Kicking Yang's ***** Snorting Fairy ***** ==> Richard Clark IS or WAS a LIAR! |
Richard Clark IS or WAS a LIAR!
The proceedings of the committee to elect John Kerry President
continued yesterday, this time with walking contradiction Richard
Clarke testifying. This is the guy that wrote the book blaming 9/11 on
President Bush and praising Bill Clinton's 8 years of inaction on
terrorism as somehow better. What an absolute crock...perhaps he's been
hired to revise the Clinton legacy because the facts just aren't on
this guy's side. Surprisingly, this egomaniac's head actually fit
through the door of the hearing room. Clarke kicked off his testimony
with an apology to "the loved ones of the victims of 9/11....your
government failed you. Those entrusted with protecting you failed you
and I failed you." His statement should have more truthfully been "to
the loved ones of the victims of 9/11...the Clinton administration
failed you. Prior to the slaughter of your loved ones on 9/11 by
Islamic terrorists, Bill Clinton turned down the direct handover of
Osama Bin Laden on numerous occasions. The Clinton administration
refused to allow the CIA to kill Bin Laden, with only capture as the
stated policy. Those entrusted with protecting you, including myself,
were abject failures who viewed terrorism as a law enforcement problem.
And don't forget to buy my book."
Well ... let's get to the rest of Clarke's testimony. We can basically
wrap it up this way. Clarke told the commission, as he told America in
his book, that the Bush administration did virtually nothing to address
the threat ofAl Qaeda until the attacks of 9/11. Nothing. He said
that Bush was virtually unprepared to act as though it's a major
problem.
Uh oh. Small problem. The White House was a few steps ahead of Clarke
yesterday ... as was Fox News Channel. Jim Angle is a reporter for
Fox. As the news about Clarke's book started to hit Angle remembered
a briefing he received from a White House spokesman in August of 2002.
That briefing was
for background. That means that the seven reporters on the telephone
conference call could not identify who their source was .. .only what
their source said. Angle remembered that the person who delivered that
briefing was ... Richard Clarke.
As luck would have it, Angle had a recording of that briefing. He
listened to it and found that what Clarke was saying then was markedly
different from what Clarke was saying now. So Angle went to the White
House to seek permission to release a transcript of that 2002 briefing,
and to identify Richard Clarke as the source. The White House, after
conferring with the National Security Council, agreed.
So what did Clarke have to say in the 2002 briefing?
Let's start with a statement Clarke made to the 9/11 Commission
yesterday. Clarke told the commissioners that early on in the Bush
administration he told the president: " ... and I said, well, you
know, we've had this strategy ready ... ahh ... since before you were
inaugurated. I showed it to you. You have the paperwork. We can have
a meeting on the strategy anytime you want."
So .. there's Clarke telling the media and the commissioners yesterday
that he had presented paperwork to Bush on a strategy for dealing with
Al Qaeda and was ready to discuss it. But what did he say to Jim Angle
in 2002? This: "I think the overall point is, there was no plan on Al
Qaeda that was passed from the Clinton administration to the Bush
Administration."
Lying then? Or lying now?
And what about this "Bush did virtually nothing" claim?
In the 2002 background briefing Clarke said: "When President Bush told
us in March to stop swatting at flies and just solve this problem, then
that was the strategic direction that triggered the NSPD (National
Security Presidential Directive) from one of roll back to one of
elimination." "NSPD" is National Security Presidential Directive. So
Clark was telling reporters in August of 2002 that the directive from
the president in March of 2001 was to stop swatting at flies ... to
eliminate Al Qaeda. This is what calls doing virtually nothing?
In the 2002 briefing Clarke also told Angle and the rest of the
reporters that Bush had ordered an increase in CIA resources by five
times .. .including funding for covert actions against Al Qaeda. Again
.... doing
virtually nothing?
Here's the kicker. It comes from the transcript of the 2002 Clarke
briefing ... near the end.
Jim Angle: "So, just to finish up if we could then, so what you're
saying is that there was no -- one, there was no plan; two, there was
no delay; and that actually the first changes since October of '98 were
made in the months just after the administration came into office?
Richard Clarke: "You got it. That's right.
So .. while the terrorist threat was increasing Clinton made no changes
in his plan of action against terrorism during the last two years of
his presidency, but Bush got on the stick immediately. That is what
Clarke is now describing as "doing virtually nothing."
Obviously Clarke is lying. We just have to figure out which statements
are the lies? Was he lying in 2002 when he was working in the Bush
White House? Or is he lying now when he's trying to sell a book?
Figure it out.
There's much more on the show today ... including audio. Be sure to be
tuned in.
