Did this AZ repuke just blame 9/11 on Clinton?

[GregD]

Holy freaking crap. He says Bush tried to stop it? Is he in a dream world somewhere?

[DavidDvorkin]

1. The Republickers have been saying that for years

"If Clinton had done his job, 9/11 would never have happened." That's their theme.

[blm]

10. True - if Clinton hadn't spent the 90s protecting Poppy Bush from being fully exposed

on BCCI, IranContra and CIA drugrunning, then 9-11 would NOT have happened. But Rethugs don't GET what Clinton REALLY did wrong in siding with Bush and his cronies' secrecy and privilege over the American peoples' right to open government, so they manufacture other reasons.

13. and i have to agree to some extent..

if Clinton had done his job and prosecuted the Iran/Contra players, then it's my belief that 911 would have never occurred.

[blm]

14. Bin Ladens banked with the Bushes at BCCI. Dirty dealings from ALL those cronies

for decades - they developed and nurtured the worst of the global terror networks to set up the fearful mindset.

2. Would not surprise me, he's unbelievable.

I really was not listening to him. Rabkin's a whacko as well.

3. I think the republicans have just entered the first stage of grief

(over their inevitable landslide loss of the Presidency and Congress) and that stage is denial.

[JaneQPublic]

4. The Repukes have doing that since 9/12

Blame Clinton for everything bad.

Ironically, when Clinton was in office and the economy was doing so great, they tried to say it was a delayed effect of Reagan's policies.

5. No -- he said if Bush had a fault, it was in allowing 9/11 to happen.

I've never heard a Republican say that before.

[iamthebandfanman]

7. i have

but ultimately they still blame clinton.... even the ones who make statements like that.

[dflprincess]

9. He actually said Bush "let it happen"????

Does he mean LIHOP?

[EFerrari]

11. I think he meant "failed to prevent". But, it was still surprising to me. n/t

[iamthebandfanman]

6. of course

why would you expect them to take any responsibility for ANYTHING?

shoot, every person with an R by their name will say how aweful it is we are having the hearing and how aweful it is we are wasting our time and how great our president is... followed by ... terror terror terror...war war war.. terror terror terror

same ole show, same ole tricks.... we'll see if it gets them far this time around.

i laughed the entire time the rep from AZ was talking

[SidDithers]

8. Bush would have stopped the 9/11 attacks...

but they couldn't type World Trade Centre because the Clintons stole all the W keys from the computers.

12. Was this guy in Congress in 98-99?

And are there any quotes from him where he chided Clinton for bombing a terrorist's camp, saying that it was an attempt to draw attention away from really important matters which affected this nation, namely impeaching BC for a BJ???
