I loathe them for their lazy scholarship on such an important event in this nation's history.

It's worse than lazy - it's deliberate deception, and a coordinated attack on the presidency.

[Spotsy]

Clarke is the alpha of megalomaniacs.

And a weird one to boot - Clarke told Leslie Stahl that on 9/11, he kept hearing in his head Marlon Brando's voice from Apocalypse Now, "The horror, the horror!"

Little bit of a drama queen, now aren't we?

I personally heard thousands of voices calling out to God. But, that's just me.

[cyncooper]

Um, when I said Clarke's credibility was shredded I meant it and contrary to what you say, I meant for all Americans to perceive.

I can see and hear the headlines, but I completely disagree with you that the message will not get out. It will and it already is.

[Darlin']

Yes, they are dancing on the graves and those foolish family members supporting this farce are their willing dupes.

[Peach]

You could be right. They are certainly salivating at the thought of having her testify publicly.

The public perception of her private testimony is damaging though and I do think she could handle them quite adequately.

I don't have strong opinions on this matter, however, as I trust the administration's judgement on this matter.

Reuters spin:

Anti-Terror Aide Says Bush Downplayed Threat

I sort of wish Condi could go in there and blast away. It's like we need another Oliver North.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Condi will show up in that... briar patch. Just a hunch.

Hannity is talking to a lady who said she actually worked in/with Sudan during the timeframe that OBL was offered to Clinton.

Hannity is wanting her to give him copies of the documentation she has. She says she has alot of documentation.

[I didn't catch her association, except that she was a consultant, I think she said, in Sudan.]

[CyberAnt]

Yeah, I can see that! Just because he's supposed to be an (R), doesn't mean a thing. Besides, his buddy-buddy relationship with Beers is very suspicious to me. I think the guy's bucking for a job in the "Kerry WH". Thankfully, for America's sake, that will NOT HAPPEN!!

[jwalsh07]

Yeah, I know but every once in a while I get sucked in. It's the fellow vet thing. Usually my wife just slaps me and I'm OK.

But don't get me wrong, I have voted for one democrat in my lifetime and will never do so again. And I'm grandpa who has raised his children to do the same. I'm doing my part. :-}

[Qwinn]

No doubt, the "real" story will be about how she got her hands on that letter, and the content will be immediately dismissed.

Call your local Dems (elected officials from dogcatcher on up) and tell them you are voting straight Republican in November due to the lies and politicization of 9-11 from their leadership.

It will send shivers up their spines. And it should.

[eureka!]

Did anyone just hear the lady on Hannity?!! She's said she's got 500 pages of documents she saved from the Sink Emperor's reign showing "Clark and Albright are liars" including one being a letter trying to hand OBL over to the 'Toon. She said she gave them to the Commission and was subjected to a cease and desist letter. Amazing, if for real. Could be a set up...

[pghkevin]

It's not a matter of morality, it is politics.

[Wait4Truth]

It is time for the Silent Majority to rise up! We faught for this man in 2000 - I went to street demonstrations during the recount fiasco to fight the leftists. We made ourselves heard and it made a difference. President Bush has worked his heart out trying to protect us and the RATS/media are attempting to completely destroy him. I believe that God will step in here at some point but God also says that God helps those that help themselves. The time for sitting around complaining about the RAT/media partisanship os over. It is time for action or we will deserve whatever we get. President Bush deserves our all, IMHO.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Good exchange between Gordon and Armitage, regarding getting support from many nations, especially Pakistan!

[Yaelle]

Did anybody HEAR that last caller to Sean Hannity's show????

She claimed to have been involved business-wise with the then ambassador to the Sudan and can prove, with a HUGE stack of documents (from which she was reading on air) that Clinton and his lackeys are lying. She has testified before the commission but her secret testimony did not make a dent.

I thought I was DREAMING; did I hear that? Sean asked to get copies of her docs off the air; she sounded very credible.

[BurbankKarl]

this just sticks in her craw?

Please Gore Lick, that is nasty sounding?

[Republican Red]

The truth WILL GET TO THE PEOPLE

My only reason for depression today is that I believe the American people are rather stupid (or is that stupid because of Rather?). I think the average person believes nightly newscasts as the truth. I believe they think anything seen in print is the truth. It's an uphill battle but I'm up for the fight.

Anyone know why Drudge took down his pittance of a link to the Fox tape story? Big disappointment with Drudge today. American Idol headline over Fox Tapes. You find out who your friends are on days like this.

[eureka!]

I just heard her. See my post below yours....
