Dick Clarke is an American hero and everyone should read this book. I never appreciated what a great president Bill Clinton was until I read this book. This book also gives even more concrete examples of the criminal negligence and partisan bs of the Bush administration. Incompetence does not begin to describe what this man and his cronies did. Bush has made us less secure, ignored imminent threats that lead to 9/11, taken away many of our civil liberties, ballooned the national debt to historic proportions and questions or patriotism and love of country.

Mr. Bush (and Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Rice, Cheney and a host of others), you are the terrorist. You use fear and violence to keep control of people and you sent troops into an unnecessary war knowing that it was unnecessary (thereby being responsible for the deaths of thousands of American soldiers not to mention the dead Iraqis). You picked one of the least terrorist connected nations in the region to attack out of your own vindictiveness, hate and arrogance. May God forgive you for what you've done.
