(2004-03-28) — National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice today praised former counter-terrorism coordinator Richard A. Clarke for “leading the Clinton administration to crush al Qaeda before it had a chance to strike us again on our own soil.”
“After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 1998 embassy bombings and the 2000 attack on the U.S.S. Cole, Dick Clarke took decisive action as President Clinton’s trusted counter-terror chief,” said Ms. Rice. “His detailed knowledge of al Qaeda spurred the lightning attacks that destroyed Usama bin Laden’s Afghan training facilities and led to the arrest, conviction and execution of the man who was perhaps the greatest threat to the free world. One shudders to think what might have happened without Dick Clarke’s resolute leadership.”
Ms. Rice said she would lobby “to get Mr. Clarke nominated for a Congressional Medal of Honor and the Nobel Peace Prize to go with the Pulitzer he will certainly win for his new book outlining how he protected Americans from terror attacks.”
