Hillary Hits TV with Wall-to-Wall 9/11 Bush Bash
NewsMax.com ^ | 9/12/03 | Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff

Viewers who turned on their TV sets to catch yesterday's coverage of the second anniversary of the 9/11 attacks found it hard to avoid U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, who spent most of her day explaining to interviewers how the Bush administration had let America down.

Starting just after sun-up Clinton appeared on both CBS's "Early Show" and NBC's "Today Show," where she promised to hold the Bush administration accountable for withholding information that she said showed the air at Ground Zero was unsafe to breathe.

After that, Clinton migrated to CNN for a live spot with Bill Hemmer, where she complained that America's first responders were being shortchanged by the federal government.

The top New York Democrat followed Hemmer's spot with an appearance on CNN's "Inside Politics" with Judy Woodruff, where she complained about President Bush's price tag for the war in Iraq.

"That number, $87 billion, was a shocker," she announced. "It was far higher than any of us had been led to expect."

From there, the former first lady made her way to CNBC for a sit-down with the "Capital Report's" Gloria Borger and Alan Murray, where she griped that President Bush had squandered "the trust and credibility of our government at a time when we have to trust and rely on what they tell us."

After Clinton was gone, Murray observed to his co-host, "Gloria, that's a very hard-hitting attack on the White House. . . . I've got to tell you, even on this day of remembrance, she sounds to me like somebody running for office. Are you sure she's not?"

Borger confidently assured the audience that Clinton was not a presidential candidate. "She's not running herself. She says she's not in 2004. She will be out there campaigning with these [other Democrat] candidates."

The Beast chooses her words carefully. The unmistakeable "subliminable" message: President Bush misled Congress.

I wasn't listening to her.

She certainly has gotten pudgy and old, hasn't she?

The botox and lift just didn't do a thing. And her wardrobe....so discount

With Wesley Clark, aka Achilles, about to come out of his tent in an attempt to slow the runaway El Deaneo, look for no clear winner and a "Draft Hillary" movement led by Terry McAwful at the convention in Boston.

Yesterday my 19 year old observed that her tone always seems "angry", almost yelling. Thinks that will ultimately work against her.

Well then, I think she should meet with NYC firemen and policemen again and tell them just how worried she is about their well-being.

Hillary Rodham Izetbegovic Khomieni, the biggest islamist shill in America, as well as her husband, bear GREAT responsibility for why we had 9/11 in the first place!

For example, their pet ministate, islamist-run "Bosnia", hosted 9/11 mastermind Mohammed Atta pror to his move to Hamburg, followed by his coming to the US to direct the terror hijackings.

It was the clintons who demonized and bombed the Christian Serbs to support their islamist pets in "Bosnia" and Kosovo. It was Hillary Khomieni who called Bill and told him to "bomb the bastards" [i.e., the Serbs], when she and Chelsea were junketing around the islamic world in March 1999. It was Hillary who first invited the delegation of islamist fifth columnists to the White House to celebrate Eid al Fitr. And it was the clintons who did NOTHING to follow up on the first islamist bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993.

Sen. Khomeini should keep a VERY LOW PROFILE on 9/11, rather than shooting her big mouth off. She has MUCH TO BE ASHAMED OF!!!!

SPAWN OF SATAN! BACK I SAY!"

The various looks of mental stability...

"I`m good for New York."..Hillary Clinton

Hillarys definition of what is "good of New York"; having hubby pardon the FALN terrorists who bombed NYC and Chicago 130 times, even though they never asked to be pardoned, even though they refused to renounce violence, because when it come to the "good of New york" nothing is better than good ole vote buying.




STATEMENT OF

DETECTIVE ROCCO PASCERELLA

BEFORE THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY

HEARING ON FALN CLEMENCY

SEPTEMBER 15, 1999


Good Morning Senators.

My name is Rocco Pascarella.

On December 31, 1982, I was a police officer assigned to security at Police Headquarters in New York City. I had joined the force at age 21, and in my 13 years on the New York City Police force I had worked in various precincts and assignments. About two weeks prior to December 31, 1982 I had been assigned to the Police Headquarters security detail. On what should have been a festive evening, FALN terrorists were at work in New York City. It was 9:30 p.m. when my colleagues and I heard a tremendous explosion. At first we thought it was fireworks. But soon after, we were told a bomb had exploded at 26 federal plaza which is two blocks from police headquarters. I was directed by my seargent to search the perimeter of the headquarters building for anything suspicious that might be a bomb. As I approached the rear unused entrance to the building I noticed a lot of debris. As I turned to search , the bomb went off.

