Clinton in No Rush to Probe Past Intelligence Failures

Ex-president Bill Clinton, who's been under fire lately for not going after Osama bin Laden agressively enough during his own administration, said Friday that the U.S. should stay focused on the war on terrorism and not get distracted by investigations into past U.S. intelligence failures.

"There will come a time we can look back and say, 'Well, who should have done what, when.' And it ought to be done," Clinton told ABC's "Good Morning America."

"But now is not the time," he insisted.

Clinton's words appeared to be aimed at Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman, who called for a board of inquiry on Thursday into the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, saying the U.S. needed to find out why it was so vulnerable.

Since the Sept. 11 attacks, Clinton has seemed obsessed with dodging responsibility for any U.S. intelligence lapses, and has even stopped passers-by on the street to describe his own efforts to get bin Laden.

Yes, he ganted clemency to 17 convicted FALN terrorists, and on 9/10/99, 2 years and 1 day prior to WTC attack, they walked out of prison, free men.

I doubt that issue came up on GMA. I really do wish he would just shut up...

And to think we are still having to pay for protecting this lame piece of garbage.

The things he's in a rush to 'probe', he doesn't talk about in interviews.

SCREW this miserable piece of dung.He has the gonads,still,to stick his face in front of the american public after all that has been going down in the last month.

Let's see,he gets to ride into the Presidency on the coat tails of 3 republican administrations and get credit for the work and progress of a great economy.He leaves after 8 years and we're shoveling body parts off the streets of New York because this piece of dung has gutted the FBI/CIA and our Military.

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine in the FBI and he said they are still using windows 95.They hate the SOB with a passion just like we do.

Sorry to disagree with you, but he did leave a legacy. Unfortunately, 7000 lives had to pay for it. :-(

He dodges responsibility just like he dodged the draft. Hmm, wonder if his favorite ball team is the Dodgers???? Let's hope Barbara Olsen's book does them some real collateral damage! So much so that she will never run for president and they will just run, period! Scum doesn't begin to describe them. I like Arkantrash but that doesn't begin to describe them either. Like the rest of you, I just wish they'd disappear into a black hole in space and never heard from again.

Lest America ever forget why The Nameless One, W(B)-97, and all their enablers should be hectored, hounded, and harried into silence, until "clintonese is only spoken in Hell," look here:

Actually I'd like to see a probe into the deaths (murder) of Ron Brown and the 34+ others who died in that crash. Now THAT'S the crime that Clinton, the DNC, the mainstream media and it would appear even the Bush administration really fear. Just exhume and autopsy the body ... it's that easy.
