Monday, September 19, 2005 Bill Clinton Bitchslaps Bush & Co AFP: 1) Clinton said the Bush administration had decided to invade Iraq "virtually alone and before UN inspections were completed, w/no real urgency, no evidence that there were weapons of mass destruction. The Iraq war diverted US attention from the war on terrorism and undermined the support that we might have had." 2) On Katrina, Clinton faulted the authorities' failure to evacuate N.O. ahead of the storm's strike on Aug 29: "If we really wanted to do it right, we would have had lots of buses lined up to take them out." He agreed that some responsibility for this lay w/ the local & state authorities, but pointed the finger, w/out naming specific names, at FEMA & Homeland Security as having no experience of disaster management. 3) Clinton said this about the deficit: "What Americans need to understand is that every single day of the yr, our govt goes into the market and borrows money from other countries to finance Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, and tax cuts that benefitted just the richest 1% of the US population- myself included. We depend on Japan, China, the UK, Saudi Arabia, and Korea primarily to basically loan us money every day of the yr to cover my tax cut and these conflicts and Katrina. I don't think it makes any sense. We have never done this before. Never in the history of our republic have we ever financed a conflict, military conflict, by borrowing money from somewhere else." Stop talking common sense Bill. Hey... didn't you once get a BJ? Well, then that blowjob trumps ANY and ALL of Bush's MANY, MANY crimes and misdemeanors, buddy... yeh, right. |
