From the Chicago Tribune:
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani defended Bill Clinton on Wednesday over the former president’s counterterrorism efforts, saying recent criticism on preventing the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is wrong.
Political bickering over which president — Clinton or George W. Bush — missed more opportunities to prevent the attacks has been escalating since Clinton gave a combative interview on “Fox News Sunday” in which he defended his efforts to kill Osama bin Laden.
“The idea of trying to cast blame on President Clinton is just wrong for many, many reasons, not the least of which is I don’t think he deserves it,” Giuliani said in response to a question after an appearance with fellow Republican Charlie Crist, who is running for governor. “I don’t think President Bush deserves it. The people who deserve blame for Sept. 11, I think we should remind ourselves, are the terrorists — the Islamic fanatics — who came here and killed us and want to come here again and do it.”
Look, folks, Clinton absolutely blew it on a number of things. Likewise Bush has not been our greatest military leader either.
I do detest Clinton more in that he should have some something after the attack on the USS Cole and the first World Trade Tower attack. But until 9/11 actually happened 99.64% of the US just simply didn’t comprehend the butcher’s mindset of either Osama or his Murderous Minions - just like so many of us refused to acknowledge the terror in Europe or the Pacific until after Pearl Harbor.
You want to point fingers or complain? Then do it correctly –> at the Islamofascists.
Giuliani, Clinton, Bush, Osama, bin Laden, terrorist, Islam, 9/11
