Chris Wallace Never Asked A Bush Administration Official Why They
Demoted Richard Clarke
During his interview on Fox News, Bill Clinton asked Chris Wallace how
many times Wallace asked a Bush administration official, "Why did you
fire Dick Clarke?" By all accounts, Clarke was one of the people most
concerned about al-Qaeda in any administration. Shortly after taking
office, the Bush administration demoted Clarke, eliminated his staff
and removed him from the Principals meeting.
Since 2001, Wallace has interview the top national security officials
from the Bush administration - Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Hadley - 42
times. According to a Lexis-Nexis database search, he never asked any
of them why Clarke was demoted.
The one time he brought up Clarke's name with a Bush administration
official - during a March 28, 2004 interview with Rumsfeld - he
repeatedly attempted to smear Clarke as political motivated and
untrustworthy. Some excerpts:

is to somehow divert blame for the mess the country is on a man who
hasn't held public office in 6 years.

When Bush, Rumsfeld & Cheney discuss Iraq amongst themselves, do you
think they say, "God, what a screw up!" or, do they congratulate
themselves on how well things are going?

Their conversations probably go more along these lines, "Damn! My stock
options in Halliburton doubled AGAIN this week. If this keeps up they
will out-earn the kickbacks I'm getting from dad's friends in the oil
company. That reminds me, gotta get that estate tax repealed quick, dad
can't have that much time and can't risk parting with any of his money,
you know to pay for schools and roads, heh, heh..."

Huh? Clinton wasn't that lame. He asked Wallace if
he ever asked Bush about going after Bin Laden.
As Clinton pointed out, Bush had 8 months to go after
Bin Laden before 9/11, and never even bothered to try.
Wallace, nothing more than a mouthpiece for the GOP,
lied and claim that he did ask Whitehouse officials.
To be fair to Wallace though, it was a bit of a set up.
Clinton knew who he was dealing with, and had to be
well prepared for Faux "news" bullshit, while Wallace
is a partisan chump who only got his job because they
were hoping people would confuse him with his dad.

Well, there you go accusing Bush of what Clinton did...
>That is what this is all about, anyone who suggest otherwise is a fool.
Oh yes, the ol' "proof by assertion".

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.

Obviously the latter; why would they be upset about doing so well?
Clinton, OTOH, is still frantically trying to cover up his screw-ups.

More precisely, Bush didn't even mention Al Queda, Bin Laden, Iraq or
Hussein in the prior 8 months before 9/11. That's how little importance he
placed in it.

And increased his budget by five times, as Clarke actually admitted in
audiotapes. But don't let reality get in the way of your shit, idiot.
