Clark Blasts Bush Administration for Continuing Blame Game
http://www.clark04.com/press/release/054/

In a speech last night, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice implied that past presidents-Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton-had ignored evidence of growing terrorist threats.

In response to Rice's remarks, General Wesley Clark says:

"Once again, this administration is trying to blame others for what went wrong on their watch. This is yet another example of weak leadership.

The White House was told that Al Qaeda was the biggest threat America faced. They ignored that threat and focused instead on missile defense and other skewed priorities. Even as they blame other administrations for 9/11, they are stonewalling the 9/11 Commission. Instead of blaming others, they should try to figure out what went on between January 20 and September 10, 2001.

This White House consistently fails to take responsibility for what went wrong under its watch, while claiming credit for its supposed successes. Harry Truman used to say the buck stops here. This White House doesn't even know where the buck is. We need new leadership that will make the right choices to make our country secure."

1. GO FORTH , CLARK.
Remain on the attack. Attack EVERYTHING Bush says. IGNORE what the other Democratic Candidates are saying. STAY ON TARGET. BRACKET AND FIRE FOR EFFECT.

2. While the rest are sniping at each other
and avoiding taking Bush head on about defense, Clark is focusing on Bush's failures. He'll beat Bush easily, I just hope he can win the primary. It's embarrassing that SEIU has chosen to ignore Gephardt for Mr. Park Ave. Clark can do this, if anyone can.

FINALLY, a Democrat with the guts to say something about Bush's utter failure to protect our country on 911!

Leadership demands accountability!

4. Condolezza Rice is the biggest lying
National security advisor there ever was.

Talking about she couldn't imagine airplanes flying into Buildings!
I will never forget that asexual piece of nonsense woman and the look that she had in her eyes.........

Attack her Clark, she deserves it!

6. You're right, Frenchie, and she's one
of the worst. The fact that she still draws a paycheck disgusts and amazes me.

5. Tell 'em, baby!
You go, Wes. These people take resposibility for nothing, unless it's good. And then they take credit for it, whether they were responsible or not.
