(g) That reminds me of how John Kerry remembers being in Cambodia on Christmas...Nixon was President and it was "seared" in his brain, ...lolol, whoops, Nixon was not President. It was just another lie.

You offered a supposed direct quote of Bush per Clarke. The question is did Clarke actually say Bush spoke the quoted words you gave us, or did you make them up? I plugged your supposed quote into Google and guess what? Nothing. So looking closer for what Clarke claimed Bush said, I found that he said this: ""The president dragged me into a room with a couple of other people, shut the door, and said, 'I want you to find whether Iraq did this.'" He went on to say specifically that the President did not ask him to make up such information. cbsnews.com Considering that you claimed Clarke quoted President Bush as saying "How can we blame this on Saddam?," as though, in your words, "the fix was in," we now know you manufactured that supposed Bush quote. You can read Clarke rail all day long, and all you find is a Bush seeking to find information of an Iraq connection to Al Qaeda which had in fact previously been suggested in many quarters for years. I think Bush had a duty to ask that question. I'm sure, somehow, that you don't. Oh well, eh? I also came across this article for my efforts. Pretty good reading: slate.com Dan B.
