We should all write letters to the editor or call talk shows about this story - the mainstream media sure won't tell the public (unless it's on page 80).

LOL, don't you mean page Z80

Can he be held in contempt for lying to the commission?

Ooops--didn't mean to post that twice--finger slipped :)

But she added that Clarke, in reversing himself and accepting responsibility for approving the flights to Saudi Arabia, has made it impossible for the Democrats to use the issue against President Bush.

Not so. The reversal will not be reported by any mainstream media and the Rats will simply lie and proceed as if nothing has changed. If they repeat a lie often enough...

This has been their strategy all throughout 2004 thusfar.

Isn't this one of the key things in Michael Moore's tripe?

His movie is already discredited BEFORE coming out, unlike Bowling for Columbine which it took until AFTER to be discredited...

He was sworn in when he lie through his teeth for his democrat bosses ... so yes, he IS in contempt but no more contemtible than CatBoxlicker and Schoegoo.

..now that Bush critic Richard Clarke has contradicted one of his own key statements.

It turns out that President Bush and other top members of his administration had nothing to do with the decision to let members of Osama bin Laden's family depart the United States in the days immediately after 9/11, despite the suggestions of Democratic Senators Barbara Boxer of California and Charles Schumer of New York.

It'll be fun to see the dimocRatic spin on this one although, in all probability, the silence will be deafening from the media.

The libs pay no attention to the facts -- only to the myths of their fevered followers. "We don't need no stinkin' facts" is their mantra, so this will make no difference to them.

Schumer and Boxer were unavailable for comment on Friday.

Naturally, they have to come up with a good excuse. If any of these Dems ever apologized for wrong information, I'd faint.

"don't you mean page Z80"

That is funny!!

[Sun]

Probably not. He's a liberal, so they get excused.

(But I sure hope he gets held in contempt.)

Yeh, but we never see the Pubbies pursue these 'events' and anything about them. The two different memo-gates from Senate--muted.

Too bad the Pubbies don't have the cajones to get involved in these fights.

Clarke committed perjury before the 9-11 Commission. Wanna take bets on what comes of that? I'd bet zero, nada, nothing.

[Sun]

I hope talk radio makes a big deal out of this. Otherwise, the public may never know about it.

"the mainstream media sure won't tell the public (unless it's on page 80)."

And even when the Dems know the truth; they will continue the same rant because it works for them. The truth of any of this, is irrelevant to the Demrat campaign spin.

That said. . .it is good to have the truth out there; to be used by the Repubs for counter attack; but why did the Repub have to wait for Clarke to clear this up. President Bush knew; what he did not do; so why didn't they just challenge the lie when the cameras and the microphones were in front of them.

[PGalt]

WOW! Very interesting. A liar is a criminal for he steals our time of life. Liars are anti-freedom.

"Clarke committed perjury before the 9-11 Commission. Wanna take bets on what comes of that? I'd bet zero, nada, nothing."

If perjury is too much too expect; do you think we can count on some Repub just asking Clarke why he lied. . .and demanding an answer?
