Just hours after her Jan. 24 landmark speech on homeland security, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton engaged in an unprecedented attack on President Bush - accusing him of ignoring warnings from her husband's administration about Osama bin Laden, trying to cover up the testimony of FBI whistleblower Coleen Rowely and "mishandling" the nuclear crisis in North Korea.
But despite her outrageous allegations against the President as he prepares to lead the nation into war, mainstream news organizations have turned a deaf ear - in the apparent belief that if they don't report it, the American people will never know that the Democratic Party's presidential frontrunner had engaged in such a vicious partisan diatribe at this critical moment in American history.
But NewsMax was on hand as Sen. Clinton leveled both barrels at Bush, sitting in during her wide ranging 38 minute interview with WLIE-NY radio host Mike Siegel. And our tape recorder was running.
Now, for the first time anywhere outside of WLIE's listening area, the rest of America can hear Sen. Clinton in one of the ugliest and ill-timed partisan attacks in recent history. By clicking on our three exclusive MP3 audio file links, NewsMax readers - not to mention most of America's news organizations - can hear for the first time Hillary Clinton's accuse Bush of:
1) Ignoring the nuclear threat in Iran and "mishandling" the nuclear crisis in North Korea. Then the nation's most powerful Democrat claimed that Bush dismissed warnings from the Clinton administration about Osama bin Laden, because, as she explained, "that wasn't their priority." Click Here to listen. 2) Hillary then accuses Bush of timing the announcement of his Homeland Security Department to deliberately "divert attention from" the testimony of 9/11 FBI whistleblower Colleen Rowley. On this same clip she alleges that the White House has not had "the requisite focus" on the war on terrorism, which, she insists, has left America "nowhere near" as safe as it should be because "the administration has become so fiscally irresponsible."

3) Hear Hillary tell NewsMax.com's Carl Limbacher that, despite polls that showing that she's the overwhelming favorite of Democrats to run against President Bush in 2004, she will not accept a convention draft. Then listen as the nation's most powerful Democrat slams the Bush administration's "absolute ideological commitment to tax cuts," saying it has left the U.S. vulnerable to future terrorist attacks.

How did this junior Senator earn, er steal this title?
You would think it would, at least be the Senator Minority leader, Tom Daschle, or the House Minority leader, Nancy Pelosi, or an ex-President like Nobel Prize winner Jimmy Carter.
