Bush's Anti-Terrorism Record
(CBS/AP) SCHENECTADY, N.Y. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a possible contender for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination in 2008, on Monday criticized the Bush administration for failing to do enough to protect the country from terrorists.
Clinton's comments came after authorities in the United Kingdom last week said they thwarted a terror plot involving airplanes bound from Britain to the United States. Conspirators allegedly planned to blow up as many as 10 planes flying from Britain to the United States using liquid explosives, which the U.S. Transportation Security Administration's security equipment cannot detect in carry-on luggage.
"We've done some things right," the New York senator said at a community event in Schenectady. "Obviously we've beefed up airport security in some ways, but as we've learned over the last week not in every way that matters. We still have not done what we need to do to protect our ports, our borders, our bridges, our transit systems, our rail lines, it's a long list.
"I don't think our long-term strategy for homeland security is yet what it needs to be," she said.
Department of Homeland Security officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It was on this thread that I said earlier that I was changing back to my original tagline; for Clinton to say this shows me that she lives in an alternate universe.

Oops, sorry I didn't see you were already on the thread before I pinged. Your tagline is one of my all time favorites.
I'll resurrect an oldie but goodie too. :^)

ROFL. Perfect tagline. No problem with the double ping; I'm glad I didn't miss this because it just reminded me how delusional the (ahem) woman really is.

Great job. Now, we should send the list to Queen Hillary and ask that she comment on each item before she blasts anyone. People in glass houses!!

Bush has absolutely not done enough to protect us from Hillary.

That we should do; especially since All of the attacks on Americans, happened on the Clintons' watch or because of them and none, NONE...zip, nada, zip, zero, have been due to anything President Bush has done. And since 9/11 ( a Clinton legacy ), there hasn't been another attack by the Islamnazis...not a one.
To: Peach
The Clintons released 16 Marxist PALN terrorists to help Comrade Hillary get the Puerto Rican vote in New York State.
Releasing terrorists and letting them roam free -- that's what Democrats do best.

Warner.....Senator Clinton is 2 steps away from 100% pure evil. Those that have been within the Clintons political circles seem to conveniently wind up dead....70+ people that is. That in of itself begs to the obvious ruthlessness of the Klintoon Klan.

But Hillary doesn't have a chance in hell of being elected. Even Dems hate her in large percentages. Warner is tougher. And a race with Hillary would be comical as she'll gaff all over the place and you'd see motivation in our base like never before. If Warner was to win, she'll still have access to the White House as one of the Party's main leaders. We should face her and humiliate her once and for all IMO.

I agree with your logic and I yield. However, if the Jackasses were to take the White House, I hope it's Warner, not Hitlery. This country spiraled down enough under hubby's shenanigans.Illegal immigration (W's biggest boondoggle)and lack of a serious national energy policy (Congress's biggest boondoggle) are the 2 biggest issues that will hurt the GOP this Nov. and Nov. '08.
I think the GOP is going to loose some seats because of conservative frustrations and Reagan Dems swinging back to the left.

WHY THE CLINTONS FAILED "TO CAPTURE OR KILL THE TALLEST MAN IN AFGHANISTAN"

"Mr. bin Laden used to live in Sudan. He was expelled from Saudi Arabia in '91 and he went to the Sudan. We'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again. They released him [bin Laden]. At the time, '96, he had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America.3 So I pleaded with the Saudis to take him, 'cause they could have; but they thought it was a hot potato. They didn't and that's how he wound up in Afghanistan." hear bill clinton Sunday, Aug. 11, 2002 Clinton Reveals on Secret Audio: I Nixed Bin Laden Extradition Offer

hen the damning tape surfaced, focus was naturally on bill clinton's (oops!) admission.
No one paid much attention to what may turn out to be even more incriminating: clinton's curious explanation of the missile strike at Kandahur that took out a phalanxlike formation of... empty tents... and allowed bin Laden (and the Mideast Muslim ego) to escape unscathed. Ever notice how a crook volunteers way too much information when he's trying to explain away his crimes? This is especially true when the crook thinks you're an idiot and he's a genius.
"When I bombed his training camp and tried to kill him and his high command in 1998 after the African -Embassy bombings, some people criticized me for doing it. We just barely missed him by a couple of hours. I think whoever told us he was going to be there told somebody who told him that our missiles might be there. I think we were ratted out." bill clinton Sunday, Aug. 11, 2002 Clinton Reveals on Secret Audio: I Nixed Bin Laden Extradition Offer

