Sorry if I wasn't clear. We all knew he was lying that day. The White House wsa running for their lives. THey wouldn't think to call a fired General from the Clinton administration on a calm day, for any reason.

I think when talking he said White House accidentally and then just never corrected it.

It was Clinton who called, wanting to preserve his legacy. If Clark said the attacked were linked to Iraq, Clinton could see a small measure of his legacy preserved (in his mind). He did, after all, pass the Iraqi Liberation Act in 1998, and just didn't follow up on it but he could blame that, and thus 9/11, on the Republicans in Congress at the time.

Gee,now I get a red x on that posted picture!

It's just so baffling, how someone could miss the obvious after reading the transcripts just once. Unless, of course, it was on purpose.

I love it though. We have someone trying to defend another slick Arkansas pretty boy, trying to use a parsing of words approach. "Oh, he didn't SAY the call came from the White House. He said pressure came from the White House, and then in the very next sentence, he said he got a call BUT never said the call came from the White House. So you see, he didn't lie!" LOL

OK, whatever :-) I can live with the Democrats pinning their hopes on a word parsing slick pretty boy from Arkansas. I am sure it will remind them of exactly who I would love for them to remember, and it will remind them exactly of what I would like them to remember. That he's a deceptive, manipulative, self-serving charletan who thinks he's smarter than everyone else and above all accountability.

But even if we give GoOr that Clark did not technically say the call came from the White House, we have that 1) Clark lied when he said he was called on 9/11, 2) that Clark lied when he said that the caller pressured him and said "you've got to say this", and 3) Clark lied when he said pressure came to him from the White House-- or he has done nothing to substantiate his assertion that they did, and given that he lied about 1 and 2, there is no reason to take his word over 3.

Many, many good points in there I didn't even think to use yesterday with GoO. I wouldn't want to get into a contest of words with you - you'd win for sure.

And silly me - I thought a transcript would suffice! LOL

"He's very well connected to Israeli intelligence"

Nice try Clark...see him looking to indriectly blame Israel to rescue him from his own lies. What a piece of sh*t.

Ummm, could be. Good cover because an In Forum search of posts show very reasonable, supportive conservative viewpoints.

Clark put his life on the line for his country (and was wounded in Vietnam). That buys him a certain level of respect IMHO....Maybe it is something with you and members of the military that you choose to lie about Clark and about me? What is your record of military service to our country?

Adolf Hitler put his life on the line for his country in WWI, and was also wounded. So what? Stop the stupid straw men, stop excusing Clark's obvious lies and stick to the issues.

What is Clark's "record of service"? Clark is by all accounts an megalomaniac who had his own orders refused by both a British General and American Lt. General, was relieved of command, and his conduct was the subject of (sealed) Senate hearings. He was commanding a Texas Army base from which the Army equipment was used to pump in gas and incinerate American civilians at Waco.

So don't talk about "respect". He is a liar on this 9/11-Iraq issue, and your distractions aren't going to save him.

A freeper on another thread about Clark today posted pictures of beautiful young children who were killed from Clark's self proclaimed "humane war" in Kosovo.

Please give me that link. We are working on a major anti-Clark site.

I'll look for it after dinner. I'll look through MY Comments section because I thanked the Freeper for posting those pictures.

Will get back to you.

How many times are you going to post that same info from Woodward's book as though it somehow supports Clarks' claim? It's a bogus syllogism.

Yes, there were people in the White House who argued early on that a war on terror must include Saddam. But no matter how many times you repeat that fact, or how many ways you try to spin it, that does not equate in any way shape or form to Clark's charge that the White House or people connected to the White House were pressuring others to make a link between Saddam and 9/11.
