Novak: Rove was a source in outing Plame“>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060712/apongocastpe/cialeak_novak)

WASHINGTON - Now that Karl Rove won’t be indicted, now that the president won’t fire him, now that it really doesn’t matter anymore, more details of the leak investigation trickle out. In his latest syndicated column released Wednesday, columnist Robert Novak revealed his side of the story in the Plame affair, saying Rove was a confirming source for Novak’s story outing the CIA officer, underscoring Rove’s role in a leak President Bush once promised to punish.

The only WMD threat we have is Saddam Hussein. We need to invade Iraq and find his stash of WMDs, or the terrorist win, man. Mike Luckovich is wrong. It’s not N. Korea, it’s Iraq.

We need to get UN support for a war against all the 911 terrorists who met with Saddam in the 1990s and are hiding nukes and anthrax and nerve gas in Baghdad.

This is the only real threat left in the world, and we need to go in there. Yes, it will cost American lives, but the price of freedom is death, and I think as long as it’s your son or daughter, Bush is okay with it, his daughters are tax exempt, bullet proof, and 80 proof (apparently).

This plan came to our beloved president on 911 as he was reading “Mein Pet Kampf” to school kids. His GooseStepford Wife, Laura, had packed him a lunch with jello pudding that day, so he stayed to enjoy it with the kids.

We need to support an invasion of Iraq now, yes it will cost trillions, but so what? we’ll just use trickle down tax cut voodoo economics.

All true patriots will rally behind me and this idea. Mike, you are way offbase about N. Korea. Hell, they’re just a bunch of pajama wearing, near sighted, midgets. they dont have no nukes, nor any way to deliver them even if they did have them, nor the balls to use them even if they did have a viable rocket. Getting real sick of your misdirection here, Mike Luckovich.

Moderate Voice:

I offered a detailed solution several days ago. I’ll use a little of what I said now.

India fired a missle yesterday. Pakistan a few weeks/months ago. France, Israel, Iran, Russia, China and the USA fire them. The USA cannot continue to tell sovereign nations what they can or cannot do, especially “at the point of a gun”.

What should we do? First, we should publically ignore Korea and its leader. He is seeking notoriety. Second, we should privately take economic action.

Now, this is the hard part. We should refuse to send any additional aid in ANY form to North Korea. Sending them “humanitarian aid” in the form of wheat and rice allows them to feed their people while allowing them to continue to spend money on nuclear programs. We should also refuse to trade with ANY COUNTRY that trades with North Korea. Yes, that includes France, China, etc. No imports or exports. PERIOD.

I suspect that GWB would veto any such legislation. The USA seldom puts its money where its mouth is. We don’t want to do anything that would be “anti-business”.

For many trading nations, the USA is their largest customer (importer) for their products. Given a choice, I feel they may decide that North Korea isn’t worth the sacrifice.

You want to talk about taking advantage of some soldiers death and using them for political purposes, the AJC is treating the mutilation video of Kristian Menchaca and Thomas L. Tucker as news:

U.S. bodies reportedly on video- An al-Qaida-linked group posted a Web video Tuesday purporting to show the mutilated bodies of two U.S. soldiers, claiming the group killed them in revenge for the rape-slaying of a young Iraqi woman by American troops from the same unit.-AtlantaJournalConstitution

These pieces of sh-it do not name the soldiers so that it appears that more of our troops have been abducted and mutilated.

A supposed “news” organization can’t get a story right a day after it was broken?

The AJC can go to hell.

You liberals have nothing to say about using soldiers deaths, nothing.

Cut

The July 4th launches were seen as a message to the United States, another effort to boost Kim Jong Il’s international prestige and angle for attention and aid. But the chances that North Korea will credibly threaten the United States in the foreseeable future are remote. Japan is demonstrably already in range, and Japan’s government is in no mood to play games with Kim.

Japanese officials said Monday they believe negotiations may not be the answer to the Korean problem. Dawn over Tokyo.

“If we accept that there is no other option to prevent an attack … there is the view that attacking the launch base of the guided missiles is within the constitutional right of self-defense. We need to deepen discussion,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe said.-RealClearPolitics

Any of you Neolibs want to bet against Japan?

Cut

This perfectly sums it all up:

Since January, when Palestinians voted for Hamas, the Palestinian Authority has been governed by a terrorist organization whose raison d’etre is the destruction of a neighboring country. Now that Israel has concluded (reasonably, in our view) that it cannot abide living next door to people calling for its annihilation and firing rockets at its citizens, regional

N-GA, it is not just the US telling N Korea that they can’t fire missiles, it is the world community. The difference between N Korea and the other countries you mentioned is the leadership. We can rationally not expect them to use their nucs against another country. That is not the case with N Korea. As for cutting off aid, I am all for that. That country is not far from economic collapse. The fear then for S Korea is that the refugee crisis will crush their economy. This is a good discussion and does not have a viable solution that can be encompassed in one sentence.

Now, this is the hard part. We should refuse to send any additional aid in ANY form to North Korea.

Humanitarian Aid is the right thing to do but sending them cash bribes and nuclear technology, like Billy Clinton did, is the wrong answer.

