Sen Pat Roberts(R) contradicts Frist on Clarke

http://www.hillnews.com/news/041404/roberts.aspx

Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, says former Bush counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke’s testimony before a joint congressional panel on the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks did not contradict his later testimony before a presidentially appointed commission.

Roberts’s comments to The Hill contradict a stinging condemnation of Clarke by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) on the Senate floor after Clarke accused President Bush of failing to take Osama bin Laden seriously before Sept. 11.

Roberts said Frist did not consult him before making his floor speech, which has been criticized by Democrats. Roberts’s words make perjury charges against Clarke highly unlikely.

Democratic attack ads have used Clarke’s assertions that Bush did not adequately heed warnings about bin Laden and have been roundly rejected by the administration and its allies, particularly Clarke’s former boss, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, and Frist.

He's trying to make points on the turning of the tide....

to Clarke as early as tomorrow? Will he resign for telling lies on the floor of the Senate?

admit that they did. They are masters of misinformation and their beloved flock would be holy disappointed if they ever pulled back the curtain and exposed themselves. You have to watch carefully when republicans speak. They have this sneaky habit of crossing their toes. That's why you usually only see shots from the waste up on tv.
