In discussing the Iraq war, both Clancy and Zinni singled out the Department of Defense for criticism. Clancy recalled a prewar encounter in Washington during which he "almost came to blows" with Richard Perle, a Pentagon adviser at the time and a longtime advocate of the invasion.

"He was saying how (Secretary of State) Colin Powell was being a wuss because he was overly concerned with the lives of the troops," Clancy said. "And I said, 'Look ..., he's supposed to think that way!' And Perle didn't agree with me on that. People like that worry me."

No matter what Kylere says, I think Clancy kicks fucking ass.

His books aren't gospel, but they're pretty fucking close.

Clancy is a good writer of fiction.

eh Clancy is pretty good.. can't be that bad considerng he has been called infront of congress (or committees.. I forget) as an expert witness and/or having to explain how he got detailed information.
