But not a word of criticism of Bill/Hillary re Rwanda, and not a single word of sympathy for 800,00 slaughtered Rwandans.

In the future, I politely suggest that you (1) click on the link to the article quoted in the OP and (2) click on the highlighted words and terms therein to access the supporting information.

So you're using gutter language to attack me for your inability to understand how to access the supporting information. I know you must feel just terrible about your mistake, right?

And here it is again:

For instance, here is just one of the many documents:

Document 9
April 9, 1994
From: Richard Clarke
To: Donald Steinberg, et. al.
Subj: "Rwanda: Next Steps, for Sunday and Beyond"
Source: Clinton Library MDR Case no. 2014-0278

In a National Security Council (NSC) email from April 9 1994, Richard Clarke writes to Donald Steinberg and several other NSC officials about working to coordinate with the French to get American citizens out of Rwanda, and to terminate UNAMIR. He writes in a section titled "Terminating the UN Force":

"We make a lot of noise about terminating UN forces that aren't working. Well, few could be as clearly not working. We should work with the Frecnh [sic] to gain a consensus to terminate the UN mission."
