Clintons vs Bush - Championship fight

It seems pretty clear what the Chris Wallace interview was about from the Clinton perspective. This is about Hillary running for office in '08. It's NOT about Bill defending his character or actions.

In the world according to Hillary, "I'm certain that if my husband and his national security team had been shown a classified report entitled 'Bin Laden Determined To Attack Inside the United States' he would have taken it more seriously than history suggests it was taken by our current president and his national security team." The senator was referring to a classified brief given to Bush in August 2001, one that Democrats say showed the Bush administration did not do enough to combat the growing threat from al-Qaida. When the brief was delivered, Rice was Bush's national security adviser, and Clinton's response was clearly designed to implicate her in the same criticisms that have been made of Bush.

Clinton's response came a day after Rice denied Bill Clinton's claim in the television interview that the Bush administration had not aggressively pursued al-Qaida before the attacks of 2001.
"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 do that is just flatly false, and I think the 9/11 commission understood that."

Let's see.... Should we believe Condy Rice, Bill or Hillary??

Report entitled: 'Bin Laden Determined To Attack Inside the United States'

LOL That's rich. So we had to spell it out for the Clinton adm. or else it wouldn't get taken seriously? That's scary coming from one that is running in '08. REAL scarry. They had examples of bombings....and she said had they had a report entitled the above it would have been taken seriously? Acts of violence don't count. The way you title a report does. SCARY!!!!

It also shows that the Clintons did not really clean out the White House and Air Force 1. They left 2 things behind. Bills Afghan War Plans & a Bin Laden report. I hope these were hard copies as they took the keys off the desktop terminals...
