We are, of course, amazed that our readers occasionally disagree with our brilliant and witty essays. In fact, sometimes quite a few readers think that The Outrage editors are wrong, misanthropic, idiotic, selfish, deluded, or all of the above.

Mother Outrage always told us that even the dull and the ignorant should have their say, so we've allowed space below for those dissenting opinions (and for shameless flattery).

Evidently these people that state "he" started this war, doesn't know anything about How this process works, it takes more than just "him" to start a war...This stuff was going on when Reagan and Bush was in office, now all of a sudden it is Clinton's fault. I say bull to you all, that say he started this to weasel out of this.. As for Reagan, he sold our weapons to them and guess where that money went. Maybe you people that is so bitter should learn more before opening your mouths, and be so ready to blame Clinton for the mess Bush and Reagan left behind, for someone to clean up.........

Yes I am sure he attacked the today inofensive Irak to delay the empeachement procedure. It's a crime against humanity.

Yes I believe this was a "Wag the Dog" move by Clinton to "Buy Time" so he could work on the Moderates. ---I also believe that there are people in the Govt. that want to take over this Country and Clinton is being used. He is told what to do by Trilaterals and his wife carries the messages. She was at the latest Bilderberg meeting so what does that tell everyone. Why has no one ever questioned where he was in "Russia" during the Viet War. There are several weeks that he has never accounted for...Would "Russia" let anyone in their country at that time unless they had some special reason to do so.--I don't think so.

I think everyone knows that the Prez called this attack for political purposes. But I think the American people have become so tired of politics, they are about to let a dictator get away with the murder of innocent troops, and Iraqui civilians.

Thank God for giving the Republicans in Congress some backbone. At long last they are going to proceed with what needs to be done. The impeachment of this corrupt and evil president. These Democrats that are screaming about how wrong it is for the Republicans are the same bunch that wanted to refuse funding to Bush when there were 500,000 U.S. troops ON THE GROUND in the Middle East. But what's new about liberal Democrat hypocrisy? It's their stock in trade. Impeach Clinton now! What's happening in Iraq doesn't matter. Roosevelt died during WWII and the country managed to win and survive. And self-serving phony in the White House today isn't fit to lick Roosevelts shoes.

Yes, of course I think that Mr. Clinton timed this military action to try and weasel out of his impending impeachment.

It follows his pattern of behavior to a tee. Think about it. He has never acted militarily unless he realized that he was losing public support. That his lies were missing their mark. Check his track record -- you'll see what I mean.

being ex service, our "commander in chief" is in my opinion a joke, he has cut the military to a point that is ridiculous and if you doubt that just ask anyone in the service.

Time to run him out on a rail.

People should read "The Year of the Rat," a book just released. It seems that 1996, when Clinton/Gore were re-elected, was the Chinese year of the rat. This book makes it clear that Clinton has done far worse than engage in an adulterous affair. Clinton, Gore and Hellcat Hillary have committed high treason against this nation by selling out our top secrets to the Chinese. All three of them should AT LEAST be sent to PRISON for life without parole. I would recommend that everyone read "The Year of the Rat." Yes, I do believe Clinton is conducting a "wag the dog" with Iraq to save his neck, probably at the behest of Hellcat Hillary. There is nothing Clinton/Gore and the Hellcat wouldn't stoop to in order to further their own anti-American agenda. Ironic isn't, that during the entire time they were selling American top secrets to the Chinese, they were simultaneously working to DISARM us through the Brady Bill, etc. This country is like the Titanic. We have the mistaken notion that it can never sink, that we are indestructible. We keep ignoring the fact that America is free only because our forefathers were diligent and patriotic. Hitler licensed guns and gun owners just prior to confiscation - this made it easier to identify and locate the guns when he imposed his dictatorship. Our politicians, and groups like the NRA have sold us out. As for Iraq, while Clinton is using our sons and daughters as a shield to protect his miserable career, we have Chinese communists flooding into the back door of this nation, and into the welcoming arms of the Clintons. Have you ever read about the "Trojan Horse?" The Clinton regime has wheeled a modern day Trojan Horse right into the heartland of America, and when we least expect it, the belly of that thing is going to open up to reveal a red Chinese army. Enjoy your freedom now America. I look for all hell to break loose in the not so distant future. The Clintons and Gores probably have their escape to Switzerland already planned, so they will be able to sit back comfortably and sip champagne while Americans are slaughtered. We need to flood Congress and the Senate with our phone calls - be polite, yet firm and demand immediate action. One wonders how much Gephart, et. al. have been paid by the communists. Read the "Year of the Rat."

