Geffen wanted Clinton to grant a pardon to convicted killer of 2 FBI agents, Leonard Peltier.
-------

I've heard that many times, but does anyone know what Geffen's connection to Peltier was? I mean was he just an Indian buff, or what?

And, I'll admit to very little familiarity with the case, but isn't killing two FBI agents a little unpardonable?

Thanks for posting the whole transcript.

Do you all see what I was saying about his circular and incoherent thoughts??


BTW...I have a confession..but at one point, while reading that article, the voice that was saying those words, sounded just like that Judge at the Anna Nicole hearing the other day....my mind had morphed Sy's interview into one given by the judge....LOL (I kill myself sometimes.)

WHY THE GEFFEN IMBROGLIO SIGNALS CLINTON'S END
'HILLARY'S STRATEGY--NOBODY GETS TO CRITICIZE HER' -- CHRIS MATTHEWS
with a WARNING FOR DAVID GEFFEN

[SwatTeam]

You are so right. They are able to change the focus every single time. They certainly managed to change the image of the investigation of Clinton from violating the civil rights of a private citizen to "just sex".

[windchime]

The statement was true about former President George H. W. Bush. Perhaps the article to which he refers wasn't clear in stating WHICH President Bush.

"Was he still a closet moderate who had once favored legalization of abortion as well as the equal rights amendment to the Constitution, or had he converted fully to conservatism?"

[debg]

LOL. They're both name droppers, too.

Wonder if Prince Bandar will respond to this?

[Bahbah]

LOL. You slay me too.

I have been away for a while so am just catching up on the thread.

It will take me some time :)

Snugs, I am gonna have to ASK you, no, beg you, not to post any more pictures of your delicious dessert creations.

I did not realize that giving up sweets for Lent would be THIS HARD!!

Some have said that this case is a freemumia cause for white leftists.

[altura]

Thank you. That site is certainly full, even cluttered, but it did enable me to remember the case, which sounds incredibly complicated.

I agree that this seems to be a case of white guilt, coupled with a murky case and a sympathetic 'victim'.

Anyway we all know that all Indians are noble savages, so what else is new?

HEAR! HEAR!

HERSH: Well, I don't think there's any question but much of the senior military leadership do not think it's the wise thing to do. Of course, if the president orders it, it will happen. But they are very skeptical.

For example, I was told -- I hinted at it in the article -- that we could have a carrier in trouble in the Straits of Hormuz. There's very little room to maneuver, and a carrier, when it's recovering planes that are, you know, landing after attacking and trying to recover the planes, their motions, their movements are predictable. They have to have the wind in a certain direction. They could be vulnerable to attack.

Well well, BUSTED SEYMORE!!!

Let me explain:

It appears that if Hersh is talking to anyone, he is talking to old, retired Military personnel, looking for attention.

The Carriers in the Gulf DO NOT have to turn into the wind to either launch or recover their aircraft. THEY ARE FAST ENOUGH TO MAKE THEIR OWN WIND, if they need to.

Carriers will still use available winds, but they don't have to. The newer Carriers are so fast that their battle groups have a hard time keeping up when they go to speed.

Hersh is either making it up, or talking to idiots not up to speed on what our current Carriers can do.

Its always nice to have an extra 25 knots blowing across the deck, because then the CAT stroke can be dialed back to just a nice push in the butt coming off the deck, but if they need to, they can crank it up to a necksnapper if the wind aint around, or like I said, they can just make the wind by doing a quick sprint.

Hersh and whoever is advising him are dopes.

[Pukin Dog]

Just to add:

I would surely like to see the PT boat that can get within 1000 yards of a Carrier without getting eaten up by a Destroyer in seconds.

It aint gonna happen, and like I said, Seymore is talking to some really old people if he thinks the Navy is worried about a stupid PT boat getting near a Carrier.

[maica]

Hersh may also be spatially challenged and sees a huge air craft carrier in one part of his brain, and the "small" Persian Gulf in another part of his brain, and concludes that a carrier is constrained just by traversing the Strait of Hormuz.

Side note: the Japanese are approaching Hawaii in Tora! Tora! Tora! on AMC right now. Uh-oh, Sunday morning stateside.

[eeevil conservative]

ROFLLLL!!

[eeevil conservative]

LOL! YOU ROCK!!

[eeevil conservative]

MUAH!

;-)

my life is now complete!

[Txsleuth]

Methinks that Prince Bandar will be speaking with the POTUS really soon...if not already.

[Txsleuth]

Hersh and John Murtha have the same "sources"...

Those sources make them both sound like looney tunes...IF they exist.

[Bahbah]

I hope the President DID divert money and hide it. I hope he DOES have a bunch of black ops on-going. And furthermore, I hope the democrats know it, can't prove it, and choke over it!

AMEN...my very thoughts. What's the problem with that, I sez to meself.
