Top GOP'er 'Furious' at Hillary, Calls for 9-11 Clinton Probe

Oklahoma Sen. Don Nickles, the number two Republican in the Senate, said Saturday that he was "furious" at his colleague, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, over comments she made last week suggesting that President Bush could have prevented the 9-11 attacks.

Then, in a warning to Clinton and other Democrats who have focused exclusively on 9-11 intelligence failures during President Bush's first eight months in office, Nickles added, "If we're going to have an investigation, we should have an investigation of why we didn't respond strongly to previous acts of terror."

"I'm pretty critical of the previous administration," the leading Republican explained during a lengthy interview with his homestate newspaper, the Oklahoman. "They dropped the ball in the war on terrorism. They never engaged in the war on terrorism."

Nickles has already begun laying the groundwork for a Clinton-9-11 terror probe, showing the newspaper prepared charts listing five terrorist attacks on the U.S. during the Clinton administration, not counting the Oklahoma City bombing.

Juxtaposed with the charts' graphics, the Oklahoma conservative has inserted quotes from President Clinton promising a strong and forceful response. But, said Nickles, those promises were never followed by effective action.

The Republican leader complained that U.S. facilities at home and abroad were attacked repeatedly during the Clinton years but, "we didn't do anything about it."

He cited the 1998 al Qaeda bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa, the 1996 Khobar Towers military barracks bombing and the attack two years ago on the U.S.S. Cole.

In light of the Clinton administration's failed record on terrorism, Nickles said that Mrs. Clinton's attack on President Bush was "very inappropriate."

Okay, followed the link. Java started and sent a record to redsheriff.com/privacy.htm, a "measurement". What's up with that?

[CyberAnt]

"investigation would already be underway"

And ... how do you know it isn't?? Do you have inside information?? I didn't think so! Go whine somewhere else, okay!!

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

Huh. I have not idea what that is all about. It's just a link to a public posting on a public site...

[SCHROLL]

If Nickles handles this right, he can not only get both Clintons, Gore, The Dem's in the Senate who refused to look at the evidence in the impeachment and kept the administration in power, and Trent Lott who cut the deal to rig the impeachment trial. I guess that would be too much to ask, but one can dream can't they?

[sneakypete]

Yeah, Ms co-President. When did you know and what did you do about WTC-93, Waco, Oklahoma City, Khobar Towers, etc. etc.

She can't recall.

..their comin to get ya!!!!! Hilldabeast and Clintoon the red nose Rapist!!!!!!!!

No,they're not. This is just a dog and pony show being run by Nickles to rally political support for himself. A political move that means nothing. He's even partnered-up with Chuckie Schumer to get the same sweetheart deal for the victims of OKC that the victims of the WTC in NYC got. Wants taxpayer money to provide $1 million+ to each of the families. In short,he is scum,just like they are.

He is not the only one who is furious with her!

The thing that worries me the most out of all of this (and this is just good old fashioned politics, I don't know why anybody would be shocked) is that they'll try and outdo one another in tring to "prevent" future attacks, which means we'll be the ones to end up paying for this, whether it be losing a few rights or whatever.

"...main stream media deceived the American public into thinking that the real threat in the 90's was talk radio,conservatives,militia and Christians."

Very, very well said, rob..............as usual.

[RightOnline]

Frankly, Carl, I found Hillary's yammerings on this subject to be further evidence of her legendary "political tin ear". She sure wanted to be known as a "co-President" during her dirtbag hubby's tenure..............yet she surely wouldn't want to be associated with his weak, limp-wristed approach to terrorism, now, would she? Yet, she is just stupid enough to swing the klieg lights 'round and invite scrutiny of her husband's miserable performance in this area.........thereby inviting the easiest of responses from the Republicans: "Oh yeah, Hill???? Well, sweet cheeks, just where the hell were you and that husband of yours from '92 through 2000??? Asleep at the switch?? Was he getting bl*w jobs from Monica during those attacks and the response planning as well??? "

"Bag it, Hillary. Just go stuff it."

[Howlin]

For the record, I just saw Larry Klayman on MSNBC agreeing with Hillary Clinton AND Tom Daschle concerning this matter. He actually said that the Bush administration was WORSE than the Clinton administration.

[spectre]

For the record, Larry Klayman has not been speaking coherently for a long, long time.

In light of the Clinton administration's failed record on terrorism, Nickles said that Mrs. Clinton's attack on President Bush was "very inappropriate."

Hey, Mud and Lan. Maybe Nickles is the one to finally wake up and begin the procedures to INDICT, CONVICT, and LOCKUP the Klintoons!

[friendly]

Ah yes, some more coldly crafted pontifications from the traitorous "co-president," Hillary Clinton, truly "The Teflon Sociopath."

I wish my ears could never be traumatized by the monotonic, condescending voice of that tree trunk legged, encrusted black pant suited, paradigm of all that is American lawyerhood, wife of disbarred "husband" Bill, terminally narcissistic, grandiose, lying, conspiring, porcine, eternally unindicted criminal.

[Euro-American Scum]

GWB and Ashcroft gave her a free pass and she's going to use it to thrash them thoroughly. . .

Kinda makes you wonder if the Hildebeast has FBI files on everyone in the entire country.

[RightOnline]

You've got to be kidding..................Larry actually said that?????????????

{sigh}...................I just don't, for the life of me, know what's gotten into that boy....................

(BTW.......hope you and yours have a terrific Memorial Day Weekend :) )
