#1 As usual, the standoffish Clarke doesn't explain the rise in attacks. Every poll of Muslims reveals belief that the US and its allies are attacking Islam. That is: MUSLIMS BELIEVE THAT WORLD WAR 3 IS ON. And I agree: let's engage the mortal Muslim enemy on a global scale and crush Islamofascist scum and put Islamic practice under Secular constraints, and do so by any necessary means.

Muslims are at terror war, and we are offering them onetime participation in inclusivist pseudo-democratic schemes that they do not want, while waging civil policing farces in the guise of war. Until the Islamofascist clerics and their flunkees - including the entire leadership of AMC, CAIR , ICNA, ISNA, MCB (UK), etc - are liquidated, the counter-terror campaign will be nothing but a wheel spinning neverendum. Clarke set the stage for this farce by facilitating the escape of the bin Laden family from the US on Sept. 14, 2001 (no, I do not subscribe to Michael Moore's fictions about the escape).

The enemy is: ISLAMOFASCISTS. Start the slaughter.

#3 "...not been an attack inside the United States since those on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon,..."The fact that 2 governments fell after 9/11 has,apparentally,escaped the estemeed Mr.Clark.After all what Islamofacist government wants to put itself in the crosshairs.

#4 "It's not clear it won't happen here" - Richard Clarke
"Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future." --Nils Bohr

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that something will happen in year one of the next administration just to test the resolve of the next president.

#5 Nice to see the Washington Post still has its workfare program for unemployed 'disaffected experts'.

#6 American Soldier by Tommy Franks w/ Malcomb McConell.

Warned before first meeting w/Richard Clarke approx 1 year before 9/11.

[..]pp. 209.
Chairman Hugh Shelton: " Tom Sec.Def. Cohen prefers that the CINC's coordinate their contacts with senior civilian officals through his office. Thats especially true of Dick Clarke."

[..]pp. 211, right after first meeting:
" I suspected that Dick was better at identifying a problem than at finding a workable solution."

[..] pp 227,
"I never recieved a single operational recomendation, or a single page of actional intelligence, from Richard Clarke."

IMO..Those are strong words for Tommy Franks, by nature and upbring he gives credit and shares credit with others offen when warrented, and does not engage in petty character nonsense.

[lots more but typing from a book...well I would starve to death if I had to type for a living.]
