Bad news for Clarke, but I doubt most people will ever hear about this.

F_S, is this what you were talking about?

I find Powerlineblog worthy of visiting every morning.

Agree, not many will hear of it. But as the article says, it discourages the Rats attacking her by using his revisionist statements in the confirmation hearings.

BTW, good grab!

Selected excerpts from your excellent post.

The recommendation of that review was that we split the counterterrorism portfolio from the cyberterrorism portfolio. That was agreed by May in the principals committee, and I asked to be assigned to the cybersecurity portfolio, since I had done counterterrorism for 10 years.

Now, that national security directive on the eliminatin of al Qa'ida was approved by the principals on September 4th and was on its way to the President's desk on 9/11.

The biggest problem, Clarke argues, is that over a period of decades, the CIA was beaten up on so repeatedly by Congress over failed operations that the agency became too risk averse ever to act.

But I am sure that these points will never see the light of day after 01/20/05.

"But I am sure that these points will never see the light of day after 01/20/05."

Well, let's be sure to tune in to Peter Jennings tonight just in case he leads with this.

AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Sorry, I tried to keep a straight face, couldn't pull it off.

MIDI - WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

You are nuts...yes, it's true
For your big book deal...you had to come through
It's evident...for RATS you whore
You tried to hide the fact that you're in bed with Gore

Shameless, shameless, lying scum

You are a real Dick Clarke
A cockroach who's come out of the dark
You are a Dick Clarke...you are a Dick Clarke
There's no promotion so being a Dick Clarke...was your plan

Incompetence...no advance
You threw a tantrum...and pulled down your pants
You held your breath...what more to do
Though we're at war, your country you would gladly screw

Shameless, shameless, lying scum

You are a real Dick Clarke
A cockroach who's come out of the dark
You are a Dick Clarke...you are a Dick Clarke
There's no promotion so being a Dick Clarke...was your plan

Site Meter Clarke never did something that he later claimed he did - I'm shocked. I'm shocked. I'm outraged. Note my shock. Note my outrage. I'm just shocked.

I predict the dummies will use it...there's still enough
knuckleheads out there to believe it. And once again be
thumped by the truth

Thank you sir, for the comment and for your service!

You may enjoy this joke. I saw it recently, don't remember where so forgive me for not crediting the originator:

Last week a Marine stationed at the perimeter of the White House was approached by an elderly man. "I'd like to see President Kerry" he said.

"Sir, Senator Kerry is not President. He lost the election" the Marine told him.

The old man thanked him and walked off.

The very next day the man walked to the Marine again. "I'd like to see President Kerry" he said.

Once again the Marine politely informed him "Sir, Senator Kerry did not win the election, he is not the President" and again the old man thanked him and walked away.

The following day the Marine saw the man approaching him and couldn't believe it when the man once again said "I'd like to see President Kerry."

With patience and respect he said "Sir, I believe I have already told you twice that Senator Kerry did not win the election and he is not the President."

"I know" said the old man "I just like hearing you say it.

The Marine snapped to attention and smiled "See you tomorrow Sir!"

Bad news for Clarke, but I doubt most people will ever hear about this.

The House and Senate know about this, and they know that this testimony is now public. The result is that the Democrats are handcuffed on how they can lie, or at least, lie brazenly when they begin their inquisition of Bush's new cabinet nominees.

I think "brazenly" is the key word there.

Hi, do you still live close enough to drive should President and Mrs. Bush stop here on the way to DC once again?

Peter Jennings will lead with the Clarke quote.

While explaining the dangers of Al Queda she had a blank look on her face.

Have you ever noticed that when they have something good to say about our military, president etc. they always talk in a low key.

When they have something so called good to say about Clinton/Kerry they always escalate the tone of their voice?

It's related, but I am referring the amount of coffee spilled in the Kremlin.

We knew this guy was a freaking liar, and now the proof is out there. But, as stated, will people see it? Will 60 minutes do a expose on it? HAH!

Yep, still in Hobbs. However, I'm working on going to DC this time to see him.
