Ex-Adviser: Bush Did 'Terrible Job' Against Terrorism
President's Former Terror Expert Criticizes Ex-Boss In Book

UPDATED: 9:17 p.m. EST March 21, 2004

WASHINGTON -- A former White House terror adviser is accusing the Bush administration of manipulating America into war with Iraq.

In a new book, Richard Clarke says that after Sept. 11, 2001, President George W. Bush made it clear he wanted a report that said, "Iraq did this."

Clarke's book, "Against All Enemies" -- to be released Monday -- says Bush has done "a terrible job on the war against terrorism."

Clarke also criticizes Bush for invading Iraq, saying it helped brew anti-American sentiment among supporters of Osama bin Laden. Clarke is expected to testify Tuesday before a federal panel reviewing the attacks.

White House spokesman Dan Bartlett said the accusation that the administration is not focused on terrorism is "categorically false."

In an interview aired Sunday on CBS's "60 Minutes" program, Clarke said, "I find it outrageous that the president is running for re-election on the grounds that he's done such great things about terrorism. He ignored it."

Bush's Democratic opponent, John Kerry, said he's asked for copies of Clarke's book.

I watched that guy on 60 Minutes last night, I loved his "warning" that he claimed that he gave concerning the 9-11 attacks. "Sometime in June or July there will be a major terrorist attack on the US somewhere in the world". Man if that wasn't a warning about the the Trade Center attacks in SEPTEMBER I don't know what is. I would also like to go on record today as saying that sometime in the next year there will be a major terrorist attack on the US somewhere in the world. Now I have to get busy writing my book about how the Bush (or Kerry) administration failed to heed my warning.

A caller sent Drudge an article from the New York Times that was saying such nice things about Condalisa[sp.?]. The direct opposite of what's supposedly in the book. I think Clark will wear some egg on his face before all this is over.

what a punk
This sounds scripted by the liberal idiots
the "we gotta get Bush no matter what crowd"
there are so many of these accusations
they are going to hurl a ton of C*** at Bush to see if they can get an ounce to stick
Same thing that is now common place in criminal courts
If ya dont plead they will charge you with every thing under the sun
to get a misdemeanor to stick.
This sounds so bad,
and some are going to believe it because they want to.
We are playing for all the marbles.
If Kerry wins we will have witnessed the pinnacle of our nations power and influence in the world. it will be down hill from there.
If the chit heads pull of another attack on our financial system and succeeds
the whole world is in Big trouble.
