Congress to restrict use of Special Ops (The full story not just a teaser on Drudge!)

Washington Times ^ | 8/13/2003 | Bill Gertz

[Grampa Dave]

Congress is set to impose new restrictions on the use of Special Operations Forces that for the first time will require a presidential order before deploying commandos in routine but hidden activities.

The restrictions are contained in the classified Senate report accompanying the current version of the intelligence authorization bill for fiscal 2004.

[Grampa Dave]

How much did the Opecker Thugs and Princes have to pay the rats in congress to even consider this.

Ann Coulter describes the Rats in Congress in her new book, Treason.

[risk]

Are they considering adding the Senate Armed Services commitee to the list of those to be notified? *shudder*

[thegreatbeast]

I said it in an earlier thread: This (change) ain't gonna happen. Not even Howard Dean or Shirley Jackson Lee can argue that Special Ops are a terrific bang for the buck. They couldn't even sell emasculating this option in Moscow.

[Grampa Dave]

If the rats in Congress are ever exposed to any covert or intel operation before they start, these operations are doomed to failure. They will sell that information to our enemies for another black hawk down fiasco.

[Pikamax]

Well this will make our forces better.pfft

[Howlin]

This makes my head really, really hurt.

[Grampa Dave]

The problem is our SpecOps are too efficient and have too much bank for the buck.

So we can expect Generals and Admirals who are being forced out of a cushy job to ally with the rats to try and deball our Spec Ops.

[Mo1]

If the rats in Congress are ever exposed to any covert or intel operation before they start, these operations are doomed to failure

Exactly !!

[Grampa Dave]

I want to see which congressits and $inators are trying push this through.

[Humidston]

Mr. Rumsfeld told Congress in February that the Bush administration is expanding the use of Special Operations Forces and has added $1.5 billion to its budget and nearly 2,000 more troops.

....And it made the Rats soooo jealous that they're now demanding he get their permission to deploy Spec. Ops.

(Not to mention $1.5B cuts into their welfare schemes!)

[maui_hawaii]

Dear DoD:

CC: Congress

I, being the afore mentioned President of the United States, in accordance with article #, of said law do hereby authorize covert special actions in the country of Iraq.

Signed,

GW Bush, President

[Fledermaus]

Oh, so now here you are posting the facts after telling me Drudge is just a rumor monger and gets things "wrong".

[ClancyJ]

What a creative move by our anti-America politicians (our in government enemies). This way there would be no secret Special Ops because any operation has to go through the Congress and therefore direct to America's enemies.

How do they plan to insure that the committee or whatever that gets these advisories from the president are loyal Americans voted in by the American public and entrusted with the defense of America? How do they rule out "moles" or subversive anti-American politicians that have worked their way into the seat of our government, into this particular governmental committee and therefore a direct pipeline to our enemies?

I can just hear it now - "What- you mean Rep Jones (Muslim activist who now is in the Congress) cannot sit on that committee?? That is discrimination - all government positions should be open to all representatives no matter their religion, their beliefs, their loyalties".

[PhilDragoo]

I want to see which congressits and $inators are trying push this through.

Measure killed in committee. . .man, that's gonna leave a mark. . . .

[dts32041]

My bet it was snowe who voted with the rats. Look at her and image her with a conical hate.

Besides she has slept with a small unimportnat state govenor much as the hildebeast has.

[Grampa Dave]

Every rat in your two replies is a suspect re this BS.

[Hugin]

Hmmm, last I checked the Pubs ran the Senate. What are they thinking? Dubya should make it clear he will veto this appropriation bill if it contains this restriction.

[Grampa Dave]

You nailed it Clancy.

The rats under Carter started deballing and hamstringing our CIA until it became a Diversity Quilting Party.

As you noted, this could happen to all potential covert ops if the Rats in Congress got involved.

[ClancyJ]

Just think what the Saudis could do with their bribes and this committee. What about Bin Laden and his funds? What about a Hillary on that committee who cares only for her own power and who would sell America to the highest bidder?

The fact that such a proposal is being made is downright scary to me. I now worry.

[Grampa Dave]

Probably the old left over commies and the new Islamofascist congressits worked together to put up this latest act of treason.

