I realize “intelligence” is lacking and Duh-bya doesn’t read newspapers, but I hope somebody tells the White House that the Brits are pulling out of Iraq. The wheels on the “coalition” are coming off.

Duh-bya made a commitment to fire the leaker. No doubt he’ll make good on that promise. They are just trying to figure out who leaked first.

“The reader knows and guesses the rest. It is all in keeping with this incredible and yet veracious story. Poor, unhappy Erik! Shall we pity him? Shall we curse him? He asked only to be “some one,” like everybody else. But he was too ugly! And he had to hide his genius OR USE IT TO PLAY TRICKS WITH, when, with an ordinary face, he would have been one of the most distinguished of mankind! He had a heart that could have held the empire of the world; and, in the end, he had to content himself with a cellar. Ah, yes, we must needs pity the Opera ghost.”

What a blooming idiot, I’m sorry for such “divisive” language but Peter deserves it.

“While the United Kingdom is maintaining a robust force in southern Iraq, we’re pleased that conditions in Basra have improved sufficiently that they are able to transition more control to the Iraqis,” Johndroe said.

The withdrawal is proof of success, it takes a total numbnut to spin it any other way.

Peter,

Maybe you don’t read the newspapers either. SOME of the British troops are leaving Basra because the Iraqis are taking over security in that city. That was the goal in the beginning.

As to your second misinformation, don’t worry too much about the leaker. It was Armitage and he said so. He has long been gone. Fitzgerald went ahead and investigated anyway. Maybe you should tell the phantom of the AJC, Luckovich. He is still trying to blame Bush and Chaney just like you.

Does America deserve the truth from this administration? Or do we continue to let them spread their lies and propaganda and say, “oh well, it’s all a political game, this government stuff”? What do we teach our children about our government????

“Don’t you think the American people are entitled to a straight answer?” Mr. Fitzgerald asked of the jury. He said that “a critic points fingers at the White House and as a result his wife gets dragged into the newspapers.” He said Mr. Libby “made a gamble, he threw sand in the eyes of the grand jury” rather than tell the truth and risk being prosecuted for leaking her name.

I say we bring back our American values, where we are the shining light to other countries with our transparent government, and news-reporting that is unattached to any government entity.

Dusty-brain, you propagandist— Armitage was the source for Robert Novak’s column, but Dick “No Doubt” Cheney is the one who leaked the info to Scooter, KKK Rove and Armitage to begin with. They were all leaking the information from Cheney’s instructions! Scooter’s and Rove’s leaks did not ever get publicized… that’s the difference you loonies keep wanting to skip over! If Judith Miller had decided to print the leak she heard from Scooter’s lips, or if Ari Fleischer had decided to spill the beans after talking with Scooter, the timeline would have been even sooner that Novak’s column.

Mrs. Godzilla 8:53

Amazing what passes for “news sources,” isn’t it? Most are a mix of some fact and a lot of partisan opinion. They can lead to original sources, or at least to an accurate lead on “first events” - such as Fitzgerald’s request to expand the investigation and the authorization letter; the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982; or the timeline showing the first allegation that Ms Plame was “covert” was from Mr. Wilson, not from the investigative reporters or the responsible government agency.

At times, though, legitimate news sources get it wrong and are tarnished - even though the “story” was traced back to the wire service (AP, for instance) from which the newspaper (and the affiliated web site) pulled the story.

Clinton was impeached by the House and then not convicted in the Senate. This is similar to being charged with a crime and found not guilty in court. (Although Clinton later admitted his guilt)

Goldilocks, Peter, and others -

One more time, very s-l-o-w-l-y for you:

Victoria Toensing, who wrote the law the criminalized the outing of covert agents, says that Plame’s status did not meet the parameters.

Moreover, if you read my 9:34, you’ll see that Bush did not know that Armitage was the leaker because the State Department kept that fact secret.

Now, since Armitage no longer works there, how can Bush fire him? Armitage left his post when Powell resigned at the beginning of Bush’s second term in office.

Wow. Sen Reid said “We’re not about to leave our military in Iraq or Afghanistan or anyplace else without the equipment or materials they need. … We’re talking about a redeployment, not having all the troops come home tomorrow.”

So, we’re going to leave or military in Iraq. We’re going to move them around Iraq (redeployment - or maybe to some other Arab country who will welcome more American troops with open arms?) and they’re not coming home ‘tomorrow’ - or, by inference, anytime soon.

Isn’t this essentially the same ‘strategy’ for which they were critizing the Adminstration a few short months ago?

Very good question Paul. The obvious answer is that Dick Cheney at that time wielded so much power that anything other than his agenda had no chance whatsoever. Since Nov 06, Cheney’s influence is almost gone. Paul Wolfowitz is gone. Scooter Libby is gone. Douglas Feith, gone. Donald Rumsfeld, gone. The neo-cons are just about extinct now.

Amy,

Tell me, what does your ProFessor say about General Petreus?

Since he was unanimously approved by the Senate, and is THE expert on insurgencies, do you want to let him do his job, or do you want Murtha and Reid to stand in his way?

