Great points and I concur
I don't believe the U.S. citizens would take out a prompt Libby pardon on Republicans other than Bush/Cheney, who have nothing to lose in 2008.
The same kind that keep voting Sheila jackson-Lee into office.
WHy what?
The pic? Hey, I don't know. I just thought it was funny.
For the record, I suspect the guy in front is sewing something on the president's pants. The guy in back is likely covering something...maybe a rip or tear.
It struck me as very funny. Hey, maybe it's me.
Wow
There used to be an organization within the Democrat party for the communists within the ranks. I actually linked to it one time when someone tried to call BS.
I wish I could find tht now...it would be very interesting to see who is on it now and also on the DBM shows thrashing the country.
May I softly suggest that President Clinton was also, duh, the PRESIDENT when he lied before a grand jury?
Not that everything you said isn't true but the American public will surely understand that distinction between Libby and Clinton.
Again, where are the REPUBLICANS over this Libby thing?
I don't bank on "foregone conclusions" since Bush made the foregone conclusion that the Supreme Court would overturn McCain-Feingold, and i especially don't count on them with the way Bush has been caving in to the dems.
Obviously, a premptive US military attack is the last resort. In the meantime, we should work on regime change in Iran, overtly and covertly. We should be aiding the opposition forces inside and outside of Iran. There are various diplomatic levers and economic sanctions that can be employed to further isolate Iran and its efforts to acquire nuclear weapons.
Domestically, Iran's economy is in poor shape and the brain drain is real with more than 150,000 educated young people leave Iran annually for countries such as the U.S. and Canada. Some 4 million Iranians now live abroad. The current regime is very unpopular. The question is can we change it without using military force. We should try given our long term strategic interests in the region and our relationship with our once and future ally, Iran.
FYI..I've been told I'm a dead ringer for Jim Boeheim..he's the men's basketball coach at Syracuse University...I don't have the time to find a pic and post it fop you..I'm off for my Sunday run...going to head past casa Clinton..see whassup over there..BTW, I spoke with a few of her local staffers this week..lunch at the Little Store..there is much concern in camp Hillary about Obama. Once the balloon of her inevitability is punctured..i.e. he surpasses her in a poll...her support could collapse, more like implode.... as more and more stampede to Obama..The fact that Spitzer a week or so ago declined to support her was very telling..so you look at Boeheim's pic..and tell me if he's sexy....catch y'all later..
I hope you're right about this but I have a sneaky suspicion, due to political pressure from the left, the sentencing will include the requirement of Libby to immediately begin serving his sentence. This would in effect "require" President Bush to put up or shut up.
Just my weird way of thinking the Democrats are trying every devious way imaginable to make Pres Bush, and by association the Republicans look badly.
The media would twist it though
"Mort Kondrake! I thought he was on OUR side. "
Mort is like a level headed Swede. He drools tobacco juice (blooming idiocy) out of both sides of his mouth.
Nothing negative intended to my Swedish friends.
He's delusional, he can be frustrating in his defense of assinine positions. But think about how much we appreciate it when Brit takes him to task.
I will add that while he is who he was in his thirties but now more so (LOL), he's also someone you can reason with on some issues. He is taking heat for taking on the liberal CW of victimology and his book is being ignored on the left.
Last December (I think) BOR got him to concede that there is a culture war.
He is a liberal who has occasions (LOL Sparse, but give him some credit) in which he's lucid. That's more than can be said of Mara Liasson, who always finds a way to uphold the party line. And he has a sense of humor.
Given how the left treats FNC, don't you think he gets a hard time from his NPR associates for appearing on FNC?
John Roberts, in for Wolfie, is interviewing Zebari, the Iraqi Foreign Minister...and posted a quote by him that said something about how he is anxious to work with the Iranians..and how Iran has always been a HELP to Iraq.
Zebari said that he had seen that quote, and it was totally wrong...but that he says that he told Iran that he didn't want Iran to try to settle scores with the US by using the Iraqi war to do it.
Roberts is saying that he knows Zebari has a good relationship with Iran, so why doesn't he just tell them to stop.
Zebari said we do, all of the time...
Roberts reading that quote from the Iranian saying that peace will only come with withdrawal of American forces.
Zebari disagreeing of course...Roberts bringing up Congress' plan for a date certain.
Zebari said the of course there will be a time when US leaves..but not now. Some places in Iraq can be on their own, but not Baghdad..and any quick withdrawal would make things worse for the whole country.
:-) It's easy to like a lot about Fred. I just hope that he can make the case that he has enough executive experience.
