When committee members asked if Clarke had prepared a “comprehensive strategy to combat terrorism,” the notoriously patronizing Clarke blew them off.

It was “silly” to believe such a strategy could be developed, said Clarke, “belittling” the committee for daring to pose the question.

“If there are no clear requirements or plan,” Shays asked in obvious disgust, “how does the administration prioritize the $12.9 billion it intends to spend” on counter-terrorism and related activities?

This is an outstanding piece.

Thanks.

Clarke: Imcompetent or merely a traitor?

Jack Cashill used to be a talk show host in KC, and I’ve always liked him a lot.

Most recently, around Christmas while Chris Stigall was on vacation, Jack hosted the morning show. Brought back a lot of memories.

his demotion had less to do with Bush’s negligence, as Clarke and others have implied, than with Clarke’s own perceived incompetence

A fed intell agent is an oxymoron. Read Shadow Warriors, there Timmerman has this numbskull's number. He no more saw 9-11 coming than a blind, spavined broke-d!ck mule. Only that one retired FBI agent (who was ironically killed in the collaspe of the WTC) realized what was coming. The Clinton admin wasn't listening to his repeated warnings about a coming major terror event, including this discredited boob.

I know it's from Cashill, but here's a nice tidbit of data...

This is the fourth in a six-part series detailing the risks to American national security if Barack Obama (or Hillary Clinton) should ever choose to let Richard Clarke back into government. Clarke is currently one of Obama’s top national security advisors.

Is the VIPS crew on Obama's team this time too?

Every time I read an article like this I am reminded of the real problem facing conservatives in the United States - an irresponsible, biased, lazy, and incompetent media. What happened to objective journalists who desire to discover the truth so much that they will dig until they find it and then have the integrity to report the facts rather than their own political spin on them?

Something always struck me as weird about the Clarke stuff. It just wasn’t like the Bush administration to brush off serious warnings. Now we know why.

Is Clark still on Fox's payroll? it says volumes about that network that he ever was.

“What [Bush has] done after 9/11 has made us less safe,” Clarke continued. “Absolutely.”...I seem to remember that Clarke expressed extreme displeasure with the fact that Clinton wanted to treat the terrorist threat as a law enforcement matter and was happy that President Bush saw it as an issue of us being at war - and yet Clarke insists that Bush made us "less safe" - strange.....

"a sycophant and blowhard" are a few of the terms Cashill applied to Clarke during a recent talk on C-Span2...right on.....

This reminds me of that hilarious drama about the leadup to 9-11 where Richard Clark was potrayed as the "one that knew the score".

LOL!
