NY TIMES POLL: 9/11 FAMILIES BLAME CLINTON
Newsmax ^ | 8/29/04

Posted on 08/29/2004 8:01:35 AM PDT by areafiftyone

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."

But they knew that before they did the survey, ---so why do it at all?

Oh yeah, they were fishing to see if it came up anti-Bush, in which case it would have been above the fold.

Really.....You actually watch Little Georgie Porgie?

Just teasing....I'm glad to see that most of these 9/11 families have the good sense to know that Clinton was AWOL on going after Osama & terrorism prevention!

And it is sweet to see it reported by the NYT.

President's Remarks
video image view

This country has many challenges. We will not deny, we will not ignore, we will not pass along our problems to other Congresses, to other presidents, and other generations. (Applause.) We will confront them with focus and clarity and courage...

Sending Americans into battle is the most profound decision a President can make. The technologies of war have changed; the risks and suffering of war have not. For the brave Americans who bear the risk, no victory is free from sorrow. This nation fights reluctantly, because we know the cost and we dread the days of mourning that always come.

We seek peace. We strive for peace. And sometimes peace must be defended. A future lived at the mercy of terrible threats is no peace at all. If war is forced upon us, we will fight in a just cause and by just means -- sparing, in every way we can, the innocent. And if war is forced upon us, we will fight with the full force and might of the United States military -- and we will prevail. (Applause.)

It must be higher than they want. If these families blamed Bush, they would surely disclose the numbers.
Of course, I'm being Captain Obvious here.

Here is the NY Times article on the poll CLICK and the poll results are on this page of the NY Times second story on the left column CLICK. They are in pdf format.

> But those poll results are not for the 9/11 families poll. Those results are for a poll of New Yorkers, not necessarily 9/11 victims, about the convention.
