""Frankly," he said, "I find it outrageous that the president is running for re-election on the grounds that he's done such great things about terrorism. He ignored it. He ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we could have done something to stop 9/11. Maybe. We'll never know."
Clarke went on to say, "I think he's done a terrible job on the war against terrorism."
I don't think Novak would have described Clarke as "not a political gunslinger" because he clearly is just that.
Clarke is also unstable and downright nuts and therefore not a reliable source. LOL
But we do, Mr. Clarke, what you and Bill Clinton did not do, don't we?
