Clark and Brzezinski Video at Security Conference
Fantastic. Brzezinski is brilliant on the crisis America is in.

And how anybody can claim Clark is a PNACer is beyond me.

2. You mean the same Brzezinski who told the Mujahideen
god is on your side, and gave aid to them when the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan. Bin Laden was a member of the Mujahideen, can you say BLOW BACK.

5. The Soviet Union Had Invaded Afghanisitan And They Were Brutal
Occupiers....At the time backing the Mujahadeen seemed like a good thing...

Not only did they throw the Soviets out of Afghanistan the quagmire in Afghanistan contributed to the demise of the Soviet Union....

Happy Halloween! Don't be tricked by the Bush administration's scary attempts to shift responsibility for the war on terrorism. In a speech last night, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice blamed past president. While she never named names, Rice cited examples from the Clinton, Reagan, and even Bush's own father's administration.

"It is now undeniable that the terrorists declared war on America and on the civilized world many years before Sept. 11, 2001," Rice said. "The attack on the Marine barracks in Lebanon in 1983, the hijacking of the Achille Lauro in 1985, the bombing of Pan Am 103 in 1988, the World Trade Center in 1993, the attacks on American installations in Saudi Arabia in 1995 and 1996, the attack on the U.S.S. Cole in 2000: These and other atrocities were part of a sustained, systematic campaign to spread devastation and chaos. Yet until Sept. 11, the terrorists faced no sustained, systematic and global response."

Today, Clark called on the Bush administration to end the tricks.

"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."

6. No Opinion of/do not like Clark...
if you have up to 10 minutes free, try watching this Clark speech.

This is well done. I certainly hope Clark sticks with whatever current method(s) he uses to create his speeches.
