WASHINGTON - Former President Bill Clinton got in the current president's face Tuesday, slamming the Bush administration for linking the London bomb plot and the war on terror to the war in Iraq.
"The Republicans should be very careful in trying to play politics with this London airport thing, because they're going to have a hard time with the facts," Clinton said in an interview.
"I don't think the foiling of that London bomb plot has any bearing on our Iraq policy," he said.
Clinton's broadside, delivered on ABC's "Good Morning America," came as President Bush spent his second day in the wake of the defused British terror plot holding high-profile national security meetings.
"America is safer than it has been, but it's not yet safe," Bush said at the National Counterterrorism Center.

But after the Murrah Building was bombed in Oklahoma City it was okay for Clinton to say that it was Rush Limbaugh and hate (right wing) radio that caused McVeigh to bomb the building. Clinton is one of the biggest hypocrites around.
Even the clelbrated 911 commission said the clintonistas couldn't connect the dots.
Clinton is a dill hole. There's my intellectual contribution to this thread. ;-D
There is no doubt. Here we are 6 going on 7 years after Clinton and still diggin out from his messes.
Here we are 25 years from Jimmy Carters messes and still digging out, and we still have to listen to this senile fool trying to build a legacy he screwed up so long ago.
