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).

Hah! This is simply transparently inflamatory rhetoric without any thought or background information given.

Remember, it's not whether he had sex with Lewinsky that's the main problem. The Paula Jones case was for sexual harassment. That _is_ illegal, and it's a completely different can of worms from the "did he? didn't he" of the Lewinsky affair.

Your analysis is sophomoric and irrational. Perhaps you are too busy selling insurance, or whatever, to learn the facts. We will not attempt to teach you. You used to have some good ideas and we sent you some $ a few months ago to support you. We now regret that. As for those who have commented above, most seem to get their facts from Rush Limbaugh and the like. Fortunately, the country is strong. It has survived Joe McCarthy, Pat Robinson and others of their ilk. We will survive you and your idealogs But we don't need to listen to you. I am off to unsubscribe.

even when you think he can't stoop any lower he up and surprises you. committing crimes against humanity in order to save his political hide is so beyond the pale who would have ever thought it possible? even more amazing are the sycophants in the media and on the left who continue to support him. they must think there is something more at stake than just his political viability for them to back him so. i wonder how it feels to sell your soul for the sake of political advantage.

Even someone with Chris' obviously limited perspicacity should be able to see that if Clinton is allowed to lie under oath, knowingly submit false affidavits and obstruct justice, then the rule of law will be rendered meaningless. Perjury is a felony. If Clinton is allowed to go unpunished then how can any future perjurer be fairly punished? To ruthlessly attack a sovereign state in order to divert attention from his domestic crimes is further proof, as if it were needed, of Clinton's total lack of morals and complete unfitness to hold public office. Only the most brain-dead sychophantic liberal could fail to see this. The biggest problem in America today is that far too large a percentage of the population fit exactly into that category.

Oh, I forgot to mention: I'm not just sitting here outraged. I'm also making a donation to the Libertarian Party (www.lp.org), which DOES believe in Constitutionally-limited government!

Yes, I'm outraged at Clinton. But I'm also outraged at the Republican leadership. If they had any courage, principles, or true commitment to Constitutionally-limited government, they'd have immediately called Congress into session to:

1) Pass an emergency bill requiring the Administration to cease the attacks and remove American troops from "harm's way."

2) Vote for the 4 articles of impeachment referred by the committee.

3) Take up a fifth article of impeachment charging Clinton with gross abuse of power for launching the attack without Congressional authorization and for purposes of obstructing justice.

It is unbeleivable that some of us just refuse to beleive the obvious corruption of this president and the ones pulling his strings. These events are the culmination of many problems we are faced with. It is ridiculous how many people just do not think for themselves and follow the national press to our nations peril. I do beleive people will wake up, but will it be in time???

Impeach and get rid of the son of a bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Mr. President. When I thought that you could not stoop any lower to avoid impeachment, you have by starting a war the day before the vote. Mr. Clinton, you have now joined the ranks of modern history's worst despots to divert attention from your political problems. Hitler declared war on the Jews. Mussolini invaded Ethiopia and used poison gas. Stalin and Saddam Hussein conducted numerous purges of "traitors" and "spies". Innocent people were killed by these men, innocent people are now being killed in Iraq. What is next Mr. Clinton? Are you going to order in ground forces of the military you loath to die in the hot sands for you? How much innocent blood are you going to spill before you finally yield to the inevitable vote of impeachment?

Fnaly the president does the right thing. But he does it for all the wrong reasons. He has started a war for his own political gain. Slick wilily works for himself and only himself as always.

I can't understand why you would think Clinton would use this conflict as a way to avoid an impeachment vote. He already said that he would not resign, and he certainly is resolute enough to go through a trial where others might deem the details to be "embarrassing." I also can't understand why you can't see the clear conflict of interest that Republicans present when they vote a partisan line to impeach the President. I am outraged that they are using their political maneuvering to bring this issue to an impeachment vote. Their political gambit is costing the US credibility - and don't even begin to think that the world views Clinton in a different light because he didn't admit to a sexual affair. This Capitol Hill back-stabbing has gone on long enough. If Clinton is impeached, then every single Congressman and Senator should be scrutinized for publicly-told lies, and outed from office. This is ridiculous how far the Republicans have taken their transparent agenda.

