		<description>Peon said, &lt;I&gt;I have 2 words for you to Google. Richard Clarke&lt;/I&gt;

Which Richard Clarke? I see three. I see the 9/11 testimony Richard Clarke. I see &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743260457/sr=8-2/qid=1141195575/ref=pd_bbs_2/104-6188252-5371129?%5Fencoding=UTF8&quot;&gt;the book Richard Clarke&lt;/a&gt;. And I see the TV interviews Richard Clarke. Funny thing is, they all contradict each other and yet they are all given by the same man. Which one to believe?

&lt;I&gt;It&#039;s hard to decide which side in this is right, but all you have to do is look at which side is lieing about what they did and did not say or know.&lt;/I&gt;

Yeah, no kidding. That&#039;s my predicament. Which Richard Clarke to believe?

&lt;I&gt;Anything goes as long as you get to go kill some folks and maintain control right? Even if you&#039;re wrong it doesn&#039;t matter as long as you have the final word in EVERYTHING huh? Nazis...all of you.&lt;/I&gt;

Oh...I see that you&#039;re a kook. Oh well. What else could I expect from someone who uses the many faces of Richard Clarke as a source?</description>

		<description>So what&#039;s your point?  That the Bush administration didn&#039;t put together all the clues leftover from the Clinton administration in their first 8 months in office?  Yes.  And hindsight is 20/20.

The Iraq invasion wasn&#039;t based on a 9/11-Iraq connection.  Yeah, there were some Al Qaeda/Iraq connections, but that&#039;s not what Iraq was primarily about.  They violated the cease fire, and numerous U.N. resolutions.  Period.  All other reasons are secondary.  The Bush administration was looking into a more permanent response to Saddam&#039;s hostilities well before 9/11, so that can&#039;t be what it was about.

I&#039;m not a Republican, and would not vote to re-elect Bush if he ran for a third term.

		<description>You&#039;re as bad a liar as the screwballs you idolize. Remember what I said about who&#039;s being caught lieing? I guess I&#039;m going to have to quote the whole last part of the PDB. If you follow the link I posted you can read the whole thing, but the last 2 out of 3 paragraphs read as follows and I quote: 

&quot;We have not been able to corroberate some of the more sensational threat reporting, such as that from a (name blacked out) service in 1998 saying that Bin Ladin wanted to hijack a US aircraft to gain the release of &#039;&quot;Blind Shayakh&quot;&#039; Umar Abd al-Rahman and other US-held extremists.&quot;

&quot;Nevertheless, FBI information since that time indicates suspicious patterns of activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of Federal buildings in New York.&quot;

I don&#039;t even know why I&#039;m wasting my time talking to you...just like every other Republican you won&#039;t listen to the truth...you only listen to and quote the lies that will keep your agenda moving forward. While some of the lies being told are just simply half-truths, the scary part is that you all rally behind them like they&#039;re scripture just so you might be able to go kick someones ass. Anything goes as long as you get to go kill some folks and maintain control right? Even if you&#039;re wrong it doesn&#039;t matter as long as you have the final word in EVERYTHING huh? Nazis...all of you.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The 08-06-01 PDB title is &quot;Bin Laden determined to strike in US&quot;Â and it mentions future plans for plane hijackings.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No it doesn&#039;t!  It mentions &lt;em&gt;old&lt;/em&gt; plans (1998).  It calls such reports &quot;sensational&quot; and says that the reports cannot be corroborated.

Richard Ben-Veniste attempted to make the title of the PDB into an actual threat of specific violence.  The PDB contained no such specific threat.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re ignoring Clarke&#039;s key testimony, and not acknowledging the fact that Bush failed where Clinton succeeded in December 1999. The Clinton administration was the learning process through which future administrations could base their response, Clarke who was demoted for Bush&#039;s administration (who served under Reagan and the 1st Bush in addition to Clinton) thoroughly documented his attempts at warning the administration only to have them treated with less seriousness than Clinton. Bush should have also been quite intimate with the situation due to him and his father&#039;s strong relationship with the Bin Laden family. Not to mention the Iraq invasion was based on now revealed to be bogus CHECH intelligence that said Mohammed Atta had met with senior Iraqi officials on April 10th 2001. Incidently Dick Cheney was caught lieing about stating that the intelligence was &quot;pretty well confirmed.&quot; It&#039;s hard to decide which side in this is right, but all you have to do is look at which side is lieing about what they did and did not say or know. The 08-06-01 PDB title is &quot;Bin Laden determined to strike in US&quot; and it mentions future plans for plane hijackings. Rice denied that it implicated that in any way. Even watching movies would have clued anybody in to an attack using planes. Ever watch &quot;Executive Decision&quot; from 1994? Different ends but the same means. Now...try to defend the bias and ignorance again.</description>

		<description>Richard Clarke had 8 years with Clinton to do something about Al Qaeda.  Actual attacks... lives lost.  And somehow Bush is supposed to do in a few months what Clinton couldn&#039;t do in 8 years with a PDB that contained nothing that Clinton didn&#039;t know &lt;em&gt;years&lt;/em&gt; before.</description>

Anyone who thinks that this was vague and non-representative of a real threat is either dumb/lazy-brained, or too busy working on another agenda so they can&#039;t be bothered with silly stuff like terrorism. I know someone who was both.</description>
