Mansoor Ijaz slamming Richard Clarke on Fox'N Friends

Fox News Channel

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Mansoor Ijaz just called Richard Clarke essentially a liar. Challenged virtually all of his claims -- and accused Clarke of stonewalling Ijaz's efforts to capture Bin Laden via the Sudanese.

[philosofy123]

Is this guy a reporter, or a spy?

[an amused spectator]

Re: Mansoor and Podhoretz.

Thanks, guys (and gals!) I stepped in gum that time!

[Bluntpoint]

Just be thankful you were not in charge of reviewing the data after 9-11.

We may have bombed Bob Hope based upon your observations.

[Milligan]

Because of their blind hate, they will get US killed.

[philosofy123]

Mansoor is an expert on the raghead culture, but does he work for the CIA?

[captbarney]

Mansoor is NOW a reporter. But, in the toon administration he was a "TYPE" of "envoy" to the mid-east. NOT UNDERCOVER

[danamco]

I find Mansoor Ijaz more credible than Richard Cyber Clarke who guess what, has a book coming out this week. WOW what a coincidence


How about let Clarke know our opinion about him! Is his e-mail address available so we can fill it up?

"Re: Mansoor and Podhoretz.

No problem, this was a JAMMED PACKED morning on FOX, leaving no stones unturned exposing Clarke for the two-face lying crooked liberal he is.

One has to wonder what job JFKerry incorporated has promised Clarke.

[Peach]

Bob Woodward in his book Bush at War was given unprecedented access to the president and his administration, including Clarke. Clarke did not mention his concerns about a "focus on Iraq."

The Bush administration was continuing the Clinton administration's foreign policy which called for regime change in Iraq.

Iraq's involvement in supporting terrorists is longer than I can post her but some of the more obvious: Abdul Rahman Yasin, the one conspirator from the 1993 WTC bombing, had fled to Iraq and was harbored by Saddam Hussein for years. Paying Palestinian bomber's families. Salmon Pak where terrorists used a real airplane to learn how to hijack OUR planes.

Clarke claims that Condi Rice didn't even know who Al Qaeda was. I'm nearly falling on the floor laughing. The entire world knew UBL was a threat when he was interviewed in a world exclusive interview, by CNN's Nic Robertson in August of 1998, televised in it's entirety to the world via CNN and CNN International and when he famously repeated his jihad against America.

Just a year ago Clarke was singing a different tune, telling reporter Richard Miniter, author of the book "Losing bin Laden," that it was the Clinton administration - not team Bush - that had dropped the ball on bin Laden.

Clarke, who was a primary source for Miniter's book, detailed a meeting of top Clinton officials in the wake of al Qaeda's attack on the USS Cole in Yemen.

He urged them to take immediate military action. But his advice found no takers.

Reporting on Miniter's book, the National Review summarized the episode:

"At a meeting with Secretary of Defense William Cohen, Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Attorney General Janet Reno, and other staffers, Clarke was the only one in favor of retaliation against bin Laden."

The list of excuses seemed endless:

"Reno thought retaliation might violate international law and was therefore against it.

"Tenet wanted to more definitive proof that bin Laden was behind the attack, although he personally thought he was.

"Albright was concerned about the reaction of world opinion to a retaliation against Muslims, and the impact it would have in the final days of the Clinton Middle East peace process.

"Cohen, according to Clarke, did not consider the Cole attack 'sufficient provocation' for a military retaliation."

And what about President Clinton? According to what Clarke told Miniter, he rejected the attack plan. Instead Clinton twice phoned the president of Yemen demanding better cooperation between the FBI and the Yemeni security services.

Clarke offered a chillingly prescient quote from one aide who agreed with him about Clinton administration inaction. "What's it going to take to get them to hit al Qaeda in Afghanistan? Does al Qaeda have to attack the Pentagon?" said the dismayed Clintonista

[sirchtruth]

He did claim that Bill Clinton did not take bin Laden when offered by Sudan.

Well, that certainly lends to his credibility since we know this is fact.

[Judith Anne]

Not to my knowledge. He is independently wealthy through his own companies, born an American citizen, has many contacts in Pakistan, imho, he is patriotic and wants to help.

He tried to help the Clinton administration, but they more or less rejected his advice and information.

I think this: Monsoor Ijaz wants to see terrorism, which can envelope the world in a war, destroyed. I think he will do whatever he can to stop that, for personal reasons at least, out of patriotism at best.

Doesn't mean he's always right or has correct information. Just doing his part, and I'm okay with that.

[keats5]

Does anyone know Mansoor Ijaz's background? How did he get so connected to information sources? Was he in politics, media or what? I've always wondered.

[Judith Anne]

Alexander Haig was on, too. Is that the name we're looking for?

[philosofy123]

Clarke a terrorist and security expert for Reagan, Bush1, Clinton, and Bush2. That is more continuity than anuy other person in our government. It would be close minded to trash that guy. I also find Mansoor to be an expert on the Islamic world, but don't know how he gets his insider information.

[Preachin']

There certainly seems to be a precence for the behavior, since we know there is CIA video of bin Laden in Clinton's sight, doesn't there?

[philosofy123]

I finds most of his analysis very much on the money. there is another guy from NewsWeek called Fareed Zakaria, he also has good information.

[captbarney]

Author, Rowen Scarborough, "Rumsfeld's War", on Fox, BASHING Clark, whom he had interviewed for his book

[elli1]

Why he waited with saying this until Clarke broke the ranks?

Ijaz has been saying this for over two years--at least since January 2002.

[Just mythoughts]

This morning has been so packed with those who can expose Richard Clark, as a liar, crook, and seeking a "job" by helping JFKerry win an election, and making a dollar, via a book of fiction/lies.

Yes, Haig was on but it was not he that got mislabeled.

Thus far five that I remember have been on.

Condi Rice

Mansoor and Podhoretz, and now I don't remember which came on first.

Al Haig

Rowan Scarborough, Rumsfeld's War


I think the confusion came over Mansoor and Podhoretz.

NEVER FORGET


...I personally confirmed what MONSOOR IJAZ told the American People on the FoX News Channel the very day after the September 1, 2001 Attacks about the CLINTON White House refusing his 3 Offers he brokered with the Sudan during the 1990's to give us OSAMA bin LADEN on a Silver Platter.

...This confirmation came directly to me in person last June from the Sudanese Ambassador who represented the President of Sudan during MONSOOR IJAZ's 3 OSAMA Offer negotiations.

...This confirmation was affirmed a week later by the CLINTONS' own White House Political Advisor DICK MORRIS on 2 seperate Judicial Watch Report Radio Shows during my calls into him.


On this MONSOOR IJAZ, IMED IMBRAHIM MOHAMMED and DICK MORRIS all agree.


So WHY isn't the 911 Commission taking their testimony..?


NEVER FORGET
