Ten Years Later (Incredibly long future-terrorism article by Richard Clarke)

Richard A. Clarke ^ | January/February, 2005 | The Atlantic Monthly

Well, at least he isn't still focused on cyber terrorism as he was prior to 9/11...

With all due respect to you, what's the point of posting the dribblings of this self-possessed ego-maniac? He's now on the lecture circuit, having taken his Bush-bashing act on the road. Why anyone should listen to this guy, who was largely out of the loop in regard to US anti-terrorism efforts by 9-11, is beyond me.

Colonel David Hackworth is the only one who ever came close with a WW3 scenario in an article in FHM magazine. He foresaw an Al Queda in 2001 (this was in 1998) in New York. The target was one of the bridges during the New York Marathon being hit by a huge bomb when it was full of runners with about 3000 to 4000 dead. He had a retalitory strike against Afghanistan and the war spreading to Iraq.

Hack just needs to fade away like a good "Old Soldier"!

I went to all this trouble just in order to annoy you.

OK?

Next dunder-headed question!

He's trolling for cyber-terror gay dates. Clarke is a self-serving, self-srving gay terror-dude, IMHO.

Commentary on the article.

[My2Cents]

You didn't annoy me. I'm just wondering why you bother giving this dickweed any publicity.

It had not been hard for the terrorists to buy all their guns legally, in six different states across the Midwest. A year earlier Congress had failed to reauthorize the assault-weapons ban. Attorney General John Ashcroft had announced a proposal, on July 6, 2001, to have the FBI destroy records of weapons sales and background checks the day after the gun dealer had the sale approved. This meant that if a gun buyer subsequently turned up on the new Integrated Watch List, or was discovered by law-enforcement officials to be a felon or a suspected terrorist, when government authorities tried to investigate the sale, the record of the purchase would already be on the way to the shredder.

So, the author is a gun grabber who places no value in the possibility of an armed populace. No CCWs here to save the day - except for some off-duty cops.

What a load of steaming bunk.

This would have been one time where I'd have been glad to see you excerpt the article.

If I were president Mecca/Medina/Qom would have been nuked midway through this science fiction story.

If Richard Clarke wrote it, you can be sure of the following;

- Everything is George Bush's fault.
- George Bush has not done one single correct thing since he stole the election in 2000.
- Any policy that George Bush or his Cabinet supports is wrong,
- George Bush and his people are total idiots and if it weren't for the tireless, thankless work performed by me, Richard Clarke, the only person in the whole world who knows anything about al Qaeda and terrorism, this country would be smoking crater by now. So bow down to me.

Too bad the media still does.

It's essential to know what is being blabbered out there, even if it makes you puke.

You can always take the approach to just look at it (or read it) and say to yourself, "Make my day, punk", or, if you prefer, "Dick makes me look like a political astrophysicist."

[RegT]

Richard Clarke is one of several people who should have been purged after the GOP took control of the executive branch. Unfortunately, everyone at the time was obsessed with the 'new tone' and have dearly paid for it since.

This is a transcript if the Tenth Anniversary 9/11 Lecture Sunday, September 11, 2011

LOL Richard Clark has to fantasize that anyone will remember who he is or want to hear from him in 2011.
