Mansoor Ijaz slamming Richard Clarke on Fox'N Friends

Fox News Channel

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Mansoor Ijaz just called Richard Clarke essentially a liar. Challenged virtually all of his claims -- and accused Clarke of stonewalling Ijaz's efforts to capture Bin Laden via the Sudanese.

[DonnerT]

Cheney and Rice=top two attack dogs!

Republican Rotweilers!

[jonno]

bump

[First_Salute]

Bump.

[RoseofTexas]

The media lib WHORES got what they wanted from Clarke! Ijaz will never see his version on the national tube! GOSH I HATE THOSE CLYMERS! Anyway, nothing to see here, move along the whores have their ammo and will use it to the hilt!! What W needs to do is IMMEDIATELY go on the offensive against Clarke...not tomorrow, but NOW!! Notice how ketchup boy immediately, like in the next day or the next hour, countattacks W's camp accusations! THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT!!

[an amused spectator]

**grin**

We don't want you to have to stop the car...

[Ditto]

And when 43 came in, Clarke was demoted from his cabinet-level position. Gee, wonder why the lamestream never mentions that little fact.

I pulled out my old copy of Bob Woodward's book, Bush at War which accounted the months after 9-11 and Clarke's name is not mentioned once in the book. (At least not listed in the index).

I'm not sure what that means, but since Woodward claims he had unfettered access to anyone he wanted to talk to, it appears that Clarke was not near the top of anyone's VIP list.

[Peach]

What Clarke would just as soon we forget.

Everyone, call your elected RATS offices, particularly in DC, and tell them, "nice try, Clarke struck out, next batter up, if you like -- particularly as we await the list of foreign leaders supporting your presumptive nominee."

[finnman69]

At least Imus this morning was slamming Clarke as an opportunist shilling a book.

[b4its2late]

I hope Ijaz is going before the commission too.

[MamaLucci]

Clarke offered a chillingly prescient quote from one aide who agreed with him about Clinton administration inaction. "What's it going to take to get them to hit al Qaeda in Afghanistan? Does al Qaeda have to attack the Pentagon?" said the dismayed Clintonista...

Wow...how many pieces of silver have the clintonoids promised this traitor to cover up THEIR failures?

[Ditto]

Simon & Schuster is owned by Viacom which also owns CBS and 60 Minutes. Circle jerk promotion that happens to fit in with the Viacom execs partisan prejudices.

[Kieri]

Monsoor Ijaz will be a guest on Tony Snow's radio show this hour (10AM ET 3/22/04) to talk more about what he said on F&F this morning!

Listen live here:

[philosofy123]

What is the Peter principle? I bet my Peter is bigger than your Peter?

[finnman69]

Classic quote fo the AM. Don Imus said Clarke's publisher Simon & Schuster were...damn I can't remember the word...'terrorists'? possibly for allowint Clarke to publish this book.

[Chances Are]

Is John Podhoretz any relation to Norman Podhoretz?

CA....

[philosofy123]

You mean to tell me any regular Joe can call the CIA, and get insider information like this dude.

[EEDUDE]

"He's always very excited about one thing or another, but it rarely seems that his breathless predictions come true."


If you recall, he was the one talking about Pakistans' "Father of the Islamic bomb" selling nuclear secrets to other countries MONTHS before anyone else said a word about it.

I think the guy has a lot of credibility.

[arjay]

I have searched my local library as well as Amazon.com and can find no book by Richard Minter.

Would you be kind enough to give a title for the book?

Thank you for your help.

Drudge: The Sunday Times has established that after a fierce internal row about the sincerity of the offer, the White House responded by sending Richard Clarke, Clinton's most senior counterterrorism adviser, to meet the rulers of the United Arab Emirates. They denied there was any such offer. Ijaz, however, maintained that the White House had thereby destroyed the deal, which was to have been arranged only through unofficial channels. Ijaz said that weeks later on a return trip to the Gulf he was taken on a late-night ride into the desert by his contact who told him that Clarke's front-door approach had upset a delicate internal balance and blown the deal. "Your government has missed a major opportunity," he recalls being told.

[TomGuy]

I was thinking of this one. I think he mentioned it, as well:

Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Endangered America's Long-Term National Security

by Robert Patterson

[Alamo-Girl]

Bump!

[Recovering_Democrat]

OTOH, perhaps this jackass's presence in the administration isn't fatal to the President, but only to the 'rat Party...Bush is seen by the electorate as a fair, fine leader during wartime. The 'rats (including those he allowed to remain) are falling on their swords trying to wipe him out, but are not being received very well.

At least it is a thought....

[BSunday]

I liked Dick Clarke when he hosted American Bandstand

(tee hee)

[philosofy123]

Now it is getting clear. You can reread your post slowly and get a sense of what is wrong with this picture.

Here is what I get from your post. Mansoor is a Moslem Pakistani-American. He has an "investment" management company that employs the ex-CIA director? What is the CIA chief knows about investment? Why the investment company is called Crescent, a symbol of Islam? Are James Woosley, and Abrahmson (both known for their Neo-cons political views) connected to Islamic investments, or money laundering of funds to Islamic organizations?

