"Harry Krause" wrote in message news:c3dhc2g=.5f5982983e66f57c73dbc7e7b7389ddb@108 0046738.nulluser.com... Did the administration neglect counterterrorism even after 9/11? After 9/11 the F.B.I. requested $1.5 billion for counterterrorism operations, but the White House slashed this by two-thirds. Krugman will be the next journalist to come out of the closet and admit to making stuff up. This statement is absolute bull****. This statement is absolute truth. The records are there to prove it. Yeah, sure it is. "The records are there to prove it". LOL. What records? And where? Do a little research nobby. Google works just fine. Just as I thought. To use basskisser's logic (an oxymoron if I ever heard one!)...you made the allegation, so you provide the proof. |

If you do some research, not only won't you find proof of your allegation, you'll find that spending *increased*. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,115085,00.html CLARKE: And in January 2001, the incoming Bush administration was briefed on the existing strategy. They were also briefed on these series of issues that had not been decided on in a couple of years. And the third point is the Bush administration decided then, you know, mid-January, to do two things. One, vigorously pursue the existing policy, including all of the lethal covert action findings, which we've now made public to some extent. And the point is, while this big review was going on, there were still in effect, the lethal findings were still in effect. The second thing the administration decided to do is to initiate a process to look at those issues which had been on the table for a couple of years and get them decided. So, point five, that process which was initiated in the first week in February, uh, decided in principle, uh in the spring to add to the existing Clinton strategy and to increase CIA resources, for example, for covert action, five-fold, to go after Al Qaeda. JIM ANGLE: You're saying that the Bush administration did not stop anything that the Clinton administration was doing while it was making these decisions, and by the end of the summer had increased money for covert action five-fold. Is that correct? CLARKE: All of that's correct. |

Now, are you going to comment on the Bush flip-flops? You asked for them, and I posted them. |

Is that correct? CLARKE: All of that's correct. Do the words counter terrorism and covert action mean the same thing to you? Yes. Especially in the text that it was used. Here are Clarke's own words from 2002: ....add to the existing Clinton strategy and to increase CIA resources...for covert action, five-fold, to go after Al Qaeda. Anyone with a brain can discern that covert action is just one tactic in a counter terrorism strategy. Since al Qaeda was the main terrorist threat, increasing funding for covert actions against them *is* count-terrorism. You're not really that obtuse, are you? Does the phrase "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic" mean anything to you? Does the phrase "increasing funding five-fold to buy more life boats on the Titanic" mean anything to you. |
