Hillary: Bush Summoned Bill on 9/11

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that President Bush summoned her husband, ex-president Bill Clinton, back to the United States in the hours after 9/11, contradicting the version of events offered by Mr. Clinton last year.

"My husband was in Australia and the president called him back and sent a plane for him," Mrs. Clinton told National Public Radio's Tavis Smiley in an interview commemorating the 9/11 attacks.

Clinton made the claim that Bush summoned her husband while describing concerns about the welfare of her family in the aftermath of the World Trade Center catastrophe.

"In my own family, you may recall that my daughter was in lower Manhattan on the morning of Sept. 11," she told Smiley. "It took hours to make contact with her and thankfully we were able to make sure she was OK."

Then Mrs. Clinton made the comment suggesting that the Bush White House had summoned her husband back to the U.S. from his Australian speaking tour.

But in an interview last year, Mr. Clinton indicated that the Bush White House sent a military plane for him as a courtesy, not because he was being "called back."

"The Bush administration was kind enough to give me a plane," he told NBC's Tom Brokaw a week after the attacks. "I thought I should be back in America and back in New York. And they provided me a plane. ... And I was glad to be back home with our people here and to do what I could to encourage people in the recovery efforts."

Mrs. Clinton told Smiley that on 9/11 last year, she felt she "had an obligation as a senator from New York to reach the White House," but she did not say whether the contact had anything to do with the Bush administration's decision to retrieve her husband.

And if memory serves, wasn't it a cargo plane since all commercial flights had been grounded?

[X-FID]

Enough about me, lets talk about you...So, what you thinK about me?

That's good, hahahaha.

[FryingPan101]

I think you're right. I remember it being a huge issue among the liberal crowd that Clinton couldn't get back to the USA.

[X-FID]

Hildebeast was caught in a lie when she told the press that Chelsea had been jogging down around the WTC that very morning before the attacks. But then in the article Chelsea wrote for Tina Brown, she states she was in a friends apartment when she saw the coverage on TV.

Don't you remember the main story? Doesn't matter where Dogface was at the time, the main point was, could we afford to pay for it now because of the BUSH TAX CUT!

[kcvl]

I didn't think that I could despise that b**** any more than I already do but she thinks it's all about HER and HER FAMILY (what family?). Why couldn't she just SHUT UP for ONE DAY while the REAL victims try to deal with THEIR tragedy? She is such a LIAR! Why doesn't anyone call her on the lies that she tells? She wouldn't know the truth if it slap her in the face. GAG!!!

She was all over television today and I just kept switching channels to get her OFF. She even showed up on Fox News with Linda Vester. I thought that was the only safe channel and there she was with that bobbing head. GO AWAY ALREADY!

[Howlin]

Exactly. I imagine Bush sent the plane for him so we wouldn't have a ex-president hanging out there for group of nuts to grab.

Newsmax REALLY needs to stop copying other sites' news; they've obviously gotten this one screwed up. It was bound to happen.

Possibly hoping it might be crashed into the sea??

[Howlin]

Psssssst..........Mr. Bill is on Letterman tonight to share HIS views about 9-11.

*Howlin steps WAY back*

[kcvl]

"OK, enough about me. What do YOU think of me????"

The really don't want to know the answer to that!

[Howlin]

Precisely.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

Didn't you get sick of McAuliffe constantly "being vauge" and lying his way out?

[Howlin]

LOL!

[ladyinred]

Oh good grief. Make this go away please! Please tell me I dreamed this evil duo and they don't really exist as a curse upon all mankind!

Who cares what the Clintons think about anything?!!! They are the problem to begin with. Eight years wasn't enough to "make a difference"?

Did you hear Hillary tell Larry King that the real problem was that all of the computers in the government were so antiquated that it was hard to link all of the information togerther. Wasn't this the same b**** who had HER computer system set up to keep information on "her enemies" (aka the FBI files, etc.)? I wonder why the co-president didn't fix that when she was running the country?! Too busy trying to keep tabs on "her husband"?

While I'm at it...I demand that Cher pay the families of the 9/11 victims whatever she makes from her song that she sang on Larry King tonight from her tour! The Botox idiot...morons really shouldn't try to do talk shows especially when their faces don't move.

The real story:

BILL: Hillary! I'm scared I'm a target here down under. Can you beg the Texan to send a plane for me... Minutes later...

BILL: George! It's me, Bill. Bill who? Bill CLINTON! Hey, I need a way out of Australia. I think I'm a target... hello? Hello?? HEELLLLOOOOO!!!!! (click)

"My husband was in Australia and the president called him back and sent a plane for him,"

Can we ever forgive him for bringing the senator's husband back?

[kcvl]

Mike Barnacle told Chris Matthews that he couldn't listen to Hillary today. Did she give a speech or something? Well, I can't listen to her any day!

[fellowpatriot]

Clowntown is so important so needed that GW "called him back" to the states so GW could ask Clinton what he (GW) should do...

Bingo!

The only time Bubba was summoned was by some sort of coven, fifty-something years ago.
