Clinton's Indignant Defense, "Riddled with Errors" according to former Advisor.

National Review ^ | 2004 | Laurie Mylroie

[Gail Wynand]

Laurie Mylroie, a noted author and middle east expert as well as 1992 Clinton campaign advisor on Iraq, evaluated the Richard Clarke book which President Clinton repeatedly and heatedly based his defense of his terror record to Chris Wallace on Fox News. Ms. Mylroie, described the Clarke book as "riddled with errors" and statues further that, "Clarke's book, Against All Enemies is, essentially, an attempt to blame the Bush administration for 9/11, while exonerating Clinton (and therefore Clarke). The reality is quite the reverse." Ms. Mylroie contends that Clarke's story "systematically distorts" key information, and she explains the central failing of the Clinton terror policy was its emphasis on treating terror incidents as subject for criminal prosecution rather than foreign policy matters, effectively denying intelligence agencies access to key evidence and information.

Clinton on the other hand repeatedly told Fox News that " And all I’d say anybody who wonders whether we did wrong or right. Anybody who wants to see what everybody else did, read his [Clarke's] book" in response to question over the sufficiency of his administrations responses to terror over eight years, roughly the entire period from the 1993 WTC attack, until just before 9/11.

[Gail Wynand]

The author who knowledgeably discredits Clarke's book, the sole defense offered by Clinton during his tirade against Fox's audacity to question his record, is a former Clinton foreign policy advisor, who believes that the Clinton "law enforcement" model of handling terrorism, put America at risk and not only led to 9/11 but was a departure from the policy established by the US in the Lockerbie plane incident, where active CIA involvement with physical evidence led to the determination of Libya's involvement. She accurately trashes Clarke's credibility on the entirety of his book, and with it, by implication and Clinton's own ratifcation of the Clarke distortions, the entire Clinton terrorism record.

I remember that Clarke was documented as a liar pretty soon after his book came out.
I'll see if I can dig up the old links.

Clinton thought he could buy off the Taliban, so in essence Bubba bought 9-11 with taxpayer dollars.

Clarke: it's the new Hubbell.
