Had to shorten the Title to fit...

What I want to know is: where was 60 Minutes when Clinton was "blowing off" the war on terror? Where was 60 Minutes when Clinton was keeping foreign leaders waiting while he was in the Oval ... well, you know.

And will 60 Minutes question this guy's motivations? I don't think so.

[secret garden]

"Former" is all you need to know. They always have an axe to grind.

[Just mythoughts]

If this guy was any good at his job, 9/11 would not have happened.

[secret garden]

And a book deal? The pieces are falling smoothly into place now, aren't they?

[teletech]

Another Bush basher gets his 15 minutes of fame. YAWN

[monkeywrench]

The "top counter terrorism advisor" failed this country by allowing 911. President Bush should've cleaned house of all the clingons.

[Texas Eagle]

pssssst....Leslie....aks Richard if he thinks we should return Saddam to power.....

[tirednvirginia]

I don't understand this. I remember Cheney on MTP right after 9-11 saying that there was no indication Iraq had a hand in the attacks. It was always about Afghanistan until we heard the "Axis of Evil" speech. Maybe my memory needs freshening.

[kaboom]

His primary motivation for this interview and criticism would be his upcoming book release

Below the surface, it should become obvious that this man is deeply troubled by his personal failure to properly advise President Bush and his predicesors. As a terrorism expert, he has only proven himself to be a monday morning quarterback who failed to recognize, or convey effectively, the the true threat that Osama presented.

[Wait4Truth]

We all better prepare for a few very ugly weeks as the media RAT lapdogs assail President Bush. Then it will be our turn. Our President needs our support now as all the clintonites try to pin 9/11 on him while giving the clinton team a complete pass. The 9/11 commission is a total disgrace...even the Republican chairman, Kean, is a past friend of bill. On top of that, Chris Wallace has McCain (Bush-hater) and Joe Lieberman (Bush-hater) as his guests tomorrow morning. Ain't life grand?

[pieces of time]

Exactly! Is she going to mention that after all of the Terrorist attacks during the Clinton Administration, Clinton blew-off getting Osama bin laden (while being "serviced" by an intern). How many times did Sudan try to hand Osama over? What about the Lisa Myers CIA tape from a Predator that showed Osama in a terrorist camp? Clinton did nothing but it's Bush's fault? I don't get the logic here. Do you think viewers of the mainstream media will really buy this? (don't answer)

Viacom = Publisher of Clarke's hit piece

Viacom = CBS

End of story

Outrageous, and CBS should get hit hard for this trash.

"But frankly I find it outrageous that the president is running for re-election on the grounds that he's done such great things about terrorism. He ignored it. He ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we could have done something."

Oct. 12, 2000 - A terrorist bomb damages the destroyer USS Cole in the port of Aden, Yemen, killing 17 sailors and injuring 39. Aug. 7, 1998 - Terrorist bombs destroy the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. In Nairobi, 12 Americans are among the 291 killed, and over 5,000 are wounded, including 6 Americans. In Dar es Salaam, one U.S. citizen is wounded among the 10 killed and 77 injured. In June 21, 1998 - Rocket-propelled grenades explode near the U.S. embassy in Beirut. July 27, 1996 - A pipe bomb explodes during the Olympic games in Atlanta, killing one person and wounding 111. June 25, 1996 - A bomb aboard a fuel truck explodes outside a U.S. air force installation in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. 19 U.S. military personnel are killed in the Khubar Towers housing facility, and 515 are wounded, including 240 Americans. Nov. 13, 1995 - A car-bomb in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia kills seven people, five of them American military and civilian advisers for National Guard training. The "Tigers of the Gulf," "Islamist Movement for Change," and "Fighting Advocates of God" claim responsibility. April 19, 1995 - A car bomb destroys the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people and wounding over 600. February 1993 - A bomb in a van explodes in the underground parking garage in New York's World Trade Center, killing six people and wounding 1,042.

Yup. President Bush should've done something about terrorism when Bill Clinton was President. Is that about what you are saying, Dick?

[eeriegeno]

Doesn't this Clarke guy look a bit like Nikita Kruschev????

[The Wizard]

clarke is a flaming asshole.

[cwb]

I was more impressed with the story of the Art and Culture guys who turned on Bush after the so-called Baghdad Museum thefts. If there's one thing we should learn from Clinton; dump everybody from previous administration.

“He ignored it. He ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we could have done something to stop 9/11.

Oh, fercryingoutloud. They hadn't even had time to get all of the stains out of the carpets.

I wonder if old Leslie will mention that FREE PRESS, the outfit that's publishing Clarke's book, is owned by VIACOM?

Former...thats enough for me...moving on to real news

[plain talk]

“He ignored it. He ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we could have done something to stop 9/11. Maybe. We’ll never know,” he tells Stahl

No wonder. He's a disgruntled former advisor. And he's got SFB.