I don’t blame cartoon boy, Neolib, or this Tosser N-GA on trying to dig themselves out of the mountain of evidence and bureaucratic blunders that the Clinton/ Albright as-sholeiocation left behind, it is rather embarrassing that North Korea just didn’t fall in line with Jimmy Cawter’s plans and dreams.

All the discussion about the improvement in the deficit leaves too much truth unsaid.

For example, the deficit does not include the billions of dollars being spent in Iraq. That is not a condemnation of the administration. All administrations have been guilty of doing this.

They say that these conflicts are unplanned, therefore cannot be included in a budget that did not plan for them. Well, this conflict has been going on for what, 39 months now…with no end in sight. I would say that we should start “planning” the expenses for Iraq.

In any event, it is a distortion of the truth to say the deficit is improving.

Meanwhile here in Geargia the state coffers are filling up, on taxpayer money. This money is coming directly from the state gasoline tax which is calculated as a percent of the price per gallon as opposed to a fixed amount per gallon. As a direct result, Georgia went from being the state with one of the lowest gasoline prices to a state where gasoline prices are among the highest in the Southeast. The Governor, responding to a query about this, said that there would be no adjustment this year. Hence, keep that windfall coming in, at the expense of the taxpayer.

Just a little truth.

Moderate Voice,

On the one hand people say that Kim Jong ll is irrational. Others say he is as sly as a fox. In either case, it is simply conjecture to try to predict his use of nuclear weapons. He already has the bomb(s). The current issue is how could he deliver them. It could be a missile or a suitcase.

But I think the real question should be: What circumstances would most likely cause Kim Jong ll to use his nuclear capability?

IMHO, I believe he would most likely consider using a nuclear weapon if he were attacked…and his first target would be Seoul.

Hey Andy’s One and Only. Talk about using soldier’s deaths; this Administration uses the death of soldiers every minute of every day to justify this bogus War on Terror. Soldiers are being used as mere props in this insane theatre of macabre; as Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, et al enrich themselves and their cronies in the Military Industrial Complex, and Big Oil. There is no regard for the soldiers who are over there, fighting an ill defined enemy, with no real plan except what appears to be fomenting Civil War.

But wait, there’s a light at the end of this very dark tunnel; according to Administration, for the thousanth time they’ve turned the corner in Iraq. How many times can one turn the corner until it’s painfully obvious that they’re merely spinning us in circles?

Beholding the party of hate’s unhinged anti-Bush bollocks on here is just too funny. Realising that their obsessive, impotent, moronic distortions will never amount to anything other than than vacuous cyber ranting is priceless.

It was sick Wille Clinton and the incompetent narcissistic wanker Carter with their desperate/pathetic placating of N KOrea that paved the way for this current situation. Now the leftist scum are again blaming Bush for their cynical, deeply flawed political expediency that as expected exposed them for the cowardly sound bite seekers they are.

Luckovich’s intellectual dishonesty and shameless Bush hate is now a national joke, but clearly reflects the far left AJC’s line. Happily no one else printed “that” cartoon, and the AJC’s plummeting circulation figures doubtless took a further hit.

Hopefully another twisted lefty will post a 500 bullet point rant about Bush. Just imagine the twisted hate involved in doing that - I’m still LMFAO off at the slightly shorter rants above.

I love lefties, they only exist to be laughed at and pilloried by their conservative betters, and bless em, this doltish approach ensures that the increasingly shrill leftist dems - having lost both the house and senate under the perjurer in chief sick Wille, will struggle to get either of them back.

The discussion went into the direction of ultra-leftist authoritarians (communists) and ultra-rightest authoritarians (fascists). While Dean seemed to deny that the current crop of right-wing authoritarians were fascists, he did refer to them as neo-fascists.

He was promoting his latest book, “Conservatives Without Conscience”. I find it more than interesting when an individual who was directly involved in the Nixon Watergate scandal calls for the impeachment of George W. Bush. Karma??

If somebody did leak classified information, I’d like to know it, and we’ll take the appropriate action. And this investigation is a good thing. “And again I repeat, you know, Washington is a town where there’s all kinds of allegations. You’ve heard much of the allegations. And if people have got solid information, please come forward with it. And that would be people inside the information who are the so-called anonymous sources, or people outside the information — outside the administration. And we can clarify this thing very quickly if people who have got solid evidence would come forward and speak out. And I would hope they would. “And then we’ll get to the bottom of this and move on. But I want to tell you something — leaks of classified information are a bad thing. And we’ve had them — there’s too much leaking in Washington. That’s just the way it is.

Keep right on fighting the good fight.

Loser.

Conservatism has noticeably evolved from its so-called modern phase (1950-94) into what might be called a postmodern period (1994 to the present), and in doing so it has regressed to its earliest authoritarian roots. Authoritarianism is not well understood and seldom discussed in the context of American government and politics, yet it now constitutes the prevailing thinking and behavior among conservatives. Regrettably, empirical studies reveal, however, that authoritarians are frequently enemies of freedom, antidemocratic, antiequality, highly prejudiced, mean-spirited, power hungry, Machiavellian, and amoral. They are also often conservatives without conscience who are capable of plunging this nation into disasters the likes of which we have never known.

