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.

I have an idea, let's explore the Clinton terrorism record first.
Even her attacks put people to sleep.
That human piece of filth should keep her mouth shut...others may get to comparing the Clinton record with the Bush record - - and they don't have to dig too far....
It never ends with the Democrats. They are seething with hate and take any and every cheap shot to score political points. I am ashamed to live in the same country with people like Hillary, Pelosi, Dodd, Dean, etc. Rodents.
Let's see.
This happened in Britain.
They were caught before they got here.
And that proves Bush failed because.... ?????????????
Whaaat?
I got dummer just reading her statement.
How do these people live with themselves? The Dems have opposed the Patriot Act, The NSA wiretaping, and the Swift money tracking programs.
Hillary must truly realize that she is pandering to the stupid!
Hitlery doing what she does best; Complaining while saying and doing absolutely nothing.
Hil, Take a lock or Shut up!
Let's list the terrosit attacks States-side since Septmeber 11th:
Hmmmmmm......
And under Clinton? Too many to list!
But if Hillary ever gets elected she'll try to institute restrictions that will make martial law look like a picnic, all in the interest of the children of course!
Oh, honey. Do NOT go there. Or, actually, go ahead.
Does this broad ever listen to herself?
Senator Mrs. Bill:
You're obviously making the error of thinking you can defeat terrorists by defending every box, package, ship, airplane, letter, car, train and bus.
This is stupid and futile.
You defeat terrorism by defeating terrorists. A war in which you and your party are AWOL.
That's right; it was aimed at the Democrats BY the Democrats, i.e., by the Stupid for the Stupid.
Like the ol' adage "appeal to your base", that's what she's doing.
And the PLANNING for the 9-11 attacks was done on US soil UNDER the CLINTON years.
