More from the strange musings of John Podhoretz and his thoroughly confused followers.

What's next? Does Lt Col Schaffer have homonymous quadrantanopia or complete bitemporal hemianopia? Yeah that's the ticket! Heck there's no story here, Shaffer is legally blind!

Or does Lt Col Shaffer have schizophrenia? It's clear he was hallucinating, right? So it's either that or he was on LSD. We have to dig into Shaffer's medical records now to get to the truth of Able Danger!

Obscure name "Mohammad Atta"?

How is it obscure....

Mohammad you don't even have to try to remember, its unbeliveably common (due to the arabic practice of giving the first name of somoene you greatly admire).

And Atta... its 4 letters, 2 of which are repeated. If I saw that name is sure as well would be easy to remember.

Why is Jpod the clown seemingly working so hard to discredit this every day?

I fart in his general direction...

I think Podhoretz has come down with a bad case of doughnut poisoning. He's perfectly willing to take an odd, rather tenuously speculative e-mail to further his supposition that Schaffer is a fraud, rather than just a cautious "Wait and see..." attitude. He's now staked his credibility on tearing down Schaffer with as little evidence as he says there is in favor of him.

Kind of odd. Attack the Republican President Bush (Cindy "Propaganda Whore" Sheean) get national credibility the same day.

Attack a Dem former President (Lt Col Shaffer) and have your character immediately assassinated.

For example. Accuse Republican John Bolton = become National figure.

Accuse John Kerry (Swift Boat Vets)immediately attacked because a Republican once gave them money.

Odds isn't it?

Has Podhoretz gone 'round the bend'? Why not just shut up and let events play out. Weldon, after all, sits with an ace in the hole, a naval officer who apparently knows even more than Lt. Colonel Shaffer and is yet to be heard from. You have to ask, given his desperation, who is Podhoretz covering for?

If any of the radio talk-show hosts who will be interviewing Lt. Col. Shaffer today is reading this, it might make for an interesting question -- does he have an associative memory?

I guess the fact that three other intel officers have affirmed Shaffer's claims doesn't enter into Podhertz's thinking.

After all the years of Clintonian obfuscation, stonewalling and denial, how some so-called conservatives can still want to shoot the messenger and believe the political hacks is beyond me. The 9/11 Commission has changed its story several times since the Able Danger story broke. Normally, that would indicate that the source has more veracity than the target. I don't know what Podhertz is up to, but it sure doesn't smell right.

Podhoretz has his sources. Has he been getting an earfull from someone who doesn't want this story out there?

For a long time, it's been clear that John Podhoretz is just a bit light above the shoulders to be relied upon to write too regularly.

Speaking of maladies, If Col. Shaffer's and Congressman Weldon's revelations are not fully ivestigated, I will be throughly convinced that Washington and MSM now has a terminal case of 'cranio-rectosis' rather than merely a chronic one.

I've always respected Podhoretz, so I don't understand what's cooking here. Is his brain fried, is he "bought and paid-for," or is he hinting what he won't/can't say?


Also, is it "pod-HOR-its" or "puh-DOR-its" or something else? Anyone know?

I put NRO into my spam filter long ago. I'll read their stuff here on FR and thus avoid the crap by heeding barf alerts.