RW – Until now, nothing has ever driven me to respond to anyone on Mike Luckovich’s blog, (can’t say that tomorrow) although I’ve probably lurked here since it’s inception – I’m familiar with the regulars’ views and can usually, grudgingly, see both sides of the arguments.

At 10:05a, you posted a link to your website. On the site, there is another link to something called the Jawa Report and by now, everyone has probably been there to see the spoils of the Iraqi war in all its glory. So now I just had to ask you – what purpose does it serve to keep this link up on your otherwise reasonable website? What purpose do the photos of mutilated servicemen serve? What purpose to keep them on-line, along with the video, when even Michelle Malkin (who I am sure is one of your modern-day heroines) requested they be removed from a site similar to Jawa? (The other site complied, by the way.)

Did you think these photos and the video would sway me to your way of thinking? Did you think I’d be so outraged that I’d be leading the charge to do away with all liberal-thinking individuals (or anyone against the war), or ban them from Mike’s blog, or ban Mike from Mike’s blog, or kneel down and profess my allegiance to all things republican? Did you?

Well, here’s what you’ve done. If I were on the fence before today, you managed to push me into the other yard. This war is ugly. This administration is uglier. And you, RW, for posting that link, are ugliest of them all.

My Role in the Valerie Plame Leak Story by Robert Novak Posted Jul 12, 2006

In my sworn testimony, I said what I have contended in my columns and on television: Joe Wilson’s wife’s role in instituting her husband’s mission was revealed to me in the middle of a long interview with an official who I have previously said was not a political gunslinger. After the federal investigation was announced, he told me through a third party that the disclosure was inadvertent on his part.

Following my interview with the primary source, I sought out the second administration official and the CIA spokesman for confirmation. I learned Valerie Plame’s name from Joe Wilson’s entry in “Who’s Who in America.”

Dueling Quotes

“Facing increasing criticism on Korea, Tony Snow lashed out at Clinton. Snow accused the Clinton administration of going to North Korea with “flowers and chocolates.” He said the Clinton strategy “failed” and President Bush had ‘learned from that mistake.’” —Tony Snow, http://www.thinkprogress.org/

Let’s review the facts: 1. George H. W. Bush: one to two bombs’ worth of plutonium
2. Bill Clinton: zero plutonium
3. George W. Bush: 4-6 nuclear weapons’ worth of plutonium. —Think Progress, http://www.thinkprogress.org/

The big difference is Clinton didn’t get richer every time he created a crisis. By letting North Korea and that Hand* in Iran have nukes, Bush can say we need that horse*t Star Wars shield that doesn’t work to protect us from his many failures.

Fitzgerald decides not to prosecute Rove. Novak confirms that Rove was one of his sources for the Plame story.

Accordingly, Rove joins the ranks of the Unindicted Co-Conspirator. This was a popular activity during the Watergate era.

Another book by John Dean Together with the resurgence of the Unindicted Co-Conspirator confirms that we did not learn from history, so we are repeating it.

The incidents between US troops and civilians that are leading to court martials remind us of the court martials during the Viet Nam war and the experience of the Soviet army in Afghanistan. We did not learn from history, so we are repeating it.

The combination of an irrational leader in North Korea and the cries of Pinko when anybody questions our president are reminiscent of the 1950s. Since we didn’t learn from them, I guess we have to go back and live through them.

Seriously — about the only hope of any control of the Kim Jong issue is by economic sanctions at this point.

Invade North Korea? Not a chance with our military (and national budget) Stretched too thin. please remeber that they can actually hit our planes and bring many down unlike our Iraqi’ foes (ahem) technology.

Get China to control their mad dog? Nope - we have no influence in China now that we are in debt up to our ears to them. Now where do you think that huge deficit of our budget is owed too? Well a very large chucnk of that money is owed to those slant eyed guys we are buying cheap goods from! Yes we are in debt to China!

Nuke them — Sure why not? Lets light that world wide candle. At least after that point there wouldn’t be an environment for the environmentalist to scream about now would there. Of course there wouldn’t be Suv’s or much of anything left to enjoy either. That is unless you realy want to cook on rocks and eat cockroaches!

Those of you that think Bush had nothing to do with the current North Korea situation obviously didn’t keep up with events during the early years of Bush - so here’s a refresher.

1) Via a treaty arranged By President Clinton, the USA is supplying Oil to North Korea for them to Produce Electricity. This is in exchange for North Korea shutting down their (existing) nuclear reactors. this is a temporary arrangement while the USA helps build 2 light water reactors (reactors that do not produce bomb grade nuclear by-product in the process) These reactors would eventually replace North Korea’s heavy water reactors that were originally producing their electricity. Those (older) reactors would be dismantled after the new reactors had been built.

