NO I missed it. I don't know who is who cuz I just turned on the tv because of this thread...

[N8VTXNinWV]

lol! That's funny! I just sent a ping out to you not a few minutes earlier about it on another thread! Great minds!

[CHICAGOFARMER]

ditto on the ditto

a real bombshell.

[Steve_Seattle]

CBS has sunk to the level of the National Enquirer . . . no, make that the Weekly World News with it's pics of space aliens shaking hands with Clinton.

Far different from what he said to Charlie Rose...
Hes just jockeying for democrat largess as in a job or something else.. Probably for a job.. The state dept. is full of this type.. and at lower position probably most of the other arms of the federal gov't too..

Demos love federal jobs.. the Government Workers Union is one of the the most radical leftist orgaizations out there. Should be outlawed or at the least investigated and then exposed.. No matter the President they are for democrats because they are mostly democrats and RINOS. Foreign terrorists have not the total impact on this country as they do.. Its damned near impossible for anybody, anybody, to fire one of them either.

Rush is on top of this and is listing everything that proves Clarke to be a liar-scum-of-the-earth, self-serving bureaucrat!

[So Cal Rocket]

Why can't everyone realize that Clarke's assertions have already been publized as fact all day Sunday, in promos during the Basketball games.

BINGO... bears repeating... typical Leftist methodology:

1. Make wild accusation
2. Make wide distribution of accusation in Leftist Media
3. When accused defends themselves, accuse them of attacking the messenger
4. If and when the record is cleared, minimize distribution of facts.

[txrangerette]

Clear something up for me...can't
Clarke keep ranting on about one
thing?...that Bush diverted from
al-Qaeda to Saddam at some point?
Based on Bush asking Clarke after
9-11 to "find out if Iraq did it",
and then the later attack on Iraq.

Note this briefing only deals with
pre-9/11.

Or is it just deadly to Clarke's
credibility, so he's shown a liar?

[GOPrincess]

Got the hearings on in the background... I've got to start homeschooling lessons pretty soon (have the kidlets working on spelling while I'm bouncing from FR to the TV to Rush...) but I figure them listening to some of this going on is "history" and a lesson in media bias, even if they don't get the whole picture yet. :)

[pollywog]

Yep, but let's see if it's reported in the Slimes.

Maybe we better send the transcripts to the slimes!!!!

QUESTION: Were all of those issues part of alleged plan that was late December and the Clinton team decided not to pursue because it was too close to ...

CLARKE: There was never a plan, Andrea. What there was was these two things: One, a description of the existing strategy, which included a description of the threat. And two, those things which had been looked at over the course of two years, and which were still on the table.

QUESTION: So there was nothing that developed, no documents or no new plan of any sort?

CLARKE: There was no new plan.

QUESTION: No new strategy — I mean, I don't want to get into a semantics ...

CLARKE: Plan, strategy — there was no, nothing new.

QUESTION: 'Til late December, developing ...

CLARKE: What happened at the end of December was that the Clinton administration NSC principals committee met and once again looked at the strategy, and once again looked at the issues that they had brought, decided in the past to add to the strategy. But they did not at that point make any recommendations.

QUESTIONS: Had those issues evolved at all from October of '98 'til December of 2000?

CLARKE: Had they evolved? Um, not appreciably.

~snip~

Um, would that be Andrea Mitchell? She who has been acting like the Clarke book is credible?

[Arrowhead1952]

Yeah, Maddddd-lie-line Allllldull

sounded like a vain idiot, too.

I saw a clip of her on Fox the other evening, and you could almost tell she was lying. She tried not to look at the camera, as if she had something to hide. I finally had to look away from the TV. She is so scary looking. Almost as bad as Janet el' Reneo.

[Indy Pendance]

Fantastic! Thanks for the ping!

[Pippin]

Thanks for the ping, Howlin!

Everybody come and see this!

Clarke is TOAST!

[GOPrincess]

Gracias. I will try to put in a call later this morning.

[Preachin']

Too funny.

I'll bet our trolls are enjoying this story.

[Defender2]

#153. Your Welcome!!!!:-)

[Dolphy]

One of us mis-heard. I think he was actually slamming the Bush administration in general, and Condi Rice in particular, for saying that they had changed the approach to Al-quaeda, and developed a plan for dealing with it. He absolutely has savaged the Clinton administration, but I think his comments this morning were aimed at the Bush administration plan.

I heard it exactly as you did.

On another note, I wonder if the commission will be briefed before Dick arrives for his ever so important two hours.

[slimer]

CBS has been caught with their pants down so many times that they all wear skirts now.
