you misunderstand.
he worked for Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton and W right? (i may be wrong)
CNN claimes (not that they haven't lied before) that he is still a registered repub and that he voted for W in 2000. i'm just trying to get my facts straight here and figure this guy out

I repeat: did you read the original thread wherein it was mentioned that on 60 Minutes Clarke claimed "it is "outrageous" that W is running for re-election on the basis of strong leadership on national security, whereas he in fact did a poor job."?
I repeat: do you really think that anyone who makes a statement like that could possibly be, as you surmise, a "Bush supporter"?
I would encourage you at this point to read more and post less. This will be my last response to you for the time being.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
read that.
doesn't mean he didnt' support him in 2000. i am looking for facts (REAL FACTS) not opinions on this guy.
this is too important to me. if he has an agenda, i want to expose it. so far i haven't read much about him. God forbid, if he is right, i want to know that too.

If you're serious, then read Post #52. And read Condoleeza Rice's article in this morning's Washington Post. Your mind will be put at ease.

I think that is standard practice whenever someone wants to enhance their credibility in a public forum like that. Don't believe a word of it.
I don't know if he voted for Bush or not -- but he's telling people he did in order to make himself more credible.

Clarke was a civil service employee, thus continuously employeed during various adm. and not easily fired. Clinton had Promoted him; Bush Demoted him; Clarke tried to get a job w/Homeland Security but did NOT get it. Those facts + his now being a co-teacher w/Kerry advisor certainly make him less than creditable about the Bush adm. Gen. Alex Haig said today on Fox that it was evident that Clarke is "sucking up" for a JOB w/future Kerry adm.

It was very sensible, given that Iraq hid the terrorist behind the first WTC bombing, to ask Clarke to make SURE Iraq wasn't behind 9/11.
Also, in the book The New Jackals by Simon Reeve, it was noted that Iraq went on its highest state of alert with its military two weeks prior to 9/11 and Saddam sent his family into his most secure bunker where Saddam himself went and didn't emerge until mid-October.

Condi said this morning that Clarke was NOT invited to the first(post 9/11) meeting at Camp David, and was against the creation of the Dept.of Homeland Security. He wanted to be the top guy in counter terrorism, but he was demoted. The way of dealing with terrorism in the Clinton WH, had not been effective, and the Bush admin was taking a different path.
You are correct that Clarke worked during the Reagan, Bush(41) and Clinton WH's. And maybe he did indeed support GW in 2000. That doesn't change the fact that he was demoted after the election, and has not spoken up before, when he was interviewed by Woodward, and Minter for their books.
It looks like he has an agenda, namely to cover his butt, and to sell his new book. We'll soon know.

Clarke was a 30 year veteran but he has a book to sell and is friendly with Richard Baer,a Kerry supporter,who may be in a Kerry cabinet if the very worst possible outcome happens Bite your tongue (as my dear departed grandmother used to say) - we can't allow that outcome to happen.

"Ann Compton reported live (from the White House) on the 7AM ABC radio news and she flubbed her lines." Our morning radio guy alluded to this also but didn't elaborate. Now I'm really curious about what she said. She definitely has a liberal ax to grind.

Excellent info Peach. Probably ought to let Rush and Hannity know so as to further skewer them with their own lies.

Wesley Clark, living proof of the fact that the West Point's system is faulty when a bird brain can graduate at the head of his class. Just goes to show what an Arkansas education can do for you.

I think the Dems' focus groups are perhaps lying to their benefactors - appeasing them for cigarettes and (taxpayer) $$$.
Lucky for us. This was a really bad idea to claim Clinton/Clarke were tough on terrorists, lol!
Good thread - passionate, informative. Thanks!

Thanks for the recap. I actually tuned in to Today at one point to see if Al Qaeti Couric was wearing black but she wasn't on at that moment. I quickly returned to Fox.
