Clarke should be ashamed to write about his behavior that day. Absolutely bizarre.

Bingo. That is the most pathetic aspect of this sorry episode. Clarke doesn't actually seem to realize that his little anecdote reflects poorly on HIM, not on Bush.

I'm actually quite pissed about Clarke's revelation myself. Pissed at Clarke. What the f**k was he doing standing there on 9/12/2001 saying he had the case all wrapped up and no need to investigate any further? Arrogant bastard.

And just imagine with all the things Bush had to pay attention to at that time, he had to content with an obstinate, irresponsible subordinate, who stands there arguing, instead of going to investigate, as the president requested.

I think it speaks extremely well of Bush that he didn't just pick Clarke up and throw him out a window.
