Then he sent everyone to the Sunday talk shows. You'll see Bush pick one reporter out, chastise him/her, and then not allow them into any press briefings ever again.
I'm not sure the FBI will look for anything but proof that Bush was not involved... Do you trust Justice to see this one through?
by Iraqi exiles or others
The whistleblowers are starting to come out. The Bush Administration is "leaking". Sad day that we can not trust the unPresident, or anyone in his regime and must therefore depend on whistleblowers :sad:
I've never trusted the mealy-mouthed idjit anyway.
Neither does any of the rest of them, just won't admit it!!!!!!!
I wonder if Ari started a resignation glut? If he was able to put two and two together, I'm sure others are beginning to see the light. c.i.
ci
Three significant resignations; Ari, Karen Hughes, and Mrs. James Carville (plus some Pentagon folks jumped or pushed). But there's really no way of knowing, outside of some future revelations, that these resignations aren't benign.
Well, I doubt Hughes' resignaion was benign. What I'd heard was that she and Rove didn't work out. Hughes had some softening effect, but no way was Rove going to allow anybody else to have a name. Sort of wonder what Mary knew that made her get out. She'd been with Cheney for years, and was always a working mother. Ari - did he jump or was he pushed? A lot of people in his job burn out in a few years.
Tart - if you're referring to Justice, as in Ashcroft - you kidding? Would you trust that department to find anything that wasn't party line? Watch Tenet come out a hero in this. I'm surprised the WH, in all its wisdom, hasn't looked at the fact that Tenet is looking not only responsible, but obviously taking the fall. Can't wait for his book.
You'll want to read all of this one...
Quote:The Israeli influence was revealed most clearly by a story floated by unnamed senior US officials in the American press, suggesting the reason that no banned weapons had been found in Iraq was that they had been smuggled into Syria. Intelligence sources say that the story came from the office of the Israeli prime minister.

I just finished reading the printed version of the Guardian then saw your post Blatham. I've often wondered about these Likudniks in the US Administration, just what is going on?
How did they ever hope to pursuade the public to back the idea and shoulder the cost of destroying Saddam and overthrowing govts in Syria Lebanon Iran Saudi Arabia etc? It's enough to make any hard nosed realist into a light weight conspiracy theorist.
ps dont forget to tune in later today for Tony Blair addressing Congress. [Pity he won't be putting any Iraqi WMD on the table, or he could have taken a medal home].
Actually I have to admire Blair's stamina. He has just been through the toughest 6 months in politics and now he's going round the world again Thursday America Friday Japan Saturday Hong Kong Sunday...
Are politicians tested for performance enhancing drugs such as nandrolone? And why isn't George Bush taking any?
Bush must be taking them just to remain upright and speaking.
Great little post there Steve . . . LOL . . .
Mamaj -- My comment about Justice was intended ironically! Now, do you think the Senate will let this go? And where do we put Lieberman, if not in the stocks? I'd be most interested to hear from fellow Dems on their assessments of Lieberman's statements yesterday. I'd also like to run a lottery on the chances of Tenet and Lieberman getting (in the long run) some wonderfully lucrative appointments to boards of major corporations which just happen also to be significant contributors to the Bush campaign...
Anybody got a link to Lieberman's comments?
Lieberman (don't have link, heard on radio) joined in the effort to pin the blame on the CIA and then said, as an afterthought, "but the buck stops..."
Lieberman's always struck me as an opportunistic wimp, and this has done nothing to change my mind.
...and the man's voice makes my skin crawl...
I like Joe, but I wish I didn't always have to see his bottom row of teeth when he talks.
Bush's eyes are too small.
Kerry's face is too long and skinny.
Kucinich looks like Dennis the Menace (someone else brought this up--)
Gephardt stole some woman's lovely cheekbones.
Graham has Bulldog jowls.
Pelosi has the fakest smile I have ever seen.
None of this matters.
I am bored.
Yes, to snood. I wish Joe would put some mustard on that voice. :wink:
Thanks for that, Scrat.
As pointed out in today's 'Independent':

And make no mistake, Americans love Mr Blair (though what with the row over the Guantanamo Bay prisoners and the difficulties faced by British companies in securing Iraq reconstruction contracts, the affection is less than obvious).

Leaders face growing pressure for answers over Iraq
:wink:
