Cheney Blames Richard Clarke For 9/11: ‘He Missed It’
Cheney Blames Richard Clarke For 9/11: ‘He Missed It’
Writing in Sunday’s Washington Post, Richard Clarke, the former counterterrorism chief under Presidents Clinton and Bush, slammed Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice for invoking what he called “the White House 9/11 trauma defense” — namely, the shock of 9/11 was so great as to justify all and any actions taken in the name of national defense. Clarke called the decisions on interrogations, detentions, and Iraq were all “wrong,” and the White House panic proved that Cheney and company had simply been ignoring the warning signs:
Cheney’s admission that 9/11 caused him to reassess the threats to the nation only underscores how, for months, top officials had ignored warnings from the CIA and the NSC staff that urgent action was needed to preempt a major al-Qaeda attack.
Speaking at the National Press Club today, Cheney struck back at Clarke. When asked about Clarke’s argument, Cheney — once again — invoked the “burning ashes” of 9/11 and the victims who leaped to their deaths from the World Trade Center. Then, quite succinctly, Cheney pinned the entire blame for 9/11 on Clarke:
CHENEY: You know, Dick Clarke. Dick Clarke, who was the head of the counterrorism program in the run-up to 9/11. He obviously missed it. The fact is that we did what we felt we had to do, and if I had to do it all over again, I would do exactly the same thing.
Watch it:
When the moderator reminded Cheney that Clarke had repeatedly warned the administration about al Qaeda’s determination to attack the U.S., Cheney snarkily replied, “That’s not my recollection, but I haven’t read his book.”
In fact, it was Cheney who “missed” the warning signs, not Clarke. New York Times reporter Philip Shenon’s book, “The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation,” reprinted some of Clarke’s emphatic e-mails warning the Bush administration of the al Qaeda threat throughout 2001:
“Bin Ladin Public Profile May Presage Attack” (May 3)
“Terrorist Groups Said Co-operating on US Hostage Plot” (May 23)
“Bin Ladin’s Networks’ Plans Advancing” (May 26)
“Bin Ladin Attacks May Be Imminent” (June 23)
“Bin Ladin and Associates Making Near-Term Threats” (June 25)
“Bin Ladin Planning High-Profile Attacks” (June 30)
“Planning for Bin Ladin Attacks Continues, Despite Delays” (July 2)
Similarly, Time Magazine reported in 2002 that Clarke had an extensive plan to “roll back” al Qaeda — a plan that languished for months, ignored by senior Bush officials:
Clarke, using a Powerpoint presentation, outlined his thinking to Rice. … In fact, the heading on Slide 14 of the Powerpoint presentation reads, “Response to al Qaeda: Roll back.” … The proposals Clarke developed in the winter of 2000-01 were not given another hearing by top decision makers until late April, and then spent another four months making their laborious way through the bureaucracy before they were readied for approval by President Bush.
Cheney needs to check his “recollections” before blaming former employees for the single most devastating attack in American history.

June 1st, 2009 at 3:33 pmClarke was running aroud like his hair was on fire over the threat which, when announced to the Chimp and minions on Aug 11, 01, was described by then NSA Condashitty Rice as “Historical.”

June 1st, 2009 at 3:45 pmNo, Cheney’s right. Clark missed when he focused on Al Qaeda instead of the terrorists right under his nose, in the bowels of the Old Executive Building.
June 1st, 2009 at 3:45 pmDamn, Merdie’s act is really growing stale.
Did he learn nothing from the lessons of Carrot Top’s career?
June 1st, 2009 at 3:46 pmmerdad, your parody act is getting old
when you go that over the top, you don’t even sound like a right winger anymore, just a moron
June 1st, 2009 at 3:46 pmI’ve decided that none of this is accidental on Cheney’s part. It is not that his recollection is faulty. He is intentionally spreading revisionist lies and misinformation in an attempt to rewrite history.
Recall when Cheney appeared on “Meet the Press” in the run-up to the Iraq War and cited the a Judith Miller article in the New York Times to support his case. He knew at the time that he himself, through his chief of staff Libby, was the source of that article! This is no accident. Cheney is a propagandist.
June 1st, 2009 at 3:47 pmWhen you have five deferments under your belt you can say anything you like. At this juncture, who could believe anything that comes out of Cheneys mouth…..
Cheney is hedging his bet that another attack on U.S. soil will exonerate him and he will be annointed king….
what an ass !
June 1st, 2009 at 3:47 pmrinses? I’ve never been against rinsing. I often rinse and repeat. Merdad, how does my rinsing weaken the country?

