		<description>131 - Jay, I have as many here including you totally dismantled sextant many times.  I doubt the trolls on TP are more than just one or two people, and they are either paid by some interest or just plain stupid.  My money is on them being paid, they only grow people that stupid in areas that are really racist.  Norway is actually a pretty progressive country, so I would imagine if sextants family was from Norway, they fled Nazi Germany when they realized they could be prosecuted for war crimes.

129 - WMD, yes it was Senior Bush (or bush the smarter) that is on record calling leakers &quot;the most insedious of traitors&quot; - He actually had several speeches that totally oppose his deamon spawn&#039;s views.  But again, since the bush family has a history of war profiting and lying, I usually listen to them but know they are lying evil people.  Keep your friends close, your enemies far closer.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;That would place clinton with andrew jackson if I remember correctly as the only two presidents to be impeached. Or did the Jackson impeachment attempt stop in the house?

Andrew Johnson was impeached, not Jackson.</description>

		<description>#115 - &quot;Now if only you had evidence of treasonâ€¦. &quot;

We have Libby&#039;s testimony that he leaked classified information on the orders of VPres. Cheney.  
Leaking classified information is treason.
Therefore, we have evidence of treason.

That&#039;s so simple, Pres. Bush could follow it.</description>

Really no need for a pardon, its going to be hard to get a conviction as nothing was done wrong. Ms Plame had not been â€œoperationalâ€ in so long it didnâ€™t matter&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Ironicly &lt;strong&gt;Bush Snr&lt;/strong&gt; has called those who exposed Plame as I&lt;strong&gt;nsidious Tratiors  &lt;/strong&gt;.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;READ THIS EVERYBODY&lt;/strong&gt;

Who&#039;s Against a Ban on
Fissile Material? 
In 2005, Mohamed ElBaradei was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his outstanding work in the international control of nuclear weapons. In 2003, ElBaradei had proposed a verifiable ban on the production of weapons-grade fissile material â€“ a positive move that would severely limit the proliferation of nuclear weapons. 

&lt;strong&gt;In a vote of the Disarmament Committee of the United Nations (UN), one and only one nation voted against ElBaradei&#039;s proposal â€“ George Bush&#039;s America.&lt;/strong&gt; In that same vote, Israel abstained, apparently fearing international interference with their own outlaw nuclear weapons program, and Britain abstained in an act of diplomatic fealty to the &quot;special relationship&quot; between Tony Blair and George Bush. &lt;strong&gt;The final tally was 147 nations to one &lt;/strong&gt;with the two abstentions. In a later vote of the entire UN General Assembly, Israel and Britain abstained, while America and Palau voted against ElBaradei&#039;s verifiable ban on fission, and &lt;strong&gt;179 nations voted in favor of his proposal. &lt;/strong&gt;The final vote on that occasion was 179 in favor, two opposed (U.S. and Palau), and two abstentions (Israel and Britain).

ElBaradei&#039;s proposal would monitor all nuclear fission and guarantee that non-nuclear weapons states would be able to obtain adequate supplies for their nonmilitary usage of enriched plutonium.

One nation has publicly accepted ElBaradei&#039;s proposal: Iran. 

In light of this important backstory, it is now perfectly obvious that the so-called &quot;negotiations&quot; among America, its intermediaries, and Iran have been designed to camouflage, distort, and erase the historical record. America and Israel are opposed to ElBaradei&#039;s proposal for a verifiable ban on nuclear fission (Fissban) apparently to prevent the intrusion of international inspectors into the Israeli nuclear industry.

Given the facts of the highly publicized &quot;Iran Plans&quot; for a massive American military intervention against the Iranian nuclear industry and the constant threat of bombing Iran leveled by American authorities from George Bush and Condoleezza Rice to Richard Perle and John Bolton, it is equally clear that American policy is being driven by a Machiavellian political calculus.

Over the past two weeks, there has been a chain of interlocked events: the execution of Zarqawi; the Camp David summit on Iraq; Bush&#039;s secret flight to Baghdad; and the narrow escape of Karl Rove from federal indictment in the Valerie Plame case. These events are fitting into a discernible pattern designed to resuscitate the dying political corpse of the Bush administration in time for the midterm elections this November.

