[CedarDave]

Good God almighty!! ABC news at the top of the hour: Clarke testified that under Clinton there was no higher priority than fighting terrorism. Not so under Bush.

[Howlin]

CLARKE: "I had a plan when I got here and they didn't like it, so I'm trashing them."

[BigSkyFreeper]

His credibility is crumbling. They'll need a huge shop broom and shovel to sweep him up after his testimony concludes.

[MamaLucci]

Do you think that Richard Armitage will touch any of this?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

He already has been payed off.

This guy has been the source for many of the Demonic Rats on Bush since Bush took office!

[Howlin]

See what I mean.

Yes, the questioner is saying you not only testified here but you also testified before this other committee...why in all these hours didn't you express these very grave concerns until your book came out? (Paraphrase of questioner's point.)

[Toespi]

So, just what the dems have been sayin for months, the war on AlQaeda was compromised because of Bush's obsession with Iraq.

[Peach]

Didn't like the non answer and don't like the administration not pressing him to answer.

[Jewels1091]

Rush's breaks are long because he gets a percentage of the commercial revenues.

[mass55th]

Fred Fielding is taking him to task as well, especially on the fact that he failed to express his concerns about the Bush Administration to the Congressional investigators he met with for six hours.

[Bahbah]

You do a great job.

[Just mythoughts]

What is plain for all to see and what this cry baby cannot say is that I did not get that Deputy's position under HOmeland Security so I wrote a book and am getting even.

[Wphile]

I just heard the same drivel from ABC news on the radio. I'm off to play tennis now. Something tells me I'm going to be hitting the ball really, really hard!!

[Bigg Red]

Excellent freepin', kristinn.

Thanks for the ping, nutmeg.

[hobbes1]

Fielding. The consummate Republican insider whose name you never hear.

[Howlin]

So, just what the dems have been sayin for months, the war on AlQaeda was compromised because of Bush's obsession with Iraq.

And Rand Beers.

And Paul O'Neill.

And Joe Wilson.

[Peach]

I don't know.

Is this the last day of public testimony?

[mass55th]

I know who's going to play Clarke in the movie: Steve Martin.