As a former resident of Arkansas, I've been telling people for years that Clinton is capable of doing anything to gain and maintain political power. I do not disagree with the action taken against Iraq, but it should have been done over a year ago, not when it was politically convenient for the President. I'm glad that the House will be going forward with the impeachment vote. Clinton's impeachment will show the troops that the country they're fighting for still supports them and the rule of law.

Thank you for calling it as every half wit in this country should - the President of the USA, our current leader, will stop at nothing to maintain his hold on power. To hear the "average man on the street" try and defend this action just because America has once again chosen to bully a smaller sovereign country - for the benefit of its leader and his band of immoral groupies/harpies, profess to believe this individual, is just nauseating. How low we Americans have sunk - how little we care about anything but our bread and circuses.

Of course, President Clinton chose this time to initiate actions against the already suffering Iraqi people. I am also ashamed at Great Britain to see how far and fast they too have followed us into the pits of hell by pursuing their politics, American style. It is so very interesting that Tony Blair and Bill Clinton are such twins tied at the hip. By tying the fortunes of the UK with those of Bill Clinton's America, Tony Blair has shown just how far and how fast Western Civilization has sunk. As Thomas Jefferson, I too fear for my country (my Western post-Christian heritage) when I realize that God is just and that He will not be mocked!!!

God Save Us All for we will reap what we have sowed!!!

Absitively, Posulutely!!!

It seems America finally has its own megalomaniac for president. He's worthy of a starring role as the chief villain in a James Bond movie. Now; where is our own "James Bond" to take him out in an ironic fashion? May God forgive us our foolishness for allowing him the despotic reigns of power, and for our ignorance, cowardice, and tolerance of his sins.

Attacking Iraq for lying and deceit? Hmmm, the same thing he is being impeached for? Hmmmm, naw, it couldn't be true....get us involved in a conflict that we can only win by complete takeover, a military walk thru and then turn the country over to the Arab consortium???? Somehow, I think its like the last time he used military force when he was in trouble domestically. Besides,he lied before, do you really believe him now?

Article 1, section 8 of the United States Constitution gives Congress the right to declare war. The sorry fact that Presidents have been waging war, without a Congressional Declaration, has finally allowed a desperate President to abuse a power that the Forefathers knew would be abused. The Forefathers did not want this immense power in one man's hands--and they were right-on-target. We need to think long and hard about what we have done to our Constitution--It needs to be followed.

He's lied in the past to us, how can we believe anything he says. It's sad!

Of course! He did! Anyone who wrote in other wise has their heads so far up a Democrats backside they are looking out of BC's mouth. Wait! He might get ideas! Maybe if BC would read the "Mr. President" section at worldnetdaily.com, he would get an idea that the polls are tainted and spun like everything else he touches. I hope you congressmen & senators have the BALLS to show him the door. I say, "good riddance" and go to ............................................................JAIL!

THEY DON'T CALL HIM "SLICK WILLIE" FOR NOTHING!

One wonders what Mr. Clinton will pull next as a way of distracting the nation from the impeachment -- emulate Hitler's bombing of the Reichstag by having a suitcase nuke secreted somehwere in the halls of Congress and detonated in the midst of Congress voting on impeachment?

Finally! We are finally giving Saddam what he has been deserving since we left in 1991. If we had finished the job the first time we wouldn't be here. We were ridiculoulsy close to having Saddam in custody, but we stopped short, and here we are again. Clinton may have waited for the time when it would be advangagous but he did not start a military action to keep from getting impeached. If he is going to get impeached, it isn't going to be changed by the fact that we launched some missiles. I still don't believe that he should be impeached, but I am in favor of the strike. I wish people would wake up. I personally do not want to wait until there is a nerve gas incident inside of U.S. borders. All we have to do is remove ONE person to significantly reduce that threat. With a new hope for peace in Israel, things are finally starting to look up in the Middle East. We also have to remember that there are Americans all over the world who may be threatened by a terrorist attack. Don't be so selfish, and don't be such a bunch of wimps. Leave Bill alone and keep the dictators in check. Both can be accomplished by sending Kenneth Starr to Iraq to follow Saddam around for a while.

