The self-serving, book-hawking Monday-morning-quarterback is so enamored with the sound of his own voice and his new-found fame, he's changing his story daily, making it more dramatic, to keep his publicity tour going a few days longer. From MSNBC:
Richard Clarke, President Bush’s former chief counterterrorism adviser, said Wednesday that it was possible that he and his team could have prevented the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks if the Bush administration had paid more attention ahead of time to Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida terror network.George Will has more on the melodrama-creating evolution of Dick Clarke's ripping good yarns.
Clarke’s comments, in an hourlong interview on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” were a departure from the testimony he gave last week before the independent commission investigating the attacks, when he answered no to whether there was “the remotest chance that it would have prevented 9/11” even if everything he had called for had been implemented.
It's probably about time for the left to give up on this saber-rattling narcissist. If polls are any indication, the American people aren't buying what he's selling. (Bush now up 6% in "Blue" state Pennsylvania).
