Summary: A Damning Indictment Of Bush's Misleadership
Review: How sad that all the 'no star' reviews seem to parroting the same, tired suggestions made by Rush Limbaugh and the Right Wing hate machine.Read the book and understand why Bush is going to lose in 2004, deservedly.

Summary: The truth told with regret and candor
Review: Richard Clarke writes a compelling, personal account of his and his administrations' failings in recognizing and dealing with threats against the United States. His candor in telling all sides of the story, not just that which protects the party in power, is an essential step in learning from the tragedy of 9-11 and returning to reality in the world political sphere. His illustrative accounts of specific turning points, some foreseeable, some only recognized in hindsight, provide a rare glimpse into the tortured channels intelligence information must navigate before becoming part of administrative consideration or policy. His insights into the hidden agendas of various aides and policymakers are invaluable in understanding how we have come to this point in our history. I highly recommend this book for all brave enough to face, unflinching, the need for self-examination and clear understanding of events before making decisions about our future.

Summary: Reagan was right
Review: "Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book." Ronald Reagan This book is nothing short of the rantings of a disgruntled egomaniac. A pure work of fiction, subdivided by resentment and anger. Not good reading, but it may make excellent kindling for a fireplace.

Summary: Against all Evil... non-fiction? LOL RIIIIIGHT.
Review: Then guy below me said it all. With recordings of Clinton talking about being handed Bin Laden and not taking him and with recordings of Clark stating how strong the Bush administration was on terror recorder PRIOR to 9-11 and the fact that the Commission asked Clark if he was lying then and he said no... this book is Fiction that should be thrown beside the likes of Tom Clancy. The only people that will like this book are people who dont like the truth. And the truth is out in the open for all to see.

Summary: Even the Washington Post discounts this person
Review: They see it as a valid tactic to include Iraq in an investigation of terror and think his motives to be partisan. So do I. It seems amazing that the President could be critized for not moving against Osmana bin Laden before he attacked and for moving against Saddam in a preemptive way. Clark really sounds like the person who did not get the big job he wanted. If he is correct, then it is a pity that his image is so damaged.

Summary: You Can Tell Who The Reviewers Are Voting For....
Review: I have the benefit of being a Libertarian. I can come at this from an objective perspective. You can tell who most of the reviewers will be voting for based on their reviews. Liberals run on with "Finally the truth" sorts of reviews because they've hated Bush from the get-go.... and Conservatives do the whole "He's lying!" because they can't handle information contrary to what the administration tells them. It rocks their fragile little minds. In the end, I think the book is well-written and informative, and cites that pretty much everyone has failed them. This book is selling like crazy, and I'm glad. It's good for the people to hear about the events out of the mouth of someone who was present rather than either a "Bush is Satan!" or a "Bush is the best president EVER!" wacko.

Summary: Yet More Proof This Administration Lies Every Chance It Gets
Review: I love the one-star reviews: one guy even CONFESSES that he hasn't read the book, but pronounces it wrong anyway! These are the kinds of people who will vote on one tiny issue and ignore the big picture. The facts are in, guys -- your fave Republican pres is a liar, and so are all his henchmen and women. This book is a strong case in and of itself. But add the unprecedented attacks on its author, the barrage of hatred and vitriol, and you begin to see the truth. The author worked for THREE Republicans and only ONE Democrat -- so how can he be accused of partisanship? Look, the boiler is beginning to rip apart at the seams. The rivets are popping. Steam is escaping from tiny hole after tiny hole. Cracks are straining the metal plates. It's about to blow! Read this book. Read a few others. Read the truth, not what the Administration spoonfeeds you with actors in infomercials. Watch how the henchmen contradict each other and themselves over and over again. No one says Democrats are angels, come on! But this administration has gone way too far. Stop agreeing just because they tell you to. Stop believeing everything they say. Read some George Orwell, then tell me whether or not they used his work as a manual for Doublespeak. Richard Clarke tells the truth. Honest Republicans (I'm sure there must be some!) have to face it -- or continue to be made into fools. While the Pres jokes about looking for WMD under his office furniture, several US soldiers HAVE DIED cleaning up his mess. Ask Richard Clarke if any of this is a joke. Ask the 9/11 families. Ask the military families. Ask innocent people in Iraq. Ask... don't just accept. Ask!

Summary: Clarke is a disgrace and a tool
Review: This guy needs a swift kick in the ... He has simply moved ahead of John Kerry, Bill Clinton, and Al "sore loserman" Gore as the latest in a long line of liberal flip-floppers. The fact that the left-wing machine and liberal media are allowed to politicize the 911 hearings is not only in very poor taste, it is also the most hidious example of how far these scum bags will go to gain power. The fact that this guy would say it was an honor to serve under the President one minute, and then completely rip him the next is not surprising. What is surprising is how far he goes to make Dr. Rice seem like an idiot when it is truly he that is inferior to her political intelligence. He only exposes his own short-comings and mistakes in this nonsensical piece of garbage. He and "Slick Willy" are to blame for any intelligence failures, because it is THEY who reduced the intelligence budget 7 out of 8 years. If you really want to be a lemming for the left-wing agenda buy this book! If you can actually think for yourself, you will no doubt have already determined what a complete self-centered, egotistical, maniacal, absurd human piece of filth this guy is!!!

Summary: An Important Work for America...
Review: Whatever the media hype may be, this book exposes important facts. Clarke is a Republican, who is not pushing a party agenda, and has the guts to stand up for what is right. The book also lets the regular citizen have a good look at what goes on behind the scenes in national security.

Summary: The Truth
Review: Now who are you going to believe? An administration that lied about WMDs in Iraq, or a former official who is admitting finally to the lies and deceptions they all participated in? For once, a book that apologizes to the public for the wrongs they all have done to our nation, soldiers and the foundations of our government.
