Hadley goes to Capitol Hill.

By Amanda Terkel on Jul 11th, 2007 at 10:06 am

“Stephen Hadley was to visit Capitol Hill on Wednesday – one of many such forays in recent days — as the White House finalized a 23-page progress report on Iraq that concludes the government in Baghdad has made little progress in meeting reform goals laid down by Bush and Congress.” Robert Novak noted that last week, Hadley’s visits “failed” to “extinguish fires set by Sen. Richard Lugar’s unexpected break from President Bush’s Iraq policy.”

Robert Novak? Isn’t he the guy who helped the Administration commit treason?

Hmmmm,

Looks like Badley has some goods on some congress critters, eh?

(Ahem, Senator, I’d just like to remind you of those 8×10’s we mailed you last month. As we said, we’re prepared to expose them to the public if you even consider voting that way.)

Arm twisting has been replaced by NSA blackmail techniques.

How brazen! To roam the halls while Sara Taylor hides behind an imaginary wall of privilege. Yesterday’s news about AG should put some spark into this morning’s hearings. I’m especially interested in how Meirs does tomorrow. She looks like she could be intimidated by someone like Leahy; we’ll see.

I think the internal uproar over the NSA spying shit by Comey and Ashcroft had to do with collecting malicious info on the Legislature for use in blackmail for precisely these situations.

Hadley used to be in the NSA, right? Any coincidence that they’ve charged him with “convincing” other Senators? Blackmail, I smell thee.

Baghdad Puppet Government has made little progress and we need to get out of Iraq NOW!

Its a scientific fact that the moment we leave, the savages who used to sell mirrors and doilies will lay down their bombs and torture gear and get back to their old lives.

With only the American military separating them, the religious clans have little choice but to blow each other to bits. With the U.S. gone they will reconcile centuries of murderous animosity and learn to get along within days of our departure.

Out of Iraq NOW, not later, NOW!

Hardley had to have a War Czar so he could have time to blackmail the

congress critters.

Hadley is the same guy who was implicated in the Abscam plot, as well as being a signal planner for the invasion of Grenada.

Not to be trusted. E-V-E-R-!

So Elizabeth Dole is the latest Republican to question the Iraq policy? No surprise here — she’s up for re-election next year.

Look for more defections to come — with the class of 2002 senators leading the pack.

Capital police should arrest any member of Bush Regime that shows its face in the Congress.

“Golly gee…I’m just hear to listen…so….why exactly have you decided that our dear leader is a miserable failure?

I mean, not that we’ll change course or anything…we’re trying like heck to stall so we can get out the door before the country collapses…I just want to give the impression that we are listening.
