As I understand it Mr. Brown is still on the Government pay roll as a Consultant.
Unfortunately, I think that many people on this board are all too will to give Mr. Brown a Pass because he has an R next to his name.
Could you imagine the Outrage here if a Clinton Appointee had done the same thing?
We would be looking at 2000+ posts.
You know what? I think you've hit the nail on the head. What I'm saying here may well get me knocked out of the post but I really like what Pat Buchanan has to say about the war on terror and the administration. I cannot just follow blindly any stupid story that is handed to me because the person is a Republican or says he is Conservative - sort of like Rush Limbaugh doing drugs and being divorced 3 times and then poking fun at Clinton who frankly I believe should have stepped down for disgracing the nation and the office of the President.
But what I don't get is these people who just repeatedly squak about "MSM" and stupid liberalism and how great the Bush admin is when frankly I think it has let true blue conservatives down. Why the f--- am I paying to rebuild Iraq? Those people like to live in squalor so let them figure out their type of democracy.
If the Iraqis are our enemy then we should turn the entire place into a pile of glass and quit trying to make friends and going into door to door close range combat and get out of there. If they are not our enemy, we shouldn't be there in the first place.
Frankly, while all of our boys are bleeding the desert red for us in Iraq, North Korea and China are building up their arsenals getting ready.
It was our messing around in the business of other countries to begin with the let guys like Saddam come to power. We funded Saddam and Osama in their wars against Iran and USSR when we frankly should have butted out.
But what really burns me is no one seems to have the spine to say that this admin (I don't want to yammer on about the Democrats because the bible - Psalms - says it best "Where there is no vision, the people perish" and these people have no vision) has wasted time and money fighting wars in Iraq and leaving our borders weakened here at home, and leaving our entire manufacturing capacity raped by the Chinese.
I mean why are we spending so much effort to make friends in Iraq (or enemies for that matter).
I was speaking to a chinese software developer friend of mine who tells me that they think the US is weak because they haven't been able to surpress a country that had been under sanctions for 12 years after being defeated in war and that has no sizeable weapons to boot.
The Republicans own the house and the executive and soon the judicial. They had better act like conservatives and worry about the home front first; win wars they enter into decisively quickly without pussy footing or don't fight at all.
Keep in mind that we entered WWII in 1942 and the war was over for us thanks to us in 1945.
Those of us who call ourselves conservative better start demanding better of those who are stewards of our tax money instead of just looking for the letter after someone's name and saying if it's R they're right if it's D their wrong.
Getting sick of the lack of critical thought to see who in government is really for conservatism and what policies further that aim. And just saying you hate gay marriage and abortion doesn't make you a conservative either.
Why the hell should I be happy that anything about the CIA
I believe we have the msm, all to ready, to make sure no one with an R next to their name gets away with anything. But if you need to pound on this guy also, knock yourself out.
