Hillary Attacks Bush, in Overseas Interview (Germany. Urges a "Globalized and Integrated World"

U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton (D NY) has attacked U.S. President George W. Bush, and questioned U.S. intelligence effectiveness in an interview published in the online version of the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel.

Der Spiegel is Germany's leading newsmagazine, and is highly regarded throughout Europe. Clinton's remarks will gain a high degree of publicity across the European continent, attracting support within Europe's generally liberal political environment, where socialism enjoys wide acceptance.

While asserting her support for Bush in Afghanistan and Iraq, Sen. Clinton criticized present U.S. policy in Europe, and questioned the Bush administration's use of intelligence information.

Clinton stated that she was "not ready to answer 'yes'" to Der Spiegel's question whether misleading information was used to launch the war in Iraq.

"I know my husband received the same intelligence information [during his presidency as did Bush]." Clinton asserted that "the real question is have we obtained accurate information, or have the findings been altered for military or political purposes?"

Clinton also urged greater interdependence between Europe and the U.S., stating that America should seek "a secure and solid foundation" for relations with Europe, instead of "relying only upon our [U.S.] military strength."

Praising her husband's close relationship with European leaders during his period in office, Clinton declared that "for eight years we were on the right course to a globalized and integrated world - which is coming, one way or the other."

Clinton publicly revealed the foreign policy thrust of the Democratic Party in a remarkable moment of candor, a position Democratic leaders have not made clear to the public, but which is keenly understood and supported by Clinton.

Not only is a "globalized and integrated world" inevitable, it is a foreign policy priority of the Democratic Party.

According to Clinton, a single, unified world "is a perspective we Democrats have not successfully made clear."

In the Der Spiegel interview, Clinton asserted that her husband sought to pass "effective laws" and proposed "more money" to carry out the struggle against terror, but "the Republicans prevented" measures from becoming enacted.

Hillary Clinton, already considered an intriguing figure in Europe, will gain additional credibility as a stateswoman as a result of the Der Spiegel interview.

As Europeans become more familiar with Clinton and her views, their impact will be felt as they bring money and influence to her or a like politician's campaign.

The socialist European expectation will be that a Democratic victory will bring into power a U.S. government more to the liking of one-world European politicians.

Despicable Hillary, a US Senator is bashing the US in the foreign press. Maybe she should move to Germany and run for president there.

Note how she is undermining US sovereignity by promoting a "globalized, integrated world".

"for eight years we were on the right course to a globalized and integrated world - which is coming, one way or the other."

Unfortunately...she's right. This World'll Globalize and integrate itself right up to the front steps of the Valley of Meggido...then my Guy will have the last laugh.

It is so awesome to be on the winning team. :o)

"The socialist European expectation will be that a Democratic victory will bring into power a U.S. government more to the liking of one-world European politicians."

For cryin' out loud, this lying, witchy woman is at it again. Knowing that the euro-trash hate Bush's independent thinking and performing, she's catering to the euros one-world government idea like no one else. She's a frightening person just like the old life of Europe.

She should join the Dixie Chicks.

Only a nut case could think that a committee of nations will solve global problems.

Clinton also urged greater interdependence between Europe and the U.S., stating that America should seek "a secure and solid foundation" for relations with Europe, instead of "relying only upon our [U.S.] military strength."

Already happening.

The EU and Mexico today completed remaining aspects of their Free Trade Agreement at the first EU-Mexico Joint Council of the EU-Mexico Economic Partnership, Political Co-ordination and Cooperation Agreement (Global Agreement). The Free Trade Agreement in Services between the EU and Mexico will enter into force on 1 March 2001, together with preferential arrangements on economically significant aspects such as public procurement, investments and intellectual property. Welcoming the decisions, EU Trade Commissioner Pascal Lamy said: ‘Today we have put in place the final blocks in free trade arrangements between the EU and Mexico. This will put the EU on a level footing with the US and Canada in the Mexican market. Services and intellectual property are at the cutting edge of EU exports, and with today’s decision, these are set to grow significantly.’

Err.......don't we have laws against candidates accepting money from a foreign source? How do they launder it? Oh, wait...I just remembered China and Bubba.

[martinaricejr]

And of course the Germans expect to be on top in that Globalized world. Hitler should have waited 60 years. Can you say "Sieg Heil"?

[ellery]

Oh, so the klintoon proposed more money to fight terror, did he? Is there anywhere we can get the numbers? Because I would love to crunch them.

[ladyinred]

Come on Hillary. Let's have that investigation. Let's start with TWA flight 800, and go through the years of your presidency, opps, I mean your husband's presidency and let's see who lied and covered up and endangered our security okay? Let the games begin!
