I'd think that Ronald the Great's CIA boss Casey would fit the post to a "t".

I can't remember everything, it was about three weeks ago. I would hate to miss quote the interview. He knows security and what we are up against.

Maybe I can find a transcript.... looking

Just another example of how the left has crippled this country. So now he's worried about the tax status of an employee that will keep him from (and us) benefitting the US with his abilities. The anal orofice examination of anyone who might qualify for anything (from the right side of the equation) that keeps everyone "clean" will disqualify those who might show a little testosterone & will eventually cripple this nations ability to defend itself. I'm telling you folks, it's getting closer and closer, be prepared to defend yourselves because your outer armament is being stripped away by the PC culture. BUY AMMO. You will need it.

What the hell is going on? I can't believe that Bush got sandbagged!

Kerik is a total jerk that he didn't give up everything he knew would come out. He forgot? Not buying that! Also, this might be another CIA , etc. way to embarrass Bush.

This is disgusting.

Yeah, and since he's dead, he'd work for next to nothing.

Casey would have been fine as well.....

I watched a Discovery channel special the other night on Gulf War I. Reminded me of how much I liked the Bush I team.....James Baker, Powell, Scowcroft, Cheney, Schwartzkopf, Bush I......

I like GW, but I just don't like the people he surrounds himself with as much as his father's team on security and foreign policy. And I think GW's dad was much more on top of this type of stuff as "CEO" from his days at the CIA than W is.

Read somewhere that his wife is a Syrian Muslim. Could that be the reason??

Only if he had been keeping her as a slave, which by the way is permitted in the Koran.

Think about it this way: The head of Homeland Security with an illegal who worked for him.

I for one am glad he resigned if he's hired illegal aliens at anytime during his past. I am sick of republicans and democrats not doing a damn thing about illegal immigration and I don't want any one who has actually hired them in the past running the department of homeland security.

We are never going to get serious about illegal immigration until some terrorist cross our borders and kill hundreds of Americans. The regular illegals who come here and rape and murder American citizens and cost tax payers billions of dollars are not enough to make our government take it serious. When a terrorist cross our southern border and kills Americans(It will eventually happen) then maybe our government will do something serious about this problem(Although I still have no faith in them doing enough when this happens). It's pathetic that more innocent American citizens will have to die before we do something about this problem.

Our Country is doomed to fall unless there is a very serious policy change in our illegal and legal immigration policy.

"Kerik explained that he once worked for the Saudi's and that he is married to a Syrian, so he is in a good position to understand the radical Muslim mind. He is absolutely convinced that al Qaeda will again try for another spectacular event--they will try for another September 11th. "

http://www.tpromo.com/secmis/isc2004b.htm

(Las Vegas, Nevada (03/31/04) -- The keynote speaker for this year's Sixth Annual Industry Summit at ISC Expo West was Bernard B. Kerik, CEO, Giuliani-Kerik LLC, New York, NY. The theme of his talk was the continued security threat posed by Middle Eastern radical Muslim terrorist factions.)

I doubt it. In fact (if true) I'd call it a plus.

What a shame. None of this stuff mattered before? Kerik's been all over the globe working for this administration and now there's a problem.

Bush should have let this one turn into a fight. We might just have won it.

It's pathetic when the most qualified people can't serve because of Democratic hyperpartisanship.

This is why he is perfect for the job.
BR> OR.. has anyone thought that maybe it was the vetting that found something?

Wouldn't it be weird if it wasn't the LLL that got the goods on him?