2) Bush comes into Office. Bush does very little on the dplomacy front instead taking a hard-liner stance with other countries such as North Korea. The inspections however continued on the (shutdown) North Korean reactors. Note these reactors also had cameras constantly monitoring the seals. During the inspections the inspection team were told by North Korean officials that they still had a nuclear weapons research program going. They did not however have fissionable materials to work with, they were just doing basic scientific research towards the development of nuclear weapons.

“You got your panties in wad over 2500 brave volunteer soldiers, which I doubt if you really even give a flying f’k about them, how can you just totally overlook the 85,000?”

On a very personal level, a personal response

In the 35 years I’ve been retired from the Army and done nothing to disguise scars from injuries to my head and neck, I’ve learned that comparisons of the combat-injured to persons mugged — or run over crossing the street — are to be expected.

I’ve accepted the discomfort in others when meeting someone who’s returned from a horrific place they can’t imagine.

I understand when they seek comfort by assuring themselves that what they see is the result of fate, and not the conscientious effort on anyone’s part to carry out orders given in their name — ostensibly for the protection of their freedom and security.

When conversations progress to the scars, failed wars and injury, I understand. From the flow and timbre of talk to body language that draws back I understand that what they’re saying is, “It wasn’t me who sent you. I’d have done things differently.”

I no longer explain that comparing combat injuries to criminal violence or traffic accidents denigrates the efforts of law enforcement and trivializes the service of our military.

Such explanations to these persons are as useful an endeavor as nailing Jell-O to a tree.

RW – Until now, nothing has ever driven me to respond to anyone on Mike Luckovich’s blog, (can’t say that tomorrow) although I’ve probably lurked here since it’s inception – I’m familiar with the regulars’ views and can usually, grudgingly, see both sides of the arguments.

At 10:05a, you posted a link to your website. On the site, there is another link to something called the Jawa Report and by now, everyone has probably been there to see the spoils of the Iraqi war in all its glory. So now I just had to ask you – what purpose does it serve to keep this link up on your otherwise reasonable website? What purpose do the photos of mutilated servicemen serve? What purpose to keep them on-line, along with the video, when even Michelle Malkin (who I am sure is one of your modern-day heroines) requested they be removed from a site similar to Jawa? (The other site complied, by the way.)

Did you think these photos and the video would sway me to your way of thinking? Did you think I’d be so outraged that I’d be leading the charge to do away with all liberal-thinking individuals (or anyone against the war), or ban them from Mike’s blog, or ban Mike from Mike’s blog, or kneel down and profess my allegiance to all things republican? Did you?

Well, here’s what you’ve done. If I were on the fence before today, you managed to push me into the other yard. This war is ugly. This administration is uglier. And you, RW, for posting that link, are ugliest of them all.

I find it hard to believe because no true soldier would ever consider abandoning their “brothers” in the field. I’ve never heard one of you obvious leftwing pacifists, supposed veterans, ever address our soldiers as “brothers.”

By Liberal Texas Democrat July 12, 2006 01:04 PM In the 35 years I’ve been retired from the Army and done nothing to disguise scars from injuries to my head and neck, I’ve learned that comparisons of the combat-injured to persons mugged — or run over crossing the street — are to be expected.

You are consumed, both physically and mentally, by your emotions. Because of this you are endangering the lives of every man, woman and child that live in this country. You are giving aid, comfort and motivation to our enemies and they have taken advantage of your lack of resolve.

Your lack of courage.

It is beyond reason to use the deaths and suffering of the courageous young men that bravely volunteer to protect not only those too weak to protect themselves but also the citizens of Iraq from a barbaric, fanatical ideology of killers, killers that prove their lethality to us on a regular basis, by killing our innocents.

Our soldiers deserve our respect, our honor and our unquestioned resolve for their mission.

They don’t deserve some weak kneed back stabbing socialist fomenting acts of treason against them.

They don’t need your “help.”

My fellow Americans, I have a task for those with the courage and fortitude to take it. I have a message that needs not fall on deaf ears. A vision the blind need to see. I am not a political man nor one with great wisdom. I am just a soldier who finds himself helping rebuild a country that he helped liberate a couple years ago. I have watched on television how the American public questions why their mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters are fighting and dying in a country 9000 miles away from their own soil. Take the word of a soldier, for that is all I am, that our cause is a noble one. The reason we are here is one worth fighting for. A cause that has been the most costly and sought after cause in our small span of existence on our little planet. Bought in blood and paid for by those brave enough to give the ultimate sacrifice to obtain it. A right that is given to every man, woman, and child I believe by God.

Through the wide-scale distortion of words (from “Healthy Forests” to “Mission Accomplished”) and both the manipulation of media (the photo op) and its suppression (the hidden war casualties), the Bush administration has demonstrated disdain for the responsible use of mass media, language and the intelligence of the American people.

GWB has no aspirations of becoming another Hitler.

This guy seems well educated and laid back. I’ve said it before and I’m inclined to agree with him.

The European Union is a new political contraption, and we Europeans have the same problem in identifying it as does the United States. Is it a federal state in the making? Is it a confederation plus? I suggest it is an experiment in a form of governing a group of countries for which we have not yet found a name. And the same, I suspect, is true of the position of the United States in the world. So, illuminating though it is, the attempt to fit the United States into historical patterns of empire is ultimately misguided. The United States is not in transition from hegemony to empire. The world is in transition to new forms of political organization, whose outlines can be dimly perceived, but whose frontiers cannot yet be fixed.

