FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON ON NOT CAPTURING BIN LADEN: 'At least I tried. That's the difference between me and some, including all the right wingers. They ridicule me for trying. They had eight months to try, they did not try. I tried. So I tried and failed'...

Uhh... thanks.

[RasterMaster]

Looks like he was "Vince Foster-ed" to me...

[Crawdad]

What a vulgar, vulgar man.

[Graymatter]

I've lived most of my life in big cities, so I know that look all too well. He was surely high in that photo.
But we all know wickedness, and yes, there is usually something small and frightened about it.

[al baby]

So in effect, Bill Clinton paid for 9-11


Yup with our money

[Condor51]

1. Bush and 'the right wingers' were not "in office" nor have "Eight Months" to get Binny.
   
2. He had 234 days - from Jan 20th 2001 to 9-11-2001
   
3. That's an average of 7.7 months
4. Thanks to Albore 36 days were LOST for Dubya's transition team
   
5. During that time KLINTOON refused to give vital info to either Dubya or Gorebot's team.
   
6. As he didn't 'know' who would be POTUS (hahaha) Billy Jeff couldn't wouldn't share Top Secret National Security info with the potential looser.
   
7. Bush had the SHORTEST amount of transition time in modern history
   
8. Then there was all the time involved (wasted) in getting Dubya's cabinet approved by the RAT mopes in the Senate.
   
9. Lastly - because of all of the above Bush still didn't have all HIS people in place on 9-11. He was literally stuck with Clintonoid holdovers - who did NOT exactly have cooperation with the new administration on their mind.

So...... 'mr' Billy Jeff Blythe Clinton - go pound sand.

Great Prevaricator: "I tried"

I guess it all depends on what the meaning of the word "try" is....

[AliVeritas]

Snif... they don't like us. A peek at the dark side.

I'm proud to report, a lot of the comments are reasonable... prayer works.

Seriously, the only people who watch Fox News are the freeper idiots and rignt-wing nut jobs along with a few dem supporters who feel we much watch it in order to see what lies they're spreading.

Democrats should just boycott doing Fox News. CNN is bad but tolerable and MSNBC is at least trying (but not that good). Fox News is a joke, not like any democrat is going to convince anyone who watches Fox News to change their mind because these viewers are borderline BRAIN DEAD

But they have ideas (good to see too... a kinder, gentler party):

There were a lot of Clinton policies I had major beef with - NAFTA and workfare among them - but he did not let right wingers roll all over him. If Kerry had displayed 25 percent of Clinton's defense-to-offense skills, we wouldn't even be talking about bullshit elections in Ohio today. I think that if Al Gore were to run again, he'd be a lot better defending attacks and turning it around on them.

And this one:

We desperately need Al Gore to run for many reasons. If Hillary runs we'll lose for one and only Gore has the stature to take on McCain.

Ghost Wars by Steve Coll outlines the number of times UBL could have been captured and eliminated by the Clinton Admin. This passage sort of sums it up:

Ghost Wars, page 449
When the Clinton administration failed to authorize an attack on bin Laden during a desert hunting trip in 1999, "For some of the ground-level officers involved in the bin Laden chase the decision to hold fire seemed almost unforgivable. It had been one thing before the African embassy bombings to have their plan to raid Tarnak Farm [denied] ... but with the desert camp, recalled one participant, 'We knew he was there. We had assets in place. There was little risk to life and limb to anybody..and it would have been, we thought, definitive ... Some of them [CIA] blamed Clarke, speculating that he was so close to the U.A.E. royal family because of defense deals he had previously negotiated that he would never take the risk of offending them.... '"

[stockstrader]

Yes, he is 'pi**ed off' that anyone DARE chanllenge him on anything. He was really, REALLY 'pi**sed off' on this one, though--given the loss of his FREE PASS by the MSM because of "THE PATH TO 9/11.

He has always been that way--flying off the handle at ANY challenge. His arrogance, megalomania, and narcissism is only ENHANCED by his unquestioned mendacity.

I think it was Charles Krauthammer during the Monica fiasco that described Slick's,,,,"Reflexive mendacity unhindered by conscience".

[RasterMaster]

If you want to see BJ come totally unglued, ask him about “Atlanta Rules”.....

See entry for January 20, 1997!

[krunkygirl]

Thanks for posting that--it was great to re-read and put this man's personality in context. Hope many see the interview tomorrow and ask how could we ever have entrusted the nuclear football to him?!

[conservative blonde]

You are exactly right. Poor Billy was disheartened by "The Path to 9-11". Finally one MSM source got it partially right and Billy boy doesn't know what to do. I saw him exploding last night on FOX and the bags under his eyes were ready to pop. Sure hope Hilarity can comfort him.

[stockstrader]

Yep, here is Slick being his natural self (according to a source who would certainly know)--

“I take care of my friends, and I f*ck with my enemies.”
--Bill Clinton,
quoted by George Stephanopolos in Stephanopolous’s book, “All Too Human”

[krunkygirl]

Agreed! Thanks for posting--can't wait for the on-air meltdown tomorrow!
Clinton having an on-air heart attack!

[RasterMaster]

I can't verify "Atlanta Rules"....have you heard of that before?

[eeevil conservative]

YOU SO ROCK!

I used all your links....and put together a little something....

I have SOOOOO much to do this weekend- LOL!

you truly are the BEST!

[AliVeritas]

O Boy.

Think Progress has some real winners.

- “All of President Bush’s neocons claimed that I was too obsessed with finding Bin Laden when they didn’t have a single meeting about Bin Laden for the nine months after I left office.” - Right on Bill. I wish you were still president. 9/11 would never have happened. We would not be in Iraq. We would not be trillions of dollars in debt. We would not have idots like Bush, Cheney, Condi, and Rumsfeld bringing down America.

- I think the 06 election is pretty much over tonight. We won.
That is, if - and this is big IF - the Dems follow Clinton’s cue
and make the first 8 months of Bush, Tora Bora, afghan to Iraq
deflection the issue.
Bushies will have no response and we will have the election in the bag.
Now that we have the transcript, Fox cannot edit this.

- RE: #11

I believe that a Vice President must be elegable to take the office of President. For instance, a Split Ticket I’d love to see: McCain/(B) Clinton. If some fruitloop were to decide that McCain no longer deserved to live. He gets lucky and takes McCain out. Clinton would introduce a horrible bind in this situation: He could not fill the role of President because he is Term Limited.

Comment by Jeremy — September 22, 2006 @ 9:15 pm

Nope…incorrect. Re-read amendment #22 to the Constitution:

Amendment XXII

Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

There is nothing to prevent a two term President from becoming Vice President, and subsequently assuming the office of President due to death of a sitting President as specified in Amendment 20. I don’t think Article 12 precludes this from happening (”But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States”) but that would be an interesting legal argument on original intent.

-Nice to see former Pres. Bill Clinton stick up for himself on 9/11 smears, but he still needs to explain his association with the Bush family?! The Bush clan has completely destroyed Clinton’s legacy, but he refuses to criticise Bush Junior who told Karl Rove to smear Bill constantly! Bill is a clever politician, but he has been out-conned by Bush Senior!

Bill if you read this post, then wake the hell up, and realize the Bushes are your biggest enemy! Hillary needs to wake up too and stop helping Junior!

- […] I think I need to take a moment here and bask in how absolutely AMAZING President Clinton IS. In case you haven’t seen my Facebook profile, Clinton is still my president. And I know you all check Think Progress every chance you get just like I do, so you’ve already seen the best transcript ever. […]

It depends on what the meaning of "try" is.
