Embarrass the Maliki Government???!!! Henry, don’t you dare fall for that crap. It’s the CIA/Military Intelligence/Blackwater phonies that should be embarrassed.

Oh, lets not expose those sources and methods of having the State Department taking the blame for the CIA, et al.

Here is a blast from the past….anyone remember 1969 when Seven Green Beret’s were arrested and charged but not tried for the assassination of an alleged double agent because Nixon did not want to allow the CIA to testify at the court-martial? Well, truth be known, Henry Waxman, those charged but not tried were NOT Green Beret’s; they were Military Intelligence officers POSING as Green Beret’s and actually working for the CIA using assumed names provided by the US Embassy in Saigon for Black Terror operations in violation of Presidential (LBJ) directives issued during National Security Council meetings. http://johnmccarthy90066.tripod.com/id258.html

What makes you think the State Department is behind the antics of “Blackwater”? How many believe that CIA is using Blackwater as a cover for it’s own murderouis op’s like the demolition of the holiest shrine in Iraq and blaming on sectarian strife? Raise your hands!

First of all, what business is it of ours that Iraq has joined the ranks of corrupt government. I mean, maybe Iraq should investigate US corruption, since our government appears incapable of doing it.

Second, the state department already leaked the report to congress before they classified it as “secret”. How convenient.

Third, they intend to bring down the Maliki government. This is just one stage of a smear campaign to get support for this, and the good cop (Democratic Congress) bad cop (Bush State Department) game is played for the gullible American critters entertainment. If Condi is protecting it, the people will know it must be bad.

Playing us like a fiddle.

I think they are calling the weapons “lost” because you can’t really submit paperwork saying you gave arms to Al Qaeda, or the Sunnis, or the insurgents (or whatever they are being called this week)–that is what is happening, people! We are arming BOTH sides of the civil war.

Now about those 130,000 American weapons that disappeared, Cafferty just brought that up this afternoon. Gee wonder if they are being sold on the blackmarket so they can be used against our military. Nahhhh.

Rory if you are still around try listening to Cafferty you might learn something.

Come to think of it, the entire administration muzzles evidence of wrongdoing everywhere to avoid embarrassing Bushâ€¦

Yet, Bush is still such an embarrassment.

250,000,000 was stolen about a month ago from a Iraq bank, that was 250,000,000 of American money. One very small discussion on CNN never to hear again.

I heard today from the judge, in his testimony that there was something like 18 billion lost to the corruption. Did anyone else catch if that was US money or Iraq money. I mean yea Bushies want everything kept quiet.
Thanks

Keeping files on Senators and Congressmen

After reading Anthony Summer’s book on J Edgar Hoover that reads like a guide book to the Bush government, I am starting to think that the Cheeny emprire of spying has produced files on every Senator and Congressman — ready to go if they don’t play ball.

Every Democrat out there backs down when it gets to enforcing the law, they pass every bogus thing, back off enforcing every time. They talk a big show and never pull the triger.

This isn’t just incompetance – this may well be black mail and self preservation… all that massive spying has been used to control people.

Anybody agree? Thoughts?

Not to defend Condi in any way, but I would imagine she is about as clueless as George nowadays with regards to Iraq.
It’s a war zone, and anything the State Dept. does is most likely dictated by the military.
Condi flits around trying to get big things accomplished, with little knowledge of the gritty details.
She still holds the top diplomatic position, and it is her department, and she is accountable.
She should be in jail now for having dropped the ball on the 9/11 intelligence that she dissed.

They are much like puppets on a string

So true Bilbobaggins-it’s all about not exposing GW666’s corruption and criminal activities, and to keep from embarrassing him than anything else.

All together now, 1, 2, 3 – WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY

That felt good.

â€œItâ€™s pretty clear that the administration just wants to muzzle any comments that reflect negatively on the Maliki government,â€ concluded Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY).

It’s more likely to be embarrassing to the Bush Administration than to the Maliki government. My bet’s on the fact that the Bush Administration is up to it’s eyeballs in any corruption in the Maliki government. They are not likely to allow Maliki to do something without their getting their cut of the action.

Not to mention the fact that it reflects poorly on Bush because they are allowing it to happen (if not participating in it). Either way it reflects poorly on Bush & Company.
