Bill Clinton says Bush erred by giving Saddam priority over bin Laden

NEW YORK -- President Bush wasted international sympathy for the United States after the 2001 terrorist attacks by shifting from the search for Osama bin Laden to the ousting of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, former President Clinton said Tuesday.

The move alienated many U.S. allies and created a false impression among Americans that Saddam had a key role in the al-Qaida-engineered terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Clinton said. "I think the world was really pulling for us after 9-11," he said, but the Bush administration "divided the world ... to pursue our vision _ not because of any imminent threat but because that's what they wanted to do."

Oh, OK. No problem. I thought it was Clinton's breath. Close enough. He is an a$$hole after all.

Bush's comeback should be, "Clinton erred by giving Monica priority over Bin Laden." MAYBE it would shut him up.

I saw a clip of Klintoon speaking at the MOVEON.ORG meeting today and he didn't have very many nice things to say about our President and Commander in Chief.

BUT waha DID make me smile was that he now makes his pretty white hair all fluffy so that we might not notice how THIN it is on top.
Nothing so sweet like seeing some vain AS*hole having to see his NOSE erupt into a misshapen potato and his hair fall out all over his dinnerplate.

Just three questions for the Pro Islamofascist Clintoon:

1. How much did the $oddomite pay you from his Oil for Food Scam program to defend him then and now?

3. What happen to all those Iraqui WMDs you were so concerned about when you stained Monica's Blue Dress?

2. Would you leave America and shut up for ever if we find out that Osama bin Laden assumed cave temp in December 2001 when he got splattered all over that cave?

LMAO, as if Clinton placed a priority on Laden. He was gifted with Laden three times, but has the gaul to address the issue of Bush vs Laden. You and I couldn't do it, but if Ronald Reagan were well, the guy would kick Clinton's ass but good. And God how he deserves it.

Clinton who let the demon Bin Laden go gave us 9-11, all the deaths associated with this war and billions of costs that will be over a trillion some day.
Clinton is a stupid evil Fother Mucker who is responsible for this would war IMO! al Qaeda may never have grown with Bin Laden money and guidance without the Clinton enabling!

I for one would rather see Bin Ladin in jail than Saddam.

Why would you want a guy that's been dead 2 1/2 years smelling up a jail cell?

... the grand poobah Demo-crap Clinton, is tied to communist Moveon.org, socialism and the communist way have suffered a tremendous blow when we attacked Iraq's cash cow.

"By MADISON J. GRAY Associated Press Writer May 12, 2004, 1:28 AM EDT

NEW YORK -- Former President Clinton lent his support Tuesday to two interest groups that have sharply criticized President Bush while raising money to help Democrat John Kerry's White House bid.

Clinton, along with AFL-CIO president John Sweeney, spoke at an Apollo Theater event held by the MoveOn.org voter fund and Voices for Working Families.

Clinton criticized Bush on his economic policies, particularly his tax cuts, and said the president had reduced after-school programs and the number of police on streets.

"You have to believe that your children and grandchildren will live in an America that will be shaped by whether we ratify the course for wrong, or go back to the one that's worked for eight years."

MoveOn.org is a San Francisco-based advocacy group started in 1998 that claims about 2 million online members. It's been accused by Republicans of violating campaign finance laws while raising unlimited amounts of "soft money" -- corporate, union or unlimited donations -- to run ads critical of Bush."

...and his book release to push Hitlery out there is the only thing I can find in him now that will make Bush a shoe in in November.

Traitor Clinton needs to shut up and stop aiding and abetting the enemies of the United States of America.
