"If President Bush had followed every last letter of Richard Clarke's recommendations starting Inauguration Day, it still would not have prevented 9/11," the Wall Street Journal says.

"How do we know this? Richard Clarke says so," the newspaper said in an editorial.

South Dakota Indian activist Tim Giago plans to run for a U.S. Senate seat as an independent,

I may have to send Tim a campaign contribution.

"Mr. Gorton: 'Assuming that the recommendations that you made [were implemented] on January 25 of 2001 ..., is there the remotest chance that it would have prevented 9/11?

"Mr. Clarke: 'No.'"

Gorton is on Fox now emphasizing this point.

"But when pressed on that point under oath, Mr. Clarke was forced to concede that the impression he'd created, the very reason anyone was paying any attention to him, was false. As long as Mr. Clarke is in the apology business, can we have one for wasting a week of the administration's precious antiterror time?"

We the American people got to see first hand the "method of operation" of this "The Commission" a political tool by the liars and crooks of that unholy liberal party.

Woodward's book is next, followed by "Joe Wilson's" book, (maybe it was Clarke that sent "JOE" to Africa....), then the ultimate will be slick's book.

Clinton's book might actually help us. You know it will be all about Clinton (because everything's all about Clinton, dontcha know), and it will distract people from whatever message Kerry's trying to get out. Not a sure thing, but it could actually be good for us.

I doubt that much of this book is even written, probably won't be until this "The Commission" writes their report.

The "joker" in this deck of cards they are playing is JFKerry, and how well his handlers can contain him. One does have to wonder if "JFKerry" knows that his political status is out of his hands.

Given that Thune actually won the race last time and would be a senator but for the election fraud that occurred on the 2 biggest reservations in the state, if this 3rd party candidate has any following among the tribes, then Daschle is done for.

Apart from the positive effect on our nation, it would also be wonderful just to watch the gnashing of 'liberal' teeth! Boy, wouldn't they be REALLY angry then!
