		<description>Arguing with them is the same as arguing with your cat. They will scratch, they will hiss, and even on their best days they still, for reasons&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dostcafem.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sohbet&lt;/a&gt; unbeknown to the rest of us, pee on your carpet. Hoekstra et al are racist thugs. They will not understand a document as important at the one reported &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dostcafem.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Bedava mp3 indir&lt;/a&gt;by the A.P.

		<description>Crocker is just another neocon so what else could you expect. Lying is in their DNA so they can&#039;t help themselves. Sadly, I think you can dump Gen. Petraeus into that same camp. They are lying about Iran too. Their itch for war is just too overwhelmning.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;James Mattil, who worked with Brennan, agreed with Brennan’s assessment, blaming the Bush administration for failing to demand greater action on corruption: “It seems reasonable to conclude that the reasons are either, gross incompetence, willful negligence or political intent on the part of the Bush administration and more specifically, the Department of State,” he said.
&lt;/i&gt;

And pre-tell who else would be in charge of the State Department besides a gaped tooth lackey...?

		<description>What a fine, upstanding that Secretary Rice is turning out to be. She was a disaster as National Security Advisor and she is a disaster as Secretary of State. She should have been fired 6 years ago rather than promoted. She is in a league with Rumsfeld and that is no complement, needless to say.</description>

And, so what if it’s cost Iraq and us an estimated $18 billion so far.

I wish Iraq cost us only 18 billion so far…..
The War in Iraq Costs
$519,077,975,164

The $18 billion refers just to the Iraqi government&#039;s corruption, not the cost of the war.</description>

		<description>StratRat @ 20

My friend, a real Bush backer and McCain supporter, resorts more and more to an instant angry shout about the need to turn the Middle East into glass. I let him rant on and on and occasionally his invectives have revealed his bias against blacks and women. When he stops I ask if he is finished and if I may continue uninterupted. Then I calmly talk about another new facet of the administration that is on the net and relate it to economic conditions and/or military screw-ups of Bushco. He eventually tells me he has to either feed or take out his pack of dogs to get off the phone. Its going to be a long summer.</description>

		<description>If the Bushies were to disclose all the Iraqi corruption, they would be undermining their favorite puppet Maliki. So what choice did Condi&#039;s State Dept. have but to support Maliki by contributing to the corruption, and telling everyone else to shut up. Of course, contributing to the corruption isn&#039;t a big leap for the equally corrupt and negligent Bushies. And, so what if it&#039;s cost Iraq and us an estimated $18 billion so far.</description>

		<description>#15 L/S Annie,

Your comment brought to mind a scenario many years ago, the principals being my Dear Departed Daddy, a hoe, a plowed field, my middle brother, and a pair of rubber boots (Daddy&#039;s size 12 on Brother&#039;s size 10 feet).  After a short conversation which ended with my brother saying &quot;No, I don&#039;t want to&quot; the scene played out with the boots hitting the plowed field and the hoe handle hitting the back side of my brother with each step.  I would love to have King George the Dumb in that field with the hoe in my hand.  Thanks for the memory!</description>

		<description>OK, Nancy P, &quot;Got Table?&quot; yet?

Exactly when  is   enough, enough for a &lt;strike&gt;Republican&lt;/strike&gt; Democratic Speaker before she allows impeachment?
When  they start shooting citizens in   the  street,  it  may  be  too  late.</description>

		<description>StratRat Says:

&lt;em&gt;Ya know….Learning all I know about the bush administration, it has made me realize that the supporters of this administration are not very smart. I’m not trying to dis-respect them, but how on earth could they still wake up in the morning and figure that over 80% of their fellow Americans are wrong about Bush? Not to mention what the rest of the planet thinks about him.

I’m just trying to get my head around the notion that these folks think there is still something to root for in the administration. I don’t mean the neocons making money, I mean the regular Americans.&lt;/em&gt;

For an indepth study of why a certain percentage remain loyal to the Chimperror, check this out.

It&#039;s a rather long read so the short version is that they maintain a delusional state where faults, in their &quot;chosen one&quot;, are: flatly denied, redefined as positive, or projected onto the opposition (the &quot;Clinton did it&quot; gambit is a perfect example.).

This delusional state is not greatly effected by intelligence. It seems to have more to do with fear, domination, and perceived importance. Though it would seem that investing in a philosophy which requires active denial of reality isn&#039;t the brightest decision one can make.</description>

		<description>&quot;If he doesn’t know, then he’s negligent. If he does know, then he’s intentionally misleading Congress and the American public.&quot;

 Brennan is being far to (cough-cough) diplomatic.

 Crocker (snort) entered the scene pretty much the same time as General Betrayus. Their collective mission is to stall, obfuscate, enable and generally cover-up the massive war profiteering that the whole invasion of Iraq was all about to begin with.
 Of course Crocker is &lt;em&gt;negligent&lt;/em&gt;. It&#039;s part of his job description.</description>
