[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Now they're on the urban legend about the Saudis leaving the country where no other planes were flying. What BS.

[Indy Pendance]

You mean "Peaceful Tomorrows" who are funded by the Heinz foundation....

[~Vor~]

"CLARK will be ON EVERY news show"

Clark will be Larry King's "guest" tonight at 9:00 eastern.

[prairiebreeze]

The RNC can't run a church social....

[Peach]

Now we're discussing how we let OBL's family and Saudi citizens fly out of the country, even though other planes were grounded.

Clarke refused to approve the request to let them fly out of the country and recommended to the FBI that they look at the names on the passenger manifests and that they approve it.

Clarke asked someone in the FBI to deal with this issue.

The FBI approved the flight.

Hint to Clarke: America does not hold hostages.

[Bahbah]

"He refused to approve the request of course..."
It's all the fault of the FBI that these Saudis got out of the country.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I wish Shep Smith would just take the day off. His constant interuptions force me to swith to the Clintonista News Network. It's very distracting.

[texasbluebell]

It's its, not it's! (I hate when I do that.)

[MEG33]

Now he is attacking the Bin Laden family evacuation.

[Ramcat]

"Who's applauding? The bloodlusting greedy victims, paid off by the DNC of course."

Thanks for the response. I can't watch this stuff. (Poor anger control)

[Puddleglum]

Man, the Dems do hate Condi, don't they? She's just too "uppity" for their plantation, I guess.

[mombonn]

Says he refused, routed it to FBI for approval. Spoke with Dale Watson #2 in FBI. FBI approved flight. What degree of review did of names on flight, or how many were on flight.

Asked is FBI has second thoughts on any they allowed to leave.

Says none were interviewed in this country.

[PISANO]

Clarke to be on LKL tonight at 9:00 EST

We know that will be a lovefest, more slamming of our President and more adulation for X42. Somehow this all makes just so much sense.....

[BureaucratusMaximus]

But, we continue to win with the truth and with action.

Thats fine if the world you lived in only consisted of Freepers...it doesn't. It would also help if the majority of Republicans had the same attitude of winning with the truth and the truth in action; instead of forcing us to pull the lever for the official with the best chance to win. It would also help if the majority of Republicans(those who actually believe in the truth and the truth in action) would get a spine, stick to their guns and start representing US.

[pitinkie]

Yup he asks the FBI to interview but it wasnt done. He would save us all.

[Howlin]

OMG.......is he now claiming that on 9-11, he, too, planned the flight out of the country for the bin Ladens?

Wouldn't it just be easier for him to tell us what he DIDN'T do?

He claims HE told the president not to come back to the White House; he claims that he is the one that ordered the shoot downs; now he ordered this?

Well, why DO we need the rest of the White House staff.

[CedarDave]

There are members of the 911 families there. Members of the group that criticized the ads..

The Peaceful Tomorrows group funded by the Tides Foundation which is funded by Ms. Heinz-Kerry.

[StriperSniper]

Clarke - "That's what I've been told."

[Patriot1998]

Don't you feel good knowing you have folks like this charge in the Govt. Can you sleep better now?

[Darlin']

"He's avoiding the accusation"

Well, of course, he isn't physically "equiped" to face the accusation.
