Clarke, eyes wide shut...

Sunday, March 21, 2004 1:45 p.m. EST Kerry Connection 'Discredits' Terror Czar Clarke, Say Critics Former Clinton administration terrorism czar Richard Clarke, who has been portrayed in dozens of media accounts as a nonpartisan critic of the Bush White House's terrorism policies, faces new questions about his credibility after a report surfaced on Sunday suggesting he has close ties to the presidential campaign of Sen. John Kerry. "One of [Clarke's] very close friends and colleagues for years - a man whom he taught a class with at Harvard, Rand Beers - is one of the top foreign policy advisers to Sen. Kerry," reported ABC White House correspondent Terry Moran. Moran told ABC's "This Week" that Clarke's close relationship with the Kerry aide "discredited" him in the eyes of critics, with the White House maintaining that "this is essentially a Democrat making these arguments" that Bush dropped the ball in the war on terrorism. Of Clarke's much-ballyhooed new book, "Against All Enemies," where the security expert charges that President Bush has done "a terrible job" fighting the war on terrorism, Moran noted that "[Republicans] say that this book is an audition for a place in the next Democratic administration." Beers and Clarke both resigned from the White House within a month of each other last year, shortly before the Iraq war started in March. When Beers made a public show of joining Kerry's campaign, it set off political smoke alarms in Washington. "I can't think of a single example in the last 30 years of a person who has done something so extreme," Paul C. Light, a scholar with the Brookings Institution, told The New Yorker magazine's Jane Mayer. "He's not just declaring that he's a Democrat," Light said. "He's declaring that he's a Kerry Democrat, and the way he wants to make a difference in the world is to get his former boss out of office." While Beers began publicly criticizing the Iraq war almost immediately, Clarke held his fire for a few months. But by last November it was clear he and Beers were on the same page. "Fighting Iraq had little to do with fighting the war on terrorism, until we made it [so]," Clarke proclaimed to interviewers. He was even critical when reacting to the news of the capture of Saddam Hussein, telling ABC News, "I don't think it's going to have a near-term positive effect on security. ... In the short term, we may have actually a worse problem." Reprinted from NewsMax.com

With the terrorists falling all over themselves in a mad dash to publicly endorse their man, he's flip-flopping on wanting those phantom foreign endorsements, after all.

t appears that we now have sort of a fusion issue.

LOL.
Thanks for this thread. I find it uplifting. It reminds me how very, very lucky we are that the Clintons are out of the White House.
Maybe she would have preferred to keep a doctor...
Clinton's Real Father Discovered in Hope, Arkansas
My name is Tom Wakefield. Most years I attend the Wakefield family reunion in Hope Arkansas, birthplace of Bill Clinton. Many of my relatives are lifelong residents of Hope. I have heard it more than once, in casual conversation at these reunions, that the biological father of Bill Clinton is a doctor in town."Everybody knows it" and "Bill Clinton looks just like him" are common statements made by my relatives. They speak of this in a way that it is just common knowledge around Hope. I do not know the name of the doctor, and I do not know if he is active or retired. (I doubt that he would still be active.)

Wipe it out? Incipient?
Terrorism isn't just Al Quaeda, and it didn't start on 9-11
Capturing or Killing Bin Laden won't stop it either.
This war is ongoing and there will be new figures emerging that we have to deal with.
No doubt clinton avoided it because it was too risky and ththere was no upside for him personally.
The “Peace Talks” were little more than a photo-opt for Bill Clinton as he held priminister Barak and Arafat at Camp David hostage. The sham didn’t work – all smoke and mirrors for more US $$s – Clinton the peace maker – NOT!
Does anyone recall what this actually cost the United States in tax dollars for Arafat-the-terrorist?

Kerry seldom speaks out on the campaign trail about the importance of fighting terrorism, and polls shows it's an issue on which Bush appears to have an advantage. "We are determined to make this campaign about real issues facing Americans, like making health care affordable, improving education and getting our economy back on track," Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill said.... BRIAN BLOMQUIST "I voted for a process by which war would be the last resort." John Kerry Even if we allow for his characteristic flatulence and opportunism, John Kerry's demagogically tortured parsing of President George W. Bush's war-as-the-last-resort pledge and the fact that Kerry's list of the "real issues facing Americans" does not include the one issue, namely terrorism, that renders all other issues moot -- (health care, education and money have very limited utility to the dead)-- reveal a fundamental--and fatal--misunderstanding of America's situation. When terrorists declare war on you…and then proceed to kill you… you are, perforce, at war. At that point, you really have only one decision to make: Do you fight the terrorists… or do you surrender? Contrary to clinton/leftist-media spin, this war waged against America by the terrorists did not begin on September 11, 2001. The terrorists--bin Laden--had declared war on America repeatedly, had killed Americans repeatedly, throughout the clinton years. Remarkably, the same terrorists hit the same WTC building in 1993, and clinton, 15 minutes away from the devastation, didn't even bother to visit the site, preferring instead to add his old bromides on the economy to the pollution along the Jersey Turnpike. (Ironically, the legacy clinton would desperately, futilely seek throughout his life was right under his nose on that day in 1993; but he was too self-absorbed--too stupid, some would say--to see it.) And as for the September 11 attacks, they were planned in May 1998, on the clintons' watch, in the Khalden Camp in southeastern Afghanistan. The terrorists declared war on America on the clintons watch and the clintons surrendered... Democrats, from the clintons to Kerry, reflexively choose "surrender"...
Mia T, 2.24.04 President Bush chooses '"fight." BUSH: "I will not wait on events, while dangers gather."
Sending Americans into battle is the most profound decision a President can make. The technologies of war have changed; the risks and suffering of war have not. For the brave Americans who bear the risk, no victory is free from sorrow. This nation fights reluctantly, because we know the cost and we dread the days of mourning that always come.

Kerry hits out at Bush over Iraq

ohn Kerry says the war on terror is less about military might than about law enforcement.
This should not surprise us. Kerry's dangerously flawed thinking on terrorism is perfectly consistent with his dangerously soporific bombast: Both are anachronistic, early 20th-century artifacts.

neocommunist political movement, a tipsy-topsy, infantile perversion of the Marxist-Leninist model, global in scope, beginning in the post-cold-war, unipolar 1990s, led by the '60s neoliberal baby-boomer "intelligentsia," that seeks power without responsibility, i.e., that seeks to dilute American power by concentrating power in said '60s neoliberals while yielding America's sovereignty to the United Nations, i.e., while surrendering to the terrorists, as it continues the traditional '60s neoliberal feint, namely: (1) concern for social justice, (2) distain for bureaucracy, and (3) the championing of entrepreneurship for the great unwashed.