bush and cheney allowed the WTC attacks
bush and cheney allowed the Anthrax attacks
they didn’t keep anyone safe, they created recruiting posters for AQ while stealing our treasre to illegally invade iraq instead of going after the perpetrators of 9/11
but they have YOU quite scared

June 1st, 2009 at 3:48 pmThat’s real comforting, dick. It’s also a sign of insanity.
June 1st, 2009 at 3:50 pmDoes Cheney recollect who was running NORAD on 9/11?
Does he recollect what was discovered and what actions they decided to take during his “Energy Task Force”?

June 1st, 2009 at 3:55 pmEvery single thing that grumbling Dick says should be carefully dissected and strongly attacked. He can’t look anyone in the eye, and sees the Bush years through the same scope that’s on his shotgun. Show him the exit!!

June 1st, 2009 at 3:56 pmDick Cheney is as delusional as certain trolls are. Fortunately, we can ignore trolls….
June 1st, 2009 at 3:56 pmAnd I would like to add my outrage that Cheney would try to lay the blame on the person that tried the hardest to make the Bush administration see the danger of Al Qaeda before 9-11 happened. I also remember, during Bush’s re-election campaign, that Richard A. Clark had just published a book about 9-11 which placed much of the blame on the administration failure to take his warnings seriously. He was dismissed by Bush and Cheney as being “out of the loop” in regards to counter intelligence matters. And Clark’s title was “Director of Counter-Intelligence!” I remember Jay Leno making a joke at the time, “He was Director of Counter-Intelligence, isn’t that THE loop?” Cheney evidently thinks that he can dismiss all evidence with any sort of lie whatever.
June 1st, 2009 at 3:56 pmOf course Cheney and BUSH would not do anything with the information Clark was providing…how else would they get there(neo con) attact to happen????
Don’t believe me? try watching the documentory ZERO-9/11. You will be angered by your government. How many of you know 5 of the supposed terrorist are ALIVE AND WELL IN SAUDI ARABIA!!!!! Why hasn’t the FBI informed the American public of this information???? Please watch, and pass it on…we NEED ANSWERS AND A REAL INVESTIGATION.
IF YOU DECIDE TO DO NOTHING, DON’T GO CRYING THE NEXT TIME YOUR GOVERNMENT CREATES A FALSE FLAG ATTACK!!!!

He is VERY lucky that the United States does not prosecute the wealthy for treason or crimes against humanity (…or most any crime for that matter).
June 1st, 2009 at 3:57 pmWhy is this war criminal still walking the streets?
June 1st, 2009 at 3:58 pmI think the tell tale sign of what DICK says is this:
“and if I had to do it all over again, I would do exactly the same thing.”
So, if DICK had the chance to lock cock pit doors, and increase security at airports, thus preventing 9/11 and the deaths of almost 4000, he wouldn’t?
Well, of course not, because he then wouldn’t profit from an invasion that would kill another 4000 countrymen, as well as hundreds of thousands innocent Iraqis!
How much for your soul, DICK?
June 1st, 2009 at 3:58 pmCheney didn’t keep us safe during the first eight months of his rule, did he Merdad? Instead he ignored warning after warning after warning.
June 1st, 2009 at 4:00 pmHow much for your soul, DICK?

Just a suggestion, of course.
June 1st, 2009 at 4:01 pmJust think if the Repukes had not stolen the election thru fraud and a Republic Fascist Party Supreme Court Criminals, then none of this would have happened…
….because the REAL PRESIDENT, Gore would have done something about it.
Cheney is a WAR CRIMINAL and TRAITOR who purposely let 9-11 happen, and then ordered the Anthrax attacks on anyone who opposed the Patriot Bill.
June 1st, 2009 at 4:02 pmThe more we ignore Merdad, the louder he yells…

That’s good. Cheney will say ANYTHING, again, obviously, in order to look better and salvage his image, however desperate and blatantly false. How pathetic. It’s always someone else’s fault. Before this, as has been pointed out, Cheney said they “kept Amerika safe for 8 years.” This is rich.
The fact is, we were attacked on the Bush/Cheney watch–and they were warned that just such an attak as what happened on 9/11 (I hate using those numbers) would happen.
Face it, Dick–it was your fault those 3,000 people were killed in New York.
You dick.
June 1st, 2009 at 4:21 pmwhat the hell is a merdad? The inbreeding is strong with this one.

