Clark vs. Perle on Wolf Blitzer

[Coexist]

round three - ding...

[kerry-is-my-prez]

1. Downing Street Memo....

n/t

[Coexist]

2. British Inelligence report being discussed!

Perle's response coming up...

[Coexist]

3. Perle "I do not believe the intelligence was fixed"

breathlessly awaiting Clark

[Coexist]

4. Clark

this administration made up its mind to go to war in Iraq... most of the Senators knew it, and they were unable to change the policy

[Gloria]

5. Whoa, a quote up on the screen ...Perle bullshits--Clark says Senate knew

it was being used to justify the policy and they couldn't change the policy....most of Washington knew it.

[Coexist]

6. with no WMD -

Perle "yes, I would have advocated going to war anyway, because he had the POTENTIAL"

ARggggh

[Coexist]

7. What was the rush?

quoting Blix??? Please

Clark, "that's a selective re-interpretation" "going to war against the Taliban wasn't sufficient"

They pushed the intelligence... it was strategic blunder"

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Clark: "A selective reinterpretation of what happened."

A polite way of saying Perle is full of crap. "A strategic blunder." There are other threats of WMD proliferation that they havn't done anything about. Army is fully committed in Iraq but Iran has always been the bigger threat.

[Stinky The Clown]

30. Best line of the whole thing ... ayup!

[Coexist]

38. So should we call the Neocons "selective re-interpreters" then?!

[Clark2008]

40. "SRI's" for short.

:7

[Coexist]

8. kicking butt...

[Gloria]

14. Yes, you could tell he was pretty pissed...controlled but his

voice was getting more and more intense and forceful....

That's my guy!! No pink tutu in sight...

[kerry-is-my-prez]

10. Clark: Let me finish!!

He slaps down Wolfie! Clark just keeps on getting better and better.

[Coexist]

12. I know - he always seems so much better informed than Perle

I love him

[Clark2008]

11. HAHA! Clark doesn't let Bush-shill Blitzer interrupt!

"Just a minute - let me finish..."

I love it when Clark pushes those media whores around.

:7

[napi21]

15. I do too, but Clark is still being way too nice! I'm TIRED of nice!

I want a Galloway like Dem on these damn shows! Oh wait...guess there isn't any, huh?

[Clark2008]

18. I've seen him get angrier.

Actually, this time around, he's using George Lakoff-type linguistics to make mincemeat outta Perle.
Too bad the sheeple and Freepers watching this have only a first-grade understanding of the English language.
If Wolf keeps pushing the Bush line, Clark will pop him - he's done it before.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. Oh. NOW we find the real reason for invading Iraq was because

Saddam didn't fully document what he did with the WMDs. Give it up, Perle. You're a tool and an idiot, and pretty soon you'll run out of even the lamest excuses. Feh.

[Coexist]

16. they are really running thin on the spin options on this one

aren't they!

[The Doctor.]

17. does CNN do streaming video? nt

[Coexist]

19. sorry - don't think so

[Clark2008]

20. Talking about "military option" for Korea.

Clark says "Of course, there is one."
"Could be a tough option. They have biological and chemical weapons..."

Perle says that if it came to the use of force, would be limited to destroying the weapons themselves.

In other words, Perle plans to attack that mysterious "nuclear plant" we've seen the same picture of in Korea, Syria and Iran. :eyes:

[Coexist]

21. North Korea "they have a million man army"

Perle "i think that if it came to the use of force, it would be for a very limited purpose... a few very specific targets from the air" oh please, we can just bomb a few sites and go on with our lives.

PLEASE

[Coexist]

22. Clark responds (over Wolfs trying to change the subject)

we have to treat the enemies capablities with some degree of respect

[Coexist]

25. Perle "I don't mean to make light of North Korea"

Clark on women in uniform "we have the right people in uniform"

"We should have dealt with North Korea first, Iran second, Iraq third"

[Clark2008]

23. Clark pops Blitzer and Perle AGAIN

Clark tells Perle he's an idiot (in so many words) and points out that we shouldn't be making light of Korea's weapons.

"We should have dealt with Korea first, Iran second and Iraq third because that was the order of the seriousness of nuclear proliferation." ~ Clark

[FrenchieCat]

27. Perle also said that Iraq would have been a cakewalk.

I wished that Clark would have reminded us that Osama is still on the loose.

[Pithy Cherub]

24. Perle has no facts in his pockets or his head!

Clark we should have dealt with North Korea first, Iran, 2nd... Go Clark!

[Coexist]

26. I agree - He rocked that show!

[Gloria]

28. Bush picked his fight "backwards".....and Clark answers Wolfie

in 10 seconds, earning praise from the dipshit.

AH, HAH.. ...10 seconds.....Clark getting it down perfectly!!!!

[Clark2008]

36. If he didn't do it in 10 seconds, what could Blitzer have done?

I think after Clark smacked him down the last time he was on Wolfie's show, old Leslie Blitzer is scared of him.

:)

[Clarkie1]

29. Clark in ten seconds: "Administration did it backwards."

Wolfie gave Clark ten final seconds: We should have dealth with North Korea, Iran, and Iraq in that order, that was the order of the threat. The administration went about it backwards.

[Coexist]

31. great quote - concise and amazingly TRUE!!!

[Clarkie1]

33. Good soundbite material. n/t

[indie_voter]

35. Perfect n/t

[FrenchieCat]

32. What's fucking new?

This administration does everything ass backwards....and does it very badly as well.

[Bigmack]

34. Give Perle a break....

... he's like the one-legged man in the ass-kicking contest. No weapons to fight back with - except his oily, reptilian, soul-less mind.

When I was teaching Modern History to HS seniors, I showed a tape with Perle talking about winnable nuclear (MY kids all pronounced it correctly) war. The kids invariably thought he was Dr. Strangelove.

[Coexist]

37. I hope they keep this dog-and-pony show on the road

It is such fun to watch!

[Clark2008]

39. I thought Rummy was Dr. Strangelove... Perle's just a waste.

:)

[joanski0]

41. General Clark knew full well that

Perle was one of the policy neocons who wouldn't take the military's advice re Iraq. Now Perle was doing the same thing trying to make light of North Korea's million-man army. Boy, it was a wonderful think watching the General smack BOTH of those idiots down.

[Adelante]
