Former White House counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke has blown the whistle on the Bush administration's failed response to the threat of terrorism - not just before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, but also since those devastating assaults.

The Bush administration is desperate to cling to power.
Recognizing that the weak state of the economy is straining his appeal, Bush knows he must run for re-election on the issue of national security. With Clarke explaining that this president and his team lack the basic understandings and commitments that are required to keep Americans safe, he is doing Bush's re-election campaign a great deal of damage.
I thik Clarkes credibility has enough holes in it that his power play will have very little role in the actual election.
It's interesting to me how suddenly, Richard Clarke, according to the Bush loyalists, has credibility problems.
Odd, considering he [Clarke] was more than sufficiently credible to be asked by 4 US Presidents to serve in their administrations, and even receive a glowing, gushing, handwritten thank you note from George W. Bush.
Go figure?
