Senator to Clinton: Don't Wag the Dog
Wes Vernon
Saturday, Oct. 28, 2000
An influential member of the Senate Armed Services and Select
Intelligence Committees has urged President Clinton to consult
with military leaders and congressional committees before any
possible military action before the election.
Several lawmakers are worried the president might "wag the dog"
and create a "crisis" just in time to help Al Gore�s re-election
effort.
Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., says Clinton should touch military
and congressional bases before any possible retaliation for the
recent attack on the USS Cole that killed 17 American sailors and
wounded 39.
Such consultations, says Inhofe, "would help preclude any
suspicions that potential military action this close to an
election is politically motivated."
The Oklahoma lawmaker recalls the August 1998 cruise missile
attacks in Afghanistan and Sudan, one of which hit an aspirin
factory. Though Inhofe doesn�t spell it out, the suspicion then
was that the president wanted to change the subject away from a
focus on the grand jury investigation into questions of perjury
and obstruction of justice in the Monica Lewinsky matter.
"It was a case where something was done and nobody knew it was
going to happen," declares the GOP senator. "As a result, there
are a lot of people who believe this military action might have
been politically motivated."
The senator did not mention also that Clinton�s claim that he had
to take military action on the day the House was considering
impeachment in December 1998 failed the laugh test with many
lawmakers.
Noting the election is less than two weeks away, Inhofe adds: "I
want to go on record urging the president to work closely on any
proposed action that could take place as a result of the USS Cole
tragedy, in full consultation with all members of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, with the top service commanders in chief, as
well as with the members of both the Senate Armed Services
Committee, the House Armed Services Committee, and the
Intelligence Committees."
