My, my. Seems that the idea of letting the American people know what goes on is bad, very bad. Next thing you know, the voters will start studying the issues and understand the incumbents should be thrown out of office. Yep, that is bad, very bad.

I couldn't have summed up Iraq better myself! Thanks Zell![:D][}:)][;)]
Also, who has the greatest risk if what is said is true--Bush or Clarke?--if it turns out that Clarke is telling the truth, what then?
Oh, by the way, what about O'Neil (former Secretary of the Treasury)--was he lying too? [;)][}:)]
Gosh, it seems like the Bush Administration doesn't do a good job of vetting its employees does it? Must have been former WalMart CEOs. [:(]

What am I going to do with you?
You fully realize that the release of his "book" was designed , written and orchestrated to try to cause as much political damage as possible.
Most of what he claims cannot be confirmed, a lot of what he claimed has been completly refuted and disproven.
This is a man with a mission, a mission to lie and spin in order to libel a President who refused to grant him the power he felt he deserved.
He is a vindictive self centered lillte man with a napolean complex.
Listen to his testomy, hell, read his book, I did. What a joke, everything in it is "I said' I told him' they said. No documents to back up his claims, no corroberating testimoiny, nothing but his word.
If this was a trail I would have him arrested for perjury, lying to the court and have all the charges against the current and former administrations thrown out.
I am dissapointed in you on this issue Hairy, I would have expected someone with your intelligence to have seen Mr Clarke for what he is, a man with a grudge, a book to try to sell and a Democratic shill.
His timing is very suspect(if it walks like a duck), if he was so upset and concerned about what he claims took place why did he wait to write a book to "bring it to light"?
Nope, this man is totally uncredible, the only people who lend any credence to his claims at all are the hard core liberals and Bush haters, people who will believe anything as long as it demonizes Bush.
I heard Henry Kissinger on Fox News say that he didnt lend much credence to what Mr Clarke said and he is one who has some insight.
None of the liberal press is printing/reporting the fallicies that have come to light about Mr Clarkes allegations, that would not serve their purpose, but even the Washington Post and New Yourk Times ran a small article about the lack of documentation to back up his claims.
Come on Hairy, dont let your dislike for the current admin and look at this man logically, perhaps you will see thins differently.
And perhaps not[:D]

With your line of thinking, June 6, 1944 should have been announced to the American people we were going to land on Normandy! Of course, announcing that to the American people would have given the Germans time to prepare.
When FDR died, Harry Truman was totally shocked we had the A-Bomb. He was the VP, and didn't have a clue we had anything like that. Can you say the words...TOP SECRET. ??
Please explain Clinton's 8 years of ice creamfootin around with Bin Laden, and why it's GW's fault that 911 took place barely 8 months into his administration?? And why is Clarke blaming Bush, when he also worked for Clinton? And, why we're at it, why Clarke refused to testify before the same type of committee on Y2K?

Reminder: Clinton wasn't in office and eight months is a long time to do nothing.
But Bush is real big on NEVER taking responsibility for ANYTHING.
Jobs? "Not my fault."
"Mission Accomplished" banner on aircraft carrier? "I had nothing to do with it."
9-11? "Clinton didn't do anything either."
WMDs in Iraq? "The CIA provided me with faulty intelligence."
This boy we call a "president" has all of the leadership qualities of a friggin' invertebrate. He shifts blame, fudges figures, or lies outright... as if doing so will keep him from getting in trouble with his mommy and daddy.
"War president" my @$$... more like "spoiled little kid" in my book.
"Right is Right, even is everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it"
Remember: WMD, bio-chem, nukes, imminent threat to US, and the rest of the BS. So far, almost 600 American soldiers have died and countless others wounded as a DIRECT result of this bad decision. Read today's paper on Fallejuah? Welcome us with open arms? Free the Iraqi people from fear of death--how many Iraqis have we killed since we began our invasion? [}:)][;)]
