It seems that everything controversial that is going
on now can be traced back to the Rockefeller memo.

Yes, it can, but sadly, America no longer hands/shoots/uses the electric chair for traitors.

For a Trotskyite Hitchens gets it right quite often.

I think we are in a death struggle in this country and it is the enemy within that is the most dangerous. If this country and government were really united we would have had our troops home a year ago and the "insurgency" in Iraq would have been a non issue. Insurgencies only grow when they see they can wait out the opposition. With the actions of McCain and company our problems are truly bipartisan now. Our enemies know that by January of next year they stand a very real chance of our defacto surrender.

I mostly agree with with. My only disagreement is that the damned Dems are NOT going to take both House; they are NOT going to take over even one.

And McQueeg is NOT going to win the '08 GOP presidential primary.

Amazing self inflicted ignorance abounds.

Niger
Exports - commodities: uranium ore, livestock, cowpeas, onions


CIA Fact Book


Charles Krauthammer remarked on Fox News a while back (concerning Wilson's mission to Niger),"Niger has two commodities to export, uranium and sand. Iraq already has sand."

Charles wasn't aware of the cowpeas nor Saddam's desperate need to find a reliable source.

Think the Demo minority will understand they have been 'exposed'?

How about ALL of the Senators on the Senate Intelligence Committee ? Where the h*** are the Republicans now, and how did they produce such a shoddy, ill-conceived report? Mr. Hitchens is clearly smarter than any of these morons, but it makes no sense that with all their hearings, and all their bluster, the Senators on that Committee couldn't come up with something plausible. They are truly a disgraceful bunch. Pathetic.

I'm late finding this thread, and only did because I "searched" to see if the following was already posted. It's a 9-11-06 radio interview with Christopher Hitchens.

Nice addition to your thread.

In general, Senators and their staffs don't like big words or long sentences. The report was probably hand done with crayons on unbleached, writing tablet paper.

These guys think ahead. They're worried what the islamofascists think about them. Just in case they, the Islamist, do take over, the Senators would want to keep their offices. That kind of thing.

Makes you wonder about Vietnam, the Kennedys, Truman and Korea, FDR and the New Deal....