June 1st, 2009 at 4:23 pmIncidentally, this proves 9/11 was not an inside job.
If 9/11 had been an inside job, there would be plenty of (planted) evidence that Osama bin Laden was behind 9/11. And he would definitely be on the Most Wanted list.
Come to think of it…if 9/11 had been an inside job, pulled off to start a war with Iraq, they would have framed Saddam Hussein for 9/11, thus avoiding all that WMD embarrassment.

___________________________________________________________
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
This is probably the most pathetic attempt at trolling I’ve seen in a long time. It could have a future as troll parody, but it needs more work.
“Killing babes”? What kind of “babes”? Hooters waitresses? Beauty contestants? Biker chicks? And are you talking about murdering these women (which only psychos would favor), or are you merely talking about “babes” that are hot enough to be “killing”? If it’s the latter, I know some men on both ends of the political ideological spectrum who might favor that — not just liberals.
What is a “same as sex” marriage? Is this some bizarre ritual where if you want to get laid, you go get married instead because it’s the “same as sex”? What, exactly, does that mean?
And what is your problem with “rinses”? Are you talking about hair rinses? Wash cycle rinses? Dishwashing rinse agents? What? And what in the world does this have to do with liberals?
Babies having babies? I think that’s the sort of story you might find in Weekly World News. On the other hand, if you’re talking about teenagers having babies, you’re going to have a hard time pinning that on the liberals. We’re not the ones supporting abstinence-only sex education, which has actually INCREASED teen pregnancy. Combine that with corporate America marketing with the relentless message that every teenage boy must get laid to avoid being a loser, and every teenage girl must look “hot” and be “hot” (a “killing babe” perhaps?) to avoid social downfall. Sex is being sold continually to our teens. That’s Madison Avenue and big business — not liberals.
The rest of your blather consists only of stale wingnut buzzwords with no meaning, and no substance to back any of them up.
Go back to the drawing board and try again.
June 1st, 2009 at 4:25 pmI don’t believe that 9/11 was an inside job, but I do believe that Bush and Darth Cheney ignored all the warning signs in their hell bent rush to war with Iraq.
June 1st, 2009 at 4:26 pmgood God, that Merdad is unbelievably uninformed and misinformed. (I’m being nice here).

TEH HOMO-SEX-YOU-ALL AGENDA – So dangerous, the THE has to be spelled TEH…
June 1st, 2009 at 4:33 pmIn the article “Rebuilding America’s Defenses – Creating Tomorrow’s Dominant Force” by the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) dated September 2000, there was a discussion about how to “rebuild” America’s Defenses.
The article concluded that short of a “Pearl Harbor” type of event, it would take years to build the defense forces to the level that the authors thought were necessary.
I think a very strong case can be made that Dick Cheney and others in the Bush Administration didn’t just ignore Richard Clarke, but was anxiously waiting for some event like 9/11 to occur.
Had they taken the steps outlined by Richard Clarke and other experts, 9/11 may not have happened and then the “Pearl Harbor” type event needed to implement PNAC’s vision of the future would have been in jeopardy.
As it is, we are still having to deal with the outcome of the PNAC mindset and until the Obama administration breaks with the Bush administration, we will still be suffering with PNAC’s vision of America.

Havent you killed yourself yet? Tick Tock
June 1st, 2009 at 4:49 pm“I don’t believe we tortured,” Cheney remarked, noting that the interrogation techniques approved by the Bush administration were vetted by White House lawyers. They didn’t cross a “red line,” he said.
And then he delivered the whopper: “There were three people who were water-boarded…. It was well-done.”
He framed their detention as a choice between two options: either we imprison them, or we kill them.