It's always been completely obvious to all but the most dim-witted i.e. liberals, that Clinton is s criminal charlatan whose only concern is for his is own political viability. Now this criminal has surpassed his previous record of venality and corruption by engaging in crimes against humanity. To order the destruction of Iraq and the murder of its citizen to divert attention from his political problems is a new low even for him. The Republicans MUST proceed with impeachment and a trial must be held in the Senate. Clinton's hideous crimes must be punished.

All the time, I'm saying to myself, "Clinton can't top this" and sure enough, he does and normally, very soon after. This latest episode of The Bill Clinton Show amazed me in that I'm surprised that he couldn't wait until prime time in the evening to begin his bombing spectacular. Every day that Clinton remains in office makes me more ashamed and insulted to be an American. For the remainder of Clinton's term, the American flag on top of the White House should be replaced with a Jolly Roger. Save America, Impeach Clinton!

well old sick willie had two choices. One. Bomb a foreign country or choice two. invoke President dictatorial Powers as approved under Executive Order #11490. the order disbands congress supends the constitution and invokes marshall law..

I agree with your editorial. Even today's Wall Street Journal lends support to this view. And you are right about the riot-free college campuses. Quite a contrast to the Vietnam War era.

let's all just get drunk and SCREW

One more thing I forgot, you misanthropic apes. Maybe Clinton did bomb Iraq and start this war just to avoid impeachment. But then, I guess you believe OJ was framed?

i usually agree with what you have to say but on this i must dissent. i don't believe clinton is using this situation to employ a delaying tactic only because i believe it impossible to involve everyone in his circle in such a conspiracy. he simply does not inspire such loyalty in his staff.

Although I general agree with The Outrage, and find it insightful, I have to say this: I find it's readership (with a few exceptions) to be the most paranoid, hateful, misguided, herdlike apes who ever cursed the word human by greedily grasping it. I find fault in every single one of you who voted for Clinton in either '92 or '96 and now tear into him as raging hypocrites. I despise all of you who voted in '92 or '96 period. If you really had such a strong objection to him at the time, you should have been more active. I wouldn't stoop to spitting on the lazy morons who didn't vote in both elections but now find Clinton's actions so disgusting. What about me, you say? Well, I can't vote. I'm a minor, and, due to those who voted and those who represent, I have been denied the right to vote over an arbitrary man-defined line drawn in the river of time.

I hope you whine hypocrites burn in the pits of the hell you profess to believe in.

The US is now the world's worst terrorist nation, controlled by criminal politicians and aliens. Iraq is no threat to us and never has been. We're killing civilians for Israel.

The idea that the British military is somehow in league with the president of the United States to avoid a meeningless vote is absurd. I think every one on this web site owes the British government and the People of the United Kingdom an apology. I can't believe the inbreading of Americans has reall destroyed our brains so much that we should fall for such a stupid partisan tactic. Really you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

First degree murder? Yes, and by another's hand to keep the blood off of his own. The murdered Iraqis deserve justice, and the President jail. (From governor's mansion to White House, and jail - still in public housing!)

I think you're full of it on this one. The situation in Iraq seems to be very different now than other times in the last 18 months.

Perhaps the timing was polically motivated. I would not deny that possibility. But I also think that it was high time we sent Saddam Hussein a clear message that we will not tolerate his refusal to comply with the United Nations weapons inspections.

Personally I wish this whole impeachment thing would just blow over and that they could get back to the more serious business of government.

