"Some may be handing me a tinfoil, about now..."
nah, thanksgiving is around the corner and i need the foil to cook other turkeys (smile). i believe that there are strategies to do this sort of thing. however, i believe that this only plays out if democrats are in office, and then, the chance of it happening is small. while there have been administrative screw ups (esp the arbitrary wall set up by clinton), our cia agents are on our side, albeit working with a handicap cause of democratic policies. these are slowly but surely being addressed by bush (and unfortunately used as political fodder by his shameless opponent.
Not a death warrant, so much as a last will and testament.
Who really knows what goes on in the Slavic mind? Was it Churchill who said that the two silliest statements he ever heard were:'Alcohol doesn't get me drunk' and 'I understand the Russians'.
Russians can handle any hardship, other than ridicule. That makes them a little crazy. They will do anything, waste billions on make-believe fleets, just to impress. A hundred baks in your pocket? Who cares about tomorrow, let's buy some Armani knock-offs.
The conventional line about Russia is from Tyutchev:
Many might characterize them better with a poem from Igor Guberman:
Who is this Morton Halperin? Any relation to Mark Halperin of ABC Memo fame?
Yes, the Mark and Morton are VERY related!!!
From FrontPageMag.com:
Mark Halperins idea of what is right may be what is Left. He was born in 1965 in Bethesda, Maryland, the red-diaper baby of hard-Left-connected controversial foreign policy specialist Morton Halperin. This fact reveals an entire Left-spin universe in which Mark grew up exposed to his fathers comrades and radical ideas.
Morton Halperin today is Senior Vice President of the left-wing Center for American Progress (CAP) and Director of the Open Society Policy Center established by eccentric billionaire international financier George Soros.

"Ahhhh! So that explains who put the "Dip" in Dipshit...Thanks"
Anytime.
I had no idea some of this stuff was going on within the CIA and the agencies/think tanks recruiting from the CIA. We just CANNOT let Kerry win.

The Americans were represented by former CIA director William Colby and former deputy director Ray Cline.12 As CIA station chief in Rome during the 1950s, Colby had directed the CIA apparatus to work closely with Italian Communists. While on assignment in Vietnam, Colby had secretly maintained contact with a probable KGB agent without notifying his bosses at CIA; upon being named CIA director in 1974, Colby promptly fired the counterintelligence officers who investigated him for that suspicious contact. Also in 1974, while still director of the CIA, Colby participated in the founding conference of the CNSS-alongside various Communists and assorted radicals.13
Colby and Seymour Hersh also conspired to get James Angleton removed from CIA counterintelligence because his hardline anti-Communism was deemed too conservative and antithetical to the spirit of "detente". This occurred shortly after the left-wing element in the Agency had used a mole in the FBI named William Sullivan to undermine J. Edgar Hoover's access to the Nixon White House, which was followed up (after Hoover's death) by the Watergate scandal and Nixon's removal. The Church and Pike Committee's gutting of the intelligence community, which the Institute for Policy Studies assisted via several of the individuals mentioned in the article, followed on the heels of this. For additional commentary on the breakdown of the intelligence community which emerged subsequent to these developments, I'd recommend:
Professor W. Raymond Wannall, "Undermining Counterintelligence Capability"
The assault on what was considered to be basic rights has been tremendous. While some groups allegedly gained equality, all lost basic rights, and even more dangerously, the understanding of what basic rights are and what they should be.
Pull someone out of the 1950's with a time machine, and they would choke at the average homeowners' association agreement, much more so at things which invade the privacy and reduce the liberty of every citizen which people today take for granted. (Abortion on demand, Teachers demanding children be drugged and parent jailed or losing custody for noncompliance, noKnock searches, DUI checkpoints, seatbelt laws, gun control, waiting periods, Echelon, Carnivore, et. al., would boggle the mind.)
>>>With regards to North Korea, it remains to be seen what side he'll come down on.
I did find articles that lend the impression that Putin is top negotiator on keeping N. Korea in check.
Yeah, to bad Putin keeps coming out for Bush, oh but that's just a dasterdly plot by the NKVD or is it Chevka to reverse psychology Americans into voting for Kucinich.
Welcoming GIJoel's latest incarnation I see. Same types of articles from the same sources. So predictable.
Ahh Anna Politkovskaya, the Soros, Friends of Gore and EU's favorite journalist. And she has such pretty words for Bush too.

Can you post articles from this century, GIJoel aka Luis Gonzoles, aka etc?
These facts get in the way which is why it works much better to post from ten or more years ago. Haldol alerts should accompany these posts.
