RICHARD CLARKE'S SHIFTING STORIES

New York Post ^ | 3/25/04

March 25, 2004 -- 'You've got a real credibility problem," former Navy Secretary John Lehman, a member of the federal 9/11 commission, told one-time White House official - now full-time fabulist - Richard Clarke yesterday. And Clarke did virtually nothing to resolve that problem during his hours of testimony.

Nice that the national media is picking up on his duplicity. If he is a one man band, and no other 'insiders' come along saying the same things he has, then over time I think the shock value of the 60 Minutes hit piece will be whittled away by articles and columns such as this one, and it won't be an issue come election time.

Joe Wilson and Richard Clarke...the mandarins at State are trying a coup.

9/11 COULD NOT HAVE BEEN PREVENTED

Things you won't hear on Liberal TV.

This will blow over and the lies will be repeated on every channel every day by those carrying the message for the America haters.

Clarke is a consultant for ABC. Cohen is a consultant for CNN, and no doubt other clintonoids will be behind the scenes at all the leftist networks.

It is clear that there is renewed effort to destroy the president since Rush and Sean and others are out there telling the truth to overcome their lies.

9/11 COULD NOT HAVE BEEN PREVENTED Things you won't hear on Liberal TV.

Biden and Lieberman, to their credit, said the same thing on the Sunday Morning news shows. But because they refused to bash Bush on that issue, it's gotten almost no coverage.

Republicans have the serenity and sense to know this:

The alphabet news agencies are the Enemy Within America.

Through CONSTANT RIDICULE of these shills, literally hundreds of people I know have seen the truth behind their lies.

Everyone here has a responsibility TODAY to ensure that at least 10 people are confronted with the ridicule of CNNABCCBSNBC, Kerry, Clinton and the Democratic Party.

Get on with it!

Part of that plan, adopted in mid-February 2001, he said, was to "increase CIA resources . . . for covert action five-fold to go after al Qaeda" (emphasis added).

In other words Bush took more decisive action in his first month in office than Clinton did in 8 years.

In addition, if awareness could have prevented 9/11, then what happened in Spain?

"...Clarke yesterday defended President Bill Clinton, whom he served as a top anti-terrorism advisor, alleging the former president had "no higher priority" than combating terrorism...[sic]"

Anyone remember this ~

"...Everything was more important than fighting terrorism. Political correctness, civil liberties concerns, fear of offending the administration's supporters, Janet Reno's objections, considerations of cost, worries about racial profiling and, in the second term, surviving impeachment, all came before fighting terrorism...[sic]"

BINGO!!!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

The libs have a new God now in Clarke. Michael Moore boosted their new standard to "fact free and proud of it". Expect more to come from all over the place with less and less credibility than before. The left is going to get so far out there, even their usual useful idiots won't believe them anymore.

"Clarke is a consultant for ABC. Cohen is a consultant for CNN, and no doubt other clintonoids will be behind the scenes at all the leftist networks."

But thank goodness we have networks like Fox that want to see the truth come out. The transcript of the Clarke briefing that occured pre 9/ll just blows his current claims out of the water. In that briefing he is acknowledging that Bush is doing all the things that he now says Bush never even considered doing. Bless Fox news, talk radio and the internet. The truth now has a chance.

[OESY]

Bottom-line, the choice is clear: Bush in his first month increased "CIA resources ... for covert action five-fold to go after al Qaeda" while Kerry voted to strip $1.5 billion from the nation's intelligence effort even as we needed to gear up to fight terrorism.

Forget whether you feel safer today. The real question is, Under which presidential candidate will you feel safer during the next four years 2005-2009?

"9/11 COULD NOT HAVE BEEN PREVENTED."
I don't agree. The previous administration had eight years to deal with OBL. It just kicked the can down the road instead of facing the issue. President Clinton chose to do nothing when he had eight years to remove OBL. Very much could have been done. It's a simple fact, nothing was done.

[Monty22]

msnbc.com's opinion page is barf inducing. Using the term 'Bushies' in their slate links. And acting like Clarke's some sort of new age messiah too.

The truth needs our help!

We have to speak up, write letters, call in to talk radio if we can.
