threat. And it's time someone addressed that.
