Tim Russert gave Clarke 3 Minutes on Iraq. I timed it.

[frank frankly]

Clarke explicitly requested that the role of the invasion of iraq in undermining terror be THE TOPIC.

Instead, Tim gives him 3 minutes.

Clarke, by the way, was the best I've ever seen on an interview. The best.

If you email that lazy slob russert, please mention this incredible error. Or, tell him you know his lousy game and know he didn't want to discuss Iraq because everything Clarke said is terrifying and true.

The way he described it put me in a whole new level of awareness on this. As bad as this invasion seemed last year, the implications are much worse than even understood here at DU, simply because the specifics have a life of their own. Actually, a lot of us knew that or sensed it or knew history.

It may be our waterloo.

We are in such big trouble.

Send those emails and don't hold back.

mari333 said it well here, but this is the critical issue with tim's performance today.
