Hey Bush supporters!

Please tell me about how Richard Clarke is delusional or lying.

I’m serious. Because he’s made some pretty disturbing allegations, and I have no reason not to believe him. His book is pretty good, actually. I mean it’s a real page-turner. Blix’s book was kind of boring.

Here’s the thing. I don’t want to be a “Bush-hater” as nnnuts says. Really. I know just by reading the book I’ve painted myself as a Bush-hater, but I really and honestly want to know why I shouldn’t take what he wrote seriously. (And yes, I resent the implication that investigation is by itself a sign of prejudice, but that’s a rant for another day.)

So, is he lying? Is he deluded? Is he in reality not the former National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism but instead an escaped mental patient? Whether he’s angry at the administration, is he making stuff up?

What’s the deal with Clarke? I mean, if any of what he says is true, Bush would be on trial for treason, not the front-runner in the upcoming election. Yet people are still thumbs-up on Bush and I’m not hearing any rebuttal on what Clarke claims. That doesn’t make sense.
