Um...how exactly did Scooter's false timeframe compromise national security?
Or was Obama referring to Armitage? Or Sandy Berger?

I believe President clinton made the precedent that if it is important enough for him to win, a President should compromise national security. Not that scooter or bush did anything close to what clinton did with China, but still that only makes the argument stronger.
