goodmorning ping
none dare call it what it is.....
but I'm not PC, so I will call it what it is.....
It's called TREASON
The President should talk about this!
He was giving Assad a heads up so the WMD could be moved so that the Democrats could use that politically down the line.Nah, Rockefeller is not THAT bright. But he was giving aid and comfort to a terrorist state. I suggest we have a congressional hearing look into this. This is far more dangerous for US security than the so called outting of Valerie Plame!
It might also be the reason we cannot find WMD's. Remember all those trucks reported to be travelling from Iraq to Syria BEFORE the war began?
From Joe Wilsons NYT editorial reprinted HERE
Coincidence in the timing?
"What was the second-ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee doing in Syria, a country which perennially finds itself among the top listings of terrorist-sponsoring nations, discussing President Bush's decision-making on the war on terror with Bashar Assad, one of the worst sponsors of terror in the months after 9/11?"
What's the problem? He was being a traitor and helping the enemies of the US to the utmost of his abilities. Just acting in solidarity with the struggling masses around the globe who oppose oppressive US power. Nothing unusual for a Democrat.
If the story was newsworthy, it could be a problem. But it is not. The MSM is very busy and has too many other more important things to cover.
Unless Senate Republicans started talking about it...
Yes, but will the Administration keep this up. Just one or two frontal attacks and the dems are knocked completely off balance. Just imagine what would happen if the attacks came on a regular basis.
In my opinion, when the subject is national security, even the Iraq War, the dems lose everytime, well, at least when they are actively engaged on the issue. The President, understandably, concluded that since Iraq was THE issue during election 2004, it was settled. Thus, he thought he could turn the topic to something else. He was wrong and the only reason, the sole reason the dems have gained any traction to bash Bush over Iraq is because the Administration stopped fighting the issue.
Now the dems put themselves out on the national security limb. It is high time the President sawed it off.
BUSTED!!! These arrogant sacks of puke! I want to know when charges are going to be brought against Rockefeller for this malfeasance in office. No member or head of any committee in congress has the authority to deal directly with foreign governments - unless authorized by the country's administration - as in a delegation.
If this isn't TREASON - then what is it ..??
Before anyone uses the excuse that Rocky was just talking about something everyone else was talking about, there's a big difference between two people discussing the possibility of war over a couple of beers and a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee talking about the same thing with a sworn enemy of the United States.
I'm going back to being apolitical...I had much lower blood pressure then. This stuff is infuriating!
This story just leaves me dumbfounded. Does no one else in the media see that Rockefeller did something wrong? How can the people who get so excited over Wilson and Plame not be all over this? Am I the crazy one?
I'm making an Online Petition...here is what I have so far if anybody would like to give ideas for the final draft.
Whereas U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller(D) has admitted openly and publically to providing information to Syria, a Baathist ally of the former dictator of Iraq (Saddam Hussein) which may have enabled Iraq to prepare against the actions of the United States government to hold Iraq accountable under mulitiple resolutions of the United Nations and for Hussein's personal actions of harboring, aiding and comforting terrorists...(See admissions below)
----ROCKEFELLER: "No. I mean, this question is asked a thousand times and I'll be happy to answer it a thousand times. I took a trip by myself in January of 2002 to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, and I told each of the heads of state that it was my view that George Bush had already made up his mind to go to war against Iraq, that that was a predetermined set course which had taken shape shortly after 9/11."
Whereas U.S. Senator Jay Rockerfeller had given his opinion to Syria of the impending military actions against Syria's ally, dictator Saddam Hussein and his regime in Iraq, which he gleaned through his position as a United States Senator WHOM HAVING ACCESS TO NATIONAL SECURITY DOCUMENTS THROUGH WHICH HIS OPINION MAY HAVE BEEN FORMED and through such actions precipitated the creation of a more dangerous situations for our Armed Forces...
Wheras through U.S. Senatory Jay Rockerfeller's actions and the misuse of Nation Security Intelligence, we the People of the United States of America IMPLORE and EMPOWER you, worthy protectors of the Constitution of the United States of America, to disallow U.S. Senator Jay Rockerfeller of the privleges of his seat as a U.S. Senator, bring charges against him for Sedition and Treason and hold formal inquiries to plumb the depths of his actions against the Constitution of the United States
The day after look who showed up according to the following as noted in this post under .....
"Rockefeller, for his part, neglected to mention the trip at the time, although he did issue press releases about his meeting with Saudi leaders on the same junket (as noted by the blogger Dinocrat)."

Al-Assad confers with the US Senate delegation
Syria-USA, Politics, 1/9/2002
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad at the Damascus al-Shaab palace on Tuesday received W Owens and members of the US Senate: Richard Durban, David Price and Jim Dives and members of their accompanying delegation. The meeting was attended by the Deputy Premier and foreign minister Farouk al-Shara and the US ambassador in Damascus Theodore Qattouf.
Rockefellers (Standard Oil) have owned and operated Saudi for a hundred years. It is their ME fiefdom.
He's a traitor....needed Saddam to hide his WMD....this is being investigated by the senate. Wonder if anything will come of this investigation!!!??? Doubt it...
