Hillary Clinton Attacks Bush, U.S. Intelligence Services in Overseas Interview Urges a "Globalized and Integrated World"

June 17, 2003 By Toby Westerman Copyright 2003 International News Analysis Today www.inatoday.com

U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton (D NY) attacked U.S. President George W. Bush, and questioned U.S. intelligence effectiveness in an interview published in the online version of the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel.

Der Spiegel is Germany's leading newsmagazine, and is highly regarded throughout Europe. Clinton's remarks will gain a high degree of publicity across the European continent, attracting support within Europe's generally liberal political environment, where socialism enjoys wide acceptance.

While asserting her support for Bush in Afghanistan and Iraq, Sen. Clinton criticized present U.S. policy in Europe, and questioned the Bush administration's use of intelligence information.

Clinton stated that she was "not ready to answer 'yes'" to Der Spiegel's question whether misleading information was used to launch the war in Iraq.

"I know my husband received the same intelligence information [during his presidency as did Bush]." Clinton asserted that "the real question is have we obtained accurate information, or have the findings been altered for military or political purposes?"

Clinton also urged greater interdependence between Europe and the U.S., stating that America should seek "a secure and solid foundation" for relations with Europe, instead of "relying only upon our [U.S.] military strength."

Praising her husband's close relationship with European leaders during his period in office, Clinton declared that "for eight years we were on the right course to a globalized and integrated world - which is coming, one way or the other."

Clinton publicly revealed the foreign policy thrust of the Democratic Party in a remarkable moment of candor, a position Democratic leaders have not made clear to the public, but which is keenly understood and supported by Clinton.

Not only is a "globalized and integrated world" inevitable, it is a foreign policy priority of the Democratic Party.

According to Clinton, a single, unified world "is a perspective we Democrats have not successfully made clear."

In the Der Spiegel interview, Clinton asserted that her husband sought to pass "effective laws" and proposed "more money" to carry out the struggle against terror, but "the Republicans prevented" measures from becoming enacted.

Hillary Clinton, already considered an intriguing figure in Europe, will gain additional credibility as a stateswoman as a result of the Der Spiegel interview.

As Europeans become more familiar with Clinton and her views, their impact will be felt as they bring money and influence to her or a like politician's campaign.

The socialist European expectation will be that a Democratic victory will bring into power a U.S. government more to the liking of one-world European politicians.

Great point. Once a carpet bagger, always a carpet bagger.

More likely, and buttressed by this article, Hitlery running for POTUS, and Bill for Secretary of Genocide of the UN. Scary stuff.

Don't EVER underestimate this woman.

We laughed and laughed about the carpetbagger's chances of ever being elected to the senate. And she was.

She can (and does) get away with just about anything, because the liberal shills of the world (NYTimes and the BBC) want the same things she does. This is the true danger of liberal bias in the media.

She is a dangerous woman, who would take us down, because she hates our country and all that it stands for.

Well, we knew that. Now everyone else does, too. Freezes my blood.

I'm sure you hope so, Senator.

HILLARY SCANDAL!!! LIES! TREASON? SOMEONE PLEASE CALL AL GORE AND TELL HIM AMERICA NEEDS EVEN ONE HONEST MAINSTREAM PRO-AMERICAN NEWS OUTLET:


In the Der Spiegel interview, Clinton asserted that her husband sought to pass "effective laws" and proposed "more money" to carry out the struggle against terror, but "the Republicans prevented" measures from becoming enacted.

The socialist European expectation will be that a Democratic victory will bring into power a U.S. government more to the liking of one-world European politicians 

Not only is a "globalized and integrated world" inevitable, it is a foreign policy priority of the Democratic Party.

According to Clinton, a single, unified world "is a perspective we Democrats have not successfully made clear."


HILLARY ADMITS THAT THE DEM PARTY IS ALIGNED W/ EUROPEAN SOCIALISTS - BETRAYS AMERICA, OUR TROOPS, BLAMES GOP FOR HUBBY'S FAILURES. Shouldn't this woman at the very least be kicked off any Senate committee where she has access to classified intel?
 
NO banner headlines re. above scandal(s) = pro-Clinton press  = anti-American VLWC press = a threat to our national security. Case closed.
 
Even the Aussies gave their troops a parade. OUR press, THIS Dem. Party / press continues to misreport and sow dissent in Iraq - to undermine our efforts, endanger the lives of our troops.
 
THIS WOMAN WOULD BE CIC? Anyone remember what her husband did to our honorable military?
 
America should seek "a secure and solid foundation" for relations with Europe, instead of "relying only upon our [U.S.] military strength." ~ Hillary Clinton.
 
The former First Lady, current Senator, doesn't know we're far from relying only upon our [U.S.] military strength? From CENTCOM - available to anyone - Learn More about the Largest Coalition Ever Built.
 
Finally, how, as First Lady, did Hillary know classified national secrets - and, as a US Senator, is she sharing classified intel  w/ her husband today?
