Clinton supporters spar with Bush backers over blame for Sept. 11

WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Clinton says she's not looking to play the blame game with the Bush administration over Sept. 11 - but someone had to set the record straight.


"I don't think it's a useful exercise," Clinton told the New York Daily News Wednesday. "But I also don't think it's appropriate to have the record distorted."


"My view is we should learn from the problems of the past and be prepared to defend our country," said a heated Clinton. "It remains my position, but I don't think you can learn from history if you distort it."


The White House and Clinton have traded barbs since her ex-President husband erupted in a finger-jabbing tirade on "Fox News Sunday," saying he tried to kill Osama bin Laden, while the Bush administration dropped the ball before Sept. 11.