After the biggest air defense failure in U.S. history, General Ralph Eberhart, who was in charge of NORAD on 9/11 gets a promotion. How do four hijacked airliners fly around the country without being intercepted? One of the aircraft was off course for nearly an hour.
Instead of addressing this, airline passengers are treated like terrorists. WTF!!!
June 1st, 2009 at 5:21 pmIsn’t Clarke still the only administration member who APOLOGIZED to the USA for the government’s having missed 9/11? He tried earnestly to get the Bush admin to heed his warnings. Cheney exhibits every single character flaw and defect that I was raised to think of as vile and reprehensible: he lies, he weasels out of responsibility, he tries to blame others for his mistakes…

Nancy Pfotenhauer was just on MSNBC saying that she doesn’t believe that Dick Cheney ever said anything publicly that wasn’t true.
That’s ok. She is probably still in denial about the whole Santa Claus thing as well.
June 1st, 2009 at 5:27 pmLimbaugh didnt teach you how to spell. I can look past one or two typos, but this…
First of its ‘loser’ not LOOSER. Secondly, Gitmo is in Cuba, you, as a war nut, should be thanking Castro for renting the US that land. Thirdly, Bush and Cheney are not one ‘human being’ and I have no idea who GOS is or why GOS would talk to you. GOS didnt create them their parents gave birth to them. Fourthly, 911 happened nine months into the Bush admin, thats 270 days, 2/3rd of a year they had to do something to protect us…but didnt. They, like you, like to point fingers. They also ignored the flashing red lights and warnings from other countries. Heckuva job.
I ver seldom flag people Merdad, and now I have flagged you, not because of your misspelling, but of your refusal to debate intelligently and baseless finger pointing with no evidence or facts to backup your wild accusations.
Buh Bye Mythdad.
June 1st, 2009 at 5:28 pmThis whole rant is really really idiotic, but the part that sticks out the most is the fact you are against rinses? Since when are rinses part of the liberal agenda? How do you feel about permanent waves and color treated hair? Are you against using hot irons or curling irons as well?
Please do not reply…
June 1st, 2009 at 5:34 pmDick is at it again. Hell must be missing a demon!
June 1st, 2009 at 5:36 pmAnybody have a clue what “rinses” is supposed to mean? What a puzzle. Factory. Puzzle factory. Oh Gawd, it’s got me free associating.
June 1st, 2009 at 5:51 pmIt’s all part of the GOP rewrite of history. All their arguments are based on the precept that: “First Clinton did ___ and now Obama is going to ____ “. By 2010 they’ll refuse to acknowledge Chimpy’s reign at all. They are already trying to say that Bushco would have been successful if only the Dems had let them.

June 1st, 2009 at 5:52 pmNothing beats the Kroft Brother’s “Lidsville”…
I watched the documentary Nolie refers to. I don’t believe that it proves 9/11 was an inside job. However, I do think it provides very compelling evidence/proof that our government (i.e., Bush/Cheney) ignored warnings, let it happen, and then used and twisted the tragic events for their own purposes. It left me feeling outraged and sickened. Unfortunately, those are emotions I feel way too often these days. And I expect to continue to feel them until these criminals are behind bars where they belong.
June 1st, 2009 at 5:53 pmFor years their story has been that it was a surprise attack that no one could have predicted. Now it’s one guy’s fault?
Can anyone tell me one event or situation those eight years that the storyline didn’t change from the initial storyline? They have a history of saying one thing, being proven wrong, then changing the story. When have they ever not done that?

i don’t get it either.
June 1st, 2009 at 5:58 pmi’m okay with rinses, but what really irks me is when my wife uses fabric softener in the rinse.
What utter and complete BULLSHIT!
Read Clarke’s book, Cheney, you ass, and see how many times Clarke tried to warn you.
What a tard.

June 1st, 2009 at 6:02 pmWhat few (if any) journalists do not dare to ask about..
June 1st, 2009 at 6:12 pm“…the PNAC blueprint of September 2000 states that the process of transforming the US into “tomorrow’s dominant force” is likely to be a long one in the absence of “some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor”. The 9/11 attacks allowed the US to press the “go” button for a strategy in accordance with the PNAC agenda which it would otherwise have been politically impossible to implement.”

