[Prishtina-E] Open Letter to U.S. President Bill Clinton

[George Garza]

You may agree or you may disagree, but this is a
thought-provoking 
letter 
from Eric Jowers to President Bill Clinton.  He is a
retired Army 
officer who 
served as public affairs officer at Fort Rucker from
1989 to 1991 and 
now 
lives in Ozark, Alabama.
 
> > 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 were about 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
> > Karen 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 Star
> > 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; overwhelming evidence is not a
> > confession at  all.ot 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 between 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 l992 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.
