Just got done watching "Real Time with Ball Maher" -- Wesley Clark dishes out OWNAGE

Wow, he directly blamed Bush for not preventing the 9/11 attacks, and then continued to hit him in the gut. Very surprising, especially considering he's a top-level senior advisor for KE04.

Here are the two quotes...

If George Bush had done his job as Commander in Chief before 9/11 we would never have had the strikes of 9/11....
The guy that had the 9/10 mindset, that was George Bush. The guy who didn't want to listen to the threat of terrorism. The guy who never held a cabinet meeting. Why didn't he call his cabinet together and introduce the Attorney General to the Director of CIA and say gentlemen I'd like you to meet each other, and please I don't want any terrorist attacks?

But if he wants to wear the uniform, and take the glory of the men and women who are actually risking their lives in that flight suit, then he ought to understand what the command responsibility of being Commander in Chief is. When you wear that uniform, especially in the United States Navy, it's a one strike and you're out system. If you're the captain of the ship and it runs aground, they don't care whether you were on the bridge, eating lunch, asleep, chopping cedars in Texas, they don't care. You're out! They only ask one question, were you the captain on the day it ran aground? You're out.

Ouch. I wonder if there will be any ramifications resulting from his comments?

I watched the show. I expected some fireworks considering Ann Coulter made an appearance, but the segment was rather bland. A pity, especially since Beltzer seemed like he was gonna throw a fit when Maher started introducting her.
 
It's true though. That's why it's so infuriating hearing people say that Bush is a better leader for the War on Terror.

I mean, any competent Commander-In-Chief would very likely have prevented 9/11. It's utterly disgusting reading on the details about how Bush treated "terror" pre-9/11.

Costner was the only voice of reason on tonight.
I agree... if only he were more articulate with his points, then he could have really taught those guys a thing or two.

Belzer is fucking annoying with his black and white view of everything.

Clark is the opposite of Kerry. He had great foreign policy ideas, but didn't have any reasonable ideas about domestic policy and the economy.

i heard that costner said he wasn't even going to vote. How does that make him cool? what a loser.

He tried to explain his reasons quite well over the extremist spew coming from Beltzer. And although he was as subdued as normal, he did do an excellent job trying to explain his displeasure over the "Right" or "Left" labeling. Costner's just too quiet a person to be able to stand out in a lineup with someone like Beltzer screaming his head off. I agreed with everything he said though.
