Richard Clarke's new book will be on my reading list next month. Clarke is now teaching at Harvard's Kennedy School...Yet, I think he was so concerned about the Bush Administration's ability to effectively deal with the terrorism threat...He felt he had to speak out...This is a 30 year career government employee who was appointed by Reagan...He claims that Bush and his top officials ignored many warnings about a potential Al Qaeda threat...Why have we seen so much stonewalling related to the Administration's willingness to fully cooperate with the 9/11 commission..??...Hmmmm....Do they possibly have anything to hide...? Clarke's comments on Bush are a serious indictment IMO... <<...Clarke also tells CBS News Correspondent Lesley Stahl that White House officials were tepid in their response when he urged them months before Sept. 11 to meet to discuss what he saw as a severe threat from al Qaeda. "Frankly," he said, "I find it outrageous that the president is running for re-election on the grounds that he's done such great things about terrorism. He ignored it. He ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we could have done something to stop 9/11. Maybe. We'll never know." Clarke went on to say, "I think he's done a terrible job on the war against terrorism." ...>> cbsnews.com Bush has not handled the economy well and now we have a very credible person questioning his judgement and leadership on the War on Terror. Clarke is scheduled to testify before the 9/11 commission...I look forward to hearing what he has to say. -s2@WhyShouldWeHireBushAgain.com
