Wow Strick...

--See what's confusing me is this Clarke guy who says "your government didn't do enough".--

"this Clarke guy"... hmmmmm. A thirty year civil servant of top calliber and excellent standing, with a superb record, and an excellent reputation... worked continuously through the last four administrations in top level positions...

Boy, you sure know how to pick 'em Strick...

My hunch is that Clark was being 'squeezed' by the Bush administration... and could not speak out for fear of loosing his job. And being a team player, he was forced to 'go along' with the charade in the White House. This would have generated a great deal of resentment... especially in a man of admirable stature. So, upon retiring, he's got a bone to pick with 'George'... and I for one, believe him.

Personally, I think Clarke would make a far better president than 'George'...

I guess it is up to the 'unsmearable reverables'...
