It looks like Bush may be losing supporters over Able Danger-like Mark Tapscott who is the Director of the Center for Media and Public Policy at The Heritage Foundation.

[Crazieman]

I really hate to say it, but while CFR annoyed the hell out of me, the gigantic pentagon coverup that extends two 'parties' is really worrisome.

[trubluolyguy]

Yeah it looks to me as if the Bush admin is covering up for the Clintonistas....I guess he thinks if the Hildabeast wins in '08 he will get the same treatment.

[Wormwood]

In other words, the Ruling Political Class is protecting itself.

I'm shocked! Shocked!

[MAD-AS-HELL]

regardless of party affiliation, DC'ers will always take care of each other. It's why Bush didn't go after Clinton etc. Only one think that is out of whack is that Clinton has been going to town against Bush and Bush has been too much of a pussy to retaliate.

Sorry guys, the GOP no stands for Grand ol' Pretenders. The era of big government is here to stay.

Add to this the Bushites' letting Sandy Berger get away with a minor fine for destroying original documents. The smell from this administration resembles that of a fetid New Orleans swamp.

They also refused to prosecute the Clintonistas who destroyed thousands of dollars worth of Federal property in the days before they left their little nest of criminality. Makes you wonder just what is in that FBI file filed away in Hillary's drawer...

[pawdoggie]

I have my own suspicions (educated, but factually unsupported) that both political parties have some major "gotchas" in regard to 9/11 that we have not heard about, and will not hear about, due to "gentlemen's agreement". "Able Danger" may be one that wasn't supposed to see the light of day.

Ok, I'm going to put on my little Tinfoil hat for a minute and say;

Maybe, just maybe, allowing the shut down of Able Danger was the price that President Bush was forced to pay in order to gain access into Louisiana after Katrina.

We know the President was held off by Governor Blanco at every turn. Some have said it was her incompetence but maybe not. We also know that the State of Louisiana's Homeland Security (Gov Blanco) refused to allow the Red Cross & the Salvation Army in to give food and water to the evacuees, some of which were dying because of it. And while we were all watching!

Oh Yes! The MSM was busy beating us all into a frenzy showing the poor helpless people and drumming into our heads the shouts and cries from Mayor Nagin, Governor Blanco for help. Help from the Federal Government, Bush! Yet we know that behind the camera Governor Blanco was refusing to allow the President to act. Why?

Then when Governor Blanco does allow the President to come in and save the people, all of a sudden the media is blaming FEMA for a supposedly slow response. (None of us were dumb enough to believe that line of bull crap, we all know better! We know it was Blanco. They got her on tape.)

Maybe, just maybe, the price President Bush was told that he must pay before he could save the lives of the people held there in New Orleans at the Superdome & the Convention Center, (by their own Democratic State Government) was that he must go along with the shutting down of the investigation into Able Danger.

Ok, Tinfoil hat removed. Carry on.

I only see two differences. The Republicans still are pro War on Terror while the Democrats are appeasers. The Republicans cut taxes, and spend like drunk Sailors. The Democrats increase your taxes, and spend like drunk Sailors.

[MNJohnnie]

Whaaa, I hate Bush. Why doesn't Bush do this, why doesn't Bush do that. When are the morons in the "Conservative" Establishment going to wake up to the fact that all this whining about Bush does is HELP the Hysteric Left? Maybe instead of spending every column whining about Bush they can actually tell us what is going on in Congress, what wacko ideas the Dems have or what we can do to advance our agenda? This one is particularly stupid since the very thing he whines about has all ready been corrected by the White House. The testimony is no longer being blocked by the Pentagon.

[BluH2o]

Just back after being absent from FR for over a week ... so I'm not completely up to date ... however, there's another thread (started two days ago) that states the DoD (Pentagon) has reversed their decision and will allow the witnesses to testify.

[Calpernia]

>>>>Why do Bush people keep protecting Clinton people from public scrutiny?

I wonder if blackmail is a factor?

[TomGuy]

There are more dots to connect regarding Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2 on terrorism than a Dalmatian has spots.

Bush 1 allowed ex-Iraqi military to settle in the US after GW1. dot
Ex-Iraqi military settled primarily in the Kansas City area. dot
Clinton showed weakness in dealing with Somalia. dot
Murrah OKC bombing. What became of the 'middle eastern' men who disappeared from the investigation? Some investigators seem to think they were Iraqi. dot dot dot dot dot dot
Where was Nichols from? dot dot dot

Bush 2 seems to be covering for Clinton who is covering his own posterior and, thusly, covering for Bush 1.

Ain't politics wonderful!

[alrea]

Between runaway spending and Able danger Bush is loosing credibility fast.

[cynicom]

Mom Bush calls Slick son. Dad Bush smarms all over the place with Slick. Young Bush protects Slick.

It is not the left over fish that smells.

[Reactionary]

The end result of corruption at the highest levels is that patriotic Americans are turned into enemies of a thoroughly corrupt system.

There is no end to it. And if *everyone* can be bought when it comes to Americans murdered by terrorists, there is no hope for this country. Why? Because the next time, it will be 100,000 Americans. And the next time they will again side with the enemy and look the other way.

[Cautor]

I'm in agreement with the sentiments of this writer. I'm sick of the Bush cover-up for the Clintons. I think it was bad for Bush I to cozy up to Clinton. It only pulls Bush down and helps cleanse the reputation of a rapist-liar. Now Able Danger. Enough already.

[PGalt]

Then change starts by getting rid of one of the co-conspirators, if you are so inclined to believe.

The obvious clear and present danger is The Democratic Crime Syndicate.