It’s global growing pains. Everybody is experiencing them. It can’t be defined as anything else, but they are “nagging pains”.

This is no distant story. It holds a personal note for me, this possible gang rape and murder of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl by American soldiers. The story has been hitting the media for the past week and a half, and—as of today—the New York Times reports that six soldiers might be implicated.

The personal note is that I have been gang raped by American soldiers. (See my “War and Sex” article for my description of this experience in my past.) The cold fear of male violence never entirely leaves raped bodies. Unexpectedly, things surface, and this story is triggering those things in me—phantom rape pain, jumpiness, feeling startled if a man comes too near. Since I am used to reading about rape, living with it, writing about it, even experiencing it, why such an impact from this one incident?

It may be because this is the first time the “R” word has surfaced in Iraq. In our three-year occupation of that country, is this the only time our men have raped? Given their war/rape record elsewhere, it would be hard to believe. It is a real puzzler to me that the U.S. Military is admitting to this possible rape of one Iraqi girl when they have done little, if anything, to acknowledge the rapes of thousands upon thousands of other girls by our soldiers during wartime. Widespread violation of girls took place in Vietnam. (One vet I know said it was so common the men called it SIMR, Standard Issue Military Rape.) After WWII, rape by American soldiers in Europe was “extensive,” according to the Oxford Companion to American Military History. Rape of French girls by our men was so widespread that General Eisenhower actually had to acknowledge it was going on. He did nothing about it, of course, but he did admit it was happening. Our men produced roughly 200,000 Amerasian children upon the bodies of destitute Japanese girls after WWII—an indication that massive rape of prostituted/brothelized bodies was going on in the Pacific. During the battle of Okinawa, our boys raped a whole village of women and girls too sick and weak to even run away from them.

Wartime rape/prostitution is common, the norm. Why is the military only taking note of this one incident, when the bodies of hundreds of thousands of girls have been sexually brutalized by our military?…

and the rapists are cheered on here by conservatives. the filt

Andy-Whine, RW and other neo-con cohorts—

When you want to accuse Joe Wilson having “outed” his own wife, you should know that Robert Novak found Wilson’s wife’s name in “Who’s Who In America”, not the fact that she worked for the CIA. That revelation came from Karl Rove. And I’m sure you know this already and but will still continue to insinuate that Wilson “outed” his own wife.

How pathetic you small-minded little minions are!

A partial quote from Novak’s column today says:

“Following my interview with the primary source, I sought out the second administration official and the CIA spokesman for confirmation. I learned Valerie Plame’s name (emphasis added) from Joe Wilson’s entry in “Who’s Who in America”.”

Ricky,

isn’t it about time you gassed up the Mystery Machine?

How can you, of all people, call someone “partisan”?

Scrappy Doo is awfully offended.

My sincerest gratitude to Andy for the cut and paste lessons:

They were not good losers. So when they lost the White House in 1992 they began what would be an unrelenting and extended series of attacks on the Clinton presidency, which reached their peak when Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky was revealed in early 1998. At that time I began receiving an increasing number of requests for television interviews, and Silent Coup was all but forgotten publicly (and we were in settlement discussions). While I had no idea then whether the president was telling the truth about his relationship with Lewinsky, it was clear to me that the First Lady was correct in her contention that there was a vast right-wing conspiracy attempting to destroy the Clintons, for I still had a number of knowledgeable conservative contacts. Because each of the various scandals of the Clinton White House-the travel office firings, Whitewater, Vince Foster’s suicide, the Paula Jones lawsuit, and the Lewinsky affair-was predictably declared by Republicans to be “worse than Watergate,” I felt someone needed to set the record straight. In reality, these scandals, even collectively, did not come close to Watergate in their seriousness. So I began to speak out. I did not speak as a partisan, but rather as someone who understood the difference between the Clinton and Nixon scandals, as well as the gravity of impeachment. (I was well versed in this topic because I had once studied the impeachment and trial of Andrew Johnson, and, of course, had firsthand knowledge of the Nixon proceedings.)

Iraqi leader warns biased media outlets

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq’s prime minister warned television stations Wednesday against broadcasting reports that incite violence, saying he will not hesitate to shut them down.

The statement by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to Iraq’s parliament came amid an increase of biased reporting by Shiite and Sunni television stations that focus on the suffering of their communities — often with little mention of the other.

“Television channels, mosques, journalism, and people in the streets are all inciting in a way that this present government cannot control,” al-Maliki said.

That is an absolute lie. Your terrible experience does not give you the right to indict the whole military or conservatives.

Never have I read so many enemy inspiring falsehoods as Midori is putting out about American troops and conservative Americans.

The American military is vigorously investigating every report of rape. None are being overlooked. Any person who implies that rape is as common as basic training is speaking with a twisted mind.

According to the news, a 14 year old girl was raped in Iraq. The main participant has been arrested and others are being investigated.

