Kissinger?!

[alphadog]

Is this a joke?

[dirtboy]

Kissinger?!

It could be worse, they could have chose Darlin' Arlen Spector.

[Brandon]

No joke. As Dave Barry would say, "I am not making this up!"

I'm normally a pretty strong fan of the President, but this choice is disappointing.

Actually, a good appointment, because Kissinger will not be a loose cannon, and will do as he's told.

No one could possibly expect anything useful to come from such an exercise in futility, so it's just as well to have a pro running it who can keep it from getting out of control.

Meantime, Bush needs to straighten out the CIA and the FBI without waiting around for a report. It doesn't need an independent probe to do that, it needs some good, strong leaders at the top to replace Mueller and Tenet--one of whome is an incompetent, the other a clintonoid stooge.

Guiliani or even Ken Starr would have been better; a little prosecutorial and investigative experience.

Can you spell whitewash and stonewall?

"exercise in futility"

Really? I'm pretty sure the families who lost loved ones will disagree.

Now we'll get the truth.

Get to the Saudi problem, Mr. President....you don't need Henry Kissinger to tell you it was them.

[js1138]

How about Bob Barr?

I was hoping that I would never have to hear this man speak again. I never did and never will trust him.

I agree, I think that Kissenger is the perfect choice. I saw him on Greta Von Sustern's show, last week and he was really good. She couldn't get him to say one thing bad about Bush or the way he has handled the terrorist/Iraq situation. He was always one step ahead of her.

I just saw terrorism expert Steve Emerson (unbiased) on MSNBC say that Kissinger was an excellent choice. He said he met with him and others after 9-11 and that Kissinger was very well-informed and articulate on the issues. One of the best informed, he said. MSNBC anchor tried to get Emerson to say something negative, of course, but he did not. I think Kissinger is a good choice..as you said, he will not allow those seeking nothing but political points to score. President Bush said in his remarks that the commission will seek every detail, including the YEARS LEADING UP TO 9-11. Looks like he is not going to allow the clinton crowd to get away with their lies. Good for him.

I admire your restraint. The first term that came to my mind referred to reduced air pressure... '-}