This should be very easy for you - it only requires a yes or no answer, with no essay question.

“Bush” putting the “CON” in Neo-con. Douglas Feith! You’re kidding me. Do you recall what General Tommy Franks said about Feith? Remember, Feith was the guy vetted by the Heritage Foundation to be the Right-Wing Whack Job Honcho in Iraq. He was the high priest just under Rummy. When they fired Garner they put Feith in charge. He was the political commissar. General Franks said he was: “The dumbest mother-fvcker on the planet earth!”

BTW, he is also charged with obstruction of justice in this non-crime.

Where have I heard the pairing of those two charges before? Oh yes, I remember! When Billy Jeff is charged with those things it’s shameless prosecutorial misconduct. I guess you uber-libs have no principles after all.

Just because I used my psychic powers to determine that you are under the sway of Leftist proFessors is no reason for you to make unsubstantiated allegations.

So Buy Danish. Since you are the enlightened one here, please tell us why these guys didn’t have a plan for after the “victory”. Did they not think that we would not win? That seems to be the only logical reason no one that there was no plan for after the “victory”. Did these guys think that we would just topple Saddam and the Iraqis would go off and build a stock market? Did they for one minute consider that these people would loot everything in site? Nope. Did they consider that ethnic or tribla fighting would ensue? Doesn’t look that way. Did they consider that maybe if we came in and said that we were in charge that maybe the Iraqis would expect us to be in charge? Maybe provide electricity, food, running water? Nope. It appears that all these neo-cons had was a theory. Maybe a domino theory in reverse…topple Saddam and everything else will fall into place. About as sound as the original domino theory. Except that in dominos the first first one’s got to fall forward. As a result the neo-con’s famed “decapitation” strategy failed to “decapitate” so now we have roving bands of his loyalists running around killing more Americans AFTER Bush declared victory than we lost during the “war”. So Buy Danish. Why don’t you enlighten us on the sheer brilliance of that “plan”?

It is not “ignorant” to let General Petreus do his job - a job he outlined in great detail for Congress in order to get his nomination approved.

But Snow declined to say what actions would be taken, referring inquiries to the Pentagon.

I guess the new mantra from the Repugnants is “don’t support our troops — support the surge instead!”

I know Paul, in retrospect maybe Dr Doom is right, RE is a confusing name.

All this classification stuff is interesting to me. Obviously there are things that need to be secret, but it seems like anything potentially embarassing is classified along with many legally questionable policies and practices.

Do you think that something should be classified because it may be embarassing to the administration?

Example: the friendly fire cockpit tapes for the A-10 that strafed a UK armor column and killed a soldier. Should that have remained classified or should it ever have been classified?

RE

I do know after the Pentagon Papers case we had new law and procedures for initially classifying information, with revised procedures for determining whether or not information should remain classified, and for how long. Much of it was predicated specifically to evaluate whether or not the classification was requested to prevent embarrassment - that’s a big red flag.

Granted, gov’t agencies, as with anything else, have their own procedures. I was referring to DoD.

The A-10 case - I’d imagine that was done until the investigation was complete. It was just like the papers cited in the Plame case - if only one bit of information contained therein is classified, the entire document is classified. In this case - I’m speculating - their could have one or two element that needed safeguarding. But even then, when the investigation was completed, I understand DoD didn’t want to release the tape. They should have. They could have released the tape and blanked anything compromising. There was just too much interest to the families to put them off.

My concern is where media report classified programs - as with one debated here, here it turns out the program was authorized, there were Congressional and judicial safeguards, the procedures were being followed, yet the information is still revealed. That is troubling. I’m not convinced many “public servants” in the media are any less self-serving than some government employees who would want to classify information to prevent embarrassment.

I think it is a stretch to say the warrentless wiretaps that did not go through FISA were legal. Evidenced by the fact that Gonzales has stated they will no longer be done.

I have a lot of respect for Rudy. I used to live in NJ and watched him rise up from AG to mayor, and he was a much better mayor than Koch or Dinkins. Being mayor of a city of 8 million to me is more of an accomplishment than being governor of most states. I think only 9 states have a population greater than 8 million.

I believe that program is continuing - FISA fully involved (I never did figure out if avoiding timelines with FISA was willful or plain sloppy) - I don’t think much was changed except now they’re following original procedures.

But, even if a program was followed to the letter, every “i” dotted and every “t” crossed - I still wouldn’t put it past a reporter to “expose” it for pure professional self interest.

Paul, I am pretty sure that when you are dealing with the FISA law, when you are not following the original procedures, it means you are not following the law, hence, illegal.

Reporters will try to make the most sensational story possible, that is true. I do not think repoters/ editors would let out a story that compromised national security. It winds up being a judgement call by the editors, and they usually do go to the whitehouse/ govt prior to a stories release to inform them and for advice.

Maybe there ought to be a licence for journalists, something that can be recinded and standards that need to be followed. Tricky question.

