William, your word is Accountability...

This story just came in from Reuters with Bill Clinton defending his administrations efforts in the pursuit of Osama bin Laden, while accusing the Bush administration of doing far less to capture bin Laden before the devastating attacks of 9/11.

Clinton blames Bush for bin Laden

You can read the article from the link listed above but in case you are too lazy to check it out, Clinton was quoted as saying,

“But at least I tried. That’s the difference in me and some, including all of the right-wingers who are attacking me now…They had eight months to try, they did not try. I tried. So I tried and failed.”

Clinton later on mentions the attack in October of 2000 of the USS Cole and said that if anyone wants to criticize him, they “can criticize me for this: after the Cole, I had battle plans drawn to go into Afghanistan, overthrow the Taliban and launch a full-scale attack search for bin Laden…”

Here is a prime example of Liberals trying to re-write history books with Clinton placing blame on the current administration. He stated that the Bush administration had eight months to do something and did not, but what about the Clinton administration?

Attacks before the USS Cole by al-Qaeda occurred in 1993, 1996, and 1998. What did the Clinton administration do then? If history and memory serves us right, he did not do much of anything. In fact he did not consider al-Qaeda a true threat to the United States and passed on the opportunity for the U.S. to obtain Osama bin Laden from Sudan. However, once again he failed because he was worried about socialistic issues and was not concerned with National Defense.

This interview comes just weeks after the docudrama ‘Path to 9/11’, which was seen as ‘indisputably wrong’ by Clinton. It amazes me how liberals want to have this perception about them as being perfect and when facts (not feelings or beliefs) are brought forward, they try to dispute the notion they are far from perfect. 'Path to 9/11' aside, why does he not mention the attacks listed above? Could it be that he realizes he truly failed and would not want to admit it for fear of what it would do to his reputation?

Maybe one day we, as Americans, will have the pleasures of hearing William Jefferson Clinton admit, let me say that again, admit, to not doing an adequate job in the pursuit of Osama bin Laden and yes his administration could have helped the Bush administration stop one of the most tragic days this country has seen in its history on U.S. soil.
