Condi Smacks Clarke on Fox'N Friends

Fox News Channel

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Condi Rice was just interviewed on Fox'N Friends and she did a slam-dunk on Richard Clarke.

She properly noted that he had been Counter-Terrorism Czar for a number of years in the Clinton Administration and had plenty of opportunity to develop strategies to confront Al Qaeda which he (and that Administration) never pursued.

She acknowledged that Clarke had a number of "ideas" about confronting and combatting terrorism -- many of which the Bush Administration adopted. But they were a set of "ideas" not a comprehensive strategy which President Bush was looking for.

Typical Condi performance: flawless.

BibChr is rational. All others are irrational.
rinse.
repeat.

[BibChr]

Now you're just being silly. Odd screen name, given your line of argument.

So here's one more post. Want no more responses? Stop the irrational attacks. Or, if you can, answer the question.

Of course, it is. There was no other reason for you to try and change the subject.

[justshutupandtakeit]

I put on a blindfold.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Apparently you haven't comprehended my remarks.

[VadeRetro]

... he had been Counter-Terrorism Czar for a number of years in the Clinton Administration ...

Just another bitter, phased-out Clintonista.

[BibChr]

Change what subject? Have you lost the thread of the dialogue you started?

Rice for President 2008, said one poster.

What's her position on killing children for being inconvenient or imperfect?, I asked. (Nobody's answered yet, btw; just a lot of gassing about this and that irrelevancy.)

Then you came in on the attack, and I've responded.

Who changed the subject? Is her candidacy for President not the subject?

Then you're complaining to the wrong poster.

But I already pointed that out, didn't I? Have you gotten back to the person who brought up the topic, yet?

"Condi on the counter-attack. I love it. Looks like our side is getting its first response team in place quickly!"

As well they should; but, the story isn't over, either.

I DEMAND to know exactly *why* SeeBS permitted their Stahl-stooge to run with such a damningly inaccurate story BEFORE it was thoroughly checked out for accuracy.

I mean why there are people who watched the smear -- complete with the obligatory torential downpour of LIES supposedly presented as undisputable "smoking gun" evidence buttressing their FALSE claims -- who might've gotten the wrong idea, eh? < /sarc>

I'm simply fedup & sick to death of this kind of buillshit "journalism" being spewed -- HOURLY!! -- from America's pack of wild eyed Liberal-Socialist MORONS who're inundating & infesting OUR United States government OWNED FCC licensed airwaves!!

...enough is enough.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Your attack on Rice was a change of subject from the foreign policy content of this thread. There is no other way to view it. I respond to whom I wish not to whom YOU think I should.

Clarke claims that Condi Rice didn't even know who Al Qaeda was. I'm nearly falling on the floor laughing. The entire world knew UBL was a threat when he was interviewed in a world exclusive interview, by CNN's Nic Robertson in August of 1998, televised in it's entirety to the world via CNN and CNN International and when he famously repeated his jihad against America.

This has me laughing also. We have a cat that we got as a kitten probably six years ago. He went through several names because we just couldn't find one that fit his personality. As a kitten, he was just a crazy, psycho, and totally terrorized our other adult cat, and wouldn't leave her alone. Finally we started referring to him as "the terrorist" and that eventually involved to us calling him Bin Laden, or Bin for short. Well, obviously, after 9/11 we immediately had to change his name again, as we didn't want to be calling for Bin Laden throughout the neighborhood when he snuck out the door. What I'm getting to, is that before 9/11 even we knew who Bin Laden was, and we weren't the political junkies that we are now!

That's a GREAT story.

My sister is a stay at home mom of 3 and does not pay much attention to the news and NEVER has the television or radio on.

I called her on 9/11 because I knew she wouldn't know what was happening otherwise. She hadn't heard what was happening (I called around 9:30 that morning) and she immediately said it's Osama Bin Laden. I was stunned.

Everyone I called that day knew it was OBL. The air conditioning guy (who was no rocket scientist let me tell you!) who was working on our A/C that day knew it was OBL.

I doubt Clarke will repeat that particular comment as it's so provably false and ridiculous that he probably already regrets making it.

A judge will tell a jury that if a person has been found to lie about ANY part of their testimony, they may discard the evidence presented by that person altogether.

I think Clark has just told such a provable lie that we are able to discard his testimony and book alltogether.

[BibChr]

It really is starting to look as if you aren't reading before responding.

Prove me wrong. What did I answer the first time you called what I wrote "attacking"?

Dan

[ChevyZ28]

I continue to be amazed how the media goes to former Clinton administration officials to slam Bush on this war on terrorism. The Clinton Administration, a group who once had OBL offered to them during his presidency, yet he was allowed to be let go.

[Quix]

With due respect to Cheney . . .


CONDI FOR VP

THEN FOR PRESIDENT!!!

The Wall Street Journal has an excellent editorial today, about how the 9/11 commission is nothing but a Democrat partisan witch hunt, nothing more than a campaign stunt. I think that it is time to revisit those leaked memos regarding the use of the commission for partisan purposes.

[justshutupandtakeit]

If you want to talk about Condi's alledged position on abortion start another thread. This one is not concerned with that issue. Trying to highjack it into becoming one is not what anyone but you wants.

[section9]

Please stop.

This is a thread about Richard Clarke's charges agianst Condi Rice and the Bush Administration concerning the buildup to 9-11. You want to talk about abortion. This isn't the thread for that.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[BibChr]

Have you written the person who brought up the thought of Rice for President yet?

I wonder why you want to keep this going, when you can't just answer simple questions. I'm not enjoying this. What are you getting out of it?

Dan

[BibChr]

You wrote the wrong person. Go back and follow the thread. If you haven't the time, just go on to something else.

I'll stop responding when I've nothing to respond to.

Dan

[mewzilla]

LOL. It's not lookin' good for their side, folks. Just heard an ABC Radio news story at the top of the hour on this and it was fair and balanced! Gasp! It even gave a decent sound bite to Dr. Rice's refutation of Clarke's BS. Oh, my.
