During the recent interview of former president Bill Clinton by Chris Wallace of Fox News, Clinton asserted that he “left a detailed plan” for the Bush administration for dealing with terrorism:
When I failed I left a comprehensive anti-terror strategy and the best guy in the country, Dick Clarke!
I want to know how many people in the Bush administration you asked why didn’t you do anything about the Cole. I want to know how many you asked why did you fire Dick Clarke.
During an interview yesterday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said this about Clinton’s remarks:
“What we did in the eight months was at least as aggressive as what the Clinton administration did in the preceding years,” Rice said Monday during a meeting with editors and reporters at the New York Post.
Rice took exception to Clinton’s statement that he “left a comprehensive anti-terror strategy” for incoming officials when he left office.
“We were not left a comprehensive strategy to fight Al Qaeda,” she told the newspaper, which is owned by News Corp., which also owns FOX News Channel.
Rice said Clarke “left when he did not become deputy director of homeland security.”
Once again, the Clintons attempt to rewrite history and sweep their dirty little business under the carpet. (Emphasis added by Damsel.)

Update: Rewriting History Clinton Style (Cox & Forkum):
What I find bizarre is the way that people still defend this
dishonest, perverted, ineffective character. I wrote a blog about
it–Paradise Lost at Aristotelian Moments (Blogger.com). Do the
liberals not remember how even they were lied to and betrayed by
this worthless bastard? Yeah, he had a plan for Bin Laden- – if he
became a woman, he would have had sex with him, and then would have
asked him/her to lie under oath. What is wrong with people who say,
“It was just sex.” Suborning perjury is not something they would
overlook in a Nixon, so why do they not care with Clinton?
Given the elite media’s filtering system of looking at the left through rose-colored glasses while looking at the right under a magnifying glass, it’s not surprising they respond in the way they do.
