Bill Clinton says that the Bush Administration “didn’t try”[*1] to get Bin Laden in the eight months prior to the 9//11 attack:
“But at least I tried. That’s the difference in me andsome, including all of the right-wingers who are attacking menow,” Clinton said when asked whether he had failed to fullyanticipate bin Laden’s danger. “They had eight months to try,they did not try. I tried. So I tried and failed.”
Sure, Bill. And Gore’s ill-conceived Florida chad fiasco (did you know that not a single actual vote count or recount in Florida in 2000 showed Gore ahead?), the sabotage of the transition from the Clinton to the Bush Administrations, and the general attitude of surly anti-Bushism from the out-of-control CIA and State Departments had nothing whatsoever to do with the Bush Administration’s difficulties taking over anti-terrorism operations from the Clinton Administration.
You know, at some point the finger-pointing has to stop. But it’s obvious that the Democrats generally and Bill Clinton in particular never learned to share in pre-school. If they don’t have control of the ball, they want to make sure no one else has it, either.
You don’t like Bush. We get it. But in your inchoate rage against the current sitting President, your fevered opposition has spilled over our national borders to be eagerly consumed by the likes of Ahmadenijad, Chavez, bin Laden, and the reactionary enemies of freedom and liberty throughout the world.
Does the phrase “aid and comfort to the enemy” ring a bell?
Think about the “comfort” part for a while, in the context of the Iranian President’s and the Venzuelan lunatic’s comfortable anti-Americanism rhetoric in New York this week.
It might have been about Bush at one time. It isn’t any more. You have made George W. Bush the Alfred Dreyfus of our age, guilty mainly of not being a radical leftist. To you, this is treason, and nothing else, not even patriotism, matters.
