Stuck On Stupid

Condi Rice has much to say about Clinton’s assertions about his efforts to prevent 9/11.

This From The NY Post: 

The secretary of state says the former president was basically full of beans when he lashed out at

Fox News’ Chris Wallace Sunday - wagging his finger and bitterly accusing the Bush administration of abandoning

the search for Osama bin Laden before 9/11.

"They had eight months to try, [and] they did not try," Clinton shouted. "I got closer to killing him than anybody’s gotten since."

Clinton railed at "all of the right-wingers who are attacking me now" and denounced Wallace’s "conservative hit job," demanding to know "how many people in the Bush administration you asked . . . ‘Why did you fire Dick Clarke,’ " the anti-terrorism chief.

But was Clinton telling the truth? (Remember the last time he wagged his finger in public?)

Secretary of State Rice suggests not.

"The notion somehow for eight months the Bush administration sat there . . . is just flatly false," the former national security adviser told The Post’s editorial board yesterday. "What we did in eight months was at least as aggressive as what the Clinton administration did in the preceding [eight] years,"

Firing Clarke? Far from it, she noted: He "was the counter-terrorism czar when 9/11 happened, and he left [in 2003] when he did not become deputy director of homeland security," as he wanted.

That’s a critical point.