A fourteen year old girl was raped in Atlanta last week. Does that mean that every man in Atlanta aims to rape fourteen year olds? NO, of course not. And the same goes in Iraq. A sociopath may turn up in any large group of people but it does not mean that ALL of them are that way.

Our troops are over there fighting to do what is right. For someone to sit at home and indict the whole group is criminal. The troops may think that everybody at home has gone crazy.

To unload the tragedies of life on a blog is very sad. A terrible experience. You need more help than we can give. But dumping on society and the military of our country will not help. (Calling me names will not help either.)

I guess you missed it the first time I posted it so I will try again.

A copy of Who’s Who sat on Henry’s anchor desk Thursday, leading some bloggers to speculate that Novak suspected Henry planned to ask him about Plame’s name in it and used Carville’s remarks as an excuse to walk out. That’s how Carville saw it. “Bob’s got a lot going on in his life, and that book was sitting on the desk like a barf bag, just waiting,” he said.

U.S. will give detainees Geneva rights

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration, called to account by Congress after the Supreme Court blocked military tribunals, said Tuesday all detainees at Guantanamo Bay and in U.S. military custody everywhere are entitled to protections under the Geneva Conventions.

White House spokesman Tony Snow said the policy, outlined in a new Defense Department memo, reflects the recent 5-3 Supreme Court decision blocking military tribunals set up by President Bush. That decision struck down the tribunals because they did not obey international law and had not been authorized by Congress.

This would be the usual Republican tactic, blame whatever it is on someone else. When Bush blames the mostly Republican Supremes though he is blaming only himself. Keep your eye on the ball, the Rovian slimemeisters are slicker than Slick Willy ! ! !

RW, From the National Journel:

*President Bush told the special prosecutor in the CIA leak case that he directed Vice President Dick Cheney to personally lead an effort to counter allegations made by former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV that his administration had misrepresented intelligence information to make the case to go to war with Iraq, according to people familiar with the president’s interview.

Bush told prosecutors he directed Cheney to disclose classified information that would not only defend his administration but also discredit Wilson.

Bush also told federal prosecutors during his June 24, 2004, interview in the Oval Office that he had directed Cheney, as part of that broader effort, to disclose highly classified intelligence information that would not only defend his administration but also discredit Wilson, the sources said.

But Bush told investigators that he was unaware that Cheney had directed I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, the vice president’s chief of staff, to covertly leak the classified information to the media instead of releasing it to the public after undergoing the formal governmental declassification processes.*

Straight from Bush’s mouth: “….but also discredit Wilson…” It seems, RW, that you don’t believe your own Fuhrer.

Agency recovers from computer break-ins

WASHINGTON - The State Department is recovering from large-scale computer break-ins worldwide over the past several weeks that appeared to target its headquarters and offices dealing with China and North Korea, The Associated Press has learned.

Investigators believe hackers stole sensitive U.S. information and passwords and implanted backdoors in unclassified government computers to allow them to return at will, said U.S. officials familiar with the hacking. These people spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the widespread intrusions and the resulting investigation.

Elderly to see hike in Medicare premiums

WASHINGTON - The elderly will face another double-digit rise in their Medicare premiums next year, resulting in monthly payments of nearly $100.

The projections assume that Congress will reduce Medicare payment rates for physicians by about 4.7 percent next year. Many analysts don’t believe such a cut will occur, and that means the cost of the insurance would go higher than current projections.

*Sorry, Mom and Dad, I didn’t know that when I voted for King George that I would be making it impossible for you to buy health insurance. The Chimperor Does have HIS priorities straight, though.

I believe in karma:

MSNBC’s studios in Washington are on Capitol Hill, not far from the Senate side of the Capitol building. A core group of on-air consultants were placed on various shows throughout the day, but during the impeachment hearings and the trial, a few of us were requested to stay on the set with the anchors as long as official proceedings continued. During the many hours I was in the studio or the green room, I probably spent more time talking with legal analyst Barbara Olson than anyone else. Barbara, who was tragically killed on the 9/11 flight that crashed into the Pentagon, was smart, savvy, engaging, and never shy, least of all in her opinion of the president and his wife. “I really hate the Clintons, and I want to run them out of town,” she told me. Barbara, who frequently made calls on her cell phone during breaks, made it impossible not to overhear her conversations, and she explained to me that she was receiving talking points from her network of conservative Republicans, who were observing all of the media’s coverage of the impeachment proceeding. “Do you really believe you can remove a popular president?” I asked her during the hearings. “Absolutely. It’s a done deal,” she said. “How about the Senate?” I asked. “We’re working on it,” she replied with a conspiratorial smile and a wink. I had little doubt, from the time I spent with Barbara, that votes had already been counted in the House of Representatives, and nothing was going to stop them from voting for impeachment. There were simply too many Democrats in the Senate, however, for the Republicans to muster the requisite two thirds for a guilty verdict and removal. The entire undertaking was designed to tarnish Clinton, and the Democrats.

