WASHINGTON

"My question is why would someone come out and make the comments that have been made this past week, knowing full well there is videotape contradicting those comments? I guess the answer is the hallmark answer to everything "Democratic" -- ARROGANCE."

Because this is someone still living in a pre-internet world, which is odd since his supposed specialty was cyber security. Another person who has not grasped the ability of the net to immediately refute lies that used to go unchallenged by the old media.

Berger needs to be prosecuted for Perjury. Imagine that coming from the Klinton Admin.

[alancarp]

Exactly - sounds like a guy whining about not being able to sit at the "Adults Table" for Thanksgiving.

[roses of sharon]

And, contact the 9/11 Commission, this is nothing more that a show-trial against President Bush.

Those under oath are being asked to give answers to a "book", which they have not read, and that has not been proved to be accurate.

This is a coordinated smear of the President, his administration, and his family.

And goes along quite well, with the theories that Bush and his father killed soldiers for money, revenge, and let Americans die on 9/11.

[Pippin]

;O)

Now questioning from Sen. Slade Gordon (R)

[JohnGalt]

Professor Kantorek;

W_M can fight his own battles, that is what makes him different from you.

[ravingnutter]

Typically, the art of subtlety would be to let that come out during Congressional testimony.

Oh and just how would the commission come across this conflicting interview if Jim Angle had not dug it up and publicized it? Subtlety my butt...get over yourself, you haven't got a clue. What a maroon...

[GOPrincess]

Is there a separate live thread for Clarke's testimony? I'm trying to do about five things at once here (including a child working on phonics at my feet!) and appreciate if anyone has a link to another thread if it's going.

Thanks!

Information for the dorm friends PING!

[justshutupandtakeit]

His screen name indicates he is a Randite thus, should lean toward Libertarianism. But to expect any rational philosophy out of that background is fruitless.

[alancarp]

Clarke: The order creating my position in 1998 gave me all the responsibility, but none of the authority.

Godon now asking about his role in Somalia screw-up.

[js1138]

There's a live hearing thread.

[MEG33]

I had all the responsibility without the authority to act on it,Clarke says of his job even under Clinton.

[justshutupandtakeit]

He is willing to share his ignorance on many matters.

[alancarp]

Gordon: In Aug 1998, what did you recommend?

Clarke: a rolling series of attacks in Afghanistan... they rebuild, we re-destroy.

[GOPrincess]

"Because this is someone still living in a pre-internet world, which is odd since his supposed specialty was cyber security. Another person who has not grasped the ability of the net to immediately refute lies that used to go unchallenged by the old media."

Great point. At SOME point the combination of the New Media ('Net, blogs, talk radio, Fox, etc.) is going to have the effect of ending the liberal left's and mainstream media's ability to lie and spin with impunity...today is one more step.

[expatpat]

Yes, the Demos may regret they insisted on this. He came back later criticizing the Clinton team again. The only Demo kool-aid type I've noticed is Jamie Gorlick.

[smiley]

You are absolutely on point and if these Republican politicians don't come forward NOW as a group and condemn these left-wing democrat practices, I'm going to scream!

[GOPrincess]

Thanks for letting me know re the live hearing thread.
