The media is doing a news blackout about Sandy Berger.
All the President's Memos; Let's all see what Sandy Berger was NOT trying to hide.
The whole thing is an election......." Wag-The-Dog!"
:-(
I have thought for a while that the 9/11 Report needed to be re-done (at least in part) because of what ever is found out about Berger's document theft. How can the Report writers say that the Report is complete knowing that Berger kept documents from them?
Tom Dean is the penultimate RINO charlatan. Is is the living embodiment that "liberal = dishonest."
Tom Dean = Tom Kean
I don't think anyone knows what Berger might have take, destroyed, and/or doctored and returned. And what if Berger wasn't the only one doing this? The Toon papers in the Archive are now worthless.
The penultimate paragraph also provides a window on the Clinton administration mindset:
"Toward that end we can't help but note page 134 of the Commission report, which documents a proposal early in 1999 to send a U-2 mission over Afghanistan to gather intelligence on where bin Laden was hiding out. Mr. Clarke objected on the grounds that Pakistani intelligence would tip bin Laden off that the U.S. was planning a bombing mission. "Armed with this knowledge," the Commission quotes Mr. Clarke as saying, "old wily Usama will likely boogie to Baghdad." Is that the same secular Baghdad that we are told would never cooperate with Islamist al Qaeda?"
The rat party lies endlessly and poses an extreme danger to our national security.
I agree with the sentiment. However, might I suggest that the word "penultimate" doesn't mean "the ultimate ultimate"? I believe it's more like "that which comes before the ultimate."
I think penultimate means the very last thing.
I took a theology class in college titled "Ultimate Questions," and the end of the semester dealt with penultimate questions. The very ultimate of the ultimate, if you will. I may be wrong. That was a long time ago.
Dictionary, anyone?
An article I read yesterday said the WH might declassify the final revision of the Millenium Report (which the 9/11 Commission referenced)..
Unfortunately, it is probably not possible to release draft versions of that document because among those were ones that were "inadvertently" stuffed, eaten, discarded, etc.
The media needed a "missing woman." They found one, and are focusing all their cameras on her, rather than the real news.
The media must enjoy shilling for the Clintons and their minions....remember the infamous 60 Minutes Clinton lie-a-thon which launched their unfortunate presidency?
Media silence on the Sandy Berger sox-stuffing incident is deafening.
Actually the word has been misused so frequently that I'm sure it will eventually evolve to mean "the ultimate ultimate," although I was always told you can't qualify a superlative. I mean, the ultimate is the ultimate! You can't get any more ultimate than the ultimate!
Yeah, Sandy neeeded a snack.......probably washed the secrets down with Mountain Dew. LOL.
Yes, penultimate does mean the next to the last - in other words, there's a WORSE one?
There's a few RINOS out there we could do without.....like Mayor (gag) Bloomberg.