[Humidston]

....Which reminds me.... Didn't the CIA actually, truly, have quilts they made - displayed at HQ or was that a fallacy?

[Grampa Dave]

Dear DoD:

CC: Congress

I, being the afore mentioned President of the United States, in accordance with article #, of said law do hereby authorize covert special actions in the country of Iraq, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, N. Korea and the District of Columbia.

Signed,

GW Bush, President

[Grampa Dave]

That is why I want to see the names.

If repubies were involved in this, where they Rinos like Snow or ?

[PhilDragoo]

Did you see Bush will make a recess appointment for Daniel Pipes on the USIP?

I think this covert ops corset is getting stuffed up some clymer's clymer.

[maui_hawaii]

Then they would argue over what the term "specific" means...

:o)

[Grampa Dave]

Don't forget George Soros. He is apparently a key donor to the new fund of the rats to get rid our president.

The Saudis and the murdering mullahs of Iraq would gladly spend a lot of money with the rats in Congress to bring about something like this.

[onyx]

Gertz is usually more forthright --- I KNOW he knows the names of the Sinitors (as you call them.

My choice is Carl Levin --- the all-knowing-all-con'troll'ing-anti-American-one-man-partisan-slime-machine.

[Grampa Dave]

The CIA under the Clintoons had stopped spying and was running Diversity Quility parties to strengthen the concept of Diversity.

[ClancyJ]

Hm.....Bush is killing the democrats by raising millions for his re-election campaign. The dems may have to resort to "selling" to be able to win their power back. All is ok if it gets the dems in power you know.

[Howlin]

Hell, they ALL look guilty to me!

McGavin has a good idea to add here!

[Humidston]

I thought I'd read that somewhere here, but when I told a lib they had quilts displayed in their lobby he called me a liar. HA! I wish....

[Grampa Dave]

I hadn't seen that about Pipes getting a recess appointment.

We hope as you labeled it, that this covert ops corset gets shoved up the rat's clymers.

[Howlin]

He's on my list, too.

But I'd REALLY love to find out John Edwards had something to do with it!

[Grampa Dave]

Carl Levin without a doubt would be a prime traitor suspect here.

However, when you look over the two lists that Howlin posted, all of those rats are suspects. I would not trust a single one of them to keep a secret to protect our country.

[Howlin]

Yes, I'm posting facts.

Don't you wish you could say that about Drudge?

[Mo1]

My choice is Carl Levin --- the all-knowing-all-con'troll'ing-anti-American-one-man-partisan-slime-machine.

Don't rule out John D. Rockefeller IV either

[Humidston]

If I was GW, I'd have every one of their sorry fannies lined up and ripped in public. Then I'd go find that piece of trash Boy Bill, and I'd strip him naked, tar and feather him, and run him out of town - along with that butch wife of his!

Guess that's why I'm not president, eh?

[Howlin]

The Rats? Did you see Chuck Hagle's name there?

[Cindy]

Well this new rule should make terrorists very happy. Thank you Congress for thinking of US?

[onyx]

Edwards is stupid, but is he THAT stupid?

I eliminated Edwards and Hillary becuase of their presidential aspirations.

[Howlin]

Trent Lott? John McCain? Susan Collins?

Put them ALL on the list.

[Howlin]

Onyx, WE don't think like they do. They probably think this is a godo thing.

Do not EVER eliminate HER from anything.

[Grampa Dave]

Plus the fact that several former big time donors to the DNC are now facing jail terms or like Martha looking at the possibility.

Those people and Martha don't have unlimited resources like they did under the Clintoons.

Liz and I have been posting for over two years that the big time rat donors are able to step up to the bar and donate big time.

So as you noted, if they want to win, that money will have to come from somewhere. We know that the Clintoons/Goron were in bed with the Chicoms for reelection money. Any enemy of America can now probably buy a US Rat $inator for a million $s.

[DoughtyOne]

Bing go!

[Jeff Gordon]

VETO

[onyx]

I would not trust a single one of them to keep a secret to protect our country.

You'll not get an arguement from me!

[FlyVet]

Levin, Kennedy, Clinton.

If those three aren't the most trustworthy souls to have on the Armed Services Committee, I don't know who is.

Blowing chunks.
