Ex-President Bill Clinton criticized Sen. John Kerry on Friday, saying he lost his presidential bid last year because he was soft on national security.
Addressing Colorado's Aspen Ideas Institute, Clinton dissected Kerry's campaign with event moderator Walter Isaacson.
According to the Aspen Times, Clinton "blamed the Democratic candidate's soft stand on security" for his defeat.
He recalled that while campaigning on behalf of the Massachusetts Democrat last October, "it was clear even Kerry's supporters weren't clear on the candidate's position on national security."
"I think, in the end, he lost in a close race because of the security issue," Clinton told Isaacson.
He also said Kerry didn't do enough to reach out to rural voters, who were likely to support Bush.
"You can't win an election in this country unless you talk to people who you think aren't for you," Clinton said. "A person who wants to be president has to be at home with issues and people when he knows he's on the losing side."
Clinton was accompanied to Aspen by his wife, 2008 presidential hopeful and Kerry rival Hillary Clinton. Sen. Clinton was scheduled to address the Aspen Ideas Institute Sunday afternoon.
You're so right. Grampa Dave coined the following phrase for the war on terror, which bears repeating often.

I'll be off the board from the 12th-18th. Happy hunting.
Now THAT was good!
And Hillary reminded her audience that after the 1993 Tower Bombing in NY, and when he got out from beneath his desk, her hubby took immediate steps to protect the state of New York from future attacks by hiring lawyers to build a case against the bombers.

The CLINTONS used the arresting of the Blind Muslim Cleric Mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing as an example of their not being soft on Terrorism during the 1990's, when they were.
Even though it was the CLINTONS who refused 3 Offers from the Sudan during the 1990's to turn OSAMA bin LADEN over to U.S. Custody before he could hit us hard here at home after they had left the White House.
Even though it was actually RICK RESCORLA, and his lifelong Terrorism Expert friend DAN HILL, who actually tracked down that Blind Cleric's Brooklyn Temple as the hotbed of Anti-American fervor that it was.

Bill Clinton is an expert on being soft on National Security!
He is campaigning for Hillary who is suddenly Ms. Defense! He should talk about being soft on security. These people are evil.
hey, lady - where you bin?
Hillary must have done all her talking behind the scenes, as I recall she didn't answer questions on camera and only appeared on 'scripted' shows. Somehow it worked for her!

We can only pray that the general populace learns what we know about her!
And immediately following, hillary will say that Bush isn't fighting the war on terror properly, and that with 20/20 hindsight, she can fight the war better than Bush.
It takes one to know one.
