New York Sen. Hillary Clinton questioned Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Tuesday about claims that the Bush administration missed a chance to kill Osama bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks, asking him to explain the failure to 9/11 victim families.
Rumsfeld was testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee about revising the military force structure when committee-member Clinton switched gears, asking him about the 9/11 Commission report.
Citing a commission finding calling the Bush administration's failure to arm Predator drones a "missed opportunity" in the hunt for bin Laden, Clinton asked Rumsfeld to respond to questions from 9/11 victim families.
In testimony before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee earlier in the day, 9/11 family spokeswoman Kristin Breitweiser complained about arguments between the Pentagon and the CIA over the use of Predator drones.
"As their heated debate continued over money and responsibilities, al Qaida was already here in the U.S., lying in wait, fully embedded and prepared to kill 3,000 innocent people," Breitweiser said, in quotes picked up by CNN.
"If that does not illustrate how off-the-mark our military and intelligence community was in the months leading up to 9/11, I don't know what does," she complained.
"The status quo has failed us," 9/11 relative Stephen Push testified. "The current allocation of intelligence budgets failed to prevent the murder of nearly 3,000 people in one day on American soil."
Rumsfeld had not responded to Sen. Clinton's request by the time the Armed Services Committee hearing ended.
She is a terrible speaker. You'd think she's be very good with using the language since she is a "lawyer". But she's another "lawyer" that never made it into a court room. Just a paper pusher that sits around and comes up with ways to screw people over.
Have you ever heard her speak off-the-cuff in the Senate? "You know, you know, you know"... They have to delete her saying "you know" over and over out of the Congressional Record so her speeches make any sense when you read them.
Ya...he was gettin some in the oval office,turnin around and doing the same to the American public.B!tch was the only one NOT gettin screwed!Suppose that might be part of her problem?
If I remember correctly, Clinton stated in My Life that he didn't go after Bin Laden with drones because he was afraid of what Albright & Hillary would say.
I just can't get over what balls she pretends to have.
Hey, Hillary, you should ask your husband, Stainman, was more focussed in discharging bodily fluids than doing his job.
PRECISELY. Republicans refuse to fight the fights that so desperately need to be fought.
MM
It's just uncanny how a dog smells her own $hit first!
Yeah! You're absolutely right. GW takes such a hit for the type of speaking he does...why doesn't SHE get called for her shrill you know yelling style.
She's an embarrassment to all of us girls.
what a witch
I guess it has something to do with Mena or FBI files. Or both.
Then I imagine what the Right's reaction would be to a Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and it all makes sense...LOL.
She also quoted the leftist tactic of "begin as if you are going to be attacked". Hillary is trying to diffuse what should have been a glaring error of the Clinton administration. The boy president should have captured Bin Laden.
Just a normal dumb a$$ senator.
Could it be that the First Wich has not yet read "Losing Bin Laden" by Miniter, a devastating account of how her own useless husband failed at getting Bin Laden when it was possble and doable. After she reads it (yeah, right!) send it along to the 9/11 family leftist female and her cohorts to read as well.
In a just world, defecating on her grave would be a national sporting event.
Some questions will demand answers - and she won't like it...
I'm amazed she wasn't struck dead, but a lot amazes me lately.
Reparations, for one.
Typical 'Rat behavior, blame everyone else for what you are doing or failed to do.
Someone please ping me when hell freezes over.
