Clinton: To Stop Terrorism, West Must Share its Wealth

Last month Bill Clinton told a Georgetown University audience that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were the fault of U.S. slavery and mistreatment of the American Indian.

Now he's changed his tune, downplaying the slavery angle in favor of a new justification for Osama bin Laden's 9/11 kamikaze hit squad: The West won't share its wealth with an impoverished third world.

On Thursday Clinton appeared before the Richard Dimbley lecture series in Warwick, Great Britain to give an address he titled "The Struggle for the Soul of the 21st Century."

Some highlights:
"It was exactly a year ago today, near the end of my tenure as President, on my final trip overseas, that I went to Warwick University with Tony Blair to deliver a speech.....
"On that day a year ago, I said 'we have seen how abject poverty accelerates conflict, how it creates recruits for terrorists and those who incite ethnic and religious hatred, how it fuels a violent rejection of the economic and social order on which our future depends'.

"The world has now witnessed a tragic, graphic illustration of that new reality, one that, as Mr Dimbleby implied, has made a lot of people rethink their rosy projections for this new century.....

"We in the wealthy countries have to spread the benefits of the 21st century world and reduce the risks so we can make more partners and fewer terrorists in the future."

Clinton continued:
"September 11th was the dark side of this new age of global interdependence.... If you don't want to live with barbed wire around your children and grandchildren for the next hundred years, then it's not enough to defeat the terrorist.

"We have to make a world where there are far fewer terrorists, where there are fewer potential terrorists and more partners. And that responsibility falls primarily upon the wealthy nations, to spread the benefits and shrink the burdens."

A transcript of Clinton's remarks was made available by the BBC.

Whenever he opens his mouth, it is a lie, or wrong message. He simply cannot go away and stinks.

[Travis McGee]

Mark my words: he may be delusional, or crazy like a fox, but Clintigula is running for UN Secretary General.

(He'll get an easy waiver on the restrictions from his greedy adoring third world sychophants.)

Clinton: To Stop Terrorism, West Must Share its Wealth

Beginning with his newly acquired wealth. Then Hitlery's.

[Libertarianize the GOP]

Might work if we are as poor as the rest of the World then Osama or any other want-to-be Dictator could just take over without having to resort to terrorism.

[flamefront]

What? Is Clinton demogoguing this new tune for Daschle as part of the economic stimulus program?

[Post Toasties]

Clowntoon - shut the f**k up and go away, you seditious idiot.

[onyx]

I'm all for grabbing Arab-Muslim oil too!

[JusticeLives]

This is easy for a Socialist to say. To prove his sincerity, I suggest calling on him to donate the monies gained from both Cl_nton books.

[pubmom]

Throw money at the problem and it will go away, how typical.

Money will stop the trouble between the Israeli's and the Palestinians, eh Bill Slickmeister?

I have never understood why this man was ever lauded as a brain, he's warped beyond measure.

Chamberlain: To Stop Hitlerism, We must share Czechlovkia.

[Frances_Marion]

Maybe he can donate his Dreamworks salary if he takes that honorary job Spielberg offered him....and Hitlery can donate all the cash she gained from her "insightful" stock market dealings...

[TheGrimReaper]

My sentiments exactly.
Klintoon doesn't care if what he says is insane babble... just as long as somebody - anybody - is listening and aiming the camera in his direction.
Is there an empty cell at Leavenworth?

Chamberlain: To Stop Hitlerism, We must share Czechlovkia

Excellent comparison!

[JSteff]

Beginning with his newly acquired wealth. Then Hitlery's.

But we all know that the elite is exempt from things like that. What he means is what he said. The US, meaning the normal citizens, must share their wealth.

Why can't that SOB just shut up and go away.

[NYpeanut]

So let's all write the clintons and ask for money. If we don't get it, they are fair game for robbery.

[rockfish59]

why doesn't he donate his 'boxers' and then just shut his effing, white trash mouth?

[onyx]

ROFLOL!!!!! Fair game if we don't get any money!!!!! LOL!

nopardons --- you have to read this thread!

[onyx]

The SOB will never shut-up and he will never willingly go-away. I'm afraid we're stuck with him until death do us part. His death, I hope.
