What was he afraid of, he might take a foreign policy action as a leader, a Commander in Chief, for our national to defense, and the Republicans would get so upset they would impeach him?

Read his book. The problem is Islamic fundamentalism. And I didn't say he was fucking great, but he was the nation's top counterterrorism official under both Clinton and Bush, so if Bush had been interested in doing something to protect the country from Al Qaeda, listening to Clarke would have been the logical place to start.

I'm starting to think you must be getting a commission. Assuming Clinton was listening to this guy, how did the 911 terrorists get in and out of the US in the years before Bush? Clearly Clarke was not fully on top of their game.