Certainly Saddam has something coming for his arrogant defiance of the UN peace terms. Did Clinton use this? Yes. He knows Saddam needs a butt-kicking. Just saving this trump to play when Bill needs it. Sad truth: this action will accomplish exactly zero, maybe less, for the international community. It will only serve to strengthen Saddam and get Bill off the hook. Clinton only knows that the Public supports whipping up on Saddam. He has no clue about objectives and how to accomplish them militarily. Unless it's the objective of saving his own skin. The fact that this opperation is sorry and ineffective is the give-away. The policy being promulgated by the nature and timing of this attack is "SOB"-Save Our Bill.

This is one outrage that I disagree with. Surely BC didn't also have Tony Blair in his pocket too? I believe the impeachment process will not be influenced in any way by the decision to take Iraq to task as "promised". War is really an unsatisfactory solution to the worlds woes but history taeches us that it was ever thus and I don't think that the process will ever change no matter how "enlightened" the World becomes.

No doubt in my mind. That was my very first reaction.

Shouldn't be surprised though. This guy has a long history of being a lying cheating deceitful scumbag.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House Speaker-elect Bob Livingston admitted Thursday that he had had affairs while he was a member of Congress, a revelation that stunned Republicans preparing to debate impeachment of President Clinton for lying under oath about a sexual liaison.

Livingston said he would remain in Congress and charged that an effort was being made to intimidate him and other Republicans on the eve of the impeachment debate.

Republicans attending a party meeting Thursday night said Livingston did not offer to resign the speakership and it was not sought. They drew a distinction between Livingston's affairs and the situation facing President Clinton.

"I have on occasion strayed from my marriage and doing so nearly cost me my marriage and my family," the Louisiana Republican said in a statement issued after Roll Call newspaper on Capitol Hill first reported the affairs. "This chapter was a small but painful part of the past in an otherwise wonderful marriage," he said. Livingston, 55, and his wife, Bonnie, have been married 33 years and have four children. He said they underwent marriage counseling. Livingston's confession came as a bombshell amid an already extraordinary week in Washington, marked by the U.S. air strike on Iraq and imminent debate on President Clinton's likely impeachment.

The House is to open debate on impeachment Friday with an eye toward votes Saturday. The vote was expected to be extremely close but was leaning against Clinton. Livingston was elected last month by Republicans to take over the speakership after the resignation of House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia.

Gingrich stepped aside under pressure from Livingston and other Republicans following the disappointing Nov. 3 elections which saw the party narrow its margin in the House by five seats to an uncomfortably tight 223-211.

Livingston's statement continued: "I know this will disappoint my many friends and supporters, but I have complete faith that my constituents and colleagues will judge me fairly," Livingston said the timing of the reports came on the eve of the House impeachment debate and said there were individuals working "to find indiscretions which may be exploitable against me and my party."

"I will not be intimidated by these efforts," he said. Livingston said he would not reveal any specifics to avoid harming those involved and would make no further statement. "These efforts will not deter me from performing my sworn duty under the Constitution as a member of Congress," he added.

Speaking to reporters, Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio, said Livingston's admission had no bearing on the impeachment vote and the situation should not be compared to charges that Clinton perjured himself in federal investigations. "There was no offer to resign," Ney said. "He didn't lie under oath, that's the difference between that man and Pennsylvania Avenue."

I find it interesting that Bob Livingston is now pleading that constituents and colleagues treat him fairly as they consider impeaching Bill Clinton. If Congress really wants fairness they should demand a federal investigation on the incoming House Speaker and force Livingston to testify under oath about his extramarital affairs or drop their case against Clinton.

The Republicans are obviously more interested in overthrowing Bill Clinton than they are in ovethrowing Saddam Hussein.

