Rating: Summary: Critical New Info Presented In This Review Review: There is some disturbing information that needs to be presented here. Apart from Richard Clark's wonderful work, I am, as a concerned democrat, distressed by the facts obtained in a research mission I undertook to our nation's capital in July of last year. Those of you having visited our nation's congressional offices may have noticed that the bathrooms are segmented by political party. I did a survey of the stalls in both the democratic and republican bathrooms. I have to tell you -- the democrats don't flush 23% more of the time than the republicans. I'm talking #2 here! What does this mean for the future of our party? Is this yet another vast right wing conspiracy orchestrated by plumbers?
Rating: Summary: Should be called ' The 'macho bureaucrat' Review: You cannot take this book seriously. The author clearly has an agenda which is his dislike of the current administration coupled with an overwelming love of himself. In this dreadful tome he puts himself at center stage of the 9/11 crisis and other terrorist incidents going back to 1992. When things go well Mr Clarke modestly accepts responsibility when they don't its because nobody heeds his advice. Supporters of the author use his own book to back support their case (a circular argument) and ignore the ample contadictory evidence. As a measure of the Richard Clarke look to the correspondence released by Congressman Shays to the 9/11 commission. It is nothing short of disgraceful the way he hijacked the 9/11 commission to promote this dreadful book and to put himself center stage yet again.
Rating: Summary: Morons for Bush Review: Are you forgetting who lied about WMD you goose stepping nitwits? Great book with interesting insights from an expert in the field, despite all the Bush hitmen trying to ruin his reputation. Maybe the other critics on the site should read it before making judgments based on Fox News reports.
Rating: Summary: ****Read it before you buy it.****** Good advice Review: I browsed this book earlier today at BAMM, enjoyed a nice snack at Joe Muggs and went through the book. Took me less than 15 minutes to realize that this book was essentially worthless, Clarke has an axe to grind and an agenda to fill. Funny timing during an election year. Coincidence? I didn't buy the book and don't recommend it. As I was sitting close to the area where the display was for Against All Enemies and I didn't see anyone buying it. Onviously this is another one of those books that is #1 @ Amazon only. Save your money--unless you are looking for a very expensive door stop.
Rating: Summary: Bush Lover Review: - Hey Carl Hellyer: Three reviews without reading the book, eh? Why not actually read it so you can cast your own "original" aspersions against Clarke's claims instead of regurgitating that orchestrated chorus of attacks on the messenger that they "distort" and you "decide." The issue should be the message and the underlying truth therein. I don't understand why you go to such great lengths to cloud the issue. Have they told you to be wary? Just a portion of the 9/11 Commission's investigation is made public and only the claims that are corroborated will be fully recognized. So ask your commandant if you can remove your blindfold and give it a rest. If you choose to let the constipated tell you what to say, that's fine. I think the rest of us would prefer to think. And FYI, "Bush-hater" is a bit of a misnomer. It's the Administration with whom most take exception, not the figurehead struggling with the phonetics on his telepromter. I mean when the school bullies put him up to the mischief, nobody blames the Special Ed kid.
Rating: Summary: Great Book Review: I thought this was a very well written book, and had many intrigueing points. Even though I just outright didn't believe some of Clarke's claims, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It definitely changed the way I look at government, and I'm sure it will generate controversy for some time. With regards to the last several "reviews", please do the rest of the reviewers and/or readers a favor, and do not waste space on this forum just to blast the author. Either say something about the book, or nothing at all!
Rating: Summary: RICHARD CLARKE=A TRUE AMERICAN LIAR!!!!! Review: BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, JUST TURN ON CNN AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!!! HE IS DISGRACE TO AMERICA AND HAS EVEN GONE LOWER THAN THE DEMOCRATS USUALLY DO. WHAT A RAT! CLARKE IS COCKROACH!
Rating: Summary: I think Clarke should go to jail for lying under oath Review: I always look for the good, but in this case, I can see no good. So yes, I feel that Clarke should go to jail for lying under oath and for that matter, so should Clinton. He was disbarred and impeached but never served the full penalty for his misdoings. Perhaps that is why people like Clarke who were assocciated with Clinton lie under oath--they figure one rat got away with, so can they. Let's make an example out of Clarke and Clinton and stop the insanity. I say we put them both in jail.
Rating: Summary: What Else is New? Review: Should I be surprised, just another liberal spewing out lies.
Rating: Summary: RE: ****Clarke lied under oath****>>>>CNN Review: So if Clarke lied under o ath it may have been about something other than what is in this book or i t could be the same as what is in the book. And if Clarke lied under oath, he probably lie like crazy about anything where he wasn't under oath. So that means that this whole book may be one big lie, is that correct? In which case Clarke not only lies under oath, but lies when being interviewed for a transcript for a book and lies when being interviewed by CBS 60 minutes too which means that Clarke lies all the time and is not to be trusted, right? Makes perfect sense to me that Clarke is a liar and all of the five star reviews are by liars as well. One liar attracts another liar and another and another. So I guess this whole book deal by Clarke is one BIG FAT LIE! What a bunch of liars!
