Wag the Dog I: To divert public attention away from his involvement in the Lewinsky Affair, de facto Commander-in-Chief Clinton, Esq.—on the day Monica Lewinsky is testifying to CONgress about her extra-marital relationship with him—orders the United states Navy to launch cruise missiles at the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Khartoum, Sudan.  Ostensibly, this attack is in retaliation for the bombings of U.s. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, by international terrorist Osama bin Muhammad bin Awad bin Laden, two weeks previous.

       NOTES:

  • This destroyed 90% of that nation’s drug making capacity, and leaving millions vulnerable to otherwise treatable diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis.  Among the other benign products of the al-Shifa plant was Doramectin, an important vaccine against the Screw Worm Fly—it was Sudan’s only source against one of its worst public health hazards.
  • Deaths dues to malaria, tuberculosis and other treatable diseases dramatically increased as a result of the destruction of al-Shia.  And U.s. government never produced any evidence that al-Shifa was involved in manufacturing weapons of mass destruction.
  • As an attorney (Officer of the Court) Clinton was ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2].

       Question: Is it any wonder why they hate us?
