Hillary Blames 9/11 Attack on Bush Tax Cuts

New York Senator Hillary Clinton said Saturday that she blames the Bush administration's tax cut program for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that leveled the World Trade Center and destroyed part of the Pentagon.

"If we hadn't passed the big tax cut last spring, that I believe undermined our fiscal responsibility and our ability to deal with this new threat of terrorism, we wouldn't be in the fix we're in today," Clinton told CNN's Jonathan Karl.

In addition to undermining the country's ability to deal with terrorist attacks, Clinton said the Bush tax cuts worsened the economic downturn in the wake of Sept. 11.

"We had eight years of prosperity because we paid down our debt and we got rid of our deficit," she complained. "We hit a rough spot, and it was turned into a terrible bump because of the attacks of September 11."

Clinton also criticized the economic stimulus package passed last month by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

"I thought the plan passed by the House of Representatives was a fiscal disaster that would set our country back for years to come," the 2004 presidential hopeful said, adding, "I don't understand how they passed it with a straight face."

Clinton slammed Bush and congressional Republicans after telling CNN that "the fight against terrorism has to be such a united effort."

CNN's Karl did not ask Clinton about her husband's comments Wednesday, where he seemed to blame the 9/11 attacks on 19th century U.S. slavery and the mistreatment of the American Indian.

She was also not queried on accounts by former White House insiders who say her husband was too preoccupied by his extramarital liaisons to follow through on repeated promises to hunt down Osama bin Laden.

oh...THAT'S RIGHT....gee what would we do with out the Klintons? I blindly thought that 09/11 was because some crazed American hating islamic fundementalist trained a bunch of goombas to go kill Americans......and got away with it because for 8 years we had no leadership, only a guy who liked to play with interns....

Silly me, now I know that it is really the fault all the evil Republicans of European decent who made those poor down trodden "freedom fighters" take such a drastic action.........(barf)

Man, I hope that these two keep the stupid remarks coming....I personally believe that the American Sheeple have woken up and will see them for what they are....there is no place in this country for their crapola now.....

So, according to Hillary, I guess the best way to avert more 9-11 attacks is the Clinton Model; i.e. RAISE MORE TAXES and PARDON MORE TERRORISTS!!

Has anybody looked into a RECALL HILLARY effort? Does anbody have knowledge of New York election laws?

Of course, if she's convicted of a felony, like she should be, she can't serve out her term either.
