another "interesting" W Clark quote

[Nie Trink Wasser]

Once again proving that Ann Coulter is no stranger to libel and slander when it suits her needs.

the quote is right there.

Clark is quoted saying that people from the white house (among others) were telling him to say this.

...

what ?!

OK, I'll take you by the hand and show you.

Clark: ... there was a concerted effort during the fall of 2001 starting immediately after 9/11 to pin 9/11 and the terrorism problem on Saddam Hussein.

Russert: By who? Who did that?

Clark: Well, it came from the White House, it came from people around the White House. It came from all over. I got a call on 9/11. I was on CNN, and I got a call at my home saying, “You got to say this is connected. This is state-sponsored terrorism. This has to be connected to Saddam Hussein.” I said, “But—I’m willing to say it but what’s your evidence?” And I never got any evidence. ...

Do you understand? Clark says there was an effort to connect terrorism to Saddam Hussein. Russert asks by whom. Clark says the White House and people around the White House and from all over. And then he says he got a call... He never says he got a call from the White House. He just got through saying the effort was coming from all over before he says he got the call. And then he says:

...And these were people who had—Middle East think tanks and people like this, and it was a lot of pressure to connect this and there were a lot of assumptions made.

He's even clarifying that it was someone connected to a think tank.
