"Easily", heh. We can alter or abolish the entire government or any portion of it, any time it becomes prejudicial to our peace and safety. Who cares about "easily"?

For the 1st time, France is a more stalwart ally than our own State Dept.:

French President Nicolas Sarkozy said a new U.S. intelligence report saying Iran stopped its nuclear weapons development in 2003 reinforces international concerns and should not diminish pressure for new sanctions

From the same WAPO link as above

we needed to purge these pukes when George took office with his new broom... But, NO! We had to try for that “new tone in Warshington!” Phhhhhhhhhhht!!!

Porter Goss apparently thought he had carte blanche to clean up the CIA. I'd give a lot to know just how he ended getting tossed out on his ear, returning the Agency to the old status quo. Is Bush so stupid or enamored of the "new tone" he doesn't realize those s.o.b.'s are out to get him? Just who has all the power? The Plame affair was just part of a much larger pattern of deliberate CIA anti-White House ops.

From the article:

Fifth, many involved in drafting and approving the NIE were not intelligence professionals but refugees from the State Department, brought into the new central bureaucracy of the director of national intelligence.

Isn't this Negroponte? Who's he working for? Have I missed something else?

"We need a conservative president to fire all the leftist clinton hold-overs in the CIA. "

Wow, the WaPo published this? Are they actually interested in the President, Congress and policy-makers getting honest information? All WaPo has to do is extend that interest in honest information to the rest of their newspaper and they'll really have something.

Bolton for Secretary of State!!

Bolton says: “While the president and others argue that we need to maintain pressure on Iran, this “intelligence” torpedo has all but sunk those efforts, inadequate as they were.”

Gawd, I love Bolton! INTELLIGENCE TORPEDO ~~ HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Thanks for posting his words AB 182!

Why stop at the CIA? Let’s go to the JustUs Department, which went after Scooter Libby and gave Sandy Berger a slap on the wrist. The EPA and its global warming nonsense. The IRS, which targeted conservatives under Clinton and no one was fired for that abuse of power. And the mother of all liberal bastions, the State Department. They subvert our system of government by having their own foreign policy. Who elected them? When in doubt, fire them.

Bingo... and that’s only half of it. Traitors all. Too bad the DOJ has been corrupted from the start as well... no action whatsoever. Yep, can’t wait to get Clinton, Sandy and the rest back on Pennsylvania Avenue. /s

Iran has said what they’re doing out of their mouths... doesn’t intel use MEMRI as one of their ‘open sources’ along with the NYTs and WaPo?

(My bad, that must be bluffing, while chanting death to America with a mushroom cloud behind... don’t cha know it’s part of Muslim doctrine... but let’s not say it’s a hudna or al tiqiyya, it may offend. Sure we’ll be obliterated, but what about their feeeelings. I’m sure our universities will invite Mahmood back to show that we believed him all the time... maybe nominate him for the next Nobel at least, we must welcome him into the world of superpowers.)

It’s a bald faced lie (there must have been an MK2 through our television programming, hence we missed it, or a queen of diamonds); So now we say ignoring all the resolutions (Sure Ritter says different, maybe like Saddam they have a type with him with someone underage or a Russian asset, he did go back and marry her later... and you wondered how he could get fired because he knew the lies of the regime, even said Gen. Norman didn’t wipe out the delivery systems, yet flipped to peace and nada on a dime. Yet somehow he still has access to nuke intel, when it’s sooo hard to get in, they’re not doing anything anyway (forget that 70 on the high grade uranium they found when it’s usually 3 to 5%), guess they made that up too. These bastards think this is a game.

Oh and Mahmood/el Baradei, it has nothing to do with Iran sending Quds into Iraq ... in case they thought we forgot. Oh, and we owe them at least 444 days of bombing.

Statement from Jimmy Carter, the VIPS in 5, 4, 3, 2...

Please, El Baradei has nothing in in his background period. That’s why when Israel did their mini Osirak II, he stated “We don’t know if they have anything, as we know of they don’t, if someone knew they should have told us”.

I said WTF? Tell you?

Actually President Bush and Former President Clinton do get along, the odd man out at that event was former President Jimmy Carter. Nobody, even the Clintons bothered talking to old sour pusses former President Carter and First Lady Rosalyn. I hear that the Clintons and Carters have no particular affection for each other./Just Asking - seoul62......

Bolton is a hero. But if ‘they’ can keep him out of office at the UN, and the same tribe run a good man like Porter Goss out, we are in trouble.

It’s a sad day when an IAEA source is less gullible than the US. It will be a monumentally tragic day when this report is proved wrong.

Hideous people tend to do hideous things. But as usual we shall probably see next to nothing in public discourse brought out by this administration to challenge the integrity of this latest report.
