Retired Navy Vice Adm. Joseph Sestak is garnering national attention in his bid to unseat incumbent Republican Congressman Curt Weldon and is touting his 31-year Navy career as proof of his fitness for public service.
Adm. Sestak, who commanded the Cruiser Destroyer Group Two and George Washington Battle Group, served in combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. In the 1990s, he advised the President Clinton on defense policy.
The admiral has called the Iraq war a "tragic misadventure," and asserts he was against Operation Iraqi Freedom from the start. He may find a sympathetic ear among some Seventh District voters.
While district voters will salute Sestak's long military service to his country, they may also question the Democratic newcomer's leadership ability in light of his removal from a high-level Navy post last summer. According to a July 25, 2005 Navy Times article written by Christopher Cavas, Sestak was blamed for a "poor command climate" while serving as Deputy Chief of Naval Operations..."
Weldon got the shaft and Berger got, so far, a minor ding. Sestak, a Carpetbagging Rent a Vet, had to be a piece of crap in the Navy. They usually speak well of most of the high level people they replace.

The Able Danger story, that exploded on the scene last year, is dead in the water.
There is so much here. To see the Clintons and Berger walk away from this mess is galling. And now the news story is the trial of Scooter Libby?
Incredible.

Me, too.
Weldons district in Pennsylvania was seriously screwed up to elect Sestak over Weldon.
Amazing how the same Clintanoid names just keep showing up over and over. Harold Ichies! Sleeze par excellence.
Speaking of jail time, isn't either Ira Magaziner or Hillary supposed to have had a little jail time while playing Mr. and Ms. Sunshine (Law).
I would love to know Bruce Lindsay's latest Clinton "project".

Man this story puts so many pieces of the puzzle together.
If its a conspiracy, its a good one.
With Santorum and Weldon gone that state has pretty much gone over to the Pitts and Philly types. It is a damn shame, but they deserve what they get.
great read. I am sure it will get taken out of breaking news ASAP for an update on klamath falls or something
after the article headline;
Cashill is a crackpot. He had me going too, for a while, with his Flight 800 book.
I could be mistaken but I don't believe it was kellynla who put it in BN?
Up near Nova Scotia, I believe. Egyptian airline and I believe it was after 800.
Don't forget to read the first two related stories linked at this story. I believe the Curt was set up by both parties. Clinton had a greater need but the GOP knows the drive by media will twist it to blame them also.
