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.

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.

"...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]"

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.

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?

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.
