KERREY: Well, I think it's an unfortunate figure of speech because I think, especially after the attack on the Cole on the 12th of October, 2000, it would not have been swatting a fly. It would not have been -- we did not need to wait to get a strategic plan.
Dick Clarke had in his memo on the 20th of January overt military operations. He turned that memo around in 24 hours, Dr. Clarke. There were a lot of plans in place in the Clinton administration -- military plans in the Clinton administration.
In fact, since we're in the mood to declassify stuff, there was -- he included in his January 25th memo two appendices - - Appendix A: "Strategy for the elimination of the jihadist threat of Al Qaida," Appendix B: "Political military plan for Al Qaeda."
So I just -- why didn't we respond to the Cole?
RICE: Well, we...
KERREY: Why didn't we swat that fly?

what a fricking idiot... kept calling her "Dr. Clarke"....
well, if i was "Dr. Clarke", my answer would have been:
Rice: What do you mean "we", fucknozzle???? the Republicans weren't in charge when the USS Cole got bombed, einstein. Why don't you ask clinturd why he didn't swat that fly? huh????
