A New York Times poll of 9/11 victim families released on Sunday shows that more Americans who lost relatives in the worst terrorist attack in the nation's history hold President Clinton responsible rather than President Bush.
"As for assigning blame, more of those interviewed blamed former President Bill Clinton than blamed Mr. Bush for the awful human damage inflicted on American soil that day," the Times said.
The paper declined to release specific figures for the finding, based on a survey of 339 relatives of 9/11 victims, explaining, "The study differs from a scientific survey in that the total population of living relatives of 9/11 victims is unknown and therefore could not be sampled precisely or randomly."
Reacting to results of the 9/11 survey, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton defended her husband's record.
"There were ten missed opportunities [to get Osama bin Laden] in the 9/11 Commission [report]," she told ABC's "This Week." "Six of those [were in] the first eight months of the Bush administration, four of those in the eight years of the Clinton administration.
Mrs. Clinton also claimed that the 9/11 Commission had praised her husband's handling of the 1999 Millennium threat as "exemplary," though the Commission actually attributes the foiling of the Millennium bomb plot to "luck" alone.
Sen. Clinton appeared on "This Week" in her role as chief of the Democratic Party's "Truth Squad."
What fabulous news!!!
Hey BILL!!! Here is your LEGACY!!!!! Bwahahahhahahahaha
You sure wouldn't know from the MSM coverage of past 10 months of 911 Families harping On Bush!
They wont release the outcomes!!!! WOW - must be really really bad for Klintoon.
Hmmmmm would the NYT DARE to have an editorial on this tidbit?
So much for all the news that's fit to print, eh? Again.
New York Times...hold President Clinton responsible..This has got to be a fake. Those seven words never appear in the same sentence...Impossible!
Even more significant by virtue of the fact that statistically most of these people have to be Democrats because they are living in the NYC area. Yes, I know that many of the victims were working for brokerage houses and financial institutions and all that, but even in banking and finance, people in NYC are Dems.
Hey, Senator Clinton, perhaps you need to consider relocating for your next senate term - You're going down, honey and it couldn't happen to a nicer W/B#$ch!
Book title should read "Leg-Ass-cy"
bttt
They’re not releasing it because it’s overwhelmingly detrimental to Democrats.
Interestingly, the Times frequently publishes poll results on the national election with a few hundred or a thousand in the sample. I would say 339 is a valid sample to draw conclusions about the close-in relatives of the 2,800 9/11 victims.
Oh, dear! Hill will have to shut the 9/11 families up, big time.
Heheheheheh.
Did any of the media outlets talk about this at all?
However, this morning FoxNews showed over 2700+ people (each representing one of the dead victims of 9/11) each ringing bells at the Ground Zero site.
They are protesting and blaming, who else? Bush. For his involvement and policies that led to the war, and 9/11.
I sure hope that this poll questioned more than the number of people involved in this stunt. I am not sure if they were family members. If they were, my condolences for them.
Anyone else see this?
