Clinton railed at "all of the right-wingers who are attacking me now" and denounced Wallace's "conservative hit job," demanding to know "how many people in the Bush administration you asked . . . 'Why did you fire Dick Clarke,' " the anti-terrorism chief.
But was Clinton telling the truth? (Remember the last time he wagged his finger in public?)
Secretary of State Rice suggests not.
"The notion somehow for eight months the Bush administration sat there . . . is just flatly false," the former national security adviser told The Post's editorial board yesterday. "What we did in eight months was at least as aggressive as what the Clinton administration did in the preceding [eight] years,"
Firing Clarke? Far from it, she noted: He "was the counter-terrorism czar when 9/11 happened, and he left [in 2003] when he did not become deputy director of homeland security," as he wanted.
That's a critical point.
The more this Clinton news stays in the news the better. It's about time we took a close look at the failings of the Clinton Admin. IT'S ONLY BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE 9/11! Sheesh.
