This confirms my opinions on the matter. As you know, I believe Berger will will be given a get out jail free card because he is a former NSA, however, it still says a lot of negative things about the man. He is arrogant and like most of the Clintonites does not believe rules apply to him because of his superior intelligence. The fact remains that he failed in his responsibilities when vetoed four actions aimed at killing or capturing Bin Laden. His poor decision making skills are indicative of the failure of the last adminstration to take actions that could have prevented 9-11. I bet he will be back in Kerry’s good graces soon. Apparently Joe Wilson is still an “informal” advisor. See http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/opedcolumnists/18230.htm.

Slightly off topic. Did anybody here Kerry’s comments at his post conventional rally near the Old North Church? He said they had intelligence back then that was better then we have now. (quote is imprecise). Kerry is counting on historical amnesia to present himself as a strong leader. As we all know that Kerry attempted to make deep cuts in the Intelligence budget in the 1990′s. I hope the Bush campaign creates a series of ads to connect the dots between that statement, his love affair with Wilson, Berger and Clark and his antipathy to US Security interests throughout his career.
