And in a "60 Minutes" interview set to air Sunday night, Clarke blasts Bush for doing "a terrible job on the war against terrorism."

But just a year ago Clarke was singing a different tune, telling reporter Richard Miniter, author of the book "Losing bin Laden," that it was the Clinton administration - not team Bush - that had dropped the ball on bin Laden.

Clarke, who was a primary source for Miniter's book, detailed a meeting of top Clinton officials in the wake of al Qaeda's attack on the USS Cole in Yemen.

He urged them to take immediate military action. But his advice found no takers.

Even Dick Morris's book, Off With Their Heads, which came out last year, contradicts alot of what Clarke apparently has stated in his book.

It would be interesting to see a pay-per-view with Clarke being 'interviewed' by Dick Morris on one side and Mansoor Ijaz on the other. Mansoor was fuming Monday about Clarke's allegations.

At 300 and trying desperately to catch up reading, while listening live, while working (women are great at multi-tasking), so forgive me if this has been said upthread. Listening to Gore-Lick this morning, is she still using the expression I heard her say over and over yesterday, "when I read this book/report, I was struck........." - I can only add "We wish!!!"
