Clark Blasts Bush Administration for Continuing Blame Game
In a speech last night, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice implied that past presidents-Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton-had ignored evidence of growing terrorist threats.

In response to Rice's remarks, General Wesley Clark says:

"Once again, this administration is trying to blame others for what went wrong on their watch. This is yet another example of weak leadership.

"The White House was told that Al Qaeda was the biggest threat America faced. They ignored that threat and focused instead on missile defense and other skewed priorities. Even as they blame other administrations for 9/11, they are stonewalling the 9/11 Commission. Instead of blaming others, they should try to figure out what went on between January 20 and September 10, 2001.

"This White House consistently fails to take responsibility for what went wrong under its watch, while claiming credit for its supposed successes. Harry Truman used to say the buck stops here. This White House doesn't even know where the buck is. We need new leadership that will make the right choices to make our country secure."

2. Thus far I have tried to be absolutely neutral
in the democratic primary, saving up all my money for the big push against Bush, but I must say I do like this weapon of Clark's. I wonder how successful it will be.

3. I just sent Clark another $50
of my hard earned money. I am convinced he's the best hope for beating el shrubo. Naturally, I would vote for the proverbial "yellow dog" over the worst resident in US history.

6. W: well, you know, a buck's not worth the same when Trumad was
Pretzeldent ... and, now Trumad is hanging around that DU place ... we use a lot of credit and stuff, today ... we try to make sure the buck is deposited in the right accounts so it's not laying around for just anyone to pick up ... so, by the time, I see it, it's just in a memo form ... or a computer printout ... and, we're trying to shred that before it happens ...
