Last Night's Colbert Report with Nas
elegantelliotoffen replied to justnzane's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
You don't think that his anger is more due to the fact that Bush & Rove hung him out to dry during the whole Scooter Libby ordeal? Keep in mind also that the assertions about the administration made in the book were also made by McClellan in front of Congress under oath. If his book is full of lies then McClellan perjured himself. -

I'm getting mixed messages here. On one hand he's an ax-grinding imcompetent but you're not saying that he's either wrong or lying? How is that possible? I'll be gone by the start of preaseason, then I'll at least have some football to talk about. -

I only post here when I feel passionately about something. I used to post about the Marshawn Lynch case because the second I implied that Lynch may have been drinking I was attacked from all angles. Then I discovered this forum a week or so ago and the same thing happened. That's the only reason I came back! I just did a search for username Molson and it came up empty. Is it this guy? -

That's exactly my point, he resigned and cashed out at a corporate gig. His Republican contacts may be shot now but they weren't before he wrote the book. I think writing this book may have actually cost him money in the long run. -

Typical rightwing response, attack the messenger and not the message! -

Thank god Bush demoted the only guy who was trying to warn him about Al Qaeda!!!! You should be so proud of GWB! Clarke was the president's chief adviser on terrorism, yet it wasn't until Sept. 11 that he ever got to brief Mr. Bush on the subject. Clarke says that prior to Sept. 11, the administration didn't take the threat seriously. "We had a terrorist organization that was going after us! Al Qaeda. That should have been the first item on the agenda. And it was pushed back and back and back for months. "There's a lot of blame to go around, and I probably deserve some blame, too. But on January 24th, 2001, I wrote a memo to Condoleezza Rice asking for, urgently -- underlined urgently -- a Cabinet-level meeting to deal with the impending al Qaeda attack. And that urgent memo-- wasn't acted on. "I blame the entire Bush leadership for continuing to work on Cold War issues when they back in power in 2001. It was as though they were preserved in amber from when they left office eight years earlier. They came back. They wanted to work on the same issues right away: Iraq, Star Wars. Not new issues, the new threats that had developed over the preceding eight years." Clarke finally got his meeting about al Qaeda in April, three months after his urgent request. But it wasn't with the president or cabinet. It was with the second-in-command in each relevant department. By June 2001, there still hadn't been a Cabinet-level meeting on terrorism, even though U.S. intelligence was picking up an unprecedented level of ominous chatter. The CIA director warned the White House, Clarke points out. "George Tenet was saying to the White House, saying to the president - because he briefed him every morning - a major al Qaeda attack is going to happen against the United States somewhere in the world in the weeks and months ahead. He said that in June, July, August." Clarke says the last time the CIA had picked up a similar level of chatter was in December, 1999, when Clarke was the terrorism czar in the Clinton White House. Clarke says Mr. Clinton ordered his Cabinet to go to battle stations-- meaning, they went on high alert, holding meetings nearly every day. That, Clarke says, helped thwart a major attack on Los Angeles International Airport, when an al Qaeda operative was stopped at the border with Canada, driving a car full of explosives. Clarke harshly criticizes President Bush for not going to battle stations when the CIA warned him of a comparable threat in the months before Sept. 11: "He never thought it was important enough for him to hold a meeting on the subject, or for him to order his National Security Adviser to hold a Cabinet-level meeting on the subject." Finally, says Clarke, "The cabinet meeting I asked for right after the inauguration took place-- one week prior to 9/11." -

How did you go from being a big shot lobbyist to being a bartender? OK, let's forget about the character attacks, can you refute the substance of McClellan's book? Have you even read his book? Or are you like DC Tom and have an opinion of a book that you've never even cracked open. And since when is Philly the center of American politics? Isn't K Street quite a ways away? And since when is Press Secretary such an amazing job in Washington. It's a stepping stone to the private sector. I'm sure he was making at least 5 times as much at HHB Inc. -

Wrong again, he was not a "CIA desk guy" he was one of the President's National Security advisors!!!! And didn't Paul O'Neill's book say something similiar about Iraq as McClellan and Clarke's books? -

Do you even know who Richard Clark and Paul O'Neill are, or what they had to say about GWB? Or are you just going to make more sh-- up like how McClellan was unable to find a job? Ask your boyfriend Alaska Darin what happened when I checked up on his BS.............. -

Meanwhile you can't even articulate what you mean by your ingenius catch phrase "third rate mass marketed history".