I am so happy that most of you think the way you do. I don't hover over the television like most of you because it sickens me to hear what i hear. I take the facts and i form my own opinion. What Clinton did, that was wrong on a certain level yes, undoubtedly. I feel for Hillary Clinon and Chelsea Clinton. But in no way, does his sexual blunder effect what he does as president. Saddam has been a problem for years, and in now way wil that ever change unless he is bombed. So according to most of you people out there, Clinton did it because of impeachment, right? Well i suppose he called Saddam himself and asked him if he could start trouble again, and not let the UN inspectors in and refuse to cooperate completely. Then he called the UN and said hey, look my impeachment hearing is tommorrow, ya think mabey we could start a war on iraq? Then he called England and said to them, you know, just to make it look better for me, you think mabey you could bomb with us and then address the world first? For the majority of you out there who really think that he did this purley to postpone his impeachment process are not thinking clearly. There are alot more people to consult in this matter. I'm sure the UN really allowed this to let him stay in office. Saddam is just being an idiot because the media is too opionated and most repbulicans have made our country appear weak and he is taking advantage of this opportunity. Also, don't think for a minute that most other countrys laugh at us. France, they think we're a joke! Why? because it is a common practice to have a mistress and it affects them no way pollitically. Everyone is human and at least i know the president is human and not superhuman. No one is perfect. What do we think of Kennedy? That he was a great president and had potential to be one, at least that is what they teach to our younger generations, then as they grow up what do they find out as they grow up? That he was no saint! He has his many issues with extramarital affairs! Why don't we deal with the more important and unfortunate issue of our men out there in Iraq, that is by far more important than any sexual problems with the President. If only the media and the public would let him do the job he is supposed to do right now. I think he has done a fine job as President aside from his sexual troubles that has nothing to do with his ability to govern this nation.

I enjoy reading your outrages. Usually you are right. In this case, however, I think you make incorrect assertions and assumptions, the most important one being that the situation was fundamentally the same at the time of the commencement of bombing as it had been in the months before. The United Nations negotiated an agreement from Iraq several weeks ago that Iraq openly broke.

In all your hand-wringing and moaning, you forget that Iraq's leadership invaded another sovereign country, used poison gas on its own minorities, and, if left to reaslize its own plans, would wreck great mischief in the Middle East.

If you're going to complain about the way Iraq is being treated, then you must necessarily give us some workable solutions to this situation, instead of just being a knee-jerk complainer.

Despite his many faults, Clinton has demonstrated a remarkable ability to compartmentalize his personal life and his work as president. I don't believe his action against Iraq has ahnything to do with what is presently happening to him in this country.

broke.

Who cares if he got a BJ or not, it is not effecting the way he runs the country. The economy is doing fine and there is food on most tables. Would anyone else have told the truth being in his situation, doubtful. As far as Iraq goes, we should just nuke them and get it over with. All the money spent on deployments, food, transportation, upkeep on jets in the harsh environment could have been easily spent on one nuke and saved more American lives.

Give Clinton a fair trial then hang the guilty $@#@^&B%^@%

I would agree that Pres. Clinton could be seen as using Iraq as a reason to protect himself from the impeachment process except for three points: 1. A well respected Republican, William Cohen, is Secretary of Defense, and his agreement to the bombing of Iraq was necessary before President Clinton could authorize the bombing. 2. The British are also involved in the attack, and the British really would have no reason to protect Pres. Clinton from the impeachment process. 3. Saddam Hussein is notorious for using U.S. domestic politics for his own benfit, and I may add that he keeps misjudging the will of the American people. I live in Europe and I can see the weak willed Europeans trying to have it both ways, the appearance of being against weapons of mass destruction (WMD) while selling Saddam the parts to construct them, and at the same time decrying the loss of innocent lives brought on by U.S. weapons (they forget to mention the British involvement). The U.S. can only count on the English speaking countries in any of its alliances. Pres. Clinton realizes this, and he proceeds along with these acknowledged allies on the search for world peace.

The _Rocky Mountain News_ has these words on the headline: "We had to do it." with Clinton's ugly freeking picture underneath these words. All I have to say is, don't EVEN say we, when it's his dick that started the entire problem to begin with. If one American, one innocent Iraqi is wounded, I say we cut off his bone.

Bill Clinton may very well survive impeachment, but after his reign, will this country survive the shame and hypocrisy his legacy leaves it? Will we ever be the same? Will we ever be able to hold our heads so proudly high again in the midst of the rubble he leaves behind? I think not! It's a very sad chapter in the history of our great nation.

I think you're full of it on this one. The situation in Iraq seems to be very different now than other times in the last 18 months.

Perhaps the timing was polically motivated. I would not deny that possibility. But I also think that it was high time we sent Saddam Hussein a clear message that we will not tolerate his refusal to comply with the United Nations weapons inspections.

Personally I wish this whole impeachment thing would just blow over and that they could get back to the more serious business of government.

