Comments on: Sen. Clinton Fires Back At Rice

N.Y. Democrat Defends Husband, Slams Secretary Rice Over Pre-9/11 Actions

What about the FBI AGENT that notified washington of terrorists and planes before 911 when the commando was in office with rice IT WAS IGNORED bush was probably on vacation

This adminsitaion spends 50 percent of its time stepping in ka-ka and 50 percent of the remanider covering its tracks. No wonder they live in their own little world. Day one, Channey told W to go stand in the corner of the Oval Office and GWB's been spinning ever since. HAAaa!

the true patriots in this country are the ones that question the hows & whys of what the government is doing. that's the right & responsibility of citizens in a democracy! Blind following and encourangement of a centralized government is nothing more than enabling a formation of a fascist society.

I may not agree with everything the Clintons have done, but they have more brains in their little fingers regarding domestic and international politics than the entire Bush administration.

"What we did in the eight months was at least as aggressive as what the Clinton administration did in the preceding years," Rice said during a meeting with editors and reporters at the New York Post. "The notion somehow for eight months the Bush administration sat there and didn't..."

Yeah GOOD JOB Ricey, fromthe moron who gave us "Good job Brownie" the right winger friend BUSH sat on his arse for SEVEN MINUTES reading "My pet goat" to kids in a class AFTER being informed the country was under ATTACK and that the towers had been hit by aircraft!
He STILL has no explanation why he sat there like the moron he is and did nothing instead of excusing himself and getting to the Whitehouse.
He's a do nothing idiot who does something too little and too late, when he DOES do something it's the WRONG action- like retaliatory illegal war against a country thathad nothing to do with 9/11 whatsoever!

and the bush spin doctors are working on damage control even as we speak. who can blame them?

[gtorlando]

Job well done Clintons, job well done.

President Bush's body language and facial expressions tell it all- the Republicans are concerned as well they should be. President Clinton's debate with Mike Wallace emphasises the fact that the Democrats are tired of it and they are not going to take it anymore.

energyecon, way to bring the facts to the table. problem is, a lot of people consider Clarke a democratic lackey, but I am sure he was right though. Other people than just him said the same things, I do believe.

[rsoxfan1123]

shafteriffic, except now that Bush is realizing how expensive and painful war is (remember, he spent Viet Nam on a bar stool) he is crawling back to the same United Nations that he deemed unworthy to help him deal with Iran. Maybe a lesson learned too late...

[shafteriffic]

We all know clinton would have had to start a coalition to make peace with the terrorists. Today we would all be DEAD! It would have been nearly the same with Al Gore. Thank God when it came time to go to war, we had a president with the kahonas to do something immediately. The UN was being totally ridiculous, so Bush said screw em', we don't need them and he was right. If Hillary is elected president we will all be dead or chinese eventually. I am a real American, not a left wing democrat.

Give 'em Hell, Hillary! Here is testimony from the 9/11 Commission with a link that shows the deception that Rice is foisting on the American people.

The January 25, 2001, memo, recently released to the National Security Archive by the National Security Council, bears a declassification stamp of April 7, 2004, one day prior to Rice's testimony before the 9/11 Commission on April 8, 2004. Responding to claims that she ignored the al-Qaeda threat before September 11, Rice stated in a March 22, 2004 Washington Post op-ed, "No al Qaeda plan was turned over to the new administration."

Two days after Rice's March 22 op-ed, Clarke told the 9/11 Commission, "there's a lot of debate about whether it's a plan or a strategy or a series of options -- but all of the things we recommended back in January were those things on the table in September. They were done. They were done after September 11th. They were all done. I didn't really understand why they couldn't have been done in February."

Clarke asked on several occasions for early principals meetings on these issues, and was frustrated that no early meeting was scheduled. No principals committee meetings on Al Qaida were held until September 4th, 2001.
