Yep, you write a book, it is fact. Except for the BIBLE, of course. I keep saying, it is time to take America back.

Anger?

This is a total comedy, and when Jean Fayiz Qaerry loses in 2004 by a landslide, the anger will blow the Clintons' collectivist frustration to high heaven. Get ready for recounts!

[ReleaseTheHounds]

You don't go ON BACKGROUND with a pool of reporters!

[dogbyte12]

Oh, bashing Condi again.

I am off my high horse on the background thing already btw. Back to bashing this stupid commission.

[Mo1]

FYI .. just heard on Hannity's show that Condi Rice did an interview with Sean and it will be on tonight

[Keith]

He was a lead counsel for the Nixon impeachment...you can put the rest together yourself...

If Hillary is to run, for VPOTUS or POTUS, then this fiasco makes more sense. Clarke's turnabout stinks, and this makes better sense to me than rehabilitating Slick or the Kerry Campaign launching a bogus attack, unless its all about Hillary. A penny for your thoughts.

[MasonGal]

oops - sorry - I didn't see your post about it - I haven't been able to keep up with all the posts on this thread.

One thing's for sure....Whether OBL is in a cave or in Hell, he's laughing his raggedy ass off right now.

[texasbluebell]

Armitage on now, but only on cnn so far.

[Howlin]

Wayne Downing is saying that Clarke had a problem because he didn't have access to the president.


Downing is saying that Tenet did NOT see Clinton for sometimes a WEEK!!!!

Re: The thought that these hearings will be recorded as part of history is an embarassment.

Yes. Now please excuse me for a while. My pooper-scooper is overflowing, and needs to unloaded.

March 24, 2004 --

Imus yesterday accused Stahl of being "one of the more dishonest members of the media" for allegedly going too easy on Clarke, who's been characterized as a disgruntled former employee by Bush administration officials.

"She did everything but slip her tongue in his ear," said sidekick Bernard McGuirk.

[Wolfstar]

If Kerry wins, the radical Islamists will have a field day. I don't own a gun now, but will buy one the day after election day should Kerry win.

[McGavin999]

Let me get this straight. In your opinion, the media should stand around on it's hands, knowing that someone is lying to the American people? Is that your position? In that case the "media" is has forfit the first amendment rights of the people in favor of some silly rule that isn't written down anywhere? They would allow someone to lie about an administration, possibly ruin it, and the "press" thinks that's ETHICAL?

These people are bigger enemies to the people than any of us realized.

[cajungirl]

I just got here and could only catch up on a few posts. Is it bad folks? Is Clarke getting a pass or is he setting himself up for the fall?

[YaYa123]

I'm trying to find the outcome of the lawsuit. The owner of the Sudanese pharmaceutical plant Clinton bombed is suing, or has sued, and the Vernon Jordan lawfirm is his lawyer. I can't remember the owner's name.

[CyberAnt]

This type of briefing is done all the time. Kerry was just complaining because Fox exposed WHO gave the briefing because they are usually sourced as "senior admin" or some such and are not designated to a specific person.

My problem with Sen. Kerry's statement is that Clarke is leveling some serious charges toward the Bush admin and revealing he make the exact opposite statements is fair game - at least as far as I'm concerned.

[WestCoastGal]

Oh no, don't worry. I said that to agree with you.....it needs to be said over and over again. I'm glad there are some of us that remember that!!

[ShandaLear]

I work in PR for a very large corporations. Backgrounding is NOT off the record. Case closed.
