If You’re a Big Ass Failure, Just Blame Bush!by lisarichardsrocknrollpolitics |
For the past three and half years, Obama, his administration, and the Democrats have blamed everything wrong with the economy, the war, terrorism, counter-terrorism, 9/11, immigration, the deficit, climate changes every season, birth control, childbirth, racism, and anything that can be concocted, on George W. Bush.
It’s a Democrat disease: blame everyone but yourself. And when you fail completely, blame Bush!
Bill Clinton did this in 2006 when Fox News Sunday’s Chris Wallace interviewed Clinton. It didn’t take long for the gloves to come off and the blame games began.
Chris Wallace caught the ex-president off guard, putting him on the spot, deservedly, and Clinton said everything and anything to make himself the hero of anti-terror policy.
His failures were all Bush's fault!
Sound familiar? Just wait, this weeks DNC convention will unleash Bush-blaming and there will be a lot of bin Laden to go around!
In 2006, Clinton was naturally happy to brag about his money raising charities, but Wallace did the unmentionable, he asked the questions millions of Americans demanded: why did you do nothing when you had many chances to catch bin Laden?
Clinton complained this questioning was a Fox News ploy, ABC had sent in a “right-winger” to “run their little “pathway to 9/11,” falsely claiming “it was based on the 9/11 Commission Report, with three things asserted against me directly!”
When Wallace asked Clinton about his failures to stop bin Laden when he had the chance, Clinton became red-faced with anger. Clinton was in Wallace’s face with fingers pointing, on the verge of spontaneous combustion.
Wallace asked:
Why didn’t you do more to put bin Laden and Al Qaeda out of business when you were president? There’s a new book out…called The Looming Tower. It talks about how the fact that when you pulled troops out of Somalia in 1993, bin Laden said: “I’ve seen the frailty and the weakness and the cowardice of U.S. troops.” Then there was the bombing of the embassies in Africa and the attack on the Cole.
Clinton does not like having his failures and inadequacies laid out publicly. He prefers that remain underneath a a desk! But Wallace went on to state bin Laden “separated his leaders, spread them around, because he expected an attack, and there was no response.”
“Ok,” Clinton red-faced and put out beyond arrogance said. “Let’s talk about it.” The ex-president snidely remarked: “I’m being asked this on the FOX network.” He implied defensively as if CNN would never do this to him. Actually, that’s true. CNN would have consoled Clinton concerning his failures.
Clinton cut Wallace off consistently throughout the entire one hour lie-athon. Clinton indignantly claimed he tried for eight years to get bin Laden but failed:
At least I tried! That's the difference [between] me and some, including all of the right-wingers who are attacking me now. They ridiculed me for trying. They had eight months to try. They did not try. I tried. So I tried and failed. When I failed, I left a comprehensive anti-terror strategy and the best guy in the country, [Richard] Clarke, who got demoted.
Oh, let's now blame Bush for Clarke's demotion! Forget the fact Clarke is a traitor and you refused to go after bin Laden.
Furthermore, how many times did Dick Morris state he sat in the Oval Office with Clinton and Gore when the CIA told the two that bin Laden was a threat, a danger and must be taken into custody or taken out? And how many times did the imbecile of non-inhale-ment refuse to take the would-be invader and killer of 3,000 American souls?
That’s right; so many times you’ve lost count.
At a White House strategy meeting on April 27, 1995—two weeks after the Oklahoma City bombing—the President was urged to create a ‘President’s List’ of extremist/terrorist groups, their members and donors ‘to warn the public against well-intentioned donations which might foster terrorism.’ [In 1993, the FBI had identified three charities connected to the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamasthat were being used to finance terrorist activities.] On April 1, 1996, Clinton was again advised to ‘prohibit fund-raising by terrorists [including Hamas specifically] and identify terrorist organizations.