I agree. We were ratted out. bill clinton could not afford to capture or kill bin Laden. This information courtesy of none other than Madeleine Albright.clinton's reaction--or should I say non-reaction-- to the USS Cole bombing in 2000--an unambiguous act of war--validates Albright's assertion. clinton's refusal to take bin Laden in 1996--validates Albright's assertion. That clinton summarily ignored and urged all of us to ignore the first attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor, the 1993 WTC bombing--ignore the first major Islamofascist terrorist attack on the continental United States!!--validates Albright's assertion. The fact that "our national mourner," bill "I feel your pain" clinton, never even visited the site--he was only 15 minutes away mere days after the WTC bombing--validates Albright's assertion like nothing else.

ALBRIGHT INDICTS CLINTON FOR TERRORISM FAILURE (and doesn't even know it)
by Mia T, 4.28.06
ALBRIGHT1: 'Bin Laden and his Network Declared War2 on the United States and Struck First and We Have Suffered Deeply'
This legacy confab is in and of itself proof certain of clinton's deeply flawed character, and a demonstration in real time of the way in which the clinton years were about a legacy that was incidentally a presidency. Madeleine Albright captured the essence of this dysfunctional presidency best when she explained why clinton couldn't go after bin Laden. According to Richard Miniter, the Albright revelation occurred at the cabinet meeting that would decide the disposition of the USS Cole bombing by al Qaeda [that is to say, that would decide to do what it had always done when a "bimbo" was not spilling the beans on the clintons: Nothing]. Only Clarke wanted to retaliate militarily for this unambiguous act of war. Albright explained that a [sham] Mideast accord would yield [if not peace for the principals, surely] a Nobel Peace Prize for clinton. Kill or capture bin Laden and clinton could kiss the 'accord' and the Peace Prize good-bye. If clinton liberalism, smallness, cowardice, corruption, perfidy--and, to borrow a phrase from Andrew Cuomo, clinton cluelessness--played a part, it was, in the end, the Nobel Peace Prize that produced the puerile pertinacity that enabled the clintons to shrug off terrorism's global danger.

MISSING CLINTON AUDIO! 'Can we kill 'em tomorrow?' (+Albright-Fulbright-Nobel TERRORISM revelations)
by Mia T, 4.24.06
'Can we kill 'em tomorrow?' THE ADDRESS
|
THE (oops!) TRUTH
|
"In this interdependent world, we should still have a preference for peace over war.... But sometimes we would have these debates where people would say, if I didn't take some military action this very day, people would look down their nose at America and think we were weak. And I always thought of Senator Fulbright.... 6 So anytime somebody said in my presence, 'Hey, if you don't do this, people will think you're weak,' I always asked the same question for eight years, 'Can we kill 'em tomorrow?' I don't think we can bring 'em back tomorrow, but can we kill 'em tomorrow? If we can kill them tomorrow, then we're not weak.... 1 I learned that as a 20-year-old kid watching Bill Fulbright. Listening." bill clinton Fulbright Prize address April 12, 2006

"I remember exactly what happened. Bruce Lindsey said to me on the phone, 'My God, a second plane has hit the tower.' And I said, 'Bin Laden did this.' that's the first thing I said. He said, 'How can you be sure?' I said 'Because only bin Laden and the Iranians could set up the network to do this and they [the Iranians] wouldn't do it because they have a country in targets. Bin Laden did it.' I thought that my virtual obsession 2 with him was well placed and I was full of regret that I didn't get him." bill clinton Sunday, Sept 3, 2002 Larry King Live

- ... I thank you for this award, even though, in general, I think former presidents and presidents should never get awards. I was delighted when Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize because I thought he earned it, and I thought it was great because he got it as much for what he did after office as when he was in office. In general, I think that the fact that we got to be president is quite honor enough.
