An associate of mine, a former political appointee, recently spoke to a Republican friend of his who serves in a senior position in what has become the Office of Homeland Security. He reports that this official, along with many of his colleagues across the political spectrum within the apparatus of government, are absolutely terrified of George W. Bush. According to this official, the consensus is that Bush has completely lost touch with reality, and is bringing us to a place where politics will no longer matter.
A London newspaper, the Guardian, has quoted a source close to the administration as saying, "This has been the worst diplomatic debacle of our lifetime." A senior White House official is also quoted as saying, in a voice reportedly awash with sarcasm, "There's a recognition that this has not been our finest diplomatic hour."

Under normal circumstances, I'd say yes. But William Rivers Pitt is apparently a weedy little thing that would be easy to dust up. Really, someone should just give him his Prozac and have done with it.

The so-called Liberal Media are owned by large Conservative corporations that dictate control over biased news reporting in major newspapers and on major television networks. The media are conservative just like their owners and sponsors. You're getting the "News" the way that they want you to see it.
Give 'em credit; they lead with an old, but still popular, talking point.
Another hoary old TP:
Bush has been skittering around the fact that he went AWOL during his term of military service for over three years now...
Hey, here's a new TP:
devoid of any form of international morality...
Then there's The Ghost of VIETNAM:
It's ironic that at the same time U.S. military teams are desperately looking for evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, specifically chemical weapons, an extensive scientific report was just released on the massive use of the chemical Agent Orange by the U.S. in Vietnam...
I could go on, but it's a veritable "quagmire" of TP's....
GOOD! We can only hope the same is true of the State Department.
A friend of a friend who knows somebody says......boy, there is a solid source of information.