One rage stated: " ... And the fact that the American people don't seem to care (although I suspect "loaded" questions and otherwise biased polling methods are being employed, to make it seem as though people care less than they really do" Suppose we address just what the "polls" are. The handlers decide what they want the sheeple to think/believe. They write up a "poll report" and send it out to the public. Since sheeple have a herd instinct, they must necessarily agree with the polls, since they don't want to be "outside the pale". After all, that's what everybody "feels is right" so it must be "right". But, remember, "Everybody knows the earth is flat", but it was round just the same. The only thing a poll "proves" is that there are idiotic nincompoops out there who will believe anything their handlers tell them to believe.

Bob didn't give me a chance to say anything, so here is my view: Having oral sex is not an impeachable offence. If I had an affair with another woman and I was asked about it, I would lie like some of these people are writing here. Why would I confess to having oral sex with another woman only to look forward to a divorce, losing my children, losing all my savings, losing my home, maybe a car, being embarrased in front of my friends and maybe losing my job. Hell yes, we would all lie about it. It was wrong to do but that should have stayed between him and his wife. Maybe he should answer to IF he put the Country at risk by having oral sex, but most of us would just laugh. The biggest problem now is how to get this witch hunt to stop and let him do his job. Did he bob Iraq to save his job? How ridicules can people think? If some of these people writing here think Saddam does not deserve to be bombed, then let them thank God that I am not president because I would have gone into the heart of Iraq to find that scumbag and removed him long ago. Oral sex is not an impeachable offence, so leave the guy alone and back him and out troops until they come home and then do your thing. In the meantime, be an American and back your president in time of need, and NO, I did not vote for him, but I am glad that he is now here on this day, in time of need. Just remember this, we could be much worse off if wimpy Carter was still in office.

This Jerk will do anything to stay in power, including sending the military out to delay the inevitable impeachment. The military that he abhors!!

Impeach the S.O.B. NOW!

How can anyone be surprised what Clinton does? He does not have a conscience, nor does his wife nor most of the House and Senate. I don't have to riot though, God will punish this nation for being whimpy and not standing up for Him. alice,

This attack is empeachable. The man is a traitor and so are the traitors in the Democratic Party wh defend him.

Perhaps all of you outraged people who know exactly what Clinton thinks and what his motives are could tell me what one possibly has to do with the other. Are the congress critters required to stand around with their collective thumb up their ass and suspend all business while the US leaves a few well deserved missles in Iraq? Get real!

I think the president has done all he can. He was going to bomb Iraq in November. Then they promised to follow the rules so the President backed off. He did not want to bomb, neither did I. He told them that this is the LAST CHANCE. Just Tuesday he got the report that Saddam was again not following the rules. He had told him he would bomb if the rules are not followed, he did not follow the rules. The weekend also starts the religious holidays for muslims. WE DO NOT WANT TO START BOMBING DURING THAT TIME, WE ALSO DO NOT WANT TO WAIT UNTIL IT IS OVER TO START BOMBING. They would be able to rebuild many weapons of mass destruction in that time. He had no choice but to protect the world. He is doing a good job. I would like to know how many of the 70% of mem that DO CHEAT ON THEIR WIFES WOULD ADMIT IT. Thats what I thought, not very many. He should never been asked. If we are going to ask, lets go down the list of the House and Senate and see who clean their closet is. They continued for the last couple years trying to find something on him. Until now have not found ANYTHING. Get ready people, the flood gates are open. We will rip apart every person that wants to become a President from now on. We will end up with bible pounding unquailfied people.

I need some way to forward your Outrages to non-subscribing family members.

New subject: Yes, it would appear that klinton has once again outmaneuvered the good guys.

First off, NO, Mr Clinton nor any responsible person put lives in Danger just to avoid an impeachment. Waiting for Butler's paper's to arrive , to remove any doubts on his decision, proves to me that he gave it a fair decision. He could have bombed in November and not recall our plane's back, but he did, in all fairness. No matter which way we look at this problem, Mr Clinton will lose. By the way, I did not vote for him, but I will support my president in time of need. As Mr. Tony Blair said today: I am convinced that Mr. Clinton's problems at home did not have any bearing on this decision to bomb, and I fully support him.

you are nuts.

impeach; try; convict; remove; hang. quickly!

