WASHINGTON Sen. Hillary Clinton on Tuesday backed her husband, Bill Clinton, for fervently refuting questions about his anti-terror strategy, even as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice challenged the former president's claims that he aggressively pursued Usama bin Laden.
Bill Clinton appeared on "FOX News Sunday With Chris Wallace" on Sunday, where he said he did more than many of his conservative critics to pursue bin Laden, and left behind for the Bush administration a comprehensive plan to fight Al Qaeda.

""You know, and I'm certain, if my husband and his national security team had been shown a classified reported entitled, 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States,' he would have taken it more seriously than history suggests it was taken by our current president and his national security team," Sen. Clinton added."
...gag.....
Like she had a choice.
Her husband??? Oh thats right they pretend they're married.
Which is it? Bill didn't take it seriously because he didn't have the information as Hillary claims?
Or is it that Bill tried and tried and tried and nobody would believe him that we needed to kill Bin Laden?
Hillary didn't watch Hubbie's meltdown apparently.
"You know, and I'm certain, if my husband and his national security team had been shown a classified reported entitled, 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States,' he would have taken it more seriously than history suggests it was taken by our current president and his national security team," Sen. Clinton added."
hindsight 20/20 does make it into history books mrs. clinton. you husband was not smart enough.
Remember, Bill said he was OBSESSED with getting Bin Laden.
How obsessed can you be if you don't take it seriously?
The entire 8 years in office, Bill Clinton called only ONE intelligence briefing. The Bush administration was basically starting out in the dark, because the intelligence gathered from the Clinton administration wasn't carried over into the Bush administration. Richard Clarke says it in his book, Dick Morris has said it countless times.
Should read "CLINTON BACKS HINO".
If she is serious about a run for the WH, she should be distancing herself from Slick. As a politician, next to him she looks incredibly ineffective and weak. As a woman, she brings shame on herself for "standin' by her man like some Tammy Wynette". As a candidate, she states the obvious, Slick will be back in the Oval Office running things.
To many, that is a revolting image.

The Impeached Bill Clinton: "We were all making comments
we shouldn't have about how the meeting was getting very boring.
So finally we decided we had to make like the monkey. Cohen
started this 'hear no evil,' and then I was next so I spoke no evil,
then Madeleine saw no evil, so Sandy Berger said, 'I'm evil.'"

Remember he also said that he came closer than anyone else did in capturing OBL. Last time I looked OBL is still out there, and 9/11 happened.
You know...he said he tried to kill him many times....
IT'S HIS BASE......and there are a lot of parents that don't like what happened in that Whitehouse.
1996 will not be like 2008!!!
Smarmy Terry MacAuliffe was just on with John Gibson and all he could repeat was "Bush played golf", yada, yada, yada. If I remember correctly, after reading Dereliction of Duty, Bubba couldn't be bothered taking a call from Sandy Burglar because he was too busy with his golf game. These people are in panic mode. The legacy is sinking.
The Sept. 11 commission did not learn of any U.S. government knowledge prior to 9/11 of surveillance of Mohammed Atta or of his cell, said Hamilton, a former Democratic congressman from Indiana. Had we learned of it obviously it wouldve been a major focus of our investigation.
Hamiltons remarks Tuesday followed findings by Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., vice chairman of the House Armed Services and Homeland Security committees, that made front-page news.
In June, Weldon displayed charts on the floor of the U.S. Senate showing that Able Danger identified the suspected terrorists in 1999. The unit repeatedly asked for the information to be forwarded to the FBI but apparently to no avail. Various news outlets picked up on the story this week.
Weldon said that in September 2000, the unit recommended on three separate occasions that its information on the hijackers be given to the FBI so they could bring that cell in and take out the terrorists. However, Weldon said Pentagon lawyers rejected the recommendation, arguing that Atta and the others were in the country legally so information on them could not be shared with law enforcement.
Lawyers within the administration and were talking about the Clinton administration, not the Bush administration said you cant do it, and put post-its over Attas face, Weldon said. They said they were concerned about the political fallout that occurred after Waco and the Branch Davidians.
And now you know what the Bergler stole, notes related to AD. I also noted that they trotted out Gorelick to defend Clinton this week as well.
In every election post-Clinton that McAuliffe was involved in the Dems LOST.
Every candidate that Slick backed LOST.
Their coat-tails are awfully short and slippery.
Bill, and appearantly Hillary, appear to be absolutely OBSESSED with attacking these charges by shooting the messenger on their little scheme to bait and switch the American people into believing he actually did anything at all to protect us from terrorism.
Legacies and history re-writing are tricky things, especially when obvious facts do not support their conclusions.
