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:

Nor attacked Rice for deciding not to do anything about the Cole:

RICE: I do not believe to this day that it would have been a good
thing to respond to the Cole, given the kinds of options that we were
going to have. ... We really thought that the Cole incident was
passed, that you didn't want to respond tit-for-tat. ...

No, President Clinton did a very good job at the interview. Why do you
hate America?

So where was George before 9/11? He knew al qaeda was going to attack
but did nothing about it. At least Clinton had an excuse. Little
Georgie wishes people could accuse him of wagging the dog. But the
man's got no excuses left. He's a failed lapdog of the neocon PNACers.

Please tell us how many republicans voted for the tax bill that led us
out of debt, which is the real reason for the prosperity of the 90's.

If that were true, then with a Republican Congress AND a Republican
administration in the White House, we oughta be more prosperous than
ever. If you're an oil company, you are -- but real income for the
middle and lowest class is DOWN since Bush has been in office.

Conclusion: It wasn't the Republican Congress that made the 90s so
prosperous.

Odd, I love America too, but you seem to love America without
supporting the Constitution, the troops, the American people, or any
honest and good American values. How can you do that ? Perhaps you love
the name "America", but don't like truth, justice, or the Bill of
Rights ?

I also support the war on terror. I do not support foolish militatistic
adventurism in countries that had nothing to do with 9/11.

I love America, that is why i do no support President Bush. President
Bush has done more to harm America than to help it. George W. Bush is
not good for America. He has led us to economic delcine, a loss of
influence in the world, and made terrorism a greater threat to America
than it has ever been.

So if we translate your bizarro view into reality, you actually
hate America and enjoy seeing it disgraced morally and
militarily.

No you don't. You insult our Presidents with stupid names like Herr
Klinton? Tha's not love of country. Look - I don't mind if you are
critical of President Klinton's policy decisions - I am. But comments
like that are un-american. I say the same thing to people that insult
Bush in that manner.

You are an ignorant child that is full of hate. I hope you get help.