According to Dick Morris, Clinton and Gore were begged to take bin Laden, but ignored all pleas:
Clinton’s failure to mobilize America to confront foreign terror after the 1993 attack [on the World Trade Center] led directly to the 9/11 disaster." According to Morris, "Clinton was removed, uninvolved, and distant where the war on terror was concerned.
Clinton and Gore had the chance to take the known terrorist involved in the 1993 World Trade attack and many other attacks on the U.S. before he attacked America, but they failed. Still, Bill Clinton described his many attempts to capture bin Laden, never admitting bin Laden was handed to him on a silver platter.
[Sudanese] President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir, who wanted terrorism sanctions against Sudan lifted, offered the arrest and extradition of bin Laden and detailed intelligence data about the global networks constructed by Egypt’s Islamic Jihad, Iran’s Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas. Among the members of these networks were the two hijackers who [would later pilot] commercial airliners into the World Trade Center. The silence of the Clinton administration in responding to these offers was deafening.
Finger-pointing from the panty burglar! When caught, just blame each other!
Clinton and Gore insisted bin Laden was not a threat to the U.S. That sounds like Obama's view of Iran: they are not a threat to the U.S.! Never mind the threats of nuke-grabbing!
During that 2006 interview, Dick Morris was never mentioned by Wallace, which was a failure on Wallace’s part since Morris stated officials tried to get Clinton to cooperate and take the terrorist, but Clinton failed to go along.
But according to Clinton, he wanted to stay in Somalia after the Black Hawke went down but Republicans made him pull out.
When caught, blame the Republicans! Blame someone else! But don’t take responsibility for your own administration’s failures. Gee, sound familiar?
Bill Clinton was the president, he could have said no, I’m not pulling out; I’m staying and bombing Somalia for what they did to my people. But Clinton had more important duties he couldn’t pull out of: Monica Lewinsky.
In that case, blame the blue dress for your utter failures Clinton.
Wallace told Clinton that bin Laden accused him [Clinton] and the country of displaying weakness by pulling out of Somalia; that it made us look weak. Clinton denied the accusation from bin Laden stating:
But it wouldn’t have shown the weakness if we’d left right away, but he [bin Laden] wasn’t involved in that [Somalia]. That’s just a bunch of bull.
Clinton said the entire Somalia incident was about a Muslim Warlord named Mohammad Adid who murdered 22 Pakistani troops. Clinton claimed our mission there was purely humanitarian, not to get bin Laden or keep him or anyone out. Then he insisted Adid was not a religious fanatic.
That’s why he murdered 22 Pakistani Muslim troops. That’s why he murdered American soldiers by blowing them out of the skies and torturing them to death in the streets Islam-style. Clinton insisted Al Qaeda was nowhere in Somalia.
Its America’s fault African war lords have been killing Africans for decades. Now we know where Obama learned the blame game—Clinton.
And you got that little smirk on your face and you think you’re so clever, but I had responsibility for trying to protect this country. I tried and I failed to get bin Laden. I regret it, but I did try and I did everything I thought I responsibly could.
The consistent theme throughout the entire interview, aside from refusal to admit failure, was Richard Clarke. Bill Clinton injected Clarke’s name into every answer with such praise, I was beginning to wonder if I’m worshiping the wrong Jesus—not the Obama one.
Wallace tried to quote the 9/11 Commission Report, but Clinton would have none of it. Richard Clarke was far superior to anything a Senate Armed Committee could perform. “The U.S. government took the threat seriously,” Wallace said referring to bin Laden and Bush. “But not in the sense of mustering anything like the kind of effort that would be gathered to confront an enemy of first, second, or even third rank.”
“That’s not true!” Clinton spewed with venom. “Let’s look at what Richard Clarke said.”
Blame Bush!
On and on and on Clinton sited Richard Clarke, whom Clinton angrily said was demoted by Bush.
Blame Bush!
Clinton smeared Republicans and Neo-Con Reaganites. Clinton said Neo-Cons stopped him from capturing bin Laden. They stopped the CIA, whom Clinton said he authorized to kill the terrorist.
Blame Republicans!
