Dick Clarke has his own number. He doesn't need Ann Coulter. I listened to him on Fresh Air (the liberal talk show on NPR) yesterday and the guy made a complete fool of himself. Of course, with Terri Gross throwing her typical kidglove questions, he sounded really good.

Ann Coulter's number is up!

From my father-in-law:

Yo! ANN COULTER should be locked up for her big mouth! She causes more problems than ten men can fix.

Ann Coulter, now there is an objective person.

[Chuckiechan]

She always seems out in right field because she is so different from the left leaning media. She is certainly no farther right that the Democratic spokesman, Al Franken and Terry Mc Auliffe, are to the left. It's more an issue of contrast.

Here CBS is promoting his book, which their parent company owns, and they try to keep it quiet.

Objective? Most of the media acts like it's on the liberal's payroll.

You must have heard a different show than I did. I must admit, though, I'm not a big Teri Gross fan, either. Can you imagine a conversation between her and Bob Newhart? Really -- try it!

I stopped reading this article about the second paragraph. Right here ...

As long as we're investigating everything, how about investigating why some loser no one has ever heard

Why is is Ms. Coulter needs to resort to name-calling only 3 sentences into her article? I feel like loses all credibility right there.

Clarke is guilty of the same thing as many others critical of the current administration, which is that they are using hindsite to blame others for what could not have been known at the time. Had we not gone into Iraq, Bush, Kerry, and Clarke and most everyone else would still be fearful about Saddam's capabilities.

Clarke is a hypocrite. He praise the Bush Admin when he left, but now disparages them. He was in a position to make a change and he didn't take advantage of his opportunity, it's only now with the the benefit of hindsite that he starts beating his chest and blaming others for the same thing he's "guilty" of... which is not being a physic.

As for the name-calling, I hardly think Coulter is the only one, or the most prolific name-caller expressing their opinion in the media. There are even many members here whose comments about GWB make Coulter look like an amateur stone-thrower.

FTM,

I do agree that no one really could see the future about 9/11, however the whole Iraq thing is such a joke. I don't know what reason Bush really had in mind when he started pushing for an invasion, but Democracy and Freedom for the Iraq people wasn't it. Did anyone in the US really fear Saddam? I am not saying he was a ncie guy, but ask 1000 people and I highly doubt any of them will tell you that they worried about Saddam launching some kind of attack on the US.

Before Sept 11 though, Saddam was perceived to have the capacity to impact the US in a much bigger way than OSB. We clearly knew about al-queda, but I'm sure you could take the same 1000 people and ask them how many of them were worried about OSB launching some kind of attack on the US and you'd have gotten similar results... no one really expected to be hit on our own soil in that magnitude. The overwhelming majority of people in the know though that Saddam did have WMD, which made him an even more serious threat after we began an all-out hunt for terrorists.

Bringing peace and freedom to the Iraqi's was not the "primary" reason for invading Iraq, but there is plenty of evidence to prove that it was a concern at least as far back as the 1st Gulf war. Failure to find WMDs does not mean that the war was not justified, the threat was credible enough. Clinton thought so as well when he sent missles into Iraq. Even Hans Blix believed that Saddam did have WMD's, Han's just wanted to give "diplomacy" some more time, instead of invading Iraq, of course he won't specify how much more time should have been afforded either...
