Sandy Berger Blasts Bush for Security Failure
Convicted 9/11 Commission document thief Sandy Berger is blasting the Bush administration for failing to bring security to Iraq after toppling Saddam Hussein.
As co-chair of a Council on Foreign Relations Iraq war task force, Berger and his colleagues are complaining that the U.S.'s failure to prepare for the period after the war had given "early impetus for the insurgency," according to quotes picked up by Reuters.
Despite pleading guilty in April to destroying top secret terrorism documents related to the 9/11 investigation, the former Clinton administration national security advisor was tapped to head up the CFR panel along with former Bush 41 National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft.
In a written report released last week, the Berger-Scowcroft panel concluded:
"The critical miscalculation of Iraq war-planning was that the stabilization and reconstruction mission would require no more forces than the invasion itself."
Berger and his colleagues cited the Bush administration's "inattention" and "misjudgments" as key reasons for the post-war security failure.
"Pre-war inattention to post-war requirements – or simply misjudgments about them – left the United States ill-equipped to address public security, governance and economic demands in the immediate aftermath of the conflict, seriously undermining key U.S. foreign policy goals."
Despite the seriousness of his crime, Justice Department prosecutors have recommended that Berger serve no jail time, and instead pay only a $10,000 fine and surrender his security clearance for three years.
His sentence is scheduled to be set by D.C. Magistrate Judge Deborah Robinson in September.
Who yanked his chain...better yet, Sandy should be wearing a ball and chain around his ankle and pounding rocks.
This guy's still around?! He's been tapped to CO-CHAIR something??!!
We deserve whatever the hell we get if we are that weak and stupid in the face of the twisted corrupt Dems. Good going Republicans!!!! Nice job being the majority party...obviously you know how to get things done...sigh.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Bush's Administration never has learned that you do NOT give these guys "breaks", cause they will come back a bite you...
just like those terrorists that we released from Gitmo, are they grateful for freedom, NO--they go back to Afghanistan and attack Americans again...
Is Sandy Berger grateful not to be on trial in front of the whole world, NO---he is attacking Bush, just like Clinton, who Bush has shown respect, and so has Carter, and Ted Kennedy!
Berger and Scowcroft hooked up, huh?? I read an excellent commentary on FR yesterday, written by Charles Krauthammer that explains why Scowcroft has "turned" on Dubya, after serving his DAD....it is a pity, that those that leave office have a penchant for spitting at those still in service to this country...and in such an open and vindictive way...
I am having a hard time remembering when "class" stood for anything in this country.
Agree with you! Security Failure? Well, Berger is right...
we didn't secure his butt when he stole those papers. What an insulting jerk..he should just go away and STFU!
I am still mind boggled when i see the unmitigated arrogance of the Libs.
He also said he has proof, hidden somewhere in his pants.
Here's another CFR boy gone bad.
What is this man doing forming panels? He should be forming license plates.
"Bush's Administration never has learned that you do NOT give these guys "breaks", cause they will come back a bite you... "
Sleazy Sandy wasn't co chair of any official Govt sponsored group. This was a "think tank" hit piece paid for by the Council on Foreign Relations.
...an act that caused him to lose all credibility rendering him unworthy of an audience of any sort...
This chipmunk-cheeked fat bastard should be taken to the woodshed and caned.
Yeah security sucks Sandy. Square Pants Berger should be living at the bottom of the ocean.