Then Clinton stated there never was a “comprehensive anti-terror-operation” until he was president.
Blame Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush!
Reagan never got our hostages back from the Ayatollah, Reagan never ended Communism, and Bush 41 never went to war in the Middle East with Saddam to free Kuwait from Saddam’s invasion.
It's always the fault of a Bush! I'm beginning to think Democrats think they are Moses with all this bush blaming!
Clinton told Wallace if he were president rather than Bush, he would have more than 20,000 troops in Iraq hunting bin Laden and would kill him. This was 2006, and whatever plan Clinton was thinking certainly was never shared with Bush. But then again, Bush got the war Clinton wanted.
Clinton never implemented anti-terror plans to protect the U.S. and he knows it. Clinton never retaliated for the 93’ bombing of the World Trade center, the Khobar Towers, the U.S./Kenyan Embassy, the U.S.S. Cole and Black Hawke and Somalia’s attacks on our troops.
George W. Bush implemented anti-terror policies and strategies, he enacted Homeland Security and the Patriot Act. Clinton refused to do such things, because he wass too concerned with violating the Civil Rights of terrorists.
Clinton allowed Janet Reno to ignore Mohammad Atta and the massacring of 3,000 people. A six year-old Cuban child was more threatening than raging Islamists!
Clinton could have overrode Reno, he could have demanded Atta’s files be hacked. He didn’t. 3,000 innocent human beings died. But a Cuban boy got a gun to his head, so all was well!
Clinton stated over and over that he tried and Bush had nine months, but never tried.
But hey, Blame Bush because he may have ignored bin Laden’s letter which stated:
Dear Mr. President,On September 11, 2001, at 8:43 a.m., I am going to begin attacking theU.S. through Mohammad Atta, god willing, whom Janet Reno let go. My 19 men will hijack your planes and begin flying them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the Capitol’s buildings, god willing.I intend to kill millions. Praise Allah!I hate America; I want to kill you all, god willing,Try to stop me if you can! Na na na na na na!Yours truly;Osama bin Laden, Terrorist extraordinaire.
If the Dick Clarke input and the “I tried” crap wasn’t enough, Clinton accused Wallace of a set-up because Rupert Murdoch—Wallace’s boss—is “supporting my work in climate change” and viewers are going to be angry to know the boss of a conservative network is donating to Clinton's environmental work.
America never cared about Rupert Murdoch's environmental work. It’s Murdoch’s money; he can spend it on whatever he wants.
Blame Fox News viewers!
Clinton accused Wallace of setting him up to rouse his anger and “to move my bones.”
You guys [Fox News and Republicans] try to create the impression [he did nothing to stop bin Laden], when all you have to do is read—you know what’s coming—Richard Clarke’s book.
That book was trashier than a Kitty Kelly exposé. It actually refutes Clinton’s claims it exonerates him. The book was useless except to my cats. No explanation needed there.
But Clinton insisted he was obsessed with Osama bin Laden and that’s why Republicans and conservatives blame him for 9/11.
Wallace should have talked to Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky and Jennifer Flowers and asked them to define Clinton’s obsessions.
One thing Clinton said that was proof of his laziness and refusal to take responsibility was his saying bin Laden is Bush’s problem now, “that’s the great thing about being a former president.”
You get to blame George Bush for everything!
The entire interview was like watching the Rosenberg’s declare they never sold those top secret A-Bomb secrets to the Russians even though they were caught red-handed with the files: Oh we thought those papers were letters from Russian foreign exchange students.
The left always blames others for their failures.
Wallace remained pleasant and respectful of the Oval office playboy, but Clinton lost control and never regained it. He doesn’t work well with calm people, which explains the Jerry Springer free-for-all lamp tossing escapades widely documented between Hill and Bill's Oval Office wars. Clinton seems to love brawls; not decorum.
Democrats always scream about trying while failing. And then they blame someone else for their failures: usually a Bush!
Wallace should have tried a brass lamp to the head. It worked well for Hillary.