Slaves in Paradise:

"As far as the bombing I personally am against all forms of violence and the timing is pretty suspect. However, I don't think anybody except those in the elite circle of knowledge in the White House can make judgements on what really is going on with Iraq and why the bombings occurred when they did. We'll never really know and it could be totally in the right or the wrong. "

Right. I need the WH to tell me about a country they have allowed us to ride roughshod over us for 6 years.

The man who wrote the above is a typhical liberal slave. Massah gonna tell him how to tink and where to hoe de cotton. De massah gonna tell me when to protest......

CLINTON DID WHAT WAS LONG OVER DUE FOR IRAQ. THE FACT THAT HE DID IT THE DAY BEFORE THE SENATE WAS GOING TO VOTE ON HIS IMPEACHMENT WAS JUST BAD TIMING. OR GOOD TIMING IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THE FACTS. CLINTON IS NOT WINNING ANYTHING BY THE BOMBING. HE CAN STILL GET HIS ASS IMPEACHED. I'M OUTRAGED AT THE MILLIONS SPEND ON THE FACT REPUBLICANS DON'T LIKE CLINTON IN CHARGE. THE DIRTY BUMS ACT LIKE THEY NEVER GOT A B. J. FROM SOMEONE OTHER THAN THEIR WIFE. THEN LOOK AT CLINTON LIKE HE IS THE FIRST POLTICAN TO EVER LIE ABOUT GETTING ONE. NOW THE REPUBLICANS WANT HIS HEAD ON A STICK. GIVE ME A BRAKE.

I have previously opposed impeachment because I do not think the offenses are im- peachable (rather they should be tried and punished as for any private citizen). This war, however, is a blatantly callous abuse of power and deserves an impeachment in its own right.

I DONT THINK HE STARTED SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN BREWING FOR YEARS..HE SIMPLY RESPONEDE TO HUSSEINS LACK OF COOPERATION..

Did the Israelites overthrow King David when he sent Uriah to battle knewing he would probably be killed while he made out with Bathsheba...poor Clinton..he thought with his putz instead of his head..so do most of us...women included.

The Iraquis have been baiting the US a long time with their refusals to dismantle their organic agents of war. The republicans are the ones who need an asskickin', starting with Homewrecker Hyde and the sissified racist Bobby "Cool Whip" Barr." Are we supposed to hold our foreign policy hostage to a bunch of mealy mouthed, dolts and hypocrites? No, you have it all wrong, which is pretty typical. The third option is he will never be impeached because the GOP does not have the fricken votes in the Senate, or do numbers frighten or evade your hateful little minds.

Doubtful that he bombed Iraq just to postpone the vote on impeachment. First of all, if you know anything about how the government works, he can't just send the bombs by himself!! Also, Hussein refused access to the UN inspectors early in the week, which triggerred our long overdue response. So, while we may not approve of Bill's lying about his lack of self control with women, I don't think that he can be faulted for this action, other than it should have been done years ago!!

Hell yes!

Clinton will do ANYTHING to stay in power. What's next? A "terrorist" ct in New York or LA?

Martial law is just around the corner if he starts REALLY fearing for his job.

I want to thank Outrage for helping us to look a perspective of the situation. Can we know what Clinton thinks and feels? We can only see the results, his actions. It's possible he himself may not have a good understanding of his own thinking and feeling on the issue. What I want to have is a better grasp of the entire issue. Since we can't control whether Clinton is motivated by his fear of impeachment, lets look at what we can clearly evaluate. What is accomplished by bombing Iraq? Is there good reason to do so regardless of Clinton's reason? Will Saddam now cooperate with the rules of inspection? What about the innocent people who will be killed? How potent and powerful are these weapons that Saddam may be hiding? It's a much larger issue to wonder if our own very lives, our state of health and well-being, are in danger because of Iraq's developements? My reading to this point gives me reason to think that not just foreigners, but citizens in this country are threatened by biological and chemical weapons. Though I have real sorrow towards the loss of life involved with attacking Iraq, my opinion is that suspecting Saddam of more weapons production is a valid fear. If that is the case, not only should we be bombing him into submitting to the inspections, we should be forcefully removing his ability to do anything, including taking over his country. He doesn't deserve to be the ruler of a country when his actions clearly indicate his motivations for the vision and future for his people is by violent dominance towards others. His entire carreer as a leader indicate he has no conscience for respecting life, or for any humanitarian ideals.
