Hillary 'Outraged' at Bush Security Failure

2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Friday she was "outraged" that President Bush hasn't spent more money to beef up security on New York City's mass transit system in the wake of Thursday's train bombings in London.

"I'm absolutely outraged by the failure of the administration to release the [rail security] funding that Congress approved last year," the top Democrat complained.

"We are woefully behind where London and other subway systems are because London does have the video surveillance," she fumed. "I just don't understand what the holdup is."

Even before the smoke cleared in London, Clinton was on the attack, ripping Bush in a statement posted to her official Senate web site on Thursday:

"It is imperative that the millions of New Yorkers who travel on trains and buses know that our tunnels and facilities continue to operate with the highest security operations in place. The President’s budget calls for a $50 million cut in funding for rail and transit security this year, which is clearly a step in the wrong direction."

Mrs. Clinton vowed to continue to press the White House to get the job done, saying, "I will work to ensure that we provide the resources needed to meet our rail and transit security needs."

OBL has a better shot at being President than SHRILLARY.

Her capacity to screw up America is greatly diminished, she will have to get used to being just another whiny loudmouth Senator from NY from a dying party.

Then next thing she'll be saying is daughter Chelsea was right there, and she just missed the bus.

She's such a sympathetic figure.

[Rome2000]

Not just Hillary but the entire big red democrat machine is busy blaming Bush for the London attacks.

The lie only convinces their fellow travelers, fair minded Americans find it revolting.

***Rush pointed out yesterday that Congress is considering taking money back from New York. Apparently they have some $250 million they haven't spent. And it's been four years. ***

I suspect that taking the money back from NY State is because it's just plain too easy for them to bank the money, collect interest, and give the pols more tax money to waste.

Mad cow?

LOL! I Don't have to read any further than this...

Hill said she and Chuck were outraged. Hill makes sure Chuck is cover for whatever might come back and bite her in the bum. The admin. spokesman said actually that mass transit funds were spread over several programs/bills and amounted to hundreds of millions, no cut.

Well now that her and her wife are rich, let THEM put up money especially since THEIR adminstration's in-action is partly (or wholly) responsible for the crap we're in today.:(

[MikeHu]

Doesn't that media hog know another tune?

[Dawgreg]

Oh I hope you're right! Wouldn't it be just delicious if Pirro beats that crone and sends her back to the big ol' double-wide called the Clintoon library (and as Rush says, and massage parlor)? *~*

A few Bernard Getz's in the subways can do more for security than any number of cameras

"It is imperative that the millions of New Yorkers who travel on trains and buses know that...

should conclude:

...that short of strip-searching every passenger for every ride and posting soldiers in the tunnels with line-of-vision spacing and night-vision goggles, there's no way they should feel invulnerable."

Let's face it people, there is always a risk of attack in a free society.

The best way for us to improve our security is to kill the enemy. Just as we are doing in Iraq, despite the Marxist's and her colleagues' attempts to get us out of there and turn it into a quagmire.

"... find a microphone and bloviate about how it's the President's fault ..."


That's right .. and people were saying that Hillary was one of the few dems who had figured out Bush wasn't running for re-election .. but lately she's returned to the Bush-bashing.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

And when they made the statement I'm sure they didn't see the logical fallacy (that the video cameras didn't prevent anything in London). Idiots.

[BIGLOOK]

Hmmmm.....NYC is damn near a state unto itself. Has its own tax system, a Transit Authority with a police force (NYCTA cops are better than any video camera) and NYPD is a small army.

When has Hillary ever ridden on the rails? Just how much time has she spent in NYC (or NY state) in the past 5 years?

Hey Hillary, want cameras in the subways? Go on a fact finding tour. The cameras will be there.

Good luck getting through the turnstile!

The Outrage Queen of New York.

Do we really want to hear this nag for any more years?

[rawcatslyentist]

It's amazing what a little training in Salmon Pak can do for the inexperienced airplane hijaker!
How a majority of Americans are ignorant of Moohamhead Atta's training there is still a mystery to me also.

We have to go after the source to end this war without killing all of mankind. Melt mecca, vapooorize the crapbah, the moohamheads and all the queerans with it!
Or bow to bulllah and believe every word outta an illiterate epileptic murderous child molesters mouth is the word of GOD!

[MikeHu]

Sadly, she's the most articulate voice in the Democratic Party -- making all that leadership look like The Evil Queen and the Seven Dwarfs.

[DaiHuy]

And Hillary, how much money did your ex-president husband spend on beefing up us security, the CIA, the military, anti terrorism etc...

[RedEyeJack]

As the wife of the man who pardoned Puerto Rican terrorists that tried to kill U.S. Congressmen on the floor of the House of Representatives, she should be careful of accusing anyone of being soft on terrorism. In fact, I'll TLAM her camel farm and raise her a aspirin factory...
