RICHARD A. CLARK

We do not always need to wait to attack a terrorist group for them to attack us.

By invading Iraq, the President has undermined the War on Terrorism.

Unfortunately, this country requires body bags before it will act...

I learned over time that you do not go for the perfect solution….You do what is doable and then you want to try and do a little bit more.

I have no more obligation to spin. When you’re in the White House, you spin.

I was asked to write a press briefing emphasizing the positive steps the administration had taken in the area and minimizing the negative ones. I was an Assistant to the President. I have done that for several Presidents. When you’re on the staff of the President of the United States you try and make things look as good as possible.

Who the fuck do they think bombed the Cole?….Are they going to wait until Al Qaida bombs the Pentagon before we retaliate?