That is essentially the reasons that the Saudis funded the Al Qaeda, and Egypt provided Zawahri and his hate ideologies, and Pakistan provided international network, and arm shipments, and the US is unable to get its arms around this monster. Simply because of lots of ex-big shots are on the take from the Saudis. This big banana republic of ours will never get its politics right because its politicians never think of AMERICA FIRST. One time we had a politician, who kept drumming that slogan, and you remember what happened to him? Both parties, and the Washington establishment ran him out of town; he has big ears, and he was short, and he speaks with an accent, he quit the race, and came back again, he worried about his daughter wedding….

[Barset]

Thank you for working so hard to get the facts out. The Left hopes we will become discouraged and turn away from the struggle. b

[jwalsh07]

Is John Podhoretz any relation to Norman Podhoretz?

Norman is Johns son. Born of liberal parentage they have seen the light.

[jwalsh07]

My bad. John is Normans son.

[Moby Grape]

I see truth in what you are saying...I hope this pans out the way you are suggesting.

[ken5050]

Clarke's book, and this media blitz, and the retun of Mad Maddie Halfbright to the media, is all carefully timed before Slick appears before the 9/11 commission..it's a big-time CYA operation..

[BSunday]

You wanna hear about a hellish situation ? I was at the navy hosptital last night with my son (double ear infection plus strep throat) and the two tv's in the waiting room were tuned to 60 minutes featuring Clarke and AMC showing Thelma and Louise..AAAAAAAAGH!!!

[TomGuy]

Clarke's book, and this media blitz, and the retun of Mad Maddie Halfbright to the media, is all carefully timed before Slick appears before the 9/11 commission..it's a big-time CYA operation..

I hadn't considered that, but I forgot the missile attack when Monica was going to testify, etc. Yeh, it is certainly plausible. I have noticed that Clintonites come out of the woodwork every few months in attempts to rewrite history and revise the Clinton legacy. That is definitely a pattern.

[Joy Angela]

The 911 Commission isn't taking Mansoor Ijaz's testimony?

I hate to say this...but what if the Clinton Administration set up the Bush Administration from the get-go?

What if...they not only encouraged the 911 terrorist
attack, but also put evidence (and people) in place that would make Bush look bad when he took action?

Both the FBI and the CIA still have Clinton Cronies in
top positions... What if these cronies set up Bush by giving him information that set us up for war, and after
the war, they now "present evidence" against him?

**The Conspiring Clintons**
An evil only Satan could love.

[arjay]

Thanks. I was spelling it "Minter" instead of "Miniter".

[Alamo-Girl]

Excellent analysis, ken5050! This is no coincidence...

[SevenofNine]

OH MAN I just hear on FR just now

Did he call Richard Clarke a B****

ALRIGHT cool Rack Mozziz Iziz

[bmwcyle]

I saw it. He was mad enough to rip his lung out.

[Quix]

Yeah, I'm still waiting on some answers to those kinds of prayers, too.

I'd prefer KEEL HAULING a number of the treasonous idiots under the USS RONALD REAGAN aircraft carrier.

But I'd take exile to a pig farm in Siberia.

[SevenofNine]

Okay I got question what type of dog Rummy is LOL!

[TankerKC]

Is every politician in someones pocket or crooked?

No, some are both. </bashing>

[CedarDave]

Clinton got rid of everyone, even those beyond the travel office.

That seems to be the MO for the Rats. Here in NM in 2003, new Governor Richardson fired (aka "demanded resignation letters from") every non-civil service employee in every department and division, every member of every board and commission (from hairdressers to professional engineers), every judicial oversight board (until the judges stepped in), and every member of the boards of regents at state schools and universities. The excuse given was so that he could shape state government to better govern and serve the public. Even some members of the press felt a little uncomfortable swallowing that excuse. If the Republicans had done that, they would immediately have been assailed as "right-wing, partisan and mean spirited". By contrast, the previous eight years under Governor Johnson could be described as "benign neglect". If things were going good why change them? The republicans have to bite the bullet when taking office -- clean house and kick out the SOBs. Let them bitch to the press at the beginning of the administration not at the start of the re-election campaign four years later.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Thank your son for his service to our country -- I'm sure I speak for the thousands on Free Republic and tens of millions more in this great land of ours. The way the war on terror is being politicized just sickens me but I can only imagine what it does to you and your family.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

His son.

[CedarDave]

That's o.k. Two of Mel Gibson's movies are/have been on TV this week. They will get more viewing than 60 minutes and left-wing Susan. Also, Rush will be on in a few minutes and will have his hands full with all the news clips from yesterday and this morning.

[Bob]

I have searched my local library as well as Amazon.com and can find no book by Richard Minter.

I don't know the title but I believe his name is spelled Miniter.

[BSunday]

Thank your son for his service to our country

No, I'm the one in the military - my son is 5. But thanks for the appreciation.

[E Rocc]

He used a racial slur to describe Ijaz.

Might not have been a DUmmy then. We have our own contingent that thinks any and all Muslims are terrorists in disguise.

I pulled out my old copy of Bob Woodward's book, Bush at War which accounted the months after 9-11 and Clarke's name is not mentioned once in the book. (At least not listed in the index).

Does anyone have Bill Sammon's book on the same topic? Mine's either out on loan to my brother or misplaced in this disorganized library I live in.
