Clark: Bush 'Never Intended' to Get Bin Laden
Clark, supported by so many dems is a true nut case, I for one am not surprised at all.
In what may be the wackiest allegation yet uttered on the campaign trail this year, Democratic presidential hopeful Gen. Wesley Clark is charging that President Bush "never intended" to capture 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden.
"We bombed Afghanistan, we missed Osama Bin Laden, partly because the president never intended to put the resources in to get Osama Bin Laden," Clark told schoolchildren in Bedford, New Hampshire last Tuesday.
"All along, right after 9/11," the conspiracy-minded general claimed, "[the Bush White House] made their mind up, I guess, that we were going to go after Saddam Hussein. That's what people in the Pentagon told me. And they capped the resources, stopped the commitment to Afghanistan, and started shifting to prepare to go after Saddam Hussein."
On Thursday Clark went even further. contending that the Bush administration has actually pinpointed bin Laden's whereabouts but refuses to take the notorious terrorist out.
"Newsweek magazine says he's in the mountains of western Pakistan," Clark told a Concord senior center. "And I guess if Newsweek could find him there, we could, too, if we wanted to."
The former NATO commander also hatched a nutty theory suggesting that Muslim men tend to become terrorists because they're sexually frustrated.
"Young men in an Islamic culture cannot get married until they can support a family. No job, no marriage. No marriage, unhappy young men. They get real angry, they feel real frustrated, they feel real powerless. And a certain number of them are being exploited in the mosques by this recruiting network," he told the Concord seniors.
The bizarre quotes - ignored by the mainstream press except for a Slate Magazine report today - are reminiscent of Democratic presidential front-runner Howard Dean's conspiracy theory that the Saudi royal family tipped off Bush that 9/11 was coming.
