Storm Warnings - Bin Laden was a threat, but Clinton never pushed it ...
MSnbc/Newsweek ^ | Mar 21, 2004 | Michael Isikoff and Evan Thomas

Posted on 03/21/2004 6:19:57 PM PST by The Raven

Clarke is perhaps not the most neutral source. Last year Clarke's best friend, Rand Beers, quit as the White House's counterterrorism chief after complaining—over glasses of wine on Clarke's front porch—about the wrong-headedness of Bush's plan to invade Iraq. Beers is now a principal foreign-policy adviser to Kerry.

Not only that, it appears that Clark has given money to Democrats:

60 minutes was NOT duped, make no mistake, they know exactly what they are doing putting this lying creep on to degrade the administration, and demoralize again, our men and women in harms way.

This shows more of a problem GWB should have, but failed to, deal with on January 21, 2001: He should have cleaned house of as many Clintonites as the law would allow. Failure to do that then has been a thorn in GWB's administration the last 3 years.

Remember how Clinton cleaned house in his early days? GW should have done similar.

I hate to say it, but Bush made a serious, serious mistake not to shovel these people out of his administration from the get-go.

The Democrats never make this mistake. When clinton got into office, he fired everybody. Including every U.S. Attorney and the head of the FBI.

Bush suffered from the illusion that you can work with Democrats. Not these Democrats. Not for the past 30 or 40 years.

Sure the press would have screamed when he fired everybody. But then it would all have been over with.

One of the greatest problems (and assets) shared by both Bush Presidents is an unwillingness to judge individauls too harshly.

There's no question but that Randy Beers has now entered the partisan political fray as a Kerry man. And, therefore, he's fair game for potshots from those who oppose Kerry.

But no one should question his integrity. I knew Randy Beers earlier in my State Department career, and I never met a more honest, intelligent, hardworking, and results-oriented manager. People would be making a big mistake if they simply assume Beers is like other partisan "political operators" and has been an "operator" himself for his entire career. He hasn't. He's been a nonpartisan civil servant, who rose high in the State Department based on results and performance. The fact that he resigned from State and became a Kerry advisor speaks to the depth of Beers' alientation from the Bush administration, I suspect, more than anything else.

I don't think that CBS was duped at all...

As with Clinton, I think that CBS wants Bush gone, and will do what ever they can to ensure that Bush gets as much bad press as possible, while glossing over everything his opponents do.

The fact that he's a supporter of John Forbes Kerry makes it obvious to me that every person of decency should challenge his integrity, his morality, and his patriotism.