Nahh! He is bright enough to know that is what people are going to say, especially those in charge of the process. What could he possibly have to gain except time, and surely anyone in that predicament would want and end to it all as soon as possible, regardless of how it is going to turn out. I doubt it will change any minds in so far as the outcome. Whatever is destined to be the outcome will be the outcome..

Wag the Dog on live TV!!!

I think it is highly probable that Clinton used Operation Desert Fox to detract from the impeachment. I don't have a problem with that. I do have a problem justifying our being in Iraq. All we are doing is killing innocent citizens. The U.S. has always been a country that minds other peoples business. If we stayed home and minded our business the rest of the world would be better off. I'm pretty neutral when it comes to the subject of Bill Clinton. He did lie to the grand jury, but the lie was harmless. Outside of Mrs. Clinton and his daughter Chelsea, the rest of the country was not hurt by his transgression. I think the matter should be dropped. Come on America...get a life!

One can't help but question the timing and the ultimate goal of these attacks. It is a paradox that Clinton, about to be impeached for lying about Monicagate, should bomb Iraq?  Is it the wage the dog? What really bothers me is the fact that Mr. Clinton chose to bomb Iraq, on the eve of the impeachment hearings and vote in the house. The problem with Iraq has existed for years yet he chose to do it now! I have felt for some time, that Mr. Clinton has used Iraq as a trump card for his impeachment problems! 

There's no doubt in my mind that Clinton used this horrible incident for his advantage. He knows that if he can delay the impeachment vote until the 106th Congress assembles, he'll have more support. This man and his vice president should be charged and tried for treason!

Did Swell Ol' Bill go to war to avoid impeachment? Is the Pope a Catholic? Does a bear s--t in the woods? Of course he did, though he denies it. Given his track record, have we any reason to believe his denial?

They say the decision was made in November -- OK, I can even accept that. Slick Willie's dick was still caught in his zipper in November, and I DO believe this move was consciously planned and executed to take some of the impeachment heat off of him.

How the heck can you people say this is a "wag the dog" scene? Honestly, this action has been long due to Saddam and Bagdhad. Whatever happens to the people in the middle east it was brought upon them by their leader. Haven't you realized that we are just playing games with this maniac and that it was damn time someone stepped up to the bully? What use are our troops if they can't help defend powerless countries or even maybe our future? We all have families. Pray for everyone!

The impeachment trial will go on and what happens will happen no matter who is in power! Sex lives shouldn't be anyones business unless the word "NO" is used or someone is physically harmed. The fact is Clinton lied under testamony and that is wrong and yes, he should be punished for it and he will. Lets just start taking action for the American people instead of standing back and letting someone else do it for us.

Outrage, I am glad that you give the american people a voice that can be heard! Thank you!!

The bombing of Iraq was probably timed to delay the impeachment vote. But the vote should never be taken anyway. It is just being pushed by a bunch of radicals determined to pay back the Democrats for Nixon. I have never seen such proceedings as took place in that kangaroo court they called the house judiciary committee.

I dont believe that the war with Iraq and the impeachment process are related. The impeachment process is only delayed for 2 days. I dont think the president would risk the lives of his fellow Americans only to stop the impeachment process.

That we even have to wonder about his motivations says a lot. If it turns out that this was started for political gain, as there is evidense to suggest, Clinton, Gore, their wives and pets should be handcuffed and dragged to jail in the back of a panel truck like Billy Dale.

You people just don't get it. We bomb in the middle of the (Iraqi) night to remove all the maintainance men and cleaning ladies who have to work the midnight shift. Veery subtle strategy...tooo subtle for me.

What is important at the moment, people, is not Bill Clinton's impeachment, but the fact that there is a war going on . Americans need to realize that if we can't get Mr. Clinton today, then what's wrong with Monday? Or Tuesday? Let's stand behind our country now and we'll slap Bill's hand later.

I hope and pray Clinton did not launch the attack to take attention away and postpone the impeachment vote however having said that,and while I agree with the attack the timing is very suspicious.

impeach impeach all of washington. not only clinton should get it but also all of the house. they act just like the little kid that took his ball home.

