What's my position today?

He has different beefs (beeves?), I'm sure, but I was thinking specifically of the passages in his book quoted by Brad DeLong in the post from which I quoted here the last paragraph. I'm trying to get my hands on the book so I can see for myself what he has to say.
eta: In bilmore's subsequent post, he's emphasized language about what the Bush Administration decided to do in January, 2001. If you read the passages I refer to above, in DeLong's blog, you see that notwithstanding whatever was said in January, Clarke couldn't get anyone to do anything over the next eight months. It just wasn't enough of a priority for the new administration.
