I don't mean to dig up something from a smaller source but last year -- Around September 20th, an Australian news site had reported this: <a href="http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,7350504%5E2,00.html">http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,7350504%5E2,00.html</a> Of course, pinning Clarke's comments with Al Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them: A fair and balanced look at the Right" chapter called "Operation Ignore" along with the book about O'Neil and what he claimed the Bush administration was saying about the time they took over ("We need to find a way to get to Iraq!"), it paints a picture of an administration that was dead set on going back into the Middle East. Let the Right try to smear clarke... Remember that Clarke was the guy who handed Clinton a fully prepared "War with Al Qaeda" battle plan after the USS Cole Bombing. The only thing they can blame Clinton for with this (though they blame him for everything in the universe that they see as wrong) is not handing the new president a war to begin his administration. Then again, the Bush team should have responded to the USS Cole attack to set the tone of their administration. Instead? They bombed Iraq and had a spy plane lost inside China... Figures...
