Frontline / PBS ^ | March 20, 2003 | Richard A. Clarke

[Howlin]

This guy is the lying man's Forrest Gump.

[MEG33]

I can't understand "What"?

[Howlin]

Is this the John O'Neill that was the security guy for the WTC?

[MEG33]

Yes.

[dalebert]

How can he say its not an intel failure when thats exactly what it was. No one expected it. Why should they worry about aviation security after the glowing Gore report.

[OldFriend]

Perhaps Clark meant that the Clinton administration's top priority was aspirin factories, proving their commitment to fighting terror!

"Perhaps Clark meant that the Clinton administration's top priority was aspirin factories, proving their commitment to fighting terror."

Someone needs to point out that it was Clarke's own intel that labeled Al-Shifa not only as a VX plant, but it was he who also tied this plant to OBL (as an investor) and Iraq. For a guy who says there was no connection between Saddam and terrorism, it was he who made this very connection in 1998.

[OldFriend]

Poor guy, he's so deluded. Perhaps he ought to seek psychiatic help sooner rather than later.

[Ben Hecks]

"I couldn't believe these idiots applauded after Bob Kerrey had the nerve to chastize Foxnews for releasing a tape of Clarke's own words that run contrary to his testimony. If this doesn't show the partisanship of this commission (and crowd), than nothing will."

Stuffing the hearing room with left-wingers is an indication that this was all great theatre. C-SPAN replayed Kerry's VVAW testimony the other day and this is just a replay. We need to face it, the Commies have learned how to stage these things, get the actors in place and make sure the right people in the media pound it into the minds of the uninformed masses.
