Thanks. I have read intelligence reports for years, as well as seeing intel briefings. This thing is so generic and generalized that I am absolutely amazed that the Rats and the Media are risking so much on this being a "smoking gun." More like a piece of wet celery....

[Miss Marple]

Well thank you!

My husband is fuming at the headlines in The Indianapolis Star which are making a mighty effort to push the "Bush knew" line. Of course, did they print the whole memo in the paper? NO! You have to go to their web site to read it.

We only take the Sunday edition for the coupons, but I am begining to think that that is not worth the aggravation we receive from a once-proud paper, now owned by the disgusting Gannett corporation.

[patj]

Ok, am I missing something here? Nobody has mentioned Kerrey's NYT editorial today? Not even Brit in his talking about the partisanship.

[SkyPilot]

Lisa Myers has a history of fairness. She found the Clinton rape story.

And then was stone silent when her bosses at NBC spiked it and would not air it until after Clinton was given a pass by the Rats in the Senate.

[chiller]

Russert must realize the PDB story has no legs, otherwise he would have led with it. Still talking with Bremer and Sanchez from Iraq. He said as much on the Today promo, and even David Gregory on Sat. nite news couldn't find much to condemn.

"Condi didn't crack. PDB ain't working. It sucks being a Democrat with an honorable, smart W in office, and all his damn adults who do the right thing all the time. Jeez. This is not like it used to be. It's not fair. And we don't even control the media anymore. Life is not worth living when we're out of power."

[blackie]

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!

~~ Bush/Cheney 2004 ~~

[clintonh8r]

Bremer and Sanchez seemed pretty subdued. Things don't seem to be going well and June 30 is fast approaching. I wish I could be optimistic, but I'm not.

[Thom Pain]

"Lisa Myers has a history of fairness."

Lisa Myers also recently did a hit piece on the tapes of Bin Laden & Predators that were ALL from the Klintoon era BUT she implied strongly that it was President Bush's failing that Bin Laden wasn't taken out right then! She's a Quisling just like the rest of them and I suggest that she be held in the same contempt, much like the contempt they have for the truth.

[McGruff]

I've seen and heard Sen. Mitch McConnell a couple of times in the past couple of weeks and he has been definitely worth watching.

[snooker]

The Church Commission installed the wall between CIA and FBI after the Vietnam lefties like Kerry, complained of being investigated by Nixon.

Search google on the Church Commission Hearings and you will get what you want.

Clintoon reinforced the wall and took down the numbers of agents when Clinton put a rule into effect in 1994 or so.

So it not legal for the CIA to talk to the FBI, or share intelligence. Ben van-thinks-you-are-stupid knows his dum dim friends did all this.

The Patriot act removed the wall and forces sharing of info.

[olde north church]

What can't I get on a panel show?
p.s. Eleanor Clift just made the most sense she has ever made in her life, she exposed Chalabi for the manipulator he is.

[Thom Pain]

"Lisa Myers...She found the Clinton rape story."

and how long did she sit on it? And there was NO follow-up IIRC. Don't trust her.

[olde north church]

Is there any way to find out if any of the 9/11 wives club were in the process of divorce proceedings?

[chiller]

McCain On MTP is helping the Dems with their talking points; more troops, war spending, SS&Medicare, tax cuts, etc.

[auboy]

Richard Ben-Veniste and the rest of the partisan RATS have found the position in life that suites them best: Armchair quarterbacks looking backwards with perfect 2020 hindsight!

2020 hindsight back to the day George W. Bush was swore in.

No need to look back to Clinton's eight years of play school. Or The Church Report and subsequent laws passed making it illegal for the CIA and the FBI to share intelligence. Or Torricelli's successful quest to gut the human intelligence section of the CIA.

BTW, the Dems could not be happier that Slate Gorton (r) is a member of the "commission".

[jrlc]

The RATS don't care if one attack against Bush works or not. The whole Kerry strategy is just to ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK -- regardless of the merit of the attacks, just keep the negative pressure on Bush. "Don't worry, John. Just listen to me and we'll BRIDGE our way into the White House"

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Dittoes to all aspects of your post.

[auboy]

[Sony to make movie now on Clarke's book. Name of the move: American Grandstand. The starring cast: Ima Gorelicker, Bent Peniste, Dick Clarke]

But who's going to play Slate Gorton? Really, really good zombies are hard to find.

BTW, are you one of those Hollywood insiders? I thought so.;-)

[olde north church]

Cardinal McCarrick of Washington, on FNC, gave me my confirmation around 30 years ago. He was a politician then, he's a politician now, I wouldn't be surprised if he became the first American pope.