The continuing weakness of the Bush administration, as measured by the president&#039;s approval rating, will embolden those proponents of the unilateral bombardment of Iran as a measure that could precipitate the president&#039;s resurgence. With so little left to lose, Bush may press the button for war in hopes of gaining approval in red-state America, where his political fate will be decided on the Nov. 6.

Darker plans may even be afoot, or so we are led to believe by scholars of the U.S. intelligence industry. The former CIA official Ray McGovern has warned of &quot;staged&quot; atrocities as part of a covert U.S. program for the manufacture of &quot;&#039;synthetic terror.&quot; Robert Woodward warned an academic audience in Texas that the next major atrocity on U.S. soil would reduce 9/11 to a footnote in world history. There are persistent back-channel rumors of Republican Party officials circulating memoranda longing for a return to the heady days after 9/11 to revive the ailing Bush presidency â€“ even at the cost of a new 9/11.

&lt;strong&gt;Neither America&#039;s people nor the peoples of other nations are being adequately informed about the history of international planning for the control of fissionable materials, which are the essential ingredients for nuclear weapons. The global media is complicit in the increasing threats to peace by a deeply unpopular American president and his loyal cadre of neoconservative apparatchiks, who now threaten the future of the planet with a holocaust of gigantic proportions.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>125, the trolls and dumbya-supporters don&#039;t enjoy the peaceful cult like atmosphere of the far reich-blogs.  These are the type people that love war, conflict, death, destruction and oppression of others.  They hide behind religion, claim to be born again and engage in some of the most unChrist like behavor.

They are so vile that they have to spread their garbage like an infectious disease.  Look at Man Coulter, they infect each other and reproduce.

Much like cancer cells.</description>

		<description>You know dumbya will do it, and not one of these criminals in power today will see any real time in jail.

These are many of the same criminals that were around in the 1960&#039;s and during the Iran-Contra crimes.  And now look, Ollie-Shreader-North is now a big star on FAUX news.

However, if we ever get them to the Hague, that will be a totally different story.</description>

		<description>Guy in Norway: You have been caught in lies by many posters on TP, so your claim to never have lied in here is plain ridiculous! You are the abominable person and insidious con-artist! Psycho fits you perfectly!!!

Nobody likes you on TP because you are paid to defend Bush Regime criminals like Karl Rove! Only someone who has zero morality defends Rove, and anyone whose life consists of getting drunk at bars is a ZERO! Go post your vile rants on some far-right blog &gt; lol.</description>

Go post your vile rants on some far-right blog &gt; lol.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=629622', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Really no need for a pardon, its going to be hard to get a conviction as nothing was done wrong.  Ms Plame had not been &quot;operational&quot; in so long it didn&#039;t matter</description>

Republican presidents, that is. To cover their asses.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Iâ€™m saying that Think Progress is pretending that pardoning Libby would be anything other than SOP, when in fact, historically, it would be exactly that. Comment by Seixonâ€&lt;/em&gt;

Yeah, but you left out the part about who established the standard, and it wasn&#039;t Clinton. It was Bush 1.</description>

		<description>And to anticipate you Seix, it was the Boland amendment. An act of congress, which Reagan eventually admitted to breaking.  You bitch about Rich, and ignore the elephant in the presidential pardons tent.  Typical.</description>

		<description>TREASON IS NORMAL.

&lt;em&gt;Now if only you had evidence of treasonâ€¦. &lt;/em&gt;

Comment by Seixon â€” 

Well let&#039;s have a wide-ranging investigation, and &lt;strong&gt;let&#039;s also look into every aspect of Libby&#039;s sex life&lt;/strong&gt;; I&#039;ve heard he was boinking Judy Miller. Could be that national secrets were passed between the two.  And let&#039;s make sure Rove wasn&#039;t in on a threesome - these things are important to republicans, right?

Pardons are all that kept the crooks in the Reagan administration from being tried for treasonous acts. That&#039;s the first time we heard all this bleating about &quot;the ciminalization of politics&quot; from republicans.  So Seixon; pardons for North, Poindexter, Abrams, and the rest of the slimy lot were ok with you?
When we reach November, we&#039;ll have investigations without the usual rubberstamp republican stonewall (hello, Senator Roberts), because they will no longer be in control.</description>
