"He clearly has a agenda here, and it is not hard to decipher his motives."

Clearly. I will never forget that Bill Kristol went on Fox News shortly before President Bush's State of the Union Address to "predict" that Rudy Guiliani was to be named the first ever Homeland Security Chief. Hours later I collapsed in guffaws when Tom Ridge was named. Later I learned that David Frum, who was formerly a writer for the Weakly Standard was one of the speechwriters. (Although not the head speechwriter.) It was months later that all this flap occurred about the axis of evil, and Frum's wife taking credit for her hubby. I will always believe that the WH was smokin' out their leakers......and Frum was one of the first to fall.......

That was very astute of you to notice that.

Not everyone takes Frum as seriously as he takes himself. Just for laughs, here's The White House Diaries of David Frum, by some writer in Vancouver.

So, this means Kristol knew he and his source were busted.

After reading your post yesterday, I just couldn't stop thinking about what you had written. Let me get this straight. Are you saying that Frum was more than likely given Guiliani's name as Chief of Homeland Security; that he leaked it to that snake in conservative clothing, Kristol; who then predicted the appointment on Fox? The White House then made the connection and poof, Frum is out!

If I understand this correctly, I'd like to thank you. When I tell this to my 83 year old mother this evening, she's going to dance a jig.