Conservatives without conscience do not have horns and tails; if they did they would be easier to identify. Many of them can be quite pleasant, but at heart they are tough, cold-blooded, ruthless authoritarians. They are limited in their ability to see the world from any point of view other than their own, and they are narrow in their outlook. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are prototypical conservative leaders without conscience. The excessive secrecy of the Bush administration, in particular, was apparent even before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but because the mainstream media ignored this issue, I wrote about it myself in Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush. Unlike the consequences of Nixon’s secrecy, those of Bush and Cheney have been lethal. Realizing that only a partisan would remain silent, I wanted to make people aware of what was happening, for I recognized that this was a dangerous presidency. In Worse Than Watergate I did not analyze Bush and Cheney’s behavior, because I was not sure then what was driving them. However, after studying the matter, I believe that one can reasonably conclude that how they think, their policies, and their style of governing are based to an alarming extent on their own authoritarian personalities, which tolerate no dissent, use dissembling as their standard modus operandi, and have pushed their governing authority beyond the law and the Constitution.

Conservatism is not inherently moralistic, negative, arrogant, condescending, and self-righteous. Nor is it authoritarian. Yet all of these are adjectives that best describe the political outlook of contemporary conservatism. I make these observations not as an outsider, but as a conservative who is deeply troubled by what has become of a treasured philosophy. Conservatism has been co-opted by authoritarians, a most dangerous type of political animal.

What causes them to dispute Senator John Kerry’s valor during voluntary combat duty in Vietnam or to contest Representative Jack Murtha’s war record in Vietnam? Do they believe that by belittling the competence of White House counsel Harriet Miers, by forcing her to withdraw as a nominee for the Supreme Court, they are engaged in legitimate political debate? Why do they remain silent, or even defend, a president who has shamed the nation forever by endorsing an unprecedented and unnecessary use of torture against our enemies? These questions have clear answers. My aim is to explain how and why these conservatives operate as they do, with the thought that others may realize that this current breed of authoritarian conservatism, the behavior of both authoritarian leaders and their credulous followers, constitute a hazardous way for politics and governing. In fact, these people cannot be trusted to exercise the powers of government responsibly.

Zidane says Materazzi insulted mother and sister

PARIS (Reuters) - Zinedine Zidane said on Wednesday he was provoked into head-butting defender Marco Materazzi during the World Cup final because the Italian insulted his mother and his sister.

In an interview with French television channel Canal Plus Zidane also apologised to children and fans but did not regret the attack that led to his sending off.

The French captain reacted to the insult by ramming his head into Materazzi’s chest in the second period of extra time of the match that ended 1-1. Italy won on penalties.

“He (Materazzi) pulled my shirt several times and I told him that we could swap shirts at the end of the game if he wanted to,” Zidane said in the live interview.

“He, then, pronounced very tough words about my mother and my sister. I tried not to listen to him but he kept repeating them,” Zidane said.

Wasn’t Andykins telling us just yesterday about what a callous brute this “Frenchie” was. In Andy’s Republican multi-valued world, defending your Mother and Sister’s honor would be a BAD thing ! ! !

My post purports to show that ml and the liberal posters here are wrong. I’ve done it by showing the evidence. That is a quest for truth and not political in the least.

1) The Who’s Who book list the name Valerie Plame (Joe’s Wife by her Maiden name). this is not her CIA code name or some such stupid non-sense, and no where does the book list her work and duties with the CIA. This is why Carvelle and Crew were so ready to laugh in Robert Novak’s face at such absurdities. It does not exonerate those that actually did out Valerie Plame’s CIA job publicly. Karl and the mis-information office of Cheney were the ones that leaked Valeries job position (illegally) to the public. Doesn’t matter what the reason it was still illegal to release info of that nature.

2) Robert Novak had already testified, but that testimony was not made public until today. Today he announced that Karl Rove was a source (aka-leak). He did this because Karl Rove is now immune to further prosecution. So basically the guilty have gotten off scott free yet again. Looks like “Scooter Libby” will pay for all the sins of the PlameGate leakers.

3) This is not over yet as one other person who has not been named by Novak or the prosecutors is still listed as being involved. Hmmm now I wonder who that could be and why this person has been saved for last. Could it be that this leaker is very high up on the foodchain. That would be my reasons for waiting this long gathering conclusive facts as a prosecutor.

Now I have had the priveledge of having Robert Novak (and Stanton Evans) as journalism instructors before,- so I can speak with experience that this man is very shrewd when it comes to legal issues. I can actually understand him storming out of the CNN debate when such issues come up and he is under orders not to discuss current legal actions that he has testified at. That at least was good that he upheld his oath, even if he did it in a not so wise fashion.

Novak is very conservative and of course biased in his opinions and journalistic endeavors, but at the same time he has never said he was otherwise. That was what made Crossfire a great debate show as there were two sides of the fence truly debating real world issues rather than the garbage we see nowadays such as Hannity and others, that are nothing but Hacks and “Yellow Jo

If you read the text completely and follow the info you find that - Robert Novak states that {Karl Rove “Confirmed” that Joe Wilson’s “Wife” was the (CIA) operative that sent Wilson} on that infamous yellow cake fact finding mission (at the request of Cheney’s office).

