Anyone catching a whiff of desperation??

Forked tongues are notoriously stinky.

If Clarke were truly heroic, would he have endangered the American public by lying to them?

• On the one hand...
  Clarke portrays himself as a hero fighting the "do-nothing" Bush administration, bravely trying to save the lives of his fellow Americans.

• On the other hand
  Clarke portrays himself as a wimp, who is unwilling to level with those same Americans he said he wished to protect.

  When a pre-9/11 tape was produced on which Clarke told reporters that the Bush Administration was intensifying its fight against al Qaeda, Clarke tried to dismiss it, by saying that it was his job to lie for the administration.

Clarke reminds me of Kerry.

Kerry supposedly did not like killing the Vietnamese.
But
Kerry was unwilling to stop killing the Vietnamese ("committing war crimes") until he could use his highly visible protestations as a steppingstone to his goal of becoming President.

I think we can all see the "do-nothing" Bush Administration is anything but do-nothing.

It was Clinton that did nothing. He was way to busy entertaining himself and selling out America. He just took up where Jimmah left off.

Someone on the 9/11 thread yesterday warned that if Condi took her gloves off, this guy would be history. How prophetic.
