| Now, where would the WoT be with ex-pert Richard Clarke? Why, we wouldn't have anyone to joke about. Obviously, ABC News knows what they are doing when they hired this clown as their terrorism ex-pert. Intelligence officials are studying the most recent tape by al Qaeda's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, for hidden clues. Sitting in front of a gently rippling cloth screen in bright sunlight, an AK-47 in the background, Zawahiri promised more attacks so bloody they "will make you forget the horrors of Vietnam." He added that Americans and Britons "will not be safe until you withdraw from our land, stop stealing our oil and stop supporting the corrupt rulers there." Richard Clarke, a former White House counterterror chief who is now an ABC News consultant, said the setup of Zawahiri's latest video contains possible hidden messages. For one thing, Zawahiri wore a black turban, rather than the white one worn in his prior videos since 9/11. To Sunni Muslims, Clarke said, a black turban means "somebody is making jihad," or holy war. "This is a very carefully staged propaganda video, in which things like this are supposed to have meaning," Clarke told Diane Sawyer on ABC News' "Good Morning America." "He's trying to align himself, wherever he was, with the people fighting in Iraq." No, you don't say, Richard, tell us more..... The setting in the outdoors, with the sun shining and a breeze blowing, also may have been meant to send a message. "What he's saying is 'I'm not stuck in a cave,' " Clarke said. "These people listen to what we say about them. When we say that they are powerless, they are stuck in a cave somewhere in Afghanistan, they want to have a way to come back and say no they're not. So here he is, outside in the light of day, dressed for war 
when, in fact, he probably is stuck in a cave." I am so confused, Richard, you mean he is fooling everyone? Pay no attention to that darkened cave behind the curtain. |

| #4 Cyber Sarge It's worse than than that! He wanted to get the job as Cyber Security Chief. George Bush wouldn't give it to him, so he resigned. He wanted it because he was certain the first attack by Al Qaeda on US soil woild be a computer virus. As we can see from Sept 11, Richard Clark had bin Laden all figured out. Al |

| #3 Is there any doubt that this guy never had and will never have a clue? And Clarke was a White House counterterror chief under the Clinton regime, which explains why we are in the mess we are in today. I think Bush demoted him to Compter tech guy or something like that. |
