But you know that already -- you're just trying to protect your ego.

Actually The Carlyle Group is an international merchant bank. And as I said above I wasn't saying this K st lobbyist firm was a merchant bank. Rather I was saying that they, like Carlyle, work to manipulate US policy to benefit certain parties. Also like the Carlyle Group, CSIS has "Advisors" and "consultants" who are high level government and military officials who use their experience and position to aid in the manipulation of that policy.

Carlyle Group is an investment company. They buy other companies. Essentially, a holding company. Before you continue perpetrating the lie, here is what you originally said: CSIS is basicaly another Carlyle group using past government or international figures, like Clark, to push policy to benefit their business partners.

What business partners? How can a non-profit think tank have 'business parters?' When you show me the business partners, you'll start looking a little bit less like a liar. But just a little bit.

So answer me this… Clark is an advisor to CSIS, a company that on their own website says they lobby congress with one arm and advise business in Texas with the other, yet Clark is also sitting on the board of aixcom and lobbying for homeland security contracts for that company… in short he advises one lobbyist firm that manipulates policy and he also works as a lobbyist himself for a company where he sits on the board, that's trying to profit from US defense prolicy?

You're back at it. Since when is a non-profit think tank a 'company?' The rest of this paragraph is spinning paranoid nonsense again. What 'lobbyist firm?'

Those four shiny ones you Clark folks are convinced are so important to wining the white house... the ones that seem to excuse the things Clark has said and done.

What things that Clark has 'said and done?' I think he finally stopped beating his wife a few years ago -- does that count?
