Lots of noise, but not enough oomph to push him off!
Who knows what type of momentum may still be gained. As someone who’s in keeping with his word, I think he should resign for simple fact that he said he would if the report portrayed him negatively. But, Politicians aren’t always held accountable for what they say. I see that seems to be a global political fact.
There are some charges hanging over his head, too...if he’s charged, he may finally be forced out.
Always some fuel to add to the fire somewhere, it seems...

Here’s a little example of something that’s been mentioned on this thread. Note the KS Governor is using the Blame Bush tactic, but remember also that all 50 governors opposed the federalizing of the National Guard in effect. Ammunition given to the Dems? Could have been...something to be prepared for more of the same I’d think.
Perhaps a diplomatic gesture of support for Israel?
I don’t think so. When you say for Israel, are you meaning as a country or Olmert?
P.S. What the hell are you do up at this hour! LMAO!
I meant Israel the country. Just got up - normal time for work.
Need more coffee -
Ok, now that I understand the context, I’d say I don’t think so. That’s a default and known position, and wouldn’t require any actions to emphasize the point. Usually DOS wants to be in the middle of problem solving situations so they can do their best to screw the whole thing up (lol) semi-sarc. I think their honestly not sure how it’s going to turn out over there. That’s my read.
Sorry to bail. If I hit the bed now, I can get up at a decent hour in the am. I re’d to you btw. We’ll see what tomorrow brings!
This is tomorrow my friend - get some rest nighters.
Good morning Workerbee —
Not enough caffiene in my system to try to be coherent (welllll...) so just clocking in, for now.....
Looks like I just missed Jedward....
Good morning Sir. Didn’t miss him by much.
Wonder why Hugo wasn’t invited....

But then again, they are both crazy enough.
Exchanging view or selling weapons grade uranium?
” There will be very little the two egomaniacs will be in agreement on. “
I know that I hold the minority (of one, seemingly) opinion here — but I’m still seeing the “monster under the bed”..
For all their differences, Iran, NK, and Venezuela/Cuba have one thing in commom — they’re all Russian client-states, to one extent or other.
(I know that ‘conventional wisdom’ says that NK is a Chinese client — but the Kim clan has historically leaned more towards Russia, while holding China at arm’s length.)
