another "interesting" W Clark quote

[Nie Trink Wasser]

no...not the one about time travel.

THESE ONES :


On "Meet the Press," on June 15, 2003, Clark told Tim Russert that he got a lot of calls after 9-11 telling him to go on television and say, "This has to be connected to Saddam Hussein." Asked who had told him that, Clark said: "[T]he White House; it came from people around the White House. It came from all over."

But under cross-examination by Sean Hannity on Fox News Channel a few weeks later, Clark would say only that he had gotten a call from "a fellow in Canada who is part of a Middle Eastern think tank who gets inside intelligence information." So in two weeks' time, Clark had gone from "the White House" to "people close to the White House" to "some guy in Canada."

NTW, good post. I am not a big fan of your posts that consist of a long article printed elsewhere followed by a few pithy comments. I think you are finally making that big step from regurgitation of news to digestion. Good job.

[P.S.A.]

Being new here, I want to know how you cast votes for threads. I want to give this thread a 1 star. You see, I assume that seeing as only NTW can award gleet, he is the one producing it too; And I'd like a little NTW of my own you see... and I'm just one star away from having some! I'm going to keep it in my sock I think, to remind me of him.

hey, I wanted to discuss the topic, but no one here seems to want to do that. I can't help it if Club Gleet takes over, it's their show.

I wanted to talk about Clark's comments, but discussion is hard to get in my threads, because of Club Gleet.

It's becmong REALLY popular.

Yes! It is said in an ever so slight two syllable way. Maybe I should have written it Prr Rize.

regardless of the Coulter article. The quotes were made by Mr. Clark in other sources.

Either we can play the Coulter game again or we can deal with the Clark quotes.

or we can call up ole Club Gleet.

it's all a matter of perspective. (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=gleet)

Nice try Nie, now read the whole thing:CLARK: I think there was an immediate determination right after 9/11 that Saddam Hussein was one of the keys to winning the war on terror. Whether it was the need just to strike out or whether he was a linchpin in this, there was a concerted effort during the fall of 2001 starting immediately after 9/11 to pin 9/11 and the terrorism problem on Saddam Hussein.

RUSSERT: By who? Who did that?

CLARK: Well, it came from the White House, it came from people around the White House. It came from all over. I got a call on 9/11. I was on CNN, and I got a call at my home saying, “You got to say this is connected. This is state-sponsored terrorism. This has to be connected to Saddam Hussein.” I said, “But—I’m willing to say it but what’s your evidence?” And I never got any evidence. And these were people who had—Middle East think tanks and people like this, and it was a lot of pressure to connect this and there were a lot of assumptions made. But I never personally saw the evidence and didn’t talk to anybody who had the evidence to make that connection.That's the value of selective quoting (on your part). You can make someone appear to say something that he never said. For instance, Clark never says, or even implies, that the White House called him.

what ?!


now...if you can post the quotes from his Hannity interview that would be helpful, because the point is the comparison of what he is implying.

Once again proving that Ann Coulter is no stranger to libel and slander when it suits her needs.

the quote is right there.

Clark is quoted saying that people from the white house (among others) were telling him to say this.

what ?!OK, I'll take you by the hand and show you.

Clark: ... there was a concerted effort during the fall of 2001 starting immediately after 9/11 to pin 9/11 and the terrorism problem on Saddam Hussein.

Russert: By who? Who did that?

Clark: Well, it came from the White House, it came from people around the White House. It came from all over. I got a call on 9/11. I was on CNN, and I got a call at my home saying, “You got to say this is connected. This is state-sponsored terrorism. This has to be connected to Saddam Hussein.” I said, “But—I’m willing to say it but what’s your evidence?” And I never got any evidence. ...

Do you understand? Clark says there was an effort to connect terrorism to Saddam Hussein. Russert asks by whom. Clark says the White House and people around the White House and from all over. And then he says he got a call... He never says he got a call from the White House. He just got through saying the effort was coming from all over before he says he got the call. And then he says:

...And these were people who had—Middle East think tanks and people like this, and it was a lot of pressure to connect this and there were a lot of assumptions made.

He's even clarifying that it was someone connected to a think tank.
