Go to this thread, 10th paragraph down.

He was a Clinton appointed judge, too.

".....why isn't the administration touting it?....."

My take: Because for 10 years we had to listen to the media and the Democrats jab George the 1st for NOT going "all the way to Baghdad".

Well, now we're there..........and all they can do is bitch and do everything within their power to undermine our effort.

Are we ready to take on the pot-bellied little smiling scumbag? Not yet, unless we just want to nuke the place. All in good time.

Nonetheless, knowing our media, if more is made of this they will ask us TO DO something before we're ready...........and then bitch about it afterword.

To Kozak (#44): All of the above.

All in good time, my pretty, all in good time.

We'll see. I have trouble believing the administration would endure the hits it has been taking for the past few months without revealing this.

It's possible, though. Popularity polls in May don't mean squat.

Thanks a million! BTTT!!!

"... I will google and see if I can find it."

Thanks! I hope you do find it.

"Keep you powder dry until October."

That late and it will not be accepted by the public; will be seen as no more than grabbing at straws; the Dems will make sure.

They will make sure no matter when this hits; but if this is true. . .October, too late IMHO.

[Matchett-PI]

Ping! BTTT!!!

[Matchett-PI]

Thanks!

Do you have a link to the FULL article? All I am getting is the fox.com main website, and I can't find the article listed...

[Matchett-PI]

"Well, this is very interesting, indeed! But why is this coming to light now? Why hasn't the White House said anything about this? Why did Mr. Loftus wait until now to mention this story in public? How can this be proved? If it is true, thank God!"

It was mentioned months ago.

"Same reason they're not touting the OKC connections to Iraq."

Am beginning to wonder really. . .yes, we know these things to be true; and we wait. . .and wait for the Administration to come out with the 'truth' and save our day; and they do not come; in fact, with regard to the 'subject matter'; they are often no where in sight.

OKC stuff out there for how long; not long after it happened; almost everything we 'think' we know now; was being pushed around the internet then. But to what(?) - it did not stop an execution; and has yet to reframe the OKC disaster by a Liberal margin of one.

I remain. . .just disgusted by our expectations; and the failure that meets them.

"...can you put back what was trimmed ...?"

It's BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!:)

"Thanks for the work on the transcript. Heard some of this a few weeks ago on WMAL in DC. Nice to get more details."

You're welcome. This has been percolating in the background for some time now. The media keeps people focusing on what THEY determine they should think about. Most people think that what they're being spoon fed is "the news".

[aft_lizard]

The only thing I can find on it is a passing reference to it on a blog. I searched Discovery Channel and I cant find it there.

[lonevoice]

Thanks for providing your transcript. This is quite interesting, and devastating to the left, if true. Obviously it would be to the benefit of Bush's campaign to reveal this info. I hope it's true because it's a win/win for America. But, if Loftus remains the only source in the coming months, I'd question his credibility.

The only reference I found was at

Excerpt:
First, I would like to bring your attention to a show on the Discovery Channel called Covert Action. On Wednesday January 14th, they aired an episode called Rat Hole. The show claims to be a re-enactment of true, covert episodes that at one point were labeled Top Secret. This episode details events in February of 2003 in which a US Navy Seal team is inserted into Libya to break up a meeting between a top Iraqi intelligence official and numerous terrorist operatives. Mission envelopes were handed out to the terrorists before the Seal team got the go-ahead to neutralize the target, which they did. Included in the plots were Seattle, American installations in Paris and assassinations of Iraqi exiles due to return to Iraq after Saddam had been disposed. I remind you that the show claims to based on real events and the producer is an ex CIA officer who has produced shows before which I know to be true and accurate. No information seems to be available on Operation Rat Hole anywhere. If you get a chance to catch a re-run I would recommend it.

I have tried googling various options from operation rat hole, covert action: rat hole and other such nuances, looks like unless Discovery plays the show again I would have to purchase the dvd.

I hope so. I just get the feeling sometimes that we are going to get screwed. It seems like W is counting on us bailing him out. I hope they are building a mountain to dump on the rats.

re: "How can this be proved? "

I think that's the reason it's not been touted by the administration. The press and the liberals would just brand it another 'Bush lie' and well over half the American population would buy the line hook, line and sinker from the mainstream press and we'd have yet another myth on our hands to contend with anytime it came up. It also would not surprise me if they aren't storing up some good news to be released prn, like a little nearer the election. Regardless, I agree with you that if it's true then a hearty "Thank God" is in order!

"Yep, Saddam was OUTSOURCING!"

LOL!!! BTTT!
