Card and Powell really should have kept their mouths shut.

Andy Card may very well have been George W. Bush's biggest mistake as president.

JANUARY 8, 2003 : (SPIES : SUSAN LINDHAUER DELIVERS A LETTER TO US GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL WHICH REVEALED HER ACCESS TO AND CONTACTS WITH MEMBERS OF IRAQI LEADER SADDAM HUSSEIN'S REGIME) n. On or about January 8, 2003, SUSAN LINDAUER, a/k/a “Symbol SUSAN,” delivered, to the home of an United States Government official, a letter in which LINDAUER conveyed her established access to, and contacts with, members of the Saddam Hussein regime, in an unsuccessful attempt to influence United States foreign policy. - "Text of indictment against American spying for Iraq," Findlaw. com, March 11, 2004

Guess at whose house she dropped off the letter? Hint : She's related to him.

Wisam Noman al-Anbuge and Raed Rokan Al-Anbuge...who with Susan Lindhauer "unlawfully, willfully and knowingly would and did act in the United States as agents of a foreign government, specifically the government of Iraq, without prior notification to the attorney general, as required by law" from approximately October 1999 through March 2002; they provided Iraqi agents info about Iraqi dissidents living in the US...

Susan Lindhauer had worked for Peter DeFazio D-OR/ Rep. Ron Wyden, D-OR./ Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun, D-Il

Susan Lindhauer was a Democrat congressional staffer, a US News and World reporter...

Susan Lindhauer tried to influence her second cousin Andrew Card, White House Chief of staff on behalf of her friends in the Iraqi Intelligence Service from whom she received about $10,000.

Susan Lindauer, the former Democratic congressional aide charged with spying for Iraq, was arrested several months after meeting with an FBI agent who posed as a Libyan intelligence agent looking to recruit support for Iraqi groups attacking U.S. forces in the aftermath of the war.

According to the indictment charging Lindauer with conspiracy to spy for Iraq, that meeting took place on June 23, 2003, in Baltimore, Maryland. The indictment charges that Lindauer and the agent "discussed the need for plans and foreign resources to support [resistance] groups operating within Iraq."

The indictment says Lindauer met with the agent again on July 17, 2003, to discuss the same topic. Then, according to prosecutors, the undercover FBI agent instructed Lindauer to leave a set of documents at a designated spot in Takoma Park, Maryland, the suburb of Washington, D.C., where Lindauer lives. The indictment says Lindauer left the requested documents on August 6, 2003, and left another set of documents on August 21, 2003. ------ "How Susan Lindauer Was Caught," Byron York, NRO, 11 March 2004

One would think if they had actually spoken to Card, they would have the same story as the rest.

Speculation :

To: genefromjersey :

Good question about the Anthrax mailings. It was soon after 9-11, & this broad met Iraqi Intel in NY eight days after. 83 posted on 03/11/2004 4:22:40 PM PST by txrangerette

She [Susan Linhauer] met on 9/19/01 in NYC-about 90 minutes away from the Princeton mailbox.The "window" on the mailing (as I recall) was from 9/18 to 9/20/01.

She also did some BS tale to the Wash Post about "acid on my steering wheel" and how it burned her hands and face. Mmmmmmmmm........ (How about contact dermatitis from making up a bomb? Dermal anthrax ? )

I saw this lovely on the news. She's got a mouth on her !! 95 posted on 03/11/2004 5:03:23 PM PST by genefromjersey

Between Card, Powell, and Wolfwitz it is hard to decide. History will not be kind to any of them.

Speaking of which, Card's very liberal cousin Lindhauer appears to be a tool of both the Iraqis and the Dems - it looks like she's another cog in the effort to build the myth of 9/11 being a US plot, as opposed to someone else's attack on the US.

How on earth have we managed to last this long without another 9/11 attack? It's mind boggling.

<< How on earth have we managed to last this long without another 9/11 attack? It's mind boggling ....

.... Zalmay Khalilzad, the American Ambassador (in Iraq,) rebuffed the renewed chorus of calls for American troops to withdraw from Iraq because the battle had become a recruiting ground for Islamic terrorists. >>

How soon we forget that when the world's meinkampf media pissed and moaned that Iraq would be a terrorist magnet and later pissed and moaned some more and to their last girlyboy at President Bush's:

"Bring 'em on!

The damned terrorists, those of them that aren't yet, thanks to the execution of the Bush Doctrine, dead, are in over their psychopathological heads in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the score of other parts of the far abroad being pro-actively kept safe by the projection of American power -- and have neither the courage nor the resources left over for America.

No actually Rummy was. Who was Gerald R. Ford's Sec of Defense who started us into the hollow Carter Military? Figure that one out and you'll understand why. The military was mismanaged and in trouble before Carter took over. Granted Carter did nothing about it either until the Iranian Crisis. But then again Carter didn't have carriers Flunk critical readiness evaluations either. When called upon we got underway. The only reason some underway time was lost wasn't due to the material condition of the ships but rather the fuel crisis of that time. Believe me the Inspectors who did the readiness evaluations back then were Top Notch. You passed because you earned it but the Navy made sure you passed it to start with.

There were problems a plenty including manpower shortages and in the 1976-79 desertion was a big problem. But the high desertion numbers started under Rummy in what became the walk away and get a quick Discharge military. There's quite a few from that area walking around with General Discharges from all branches of service. But nobody ask for proof of Honorable Discharge anymore. 31 days AWOL, turn yourself in at another command, and await a quickie Court Martial and a ticket out or sometimes the Commanding Officer just did Admin Discharges. As bad as Carter was a POTUS at least he finally stopped that and made persons do their contracted obligation. Navy reform also began under Carter but I think it had much more to do with who was Secretary of the Navy than Carter. By mid 1980 things were turning around and the Navy was returning to a more traditional posture.

Under the right person sure. Under Rummy whom I served under during his first miserable tenure and saw the results? No! I'm not lying about it Rummy was Secretary of Defense under Gerald R. Ford and started us into some of the military darkest days Post Nam up till the policies Poppy Bush and Clinton started. I'm not a Cheney fan nor a Aspin, Perry, or Cohen fan either.

Caspar "Cap" Willard Weinberger? Now there was a man who knew what he was doing. That man was our absolute best Secretary of Defense post WW2. I wish we had his wisdom and insight the past 6 years. He was the man who turned things around. Too bad some couldn't wait to undo all the positive changes he made.