Good clarification at paragraph one. I was using “illegal” more in sense of nonauthorized, rogue programs, not if procedures are “illegal” in a “legal” program. Nice distinction.

You “licensing” thought has merit - but would be fought all the way.

Right after Panama/Noriega DoD wanted to improve relations with media, maintain operational security yet get some transparency out to the public - forerunner of “embedded journlists.” Media agreed no advance notice - they’d get notified, get to the staging area, get briefed, get on their way, then when operation was underway they’d get cleared to release. Can you guess what happened? First time, media assembled, got briefed - and most promptly called in the story, including location and timetables. Turns out it was an exercise. Journalists were madder than mad - stories that ran were “Pentagon Deception” type. After things settled down they tried again.

NEW YORK—At a well-attended rally in front of his new Ground Zero headquarters Monday, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani officially announced his plan to run for president of 9/11.

“My fellow citizens of 9/11, today I will make you a promise,” said Giuliani during his 18-minute announcement speech in front of a charred and torn American flag. “As president of 9/11, I will usher in a bold new 9/11 for all.”

If elected, Giuliani would inherit the duties of current 9/11 President George W. Bush, including making grim facial expressions, seeing the world’s conflicts in terms of good and evil, and carrying a bullhorn at all state functions.

“Let us all remember how we felt on that day, with the world watching our every move, waiting on our every word,” said Giuliani, flanked by several firefighters, ex-New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, and Judith Nathan, his third wife. “With a campaign built on traditional 9/11 values, and with the help of every citizen who believes in the 9/11 dream, I want to make 9/11 great again.”

Why didn’t the Democrats say that if they were elected they would V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W-L-Y try to get something done when they were campaigning? All they kept saying was that it would take 100 hours to create a world wide utopia.

Danny: 5 minutes ago you were hysterical and tearing at your clothes even though we do have a rep president and a dem congress, what gives?

Rudy Guiliani endorsed Ralph Reed — yes, the lying, plagerizing, Christian hypocrite sleazebag extraordinaire Ralph Reed — in the Republican Lt. Gov. primary here last year.

So much for Rudy’s rep as Mr. Integrity.

Andy, RW: You’re ganging up. They did what they said they would do. Where’s the beef? Look, this isn’t new stuff, here. “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” The past six years have not been good for America. November was a breath of fresh air. Our democracy is working. What IS a schlepp?

Daniel,

At the risk of scaring you back into another three month sabbatical by having the temerity to ask you a question on a public freaking blog and making you think you’re being ganged up on, they have done exactly ZIP!

While you Leftist excoriate Rudy because he scandalously endorsed Ralph Reed (SAY IT AIN’T SO!!!), here’s more from Ann on John “Slow Bleed/Fast Bribe” Murtha.

The ever-helpful media exposed the Abscam investigation before it could be completed, and consequently we were deprived of the possibility of seeing Murtha on tape stuffing cash in his trousers like the other Democratic congressmen (and one “moderate” Republican) convicted in the Abscam investigation. Or, as Al Gore used to call such a fund-raising procedure, “community outreach.”

But Murtha was willing to trade favors in return for investment in his district — and suggested he might take cash down the line. In other words, Murtha wasn’t calling for an immediate surrender of his scruples and principles, but rather a phased withdrawal of them.

About a month after the taped meeting with Murtha, the co-conspirator, lawyer Howard L. Criden, wrote in his affidavit: “Yesterday, Feb. 1, (Democrat Congressman Frank ‘Topper’) Thompson called and told me that Murtha was ready to go,” adding that Murtha had indicated “during January that he was not ready to do business but would be willing to do so in the future.”

Criden said: “Congressman Murtha of Pennsylvania would be willing to enter into an agreement similar to that of the other congressmen” — i.e., taking $50,000 cash from the sheiks for legislative favors.

Criden’s affidavit went unsigned, according to his lawyer, Richard Ben-Veniste, solely because of the resulting publicity when the press blew the investigation, leading Criden to believe the prosecutors had broken the deal.

RW: I was gone a year. I took a year off. Now. Now. We’re a bit testy. What htey’ve done is not be republicans. That is a good thing. They’ve held over 50 hearings on Iraq. The R’s had none. They’ve passed a resolution opposing additional troops. They’re talking about cutting funding for an illegal war. They’ve elected a female Speaker. The R’s are in trouble. They have lost the independents. Webb beat Allen. You may not like that but it’s hardly ZIP.

Say, does anyone have this photo?

Lawsuit Over Topless Aniston Photo

I would like to offer it to rushncrap as a token of “friendship.”

It would be like a blind date, sort of.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Daniel,

Gone for a year eh? We hardly missed you, but you have a strange idea of a year because POT TO KETTLE was published at the end of June and you were over here telling luckovich how wonderful he was for portraying our soldiers as Al Qaeda thugs. In fact I think you whined the entire month.

Out of your list of great accomplishments the only one that’s true is Air Pelosi being named Speaker, but we knew that before the elections.

LuckoDull,

Is there supposed to be a puppy in the Anniston picture?