I must admit that I’m curious about how Richard Clarke will react to this. He’s not exactly a wimp and may have something to say about Dick and his lies.
June 1st, 2009 at 6:13 pmThe 911 Commission Report was Supposed to the be the ANSWER to all the Questions about this tragic Event.
The Commission was designed to be BiPartisan, and to Avoid Pointing Fingers.
By Definition, then, one question the commission did not, and could not Answer was …. WHO Should have Fingers pointed at them.
I’m glad Dick Cheney is resurrecting this Event, and it is back in the News. Maybe some Unanswered Questions will finally get some Attention.
June 1st, 2009 at 6:16 pmGuys they found explosives in the dust….. google thermatic material found in WTC dust…. A PEER REVIEWED PAPER was published with the findings but no one cares. Really now, there are to many questions which are unanswered to speculate who did what, but thats the point. There needs to be a new investigation, organized by the public!
June 1st, 2009 at 6:27 pmit’s officical, I’ve lost count of the number of lies this freakshow has told.
June 1st, 2009 at 6:38 pmThere is more than enough blame to go around. Especially for Bush and Cheney. Who ignored months of reports made to them before the attack. They all failed. Totally. Everyone should have been fired. But instead someone got the medal of freedom for the biggest intelligence failure since the Japanese bombed Hawaii. Fighting and turf wars between intelligence agencies. And stupidity of the Bush administration. Enough failure to go around.
June 1st, 2009 at 6:55 pmHey there Merdad:
June 1st, 2009 at 6:56 pmStill a fool and a fraud. Why are you so weak and tiresome. Did you really struggle as a teen?
Not to be crass, but Dick Cheney is proving again that he is aptly named. Amazing how often and easily these clowns re-write history. Didn’t Clark get demoted for insisting that we weren’t doing enough to stop Bin Laden?
June 1st, 2009 at 7:32 pmDon’t blame Merdad.
Blame TP for having an extremely weak blog log-in and the lack of moderator.
It’s up to TP to run a tight ship on the “interwebs”.
June 1st, 2009 at 7:37 pmDid you really struggle as a teen?
That’s two strikes, still struggling, still a teen…
June 1st, 2009 at 7:39 pmHow many innocent men,women, Lord lovers Your Pinky Comrade Fidel have killed during his worthless life ruling the great people of Cuba?
More than the Shah of Iran’s SAVAK, but less than republican-enabled Saddam’s Baathists?
June 1st, 2009 at 7:50 pmMr. Clarke,
As an intelligence professional, does it surprise you that you have been thrown under the bus ?
June 1st, 2009 at 8:57 pmWe caught some guys on 9/11 filming and cheering the collapse, but then the DOJ just let them go back to Israel.
June 1st, 2009 at 8:58 pmFolks that make an independant study find that the AlQaeda and bin Laden had nothing at all to do with the demolition of the World Trade Center complex. It was clearly a an expert professional demolition. Independant scientists as well as Intelligence professionals will testify the fact that the official story is complete fantacy. There is real evidence that Cheney himself could have been directly involved in the Airliner show that crashed into the WTC for the terror effects needed to divert attention away from what really happened. There is solid evidence of nano-thermate throughout the WTC remains, as well as the private videos of huge explosions, as well as the pools of melted steel that could only be explained by the thermate, available only through Defense Department channels.
June 1st, 2009 at 9:30 pmIn our history the name Benedict Arnold has become synonymous with “traitor”. If there is any justice in the world the name Dick Cheney will eventually become synonymous with “coward and fool”.
June 1st, 2009 at 10:40 pmMore likely, “traitor”, spense.
I wonder if Clarke can sue for libel? The facts are on his side. That would be a convenient way to get some facts before a judge…

June 2nd, 2009 at 12:58 am“The fact is that we did what we felt we had to do, and if I had to do it all over again, I would do exactly the same thing.”
What same thing? Ignore the warnings that an attack was imminent, then hide in your bunker while the America burns, then invade a country on false pretenses and quietly oversee the introduction of a torture regime comlete with “black sites” all around the world! That same thing?
June 2nd, 2009 at 2:31 amThis worm is freaking insane. Commit him.
The sad thing is that no one in corporate media is going to challenge him about this but they will act as stenographers by conveying his words directly to the progressives that they interview.

June 3rd, 2009 at 9:53 amHey Kevin. I just saw the YouTube video about web 3.0 and I have had this idea about our future economy.
June 6th, 2009 at 5:01 amIt’s a bit in tune with the Zeitgeist film. See, if all of our knowledge was shared, we couldn’t make money of it. Siki?

I’m a musician and I kinda have the feeling that in the future people will pay for live performances, because we have computer software that is very close to sounding like a musical instrument, with a modelled human touch. So, if a person that has never played the guitar, can click a button and sound like Jimi Hendrix, than what is the coolness about all this digital music really? Infact, I think that the more advanced this gets, the less interesting it becomes. We are still in awe over a youngster that can make the violin cry and we will definately be in even more awe when a person can actually do with their fingers that what we can do in an iPhone application.
Any interview with that SOB (or any of his coterie of dim-witted neo-Fascist jingoes) should be prefaced with a recitation of his Miranda rights.
