Ex-Aide Says Bush Doing 'Terrible Job' In Terror War
 

Richard A. Clarke, the former White House counterterrorism coordinator, accuses the Bush administration of failing to recognize the al-Qaida threat before the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and then manipulating America into war with Iraq (news - web sites) with dangerous consequences.

He accuses Bush of doing "a terrible job on the war against terrorism."

Another person who worked in the Bush White House speaks out.

no shit?

That's kinda harsh! :)



























The bastard needs a bullet in the brain for every Iraqi child who was killed and every US family who lost a father/son/husband in Iraq. The practical problem with that is Bush's brain is only peanut size and incapable of holding all that lead...

Bush wasn't the only one who failed to recognize Al-Queda before 911, I believe the whole world did. Again Thanks for you always uninformed leftest comments..

but it only matters if Bush (and his administration)recognized..he's the president.

like this is all a surprise , remember to vote!

These comments are from someone who worked in the White House with Bush.

Is it your opinion that anyone who disagrees with Bush, even if they were working in a Republican administration and witnessed Bush's mistakes first hand, is a "leftest"?

Too much Rush Limbaugh again? :1orglaugh

"Ex-Aids" of all kinds and for both parties have been doing that for decades.... It's not going to make any difference this time either.

This will not be dismissed easily by anyone but right wing partisans.

He's going to testify before congress, probably about how Bush wanted his people to find a reason to attack Iraq, even though many in the intelliegence community thought it would hurt the war on terror.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Many did... many didn't. So?

And when is this hearing? After the election? - And is it going to change the situation in Iraq?

Good, Bad - Right, Wrong - It's done. Anything else is just an attempt to effect the election at this point.

The more we end up divided on this... the better the terrorists are going to like it.




Just listen to Kennedy.

Ex-Aide who is trying to SELL his book which goes on sale Monday. Nice timing for some publicity to make some money now that he's out of a job, don't you think?

Gee, this is the first time anything like this has ever happened. ( Few would actually take it seriously if he what.. posted it on the internet / sold it to some magazine if any would actually run it.

I assume you're referring to "haaf slave, haaf free" :-)

Kennedy is a bad example for your dogma. He didn't listen to his advisors, and he most likely stopped a Third World War because of that. Bush listened to his and has created not only a vastly divided America but a world mostly against America, witness Spanish elections and Polish leaders calling him out. Not to mention a world-class A-Q recruitment poster.

Please don't ridicule either of those "allies". They're about the only allies he (not "we") has left.

The sooner people realize dissent is patriotic the better. Two words : Weimar Republic.

It's a-ffect not e-ffect btw.

These days it seems to be the only way to get attention of the five corporations that control all of our media, barring showing your tits.

and?

every one of my old bosses was an asshole idiot too.

that's just how life goes.

Yes...to promote his book...he is all about the color green.

You are an enemy of the United States of America...thus my enemy.

You discount what he says because he wrote a book? Does that apply to everyone who has ever written a book or just to those who question your hero, George W. Bush? :1orglaugh

LOL - WRONG Kennedy.

I was talking about listening to that fat slob that we have in the Senate bad mouthing Bush for the last 3 months.

I will watch his interview...and I will read his book...and make my determination as to his credibility. I basically take "tell alls" with a "large" grain of salt when they are telling all to make money.

FYI...the President is not a hero of mine.

If you want to be a good right winger, after calling Kennedy a "fat slob", you need to accuse "liberals" of name calling. :1orglaugh

theKing:

What a totally absurd statement - there is no response to that level of idiocy...

You are but a brainless grain of sand on the beach of humanity...but admittedly a grain of sand can be an irritant.

No it isn't. That is exactaly the mentality of every army from the Roman's, Germany to the US... even an army of ants - you attack their "home" you attack them...

wise up and get off your soap box.

What amazes me about these "Whistle Blowers" is why did they not see it at the time or have the guts to stand up and criticise?

They just take the money and go along with the lies and then sell a book about it later.

A good question coming from a Clueless one...hmm. I suggest because they have questionable character thus...questionable credibility...very possibly spewing their own lies...to make a buck.

theKing:

Hey Mr Superior!!

Yea.. anyone who says much must be of questionable character, questionable credibility.. and possibly spewing out their own lies.

Mmmm.. sounds like the "President" of the United States??

Get real King for once in your life! :1orglaugh

"The practical problem with that is Bush's brain is only peanut size and incapable of holding all that lead..."

You must have seen some small peanuts! :Graucho

Anyone who dares to question anything Bush does is a "terrorist" in your brainwashed right wing world.

Really? As if we didn't already know :)

Miss GFY after nuclear war :1orglaugh

I do not like Mr. Bush as President Bush...so you are wrong. I am not brainwashed...so you are wrong. I am not a right winger...so you are wrong...but being wrong is not uncommon for you.

Ann's look has improved.

Whistle blowing has never been a safe profession, and given that the majority of those in politics are spineless worms when faced with massive pressure (as whistle blowers often are), it's no surprise.

Atleast now he has a book to hide under and any damage done to him would be in a much more public light than it would have been previously - whistle blowers are not very popular among their once colleagues and have been known to have unfortunate runs of luck once letting cats out of bags.
