If you are anywhere this book this weekend pick it up and read just a page. Its almost like someone from the Onion had written it.

Brilliant piece. Maybe there is hope for the world.

As I briefed Rice on al-Qa'eda, her facial expression

Another, very witty Freeper (whose name I don't recall) said that her facial expression was actually expressing, "Hey, did I demote this guy FAR enough?"

This is the best synopsis of Richard Clarke I have seen . Clarke is a back biter from the word go.

Instead, all the Islamists who went to Afghanistan in the 1990s graduated from Camp
Osama and were dispersed throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and North America,
where they lurk to this day. That's the Clarke-Clinton legacy. And, if it were mine,
I wouldn't be going around boasting about it.

Amen!

You know if Condi was a Democrat in a Democrat Administration, Jesse Jackson would be calling Dick Clarke a disgruntled racist who couldn't and wouldn't work for a Black Woman! And a Black Woman who demoted him at that!
...and the media would follow Jessie's lead and attack Clark's vendetta against a fine Black Woman!

But, that's just if Condi was a Democrat.

Great article.

"every month or so from taking a wild ride on defective vehicles for their crazy scheme"

Democrats would do well to realize that "The X-Files" was *not* a reality show.

Enough with the looney tinfoil hat conspiracies.

fyi

As for Clarke's beef with Bush, that's simple. For eight years, he had pottered away on the terrorism brief undisturbed. The new President took it away from him and adopted the strategy outlined by Condoleezza Rice in that Detroit radio interview, months before the self-regarding Mr Clarke claims he brought her up to speed on who bin Laden was: "We really need a stronger policy of holding the states accountable that support him," Dr Rice told WJR. "Terrorists who are just operating out there without basis and without state support are a lot less dangerous than ones that find safe haven, as bin Laden does sometimes in places like Afghanistan or Sudan."

Steyn on Clarke. Another winner.

Mark Steyn ~ Bump!

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!

~~ Bush/Cheney 2004 ~~

[Kirkwood]

Give Mr. Steyn a Pulitzer!

[Mr. Mojo]

BTTT

Best article yet about (the perjurer) Clarke.

[snooker]

That pretty well nails it shut.

I smell smoke.

Leave it to Mark Steyn to write the most insightful article about Richard Clarke!

By the way, on tonight's FNC "News Watch" program Jane Whatsherface said that the Bush administration has had a copy of Clarke's book since NOVEMBER! She went on, of course, to criticize them for not handling his testimony more effectively. This is the first I've heard this? Anyone know the veracity of her statement?

[Imal]

Richard Clarke has done yeoman's duty in opening up terrorism as a top campaign issue, which is something the Democrats desperately wish to avoid and have said so repeatedly in public.

From now on, terrorism is a legitimate issue for Bush to discuss, because Clarke threw down the gauntlet and must be answered. No one can expect the Bush administration to remain silent in the face of such brazen slander, not even the Democrats.

It leaves me to wonder who Richard Clarke is really working for, and why.

[WarrenC]

Thanks Pokey. I was really looking forward to reading Steyn on the subject of Richard Clarke. He didn't disappoint.

[Eva]

I love this guy. Someone should put him on tv, or radio.

[ladyinred]

You'll have to do better than that, Osama! So he did. And now the same people who claim Bush had no right to be "pre-emptive" about Iraq insist he should have been about September 11.

Great line. This article pretty much says it all!