At this point Novak knew it was Joe Wilson’s wife but not her name, So he did a simple search through the Who’s Who (and probably many other resources) as a good journalist would do, and got her actual name.

Actually - and categorically even - an unlawful act was committed in revealing a CIA operatives identity (for any reason) publicly as it is a national security issue. But by the events that transpired Fitzgerald has decided not to prosecute Karl Rove for his part in it. If you believe Novak’s statements (and I do) then in reality Karl was not the initial person that released the fact that Wilson’s wife was a CIA operative. According to Novak, Karl Rove only confirmed the information of what had already been told to Novak about Wilson’s wife, and it was further confirmed later by the CIA contact after Novak had aquired her name from the Who’s Who. That CIA contact had tried to convince Novak not to take it to press. But of course it was.

Whoever initially revealed Valerie’s job position in the CIA is the one that will eventually have to answer to a crime by the prosecutor, but that day may never come as we all know in the scheme of politics and government sometimes laws get ignored.

U.S. trade deficit increases in May

WASHINGTON - A record jump in the price of imported oil pushed the trade deficit to $63.8 billion in May, offsetting robust overseas sales gains by American companies.

On Wall Street, stocks dropped sharply after a separate report showed that weekly oil inventories fell to their lowest level since early March. That raised the prospect that the U.S. will have to import even more oil.

The price of foreign oil jumped by the largest amount since the run-up to the first U.S.- Iraq war in 1990, and America’s trade imbalance rose 0.8 percent from a revised April deficit of $63.3 billion, the Commerce Department said Wednesday.

The monthly deficit was the sixth-largest ever.

My fellow Americans, I have a task for those with the courage and fortitude to take it. I have a message that needs not fall on deaf ears. A vision the blind need to see. I am not a political man nor one with great wisdom. I am just a soldier who finds himself helping rebuild a country that he helped liberate a couple years ago. I have watched on television how the American public questions why their mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters are fighting and dying in a country 9000 miles away from their own soil. Take the word of a soldier, for that is all I am, that our cause is a noble one. The reason we are here is one worth fighting for. A cause that has been the most costly and sought after cause in our small span of existence on our little planet. Bought in blood and paid for by those brave e

(Ooops, Clarification, the words that ordinary citizens are expected to be shot down on America’s streets are not mine.)

But I liked this one. Plus I know it will drive you libs freakin crazy:

I find it hard to believe because no true soldier would ever consider abandoning their “brothers” in the field. I’ve never heard one of you obvious leftwing pacifists, supposed veterans, ever address our soldiers as “brothers.”

By Liberal Texas Democrat July 12, 2006 01:04 PM In the 35 years I’ve been retired from the Army and done nothing to disguise scars from injuries to my head and neck, I’ve learned that comparisons of the combat-injured to persons mugged — or run over crossing the street — are to be expected.

You are consumed, both physically and mentally, by your emotions. Because of this you are endangering the lives of every man, woman and child that live in this country. You are giving aid, comfort and motivation to our enemies and they have taken advantage of your lack of resolve.

Your lack of courage.

It is beyond reason to use the deaths and suffering of the courageous young men that bravely volunteer to protect not only those too weak to protect themselves but also the citizens of Iraq from a barbaric, fanatical ideology of killers, killers that prove their lethality to us on a regular basis, by killing our innocents.

Our soldiers deserve our respect, our honor and our unquestioned resolve for their mission.

They don’t deserve some weak kneed back stabbing socialist fomenting acts of treason against them.

They don’t need your “help.”

Attention Chavez loyalists,

Will someone please tell CITGO’s ad agency to cancel their advertising? This ad message is currently running on Fox News:

How do you measure a company? Do you look at where they’ve been? Do you look at what they’ve done?(1)

We’re looking forward to the future, providing steady, secure access to the largest liquid reserves in the Western Hemisphere for generations to come.(2)(3)

CITGO for the road ahead

(1)We don’t really mean that. We’re trying to put a pretty face on the fact that CITGO is controlled by a Communist dictator who loves Harry Belafonte and hates our American Republic.

(2) We will provide this essential fuel to generations to come if you agree to Chavez’ every demand, including getting someone prettier to kiss than that hideous toad, Mother Sheehan. Sharon Stone is a step in the right direction.

(3) We hope you noticed the part about “the largest liquid reserves” hint hint when we cut off the supply and hold you hostage.

Phil, my wife tells me you’ve been shooting off Steve’s mouth for him. If you want to put your money where Steve’s mouth is here’s the deal.

Make your check out to Operation USO Care Package for $1,000. Send it to Jim Wooten at the AJC. I’m sure his address is somewhere on this blog. I’ll notify him it’s on the way. He can contact me when it arrives. The AJC has my e-mail address with my name. The name on my DD214 has the same name. I’ll show up at Jim’s office with my DD214, VA I.D., pictures in country in uniform. I’ll take a check from you or anyone else who is up for the challenge. Otherwise you can shut the f*** up.

Let’s see who runs now a*****e.
