Andy Card may very well have been George W. Bush's biggest mistake as president.
Guess at whose house she dropped off the letter? Hint : She's related to him.
Rokan Al-Anbuge is Iraq's former liason with UN weapons inspectors- he was Iraq's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations
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.
One would think if they had actually spoken to Card, they would have the same story as the rest.

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
Happens in every administration.
So, Andy wanted to "Cut and Run" too.
I love it when we squeel with delight when a lib starts telling the truth about happenings inside a lib administration, but are peeved when our side offers an insight. Transparency is something to be for,not against. And not just when it hurts those who you oppose.
When Bob Woodward decides who shall be our Secretary of Defense will be the time I stop voting.
Correct me if I'm wrong: isn't Card the one who got sacked?
I suspect this fact is rather instructive.
Retired? What a crock, he was fired (and it was long overdue).
Why? Is it wrong for Card to advise the President to remove Rumsfeld?
This shoots the whole "state of denial" claim. Bush wasn't being spoon-fed happy news, he got differing opinions from different people, and made real decisions.
Nobody on the left respected Card as an advisor to the president, and now they are going to say he was god-like and should have been listened to?
Powell is a liberal puke.
Don't presume this story is true. Card is on the Laura Ingraham show right now categorically denying this quote.
Washington is a stinking hole of partisan backstabbing and over-paid, CYA bureaucrats who think they should run the country, make blood sport of "taking the big guy down," and want their names in books. Their cover is "free speech" and the "public's right to know". Neither the State Dept. nor the Pentagon are immune from the disease.
Add the artful Mr. Woodward. He wrote two very favorable books on the administration -- apparently just enough to gain false confidences. He frames his themes to boost book sales, and voila. The inevitable hit piece.
How some people manage to run a war, a state department, or the CIA for that matter, when you're plagued with the stupid and vainglorious is an amazement.
Glad this a-- is gone, probably had something to do with Laura Bush going to the tv shows to cut us (non-Miers fans) down. I don't know whose idea was this exactly, but I believe he was still there when this took place. Whoever suggested it is an idiot.
Amazing that our President ever trusted this Card.
