Richard Clarke's Hair Is On Fire Again - Bloomberg View

Richard Clarke's Hair Is On Fire Again - Bloomberg View: Remember Richard Clarke, the presidential counterterrorism adviser whose hair was on fire about al-Qaeda long before the Sept. 11 attacks and whose warnings of a threat from hijacked planes were ignored by the administration of President George W. Bush?

Well, his hair is about to burst into flames again. This time, it's the threat from Islamic State that has him worried. "They're well-organized," he says. "They're running cities and vast territory. We don't know how much money they've stolen from banks or made from oil, but it's more than enough. They don't want to disrupt; they want to rule. We can't let that go on."
