Clinton calls terror a U.S. debt to past

Bill Clinton, the former president, said yesterday that terror has existed in America for hundreds of years and the nation is "paying a price today" for its past of slavery and for looking "the other way when a significant number of native Americans were dispossessed and killed."

Putin: Clinton Wasn't Interested in Fighting Terrorism

In comments guaranteed to raise eyebrows on both sides of the Atlantic, Russian President Vladimir Putin said late Wednesday he was disappointed that ex-President Bill Clinton seemed so uninterested in combating worldwide terrorism.

"I wouldn't want to go into any assessments of my colleagues," Putin first told ABC's "20/20" host Barbara Walters in an exclusive interview.

But then the former KGB agent revealed his dismay over Clinton's attitude toward the terrorist threat.

"The former president of the United States ... was in a very difficult situation. But even at that time, we certainly were counting on a more active cooperation in combating international terrorism."

Putin lamented the missed opportunity, suggesting the possibility that the events of Sept. 11 might have been avoided had circumstances been different.

"I don't know whether it would have been possible to prevent these strikes on the United States by the terrorists, but it was a pity that our special services didn't get the information on time and warn the American people and the American political leadership about the tragedy that came to pass."

Since Osama bin Laden's attacks on the U.S. two months ago, Clinton has repeatedly insisted he did everything he could in the war on terrorism, though former Clinton aides admit he was frequently preoccupied with the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal in the last two years of his term.

"Clinton calls terror a U.S. debt to past"

It is Clinton himself that is the past for which we pay this debt now.

When Falwell made a statement along these lines, he was ripped up one side and down the other by the media. Gee, do you think they will do the same with Clinton?

Well, you know, Falwell blamed homosexuals and abortionists. Clinton blamed white european heterosexual males. The press has no problem with blaming white european heterosexual males, only the homosexuals and abortionists.

Shalom.

Don't forget...this is the same Anti-American who bragged to Dick Morris that he was getting his #$%^&*&%E^*%*^% with Monica, on the PRESIDENTIAL SEAL in the Oval Office.

[Liberals are Evil Socialists!]

God, what a self absorbed apologist for history. His kind of "thinking" is what gets us killed. He is the biggest disaster to ever get elected through the lies and propoganda of the media. Traitor.

I most likely would have missed it until now, Rush and I found it at about the same time.(Actually, he probably got it last night and is just talking about it now.)

"This battle fundamentally is about what you think about the nature of truth," he said, noting that God has imposed on us the inability to ever know "the whole truth."

Maybe you don't know 'The Whole Truth', Slick, but we do, and 'IT' has set, and will keep, us FREE!!!, God willing.

"If you live in a country where you're never required to take responsibility for yourself, where you never even have to ask whether there's something you should be doing to solve your own problems, then people are kept in kind of a permanent state of collective immaturity and it becomes quite easy for them to believe that someone else's success is the cause of their distress. "

Gee, I wonder how he would comment on the effects of 40+ years of welfare on the African American community?!?!?

Will we never be rid of the Xlinton blight?

TRAITOR! TREASON! TURNCOAT!! DESPICABLE!! THIS MINDSET HELD THE PRESIDENCY IN OUR GREAT LAND FOR 8 LONNNNNG YEARS, THIS SOLIDIFIES THIS PILE OF $HIT'S PLACE IN HISTORY AS THE WORST US PRESIDENT EVER!

El Bumpo! This is the most dispicable act of anti-Americanism I have seen yet.

[Johnny Crab]

Agreed! I don't know if all the tractors and flashlights in Texas would help X42 repair the "inversion" problem he has or if he really thinks we have soapdish IQ's........

[concerned about politics]

Rush is jumping all over Clinton right now. Bill Clintons idols in Arkansas were segragationists !!!!
He has a history of respect and association with well known racists!

[Spottys Spurs]

"Engage the Muslim world in a debate?" I don't think so. How about we just reach out with a few well-placed nuclear warheads. Problem solved! He misses his office so much, he'll do and say anything. Go back to Arkansas, Bill.. and take Hillary with you! This guy is an idiot!

[AnnO]

This is so insightful as to what I believe to be a mental breakdown and Ex Pres Clinton's present state of mind is frightening me more than the terrorists.....even with accidental reposting of this Washington Times report I am glad to have it on multiple times frankly as we freepers are all right on target......Bill Clinton has gone over the edge and is dangerous right now and we all see it plainly and this is really quite serious!

[JENINMO]

He's describing HIMSELF. This guy is beyond the pale.

[Mr. Toobeley]

We got what we deserved, all right--it was called "Clintonism." We had it for eight years, but now we are being cleansed.

[GenXFreedomFighter]

I hope Xlinton keeps saying things like this. It'll prove once and for all to the mind-numbed, brain-dead robots who vote for any liberal, Big Brother piece of monkeysh!t with a (D) attached to his/her name what kind of half-baked screwball anti-American ideas this camelf****r and his "post-structural-thinking" ilk really stands for!!
