AMBRIDGE - Former president Bill Clinton yesterday blamed himself for not building stronger ties with the Muslim world during the 1990s, and criticized his administration and that of his predecessor, George H. W. Bush, for abandoning Afghanistan after the Soviet occupation of that country ended in 1989.

Excuse me, but I don't feel like doing JACK for Muslim families. America was built on Christian principle, and ever since the Muslim faith started to grow here, I cannot see a picture of Christ anywhere but a church because it may offend...well, I am offended by the muslim faith.
Screw 'em...

Will someone please give Billy Clinton a hammer and some nails and send him to help Jimmy Carter.
He's like a never ending nightmare!

He said he should have worked harder - and fought congressional resistanceClassic Clinton--appearing to accept blame, but really blaming it on Congress. I sure wish someone would put us out of his misery.

Put a sock in it!
for not building stronger ties with the Muslim world during the 1990s...You said you were gonna do something
and didn't! You said you were gonna "get" somebody named Ossama and
that would have been "ties that bind"! It would have bound him and kept several thousand of our Citizens alive!
...calling it ''a struggle for the foal of this new century.''Horses? You're talking horses? A red one, a white one? Perhaps black?
...''a higher level of consciousness''...You can stuff your transcendental BS too!
''We all have to change,''You first...
tell the truth!''The world's poor...What about
America's poor you jerk? Do
they have no
priority in
your "higher level of consciousness"?
But the world's rich cannot be led by people who play to our shortsighted selfishness, and pretend that we can forever claim for ourselves what we do not for others.''I'm sure you and your wife will lead the charge with
large donations of your own money first...RIGHT? You did say "our", indicating that you're one of "the world's rich"!
At several points, Clinton said the United States should acknowledge its own flaws as it strives to influence Muslim nations.Just what are "the flaws" we should acknowledge? Not kicking you out of office maybe?
Enough! I'm getting ill!
Put a sock in it!

Start with the word IDIOT and you can't go wrong!
This man is dangerous. He is indoctrinating a bunch of simple minded college students across the country--and we have to pay for the Secret Service to protect him. I see the pattern now--go to colleges and convince this generation of kids (hopefully the writers of future news articles and TV pundits) that he was really a good guy and that everything would have been great in his administration if he had just had a Democratic Congress.
He is attempting to wipe away his utter and complete incompetence. He is attempting to cloud the picture with his sophomoric comments and it is disgusting.
The fact is that he would have given away every secret weapon, every secret plan, every secret (except for his bimbos) if he had not been stopped by Rush Limbaugh, FOX News, and the Republican Congress.
He is a mental lightweight who has used and abused every person he has ever come in contact with over the course of his life. Everything has always been and always will be about himself. He doesn't care about America. He doesn't care about anyone.
Do you notice something strange--not one of the people from his administration has come out with a 'tell all' book. Now, this is remarkable since there is a lot to tell about his corrupt 8 years. Yet no one has stepped forward. Why? I would think that the lure of money (and the truth) might have touched one of the players. Yet not one has come forward. Could it be that they know how dirty the Clinton's play and they know that the Clinton's have dirt on everyone.
I just wish one of the players would finally come out and pour enough dirt on this man to bury him for good so that he will stop going around this country with his smirky face. He should be the one hiding in a cave. Hiding from shame. Hiding from the sweet sunshine of truth.
Remember, any comments about Clinton should always begin with the word IDIOT.

bill clinton is a stinking lump of excrement from the lowest form of life on earth. He resides in a dank, fetid sewer of human filth and degradation, wallowing in the putrescent muck and bodily waste of other low forms of life.
To: sarcasm
for once clinton is right there is plenty of blame to go around -bill for starters but there is also algore, maddie albright, crazy warren christopher, bill richardson oh and what the hell cant forget the former co-president and now junior senator from new york hllary clinton. i just dont have time to list the others.
To: philman_36
Bill Clinton cant stand the fact he is not President during this time.He may may not be directly resposible,but statements like that really enhances my dislike for him and his ilk.
To: sarcasm
Bubba never even visited NYC after the 93 WTC bombing in NYC. However, NY re-elected him and send his carploa wife to the senate.
NYC , I think is cursed since they elected Hiltary.
Hey Rockaway , Queens you too are all show and nothing else. Your rep is Wiener, the most liberal as$ H### .

''We all have to change,'' Clinton said. ''The world's poor cannot be led by people like Mr. bin Laden who think they can find their redemption in our destruction. But the world's rich cannot be led by people who play to our shortsighted selfishness, and pretend that we can forever claim for ourselves what we do not for others.''Why am I still amazed by how full of it he is?
Perhaps, if the slimebag quit raising money for his lieberry, Hillary, and the DNC, he could give a bit of his own cash to the disenfranchised poor. What a sanctimonious punk.
Hey Bill, BUGGER OFF!
