WASHINGTON - The CIA has told Henry Kissinger to kiss off, saying his services as an informal adviser to Director Porter Goss are no longer needed. The pink slip came in the form of a terse communiqué from Goss to Kissinger - the vaunted diplomat and counselor to Presidents - and other members of an intelligence advisory board that meets several times a year, Newsweek magazine reported yesterday. The council of wise men recently sacked by the new CIA honcho includes 9/11 Commissioner and ex-Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.), who heads New School University in New York; former Sen. Sam Nunn...

Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 President Bill Clinton signed the bill into law October 31, 1998 Bill Clinton: "The policies and actions of the Saddam Hussein regime continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, as well as to regional peace and security." "The United States favors an Iraq that offers its people freedom at home. I categorically reject arguments that this is unattainable due to Iraq's history or its ethnic or sectarian make-up. Iraqis deserve and desire freedom like everyone else. The United States looks forward to a...

To: National Desk, Political Reporter Contact: Chad Clanton or Phil Singer, _________, both of Kerry-Edwards 2004 WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 /U.S. Newswire/ -- In response to today's outrageous attacks on John Kerry's service by Karl Rove, former Georgia Senator Max Cleland and former Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey made the following statements Senator Max Cleland: "Karl Rove was behind it all, it's part of his smear campaign to tarnish to tarnish the records and service of Vietnam Veterans, and now he's doing it again. I find it interesting that three different people have had to resign from basically the Bush Campaign and...

Major Garrett just reported on Fox News that Former Senator Bob Kerry's response to questions regarding allegations against Senator John Kerry, Bob Kerry said "*uck them!" and Bob Kerry said "and you can quote me on that!"

Bob Kerrey said Fox News could quote him. So they did.

New School president Bob Kerrey - a former Democratic senator from Nebraska and a Medal of Honor recipient in Vietnam - had choice words for the Swifties accusing Sen. John Kerry of volunteering for Vietnam combat duty to pad his political résumé. "Oh, f-- them," he told the Daily News' James Gordon Meek. "Quote me on that. The idea that you'd volunteer for [Swift boat duty] because you're thinking about a political career. ... That's what you think about doing if you want a posthumous political career." Meanwhile, Creative Coalition co-president and "Dr. Vegas" star Joe Pantoliano wonders if FDR...

Bob Kerrey was allowed to rewrite history from the left on two important points last night. First, he repeatedly said the swiftboat vets should hate Nixon and Johnson for losing the war in Vietnam, and he mentioned war crimes trials for the political leaders responsible for the war, and for losing it.It is a fact that President Nixon gradually withdrew all U.S. forces from Vietnam, trained the South Vietnamese, and bombed the N Vietnamese into a peace treaty by which they withdrew their forces from South Vietnam. The American Military and the President won that war.AFTER Nixon resigned due to...

Does anyone have a link or the transcript to Dole & Bob Kerrey's debate last night on MSNBC on Joe Scarborough?

Kerry’s Living RésuméBy Joan Marie NagyAugust 23, 2004 NewsMax.com  http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/8/23/111634.shtml“Oh yeah, well ... well, our guy ... our guy served on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence for eight years and he was even the vice chairman of the committee, yeah, that’s it, so there, take that. How do you like that?” “Oops.” How does this happen? How does a campaign, in a presumably serious run for the presidency of the United States of America, confuse its candidate’s credentials with those of another senator, even if the names are similar? Members of John Kerry’s campaign staff seem to think they...

WOLF BLITZER, HOST: Bob Dole has more to add to his controversial comment on John Kerry's war record. I'll speak with him live. That's coming up in just a few moments. Stand by for hard news on WOLF BLITZER REPORTS.

Be sure to tune in!!

Let's face it, he just wants something resembling a good reputation. But, he doesn't have one, so he can't really be blamed if he extrapolates on his own a little and also borrows parts of others. Problem is, some people are starting to notice. For instance, the seldom read Kerry campaign web site was glanced at by an Associated Press political writer the other day and a little discrepancy was noticed. So, the AP article began: "John Kerry, Bob Kerrey. It's easy to get confused. At least that's how the Kerry campaign is explaining claims that Kerry -- the Democratic...

Something to Yak About – Kerry Campaign Pads Candidate’s Intelligence Resume This is amazing for a couple of reasons, neither of which is made up. The John Kerry campaign, in an effort to burnish the nominee’s image on intelligence matters and spin their way out of his lousy committee attendance record, claimed on its website Monday, “John Kerry served on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence for 8 years and is the former Vice Chairman of the Committee.” Fact is John Kerry has never – ever! – served as vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Turns out,...

Tonight on Fox News I heard something (while I was on the phone) about the Kerry campaign claiming that Johnny boy attended certain Intelligence Committee meetings or something, mistaking him in their claims for "Bob" Kerry, who actually attended those meetings. They looked really foolish, or so it seemed, but I did not catch it all. Can someone fill me in?

Fox News just had a news segment where the Kerry campaign, in angry response to Bush claims that Kerry attended few Intelligence briefings, said that Kerry had at one time been the Vice-Chairman of the Intelligence campaign. In response, the Bush people gleefully (Fox's word) returned fire by saying that it was BOB Kerrey, not JOHN Kerry who was Vice-Chairman of the Intelligence committee.

Clinton is the most effective liar of our time

A few days before the 9/11 Commission released its report, I called their press office. The commission had issued a press release announcing the date, time and city of their press conference about the report, but not the location. This was Tuesday, the day after the Sandy Berger story had broken and the press officer was frazzled.I informed who I was and told him I had noticed the location of the press conference wasn't in the release and asked him where it was. He asked me if I had registered for the event. I told him no. He said I'd...

9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said Friday that he believed ex-President Bill Clinton when Clinton told the Commission he "misspoke" in a 2002 speech where he detailed an offer from Sudan to have Osama bin Laden extradited to the U.S. But Kerrey also admitted that if he or any of the other commissioners had challenged Clinton's account, it would have split the Commission along partisan lines and short-circuited efforts to keep their findings unanimous. Story Continues Below "He said that he misspoke so I believe him," Kerrey told WDAY North Dakota radio host Scott Hennen. "I choose to believe him on...
