Reuters: Bush dismisses Clinton critique as “finger-pointing”

President Bush on Tuesday dismissed as “finger-pointing” criticism from his predecessor Bill Clinton of his counter-terrorism efforts in the months leading up to the September 11 attacks.

Clinton, angrily defending his own administration’s attempts to capture or kill Osama bin Laden, had accused the Bush administration of doing far less to stop the al Qaeda leader before the 2001 hijack plane attacks.

Bush, who is trying to stave off a Democratic takeover of Congress in November, seemed to bristle when asked about Clinton, only to sidestep his assertions.

“We’ll let history judge all the different finger-pointing and all that business. I don’t have enough time to finger-point,” he said at a news conference with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

“I’ve got to do my job,” he added, “and that is to protect the American people from further attacks.”

Indeed Clinton is a HAS BEEN who wants to play politics for his own aggrandizement and Bush is the REAL DEAL and is charged with protecting Americans which Clinton failed to do.

And admits he FAILED….
