Bush Blamed More Than Clinton for Failure to Capture Bin Laden
With Wallace's extraordinarily ill thought out attack on Clinton, and Condi's subsequent lies regarding what plans Clinton did or did not leave for the incoming administration, I thought it would be interesting to find out who the public are blaming for the failure to capture bin Laden: Clinton or Bush?
Gallup have recently conducted a poll and it confirms that Snow is right when he attempts "not to engage" with Clinton's argument because, as I said at the time, it's an argument he is certain to lose.
The recent firestorm over former President Bill Clinton's culpability for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks was fuelled on Tuesday when Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice contrasted President Bush's efforts to pursue al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden with Clinton's efforts. Clinton has strongly denied various suggestions that his administration missed key opportunities to kill bin Laden and left the Bush administration without a comprehensive anti-terrorism strategy. However, Bush -- whom Clinton says did nothing about al-Qaeda for the first eight months of his presidency -- has the bigger image problem with Americans on the issue.I still think Wallace will regret the way he, smirkingly, opened this disastrous debate. What was he thinking, that the public really were stupid enough to buy into his insane little talking point?According to a recent Gallup Panel survey, the American public puts the primary blame on Bush rather than Clinton for the fact that bin Laden has not been captured. A majority of Americans say Bush is more to blame (53%), compared with 36% blaming Clinton.
