The only real accomplishment of the Hussein/Clinton regime was the killing of Osama Bin Laden (though we have never seen the actual photos). Turns out, Hillary Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal not only wanted to spike the football with Bin Laden, but he urged Clinton to use Bin Laden’s body to make Congress ‘bow for Hillary’. Drip…Drip…..Drip…

Hillary Clinton’s longtime confidant Sidney Blumenthal suggested that the Obama administration use photographs of Osama bin Laden’s dead body to turn Congress into trophies and “liegemen bowing before” Obama, Clinton’s newly released private emails reveal.
Blumenthal further suggested that the post-mortem images should be exploited for debt ceiling negotiations to get “far right-wing Tea Party Republicans” to “admit to the President’s status above them and to his effectiveness.”
The latest batch of 550 emails released on Saturday by the State Department contain a May 5, 2011 Blumenthal dispatch to Clinton titled, “OBL photos.”
The email was sent in the wake of bin Laden’s May 2, 2011 elimination by U.S. Navy SEALs in Pakistan. Bin Laden’s body was buried at sea and the government has kept photos of his corpse private, fearing the images would trigger violent backlash.
Blumenthal, however, saw an opportunity and suggested that the Obama administration could use the post-mortem photos in a publicity blitz with multiple political agendas.
“Yes, there is a Third Way—on the Bin Laden photos,” wrote Blumenthal. The reference was to Bill Clinton’s economic philosophy, referred to as the “third way,” which called for business and government to join hands as partners.
Blumenthal said the administration should show the bin Laden images to every member of Congress in a special secure room, “something like when members were permitted to view Abu Ghraib pictures,” he wrote.