When B.C. was elected to be "President," I was very surprised because I didn't think people would want someone who dodged the draft for our president. I personally think it was awful the way they handled all the sex stuff. I think it was very degrading for Hillary. I think they should let him finish his term.

I agree ! But the worst is that America seems to like it!!!

I think Clinton and his cronies are COMMUNISTS and that the government of America has been SOCIALIZED!

Is everybody retarded except me? Anyone who thinks BC did this to stop the impeachment process has their head so far up a Republicans behind they are looking out his mouth. The House votes for impeachment? So. Doesn't mean he's leaving office, or being forced out. Do any of your readers (or you yourself Outrage) understand the Constitution? What am I talking about? Even if impeached a 2/3 majority in The Senate is needed to force him from office. Does anyone understand that this will NEVER happen? Do you understand BC doesn't need a diversion and never did?

Just because a man lies about extra marital affairs does not make him the 'devil' your readership thinks he is. I guess it was just my imagination the the weapons inspectors leaving Iraq and submitting a report the U.N. (not Clinton)stating they couldn't do their job. They must be in BC's pocket. Must be all the Joint Chiefs are all in Clinton's pocket too. Let's not forget George Bush, Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter who all backed Clinton in this action and THE TIMING OF IT! They must all be Clinton supporters also. Boy, are you all paranoid or what? Frickin' morons more like....

To those who continually say "who would'nt lie about an affair to protect their family" I say to you some of us still have morals and would not be in the position to have to lie under oath. I for one love my wife and took a vow that I WILL keep. If I would'nt keep that vow, what vow would I keep. If President Klinton would not keep the vow to his wife, what makes anyone think he would keep any vow or oath to ANYONE!!!

Of course the Coward started lobbing the missles because he knew he would be impeached tomorrow. I am so proud of the Congress and the Senate as well for not buying this one!

I think that Clinton started a war with Iraq just to divert attention from his upcoming impeachment trial. I think they need to get him out of the White House as soon as possible! He is an embarashment to the office of President and has made a mockery of our judicial system and constitution.

The man is an amoral coward and deserves to be thrown out of office, the sooner the better. He is not fit to be dog catcher much less president.

I THINK BILL CLINTON DID START A WAR TO DELAY IMPEACHMENT VOTE IN CONGRESS. IALSO THINK HE IS MORALLY BANKRUPT!!!!!!!

Really,

At least in "wag the dog" no one actually died in the fake war. In this version inocent people die so the Zipper Bill does not have to face the music.

I actually don't care what Bill does or with who when it come to sex but I really care what he does when it comes to war.

He says he launched the attack on Iraq because Saddam uses weapons of mass distruction and uses them again and again. Sorry but is that not what Clinton is doing right now. Are not cruise missiles weapons of mass destruction ?

I just don't but it. I feel that starting this new conflict so as to avoid the impeachment vote is an impeachable act.

I did not write the following, but I wish I did. As a former Army Officer, I can concur with what this other Officer says! A retired Army Officer's letter to Clinton ===========================

Dear Mr. President:

It's not about sex. If it were about sex, you would be long gone. Just like a doctor, attorney or teacher who had sex with a patient, client or student half his age, you would have violated the ethics of your office and would be long gone. Just like a Sergeant Major of the Army, Gene McKinney, who though found not guilty, was forced to resign amid accusations of sexual abuse. Remember the Air Force General you wouldn't nominate to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff because he freely admitted to an affair almost 15 years before, while he and his wife were separated? Unlike you, he was never accused of having a starry-eyed office assistant my daughter's age perform oral sex on him while he was on the phone and his wife and daughter were upstairs. If it wereabout sex, you should be subjected to the same horrible hearings that Clarence Thomas was subjected to because of the accusations of Anita Hill. The only accusation then was that he talked dirty to her; He didn't even leave semen stains on her dress.

No, it's not about sex. It's about character. It's about lying. It's about arrogance. It's about abuse of power. It's about dodging the draft and lying about it. When caught in a lie by letters you wrote, you concocted a story that nobody believed. But we excused it and looked away. It's about smoking dope, and lying about it. "I didn't inhale," you said. Sure, and when I was 15 and my buddies and I swiped a beer from an unwatched refrigerator, we drank from it, but we didn't swallow. "I broke no laws of the United States," you said. That's right, you smoked dope in England or Norway or Moscow; where you were demonstrating against the U.S.A. You lied, but we excused it and looked away.

