Imagine if Richard Clarke came out today with his revelations....

[kentuck]

About how Bush had plans to invade Iraq from day one. How Bush personally cornered him and demanded that he get some data that showed that Saddam was a "threat". Imagine if that story came out today? Mr. Clarke was about a year too early, it appears. By the way, where is Richard Clarke? It would be nice to get his read on this whole DSM mess...

1. I often wonder where both he and John O'Neil have disappeared to.

Were they threatened? Are they disillusioned because of the scorn and abuse that was heaped on them after they told the American people the truth? Are they cowards who are hiding because they simply don't have what it takes to be a hero when they're called upon?

Who knows?

2. I'd like to know, too.

3. What IS Richard Clark doing today

...and why is he not being more vocal?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Coexist]

6. I have been hoping that there will be a great

60- minutes-type expose coming out featuring all of them. I girl can dream.

10. He said that was going to retire from the public eye

after his testimony and book promotion tour was finished.

4. Maybe he's in Gitmo

being re-educated

5. I'm waiting on that interview myself. Along with how many of the

others who've come forward to say the same thing, gotten attacked by the RW noise machine and faded into the background?

Seems like enough people should be realizing that the 'old news' is in fact on-going confirmation of the story.

7. Clarke is a good republican, and he is one reason the "old news"

meme works.

You are right in recognizing the because the evidence has dribbled out there can't be a combined impact.

8. He's not a year too early;what we need is a program like 60 minutes

to tie the whole sordid mess together

A narrative, a timeline but visual, and yes on the MSM that the whole nation can watch

F9/11 tried to do that also but if we could crack through with a show like 60 Minutes that would do it

9. Imagine if Kerry had only highlighted Rand Beers

Beers was the second terrorism czar who quit under Bush, but Kerry kept him in the background during the campaign.

Pretty dumb considering that nobody scared the Bush people more than Richard Clarke months earlier. They knew that he was capable of blowing a hole in Bush's reelection strategy: pretending Bush was strong on terrorism.