The blast that shattered my life that night was the work of the FALN. This notorious group of terrorists had been planting bombs for some time--ostensibly to secure Puerto Rican independence. But their criminal activity was not limited to indiscriminate bombing. It also included apolitical crimes such as weapons possession and robbery.

That I or my colleagues was not killed that night is a fortunate coincidence. FALN bombs were placed at locations where it was likely that innocent people would be killed or injured. I suffered the loss of one leg below the knee, severe scarring of my other leg, the loss of hearing in one ear, and the loss of my eyesight to the extent that I am no longer able to drive. I was in the hospital for two months. I underwent six operations for my leg and ears and received over 40 stitches to my face, ears and mouth. I spent a year going through rehabilitation to learn to walk again with myartificiall leg and injured right leg. Because of my injuries I have been unable to return to active duty in the police force. I am on an extended medical leave. The pain and trauma of these disabling injuries were multiplied by the suffering it caused my family: My parents, my daughter, my friends and my colleagues in the New York City Police Department. When you consider all the other whose lives were devastated during the FALN onslaught, the grief and suffering grows exponentially.

Seventeen year later, the insidious cancer that is the FALN again ulcerates American life. Forces have been at work to position these criminals for presidential clemency. Under ordinary circumstances the prospect of their release would be laughable. What could motivate any president to grant a request with the blood of American citizens?

Perhaps everyone in this room, and everyone in America, should review these cases:

They read the United States vs. The defendants, or the State of New York vs. The defendants. Roc Pascarella did not prosecute these cases. You did. The people did. And when it’s done, and just sentences are imposed they should be made to stand, particularly in cases of terrorism. Because when terrorists strike, they are not just maiming me, they are striking at the very foundation of America. Our very freedom makes us particularly vulnerable to the demented minions of terrorists all over the world.

In the press, their supporters describe these FALN terrorists as freedom fighters and political prisoners. That characterization is an abomination. The basis of American Democracy is dialogue and compromise within the political process. Democrats and Republicans do not butcher each other in the streets of Washington, or punctuate their rhetoric with bombs and bullets. The indiscriminate killing and maiming of innocent people to make a political statement is an attack on the American political system and should be dealt with accordingly. Nor do these misfits, as some would imply, represent the goals and ideas of Puerto Rican people, who have democratically rejected Puerto Rican independence, and morally rejected slaughter as a means to a political end.

In this very forum the clamor is heard for more severe sentences for hate crimes. What greater hate than to kill, not because of some demented distaste for another race or ethnic group, but to kill anyone; man, women, or child to make a merely political statement?

And finally, what kind of message does this exercise of clemency send to the world’s terrorists? The United States military is sent halfway around the world to destroy a terrorist’s camp in a foreign nation, while at home, a wile a group of criminal terrorists as exists anywhere in the world is released upon the strength of a hard wrought promise never to engage in violence again. A release, it appears, that is contrary to the recommendations and warnings of every federal agency involved in the investigation, apprehension, trial and incarceration of this group.

You, as elected representatives and as citizens of this nation, have a responsibility to the American people to expose the circumstances and the motivation which led to this assault on the American political system and the American justice system. You owe it to yourselves. You owe it to your constituents. You owe it to me. And you owe it to past and future victims of FALN murder and terror.

Thank you.

"Innocent Iraq"-How Ramzi Yousef, leader of the first WTC bombing got into the country

ON SEPTEMBER 1, 1992, Ramzi Yousef arrived at JFK airport. He presented an Iraqi passport without a U.S. visa, was briefly detained (and fingerprinted) for illegal entry, and granted asylum pending a hearing. Yousef went to stay at the apartment of Musab Yasin, an Iraqi living in Jersey City. So too did Abdul Rahman Yasin, Musab's younger brother, who arrived in America from Iraq soon after Yousef.

That is a blatant lie. I think it was Sen. Allard who clarified that point during the Armed Services Committee hearing on Tues. that approx. $79B was already included in the budget for this supplimental. I searched the committee site for the transcript, but it isn't posted yet. If anyone knows of an alternate site for such a recent transcript, if provided, I will search for the relevant testimony.
