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."
Mad cow?
Mad Sow....
Her cookies are burning.
It's not like any FALN terrorists pose a threat to NY commuters. </sarc>
She is setting the stage - so when a terrorist event happens see I TOLD YOU SO - Bitc.... h
Hildabeast FOAD you POS!
Using tradgedy to bash the POTUS such a class act from this clown!
Says who?
It will be a vain attempt. She's tied to the legacy that brought us 9/11. There's no getting past that for her.
Yep, just in case the terrorists were pondering (as if they're not) the NYC transit system as a target - she just gave them the go-ahead signal.
"Pant Suit Poisining" ...it afflicts many poor souls
Why would we need protection from the religion of peace? Is Hillary saying that New Yorkers have something to fear from militant islamic representatives of the religion of peace?
I was flipping through channels last night and I saw a New York head of security or some such thing being asked about Clinton's remarks...whether they had been given enough. The guy said they had been given already over a billion dollars...or some unbelieveable amount.
She's the senator from New York..if they haven't gotten enough (and my guess is they have been)..why isn't it HER fault..
She's disgusting
Which was of absolutely no help in preventing the attacks, but may be useful in figuring out who and how.
If you think it is important to spend billions of dollars to perhaps have a better chance of catching people after they commit an atrocity, then you might agree with Hill.
Nothing has happened, but if it does, it will be...
say it with me, everyone...
BUSH'S FAULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLT!
*growl*
To hell with her outrage.
And look at all the good the video surveillace did there! It may eventually help them identify the perps, but did nothing to prevent the attack.
And may I add...divert attention from HERSELF...who would be more directly culpable because of her own position.
