Clarke Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 04-05-04 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Summary: Clarke knows the secret stories of Bill Clinton's great victories (shutting down anti-U.S. terrorism sponsored by Iran and Iraq) and his great frustrations (failing to kill Osama Bin Laden despite many attempts). When President Bush took office, Clarke was ready to present him with a master plan to roll back and destroy al Qaeda, yet the president did not grant a briefing for months. His aides had little interest in Osama Bin Laden, preferring to talk about Saddam Hussein at every turn. Clarke knows why we failed to shut down terrorist financing within our borders prior to 2001. After ignoring existing plans to attack al Qaeda when he first took office, George Bush made disastrous decisions when he finally did pay attention. Thanks to the determined, even conspiratorial views of Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, and Bush, we went after the wrong enemy. The charges Clarke levels against the current administration must be taken seriously by every American, Democrat or Republican. Our security depends upon it. Contact: [email protected]