It's about you selling overnight stays in the White House to any foreigner or other contributor with untraceable cash. It's about Whitewater and Jim and Susan McDougal and Arkansas, Gov.. Jim Guy Tucker and Vincent Foster and Jennifer Flowers and Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey and nearly countless others.

It's about stealing the records from Foster's office while his body was still warm and putting them in your bedroom and "not noticing them" for two years.

It's about illegal political contributions. It's about you and Al Gore soliciting contributions and selling influence at Buddhist temples and in the same Oval Office where Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt led their countries through the dark days of wars that threatened the very existence of our nation. But we excused you and looked away.

It's about hiding evidence from Ken Starr, refusing to testify, filing legal motions, coaching witnesses, obstructing justice and delaying Judge Starr's inquiry for months and years, and then complaining that it has gone on too long. The polls agreed. Thank goodness that Judge Starr didn't read the polls, play politics or excuse you and look away. He held on to the evidence like a tenacious bulldog. Your supporters say that you've confessed your wrong doings and asked for our forgiveness. Listen, what you said on TV the night you testified to the grand jury was not a confession. Confession in the face of overwhelming evidence is not a confession at all. Not that it would make a lot of difference. A murderer who contritely confesses his crime is still a murderer. When your "confession" didn't sell, even to your friends, you became more forthcoming.

Maybe someday you'll confess more, but probably not. You've established such pattern of lying that we can't believe you anymore. Neither can your cabinet, the Congress or any of the leaders of the nations of the world.

When a leader's actions defame and emasculate our country as profoundly as yours have, it's no longer a personal matter, as you claim. It's no longer a matter among you, your family and your God.

By the way, I don't believe for a minute that Hillary was unaware of your sexual misadventures, abuses of power and pattern of lying. She has been a party to your wrong doings since Whitewater and Jennifer Flowers just as surely as she lied about the Rose law firm's billings and hid the Vincent Foster evidence in your bedroom for two years. Why? So she could share in the raw power that your office carries. The two of you probably lied to Chelsea, but that is a matter among you, your family and your God.

Remember the sign over James Carvill's desk during the 1992 campaign? It said, "It's the economy, stupid! Place this sign over your desk: "It's about character, stupid!" No, it's not about sex, Mr. President. If it were, you would be long gone.

It's about character; but we have to live with your filth, lies and arrogance for a while longer. Your lies, amorality and lack of character have been as pervasive as they have been despicable, so we have no reason to believe that you will quietly resign and go away. You'll count on half truths and spin doctors to see you through, the country be damned. It has always worked before. We excused you and looked the other way. No more, we've had enough. You betrayed us enough. You have made every elected official, minister, teacher, diplomat, parent and grandparent in the country apologize for you and explain away your actions. Now go away, and let us show them that our country was not without morals. It was just that you were. Let us show them that America was not the problem. William Jefferson Clinton was.

Go away, Mr. President. Leave us alone. And when you leave, know that your legacy to the United States of America will be a stain on the Office of the President that is as filthy as the stain on Monica's dress. It will take a lot of scrubbing to make it clean again.

>From a Retired Army Officer

Label me as nonserious Tom. I for one believe this attack was entirely for the reason of avoiding impeachment and the worst is he may get away with it. God help us.

To Scott Mosley who stated "who cares if he got a BJ". The troops and their parents and families who were deployed to Bosnia --remember the telephone call about that while receiving a BJ. If you were in their place would you care whether the blood/oxygen was in his head or elsewhere?

I feel that the attack in the middle east was a "Wag the Dog " senario. I am so outraged my stomach has been hurting and I am in need of Zantac daily. If I had the power and authority to do so I would have BC shot at sunrise for treason.

Of course he did! Any damn fool with one eye and helf sense can see that. If this Arkansas s***-head was as tall physically as he is morally he could stand on tip-toe and still not be able to kiss a chicken's ass. He would climb a tree 80 feet tall just to tell a lie when he could stand on the ground and tell the truth.
