Clinton warns against politicizing British terror plot
Mercury News ^ | Aug 16, 2006 | Michael McAuliff

WASHINGTON - Former President Bill Clinton got in the current president's face Tuesday, slamming the Bush administration for linking the London bomb plot and the war on terror to the war in Iraq.

"The Republicans should be very careful in trying to play politics with this London airport thing, because they're going to have a hard time with the facts," Clinton said in an interview.

"I don't think the foiling of that London bomb plot has any bearing on our Iraq policy," he said.

Clinton's broadside, delivered on ABC's "Good Morning America," came as President Bush spent his second day in the wake of the defused British terror plot holding high-profile national security meetings.

"America is safer than it has been, but it's not yet safe," Bush said at the National Counterterrorism Center.

Clinton is a steaming pile of excrement.

Of course if the planes had been blown up. Then he would have blamed the war in iraq for inflaming the middle east.

How can they write a headline that Clinton is against politicizing it, when his entire statement is a political one using the terror attacks to criticize the Bush administration. Incredible.

Clinton just wants people to look at terror events like unconnected atoms.

Mentioning the global Islamist movement that is decades in the making is "playing politics" for the Dems. If they recognize the reality of Islamic fascism-- its history, goals, tactics -- they'd have to reassess all of their emotional attitudes about Iraq, Bush, Lieberman, Gitmo, Blair, the Patriot Act and so forth.

Democrats would rather doublethink than look reality in the eye.

His STDs need to converge and 'cap' his pathetic ass. Klintoon is a subhuman, treasonous, lowlife, dirtbag POS. The sooner the world is rid of his verminous filth, the better. Good riddance and rot in hell.

Looks like we have a Jimmah #2 on our hands. The two of them should butt out and let the current POTUS run the country. This is really getting old.

Someone refresh my memory...how many cruise missiles did The Most Ethical President In History fire at aspirin factories?

And how many times was Bin Laden offered to him on a silver platter?

And exactly what did he do about the first WTC attack...or the barracks in Saudi Arabia...or the embassies in Africa...or the USS Cole...or the assassination attempt against former President Bush...or the hundreds of violations of the no-fly zones by Sadaam's Air Force?
