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.

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.
