President's Former Terror Expert Criticizes Ex-Boss In Book
UPDATED: 9:17 p.m. EST March 21, 2004
WASHINGTON -- A former White House terror adviser is accusing the Bush administration of manipulating America into war with Iraq.
In a new book, Richard Clarke says that after Sept. 11, 2001, President George W. Bush made it clear he wanted a report that said, "Iraq did this."
Clarke's book, "Against All Enemies" -- to be released Monday -- says Bush has done "a terrible job on the war against terrorism."
Clarke also criticizes Bush for invading Iraq, saying it helped brew anti-American sentiment among supporters of Osama bin Laden. Clarke is expected to testify Tuesday before a federal panel reviewing the attacks.
White House spokesman Dan Bartlett said the accusation that the administration is not focused on terrorism is "categorically false."
In an interview aired Sunday on CBS's "60 Minutes" program, Clarke said, "I find it outrageous that the president is running for re-election on the grounds that he's done such great things about terrorism. He ignored it."
Bush's Democratic opponent, John Kerry, said he's asked for copies of Clarke's book.
