Video: Ret. Army Gen. Wesley Clark blasts Bush's Iraq Policy
General Clark does an excellent job of holding his own against the Fox anchor, even though they gave the anchor's whiney voice more volume than the General.
One thing I found a bit disturbing, near the end of the video they are discussing the failed terror attack on LAX prior to 2000. They show a video of the "terror experts" and two of these elite are wearing yarmulkes. Sure, they could be jewish FBI agents, but why wear a religious symbol when you are working on a US government job? Got me wondering if they were Israeli, and if so, why are they working a terror case in Los Angeles?....

Retired Army General Wesley Clark presents Fox's Neil Cavuto with a clear explanation of the main problems with Bush's policy on Iraq and his track record on improving National Security.
A transcript is provided after the following video.
CAVUTO: General, we haven't had an attack in almost five years. That's not bad is it?
CLARK: Well, I'm delighted that we haven't and I hope we will never be attacked. The attack on 9/11 occurred on the president's watch. He took us into a war that we didn't have to fight. It's been used to incentivize recruiting al-qaeda. The number of people that are affiliated with al-qaeda world wide has more than doubled since 2001. Our armed forces are bogged down in Iraq. We haven't been able to effectively engage with North Korea. We're hearing the tom-toms beating for war with Iran. I think the American people can judge. This administration's policy has been a mistake and he's not made us safer. He's left us more vulnerable.
CAVUTO: Let me ask you, General, the folk we're fighting in Iraq right now, if we weren't fighting them in Iraq right now, where would they be?
CLARK: A lot of those folks wouldn't be fighting at all because what we did is, we incentivized a whole generation of young radical people to come and defend Islam against the United States. That the foreign terrorists that are there. Anywhere from a 1000 to 2000.
CAVUTO: So General, who incentivized the U.S.S. Cole attack? Who incentivized the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center?
CLARK: You changed the question... you changed the question. We did not have to attack Iraq. What we could have done is focused on Afghanistan and finished the job in Afghanistan but, Neil, we didn't do that. You realize, when we went into Afghanistan, we left Afghanistan again in a few months. We left 8000 combat troops there. We did none of the reconstruction. We didn't help the Afghan people recreate their economy. It had been devastated by the Soviets.
CAVUTO: Can I ask you, General. Wait a minute. We didn't respond to the U.S.S. Cole in any measurable way. We didn't respond to the '93 attacks on the World Trade Center in any way. So, is it just because this president is a Republican, that you're bashing him and prior one is not?
CLARK: No. It has nothing to do with that. In fact, the people who attacked us at The World Trade Center [in 1993], we arrested them. We broke up that ring. As far as the Cole attacks are concerned, a complete plan was worked up. By the time they had worked the plan up it was December of 2000. The administration was about to go out of office. A Republican was going to come in. I think, Richard Clark has told the full story of passing along a 20 page plan along with all the details to the National Security Advisor, Condoleeza Rice. They never got a hearing. This president went on vacation in August of 2001 despite the warnings that al-qaeda was trying to attack us without ever summoning his cabinet offices together.

We arrested the 9/11 attackers? That's news to me.

Iraq War? $300 Billion - No Bid Contracts, Mission Accomplished...
Bushit's Sadamn Condi Rum Cheney Happy Hour
Sam Stone: Collateral Damage (Thread)
Many Veterans are the "Enemy" of the Bush D.E.A.th War
Sam Stone came home, To his wife and family After serving in the conflict overseas.
And the time that he served, Had shattered all his nerves, And left a little shrapnel in his knee. But the morphine eased the pain, And the grass grew round his brain, And gave him all the confidence he lacked, With a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back. There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes...
Most "drugs of abuse" such as alcohol, heroin, cocaine and nicotine suppress growth of new brain cells. However, researchers found that cannabinoids promoted generation of new neurons...
