President Bush’s greatest failing was in not cleaning out the rats nests of Clinton acolytes throughout the Executive Branch.

sunshine is the best antidote for a corrupt gov’t. By hiding the details of North Korea and Syria’s attmepts to build a plant to acquire nuclear bomb material, Bush is doing us no favors. He will go down in history as worse in this regard than Clinton if he keeps it up. Appeasing the North Koreans has never worked, and never will. Shining the light on their duplicitous activities with the Syrians is the only way to move things forward. If the UN was anything but a bunch of American hating socialists, we could take our case there. The new South Korean gov’t is much more in favor of firnmess when dealing with the North Koreans.

Patience, my friend, there is plenty more to this story, and this Administration indeed knows how to play it’s cards, except with the dealings with the Media. All will be revealed in due time, including the media/Dem party actions resulting in the deaths of many American soldiers. The media cannot hide from what they’ve done, and they will be held accountable. They should be looking over their shoulders every minute, if they know what’s good for them. They are on record, they are accountable, and they have turned against the United States of America. They are truly enemies of the United States, and they will pay.

A committee hearing might not get any press coverage at all, especially if it is classified. But, a couple dozen threads on this could speculate all kinds of disasters and intrigues.

closed door or open door, doesn’t matter

Congress is as leaky as a collander

we are going to get some juicy information out of this one way or the other . . . question is how do Syria/Iran/NK/Hez/Hamas react to what’s released

Shutting down the expensive air defense system and bombing a nuke plant at will seems juicy enough.

“Shutting down the expensive air defense system and bombing a nuke plant at will seems juicy enough.”

no doubt, but Congress already knows this stuff anyways, they want the back story along with the details and who knows, some unexpected revelations may come out that may spark . . . something

Iran knows better than to try anything after Hillary!08’s pledge to eradicate them like a bug.

I often wonder why President's don't completely clean out the State Dept and the CIA, etc when they take over the Executive Branch?? It seems to me there are MAJOR impediments [LAWS] in place that preclude firing of civil service career positions and major internal problems for new appointments.

I don't have an answer to my own question but I have to think that there are good reasons for every POTUS not completely clearing out the previous administration's personnel.

It is without question that the Bush Administration has suffered severely for the many Democrat holdovers within State and the CIA.

Well, and what do you get when you give up something? Ask Jimmuh and Condi.

BS...Bush is capitulating to the North Koreans in order to find a legacy through some worthless agreement with them. Just look what John Bolton our former UN ambassador is saying. He knows what is going on with the North Koreans and thinks the State Dept so wants to do something they will look the other way when the North Koreans continue to lie to our faces. By telling the world what the North Koreans and Syrians were doing, we would have the moral high ground, who gives a rat’s ass what the puppet sons Assad and Kim jon Il think. They are scum and deserve to be called out. Assad needs to be dealt with. He is helping rearm Hezbollah and using his country to transit Jihadi’s tio Iraq to kill our soldiers. Time for making nice is long over. You are judged by deeds not words.

things are pretty fluid in the region right now . . . lot of peace/truce talk with Syrian and Hamas, yet on the other hand today there were reports of IAF action over Lebanon (multiple sources saying anti-aircraft fire directed at Israeli jets and at least one source actually reported Israeli jets struck numerous targets in southern lebanon and the bekka)

now the release of this info . . .
