The real war on terror has happened largely behind closed doors, run by the White House, drawing on secret intelligence and operations around the world. There is no man who knows more about it than Richard Clarke, the previous Counterterrorism Czar for both George W. Bush and Costs Clinton, the person who has led our efforts against al Qaeda and all other terrorist enemies for a long time, portion under seven presidents and in the White colored House for George H. W. Bush, Expenses Clinton and George W. Bush, until he about Against All Enemies: Inside America’s War on Terror resigned in March 2003. He has already established a front-row chair at every main battle in this war, from your first World Trade Middle bombing, to 9/11, to Afghanistan, to Iraq.

Clarke knows the secret stories of Expenses Clinton’s great victories — shutting down anti-U.S. terrorism sponsored by Iran and Iraq — and his great frustrations — failing to destroy Usama Bin Laden despite many tries. When Chief executive Bush took office, Clarke was ready to present him having a master intend to roll back and destroy al Qaeda — yet the president did not give a briefing for months. His aides got little interest in Usama Bin Laden, preferring to speak about Saddam Hussein at every change. Clarke understands why we failed to shut down terrorist financing in your borders ahead of 2001.

After overlooking existing programs to attack al Qaeda when he initial took workplace, George Bush made devastating decisions when he finally do pay attention. Because of the determined, actually conspiratorial views of Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, and Bush, we went after the wrong enemy.

The fees Clarke levels against the current administration should be taken seriously by every American, Democrat or Republican. Our security is dependent upon it.
