His Clintoooooooon knee pads are showing!

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Yes, Clinton's 8 years in office were a bulwark against terrorism -- every month bringing a new threat and a new victory. It was his primary focus -- the virtual foundation for his Bridge to the 21st Century! Too bad we couldn't elect him President-For-Life! Maybe Koffi Annan would be willing to share his leadership duties at the UN -- or step-down to make way for the greatest leader of our times. I think John Kerry should weave this into his campaign stump speech... Yeah, that's the ticket!

I wonder if that "friend of Bill" that Clinton wanted on the CIA payroll was John Huang?

Huang's legal access to American Intelligence, first as a Lippo executive and later as a Democratic Party official, is totally unique. A Commerce department security officer testified before Senator Fred Thompson's [R-TN] Senate Government Affairs Committee that "no other consultant on the Department of Commerce payroll was ever granted a top secret security clearance." The length to which Huang went to keep his security clearance as a DNC official suggests, of course, a serious intent to exercise it.

Amazing how good the Clintonites' hindsight is now, considering they had their heads up their hind-ends on terrorism for 8 years.

Why in hell were so many kept in place by Bush?

Guess it was part of Bush's "new tone" policy?
Bet he regrets it now.

Thank you, Mr. Clarke. Here's your lithium and hot tea. Go back to your room, now, before you hurt yourself.

Eight long years filled with terror attacks and clinton did nothing.

Is Clarke suggesting that if only clinton had another four years he might have actually done something besides launch a missile into a tent and hit a camel in the butt.

[OldFriend]

And we know that Freeh met with clinton EVERY day!

Doubtful that Freeh got anywhere near the oval office for many a year.

Bill Clinton fiddled with an intern while terrorists trained to fly jets. Emperor Nero played the fiddle while Rome burned.

[OldFriend]

Awwwwww, bubala was intimidated by Dubya!

And notice how the media NEVER mentions that Clarke was in slick willie's administration for eight years before the two years he was in the Bush administration.

[freedom4me]

Let's see...Clinton couldn't act on nabbing Bin Laden because he was preoccupied with sex scandals.

It's the Republicans fault! I knew it, I knew it!

On September 24, 2001

Kerry on Hardball w/Chris Matthews

Included TWA 800 in the list of terror attacks

If you google Kerry TWA 800 Terror Act you can read the entire quote.

Carol Devine-Molin has been on 60 Minutes dozens of time.

The Clarke appearance was simply an attempt at fair and balanced reporting.

No need for the sarcasm symbol!!!!!

[pieces of time]

Mansoor Ijaz just tore Clarke a new one on Fox and Friends!
Real fighting words. Wants to go one on one with Dick Clarke. Go Mansoor!

[kcvl]

Monsoor Ijaz just cleared up Richard Clark's lies. Richard Clark went to Sandy Burger and blocked the effort to get Osama Bin Laden, AT EVERY STEP. Monsoor will challenge him on any television show or testify anywhere he is asked. Monsoor said that Clark is completely out of control and he will see that Clark is held accountable for the lies he is telling.

[kcvl]

He sure did!
