Clinton's last word on national security

A NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY FOR A GLOBAL AGE , is a document issued by the White House in December 2000. It is Clinton's last word on the challenges facing our country, our priorities, and accomplishments.

Search in vain for recognition of OBL and his network as a priority. Do note the labeling of terrorism as a crime rather than an act of war. Do note the accomplishment of arresting a "dozen" terrorists. I guess if you don't set your sights too high, then 12 seems like a lot.

Wise words: Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has if you count the tail as a leg. When they answered "five," Lincoln told them that the answer was four. The fact that you called the tail a leg did not make it a leg.

Aisling: (Irish: aislinn; pronounced ASH-ling): A vision poem.

In an aisling, the island of Ireland appears to the poet in a vision in the form of a woman, sometimes young and beautiful, sometimes old and haggard. This female figure is generally referred to in the poems as An Spéirbhean (the sky-woman).
