I missed it by two minutes. Sounds priceless.

FOX keeps reporting McCallifs "Bush is gone" remark. I just heard them report it again.

I agree--too many people think that those who think like them are infallible--not so!

Next week is going to be very interesting, with Tony Blair in D.C. I've heard there will be a joint press conference. That will be interesting.

Oh, and Brian Wilson is on Fox now, saying that this little McAucliffe incident, happened down on the street, as McAwful was driving by, he rolled down his window and shouted it. Wilson called it "Drive-by spin!" LOL!

Members of the Senate have already said that there is WMD information waiting to be declassified. Beyond that, I believe that Bush has people building a huge report on everything they have found in Iraq.

They have gotten all the Dems on the record, and I think at the right time, they are going to beat them over the head with it. FReepers keep forgetting that our President and his people are NOT stupid. They got the White House against the most evil, fraudulent party known to man.

I'll get nervous when BUSH gets nervous. He looks pretty calm to me. Let the dems have their party. The morning hangover is going to be a bitch.

BUSH is not the LIAR here.

...All during and since the 1990's the CLINTONS and their TV Minions kept telling us that the CLINTON Administration was not soft on Terrorism = The Big Lie.

As DICK MORRIS now confirms, WHY did the CLINTONS refuse 3 Offers to extradite OSAMA bin LADEN from the Sudan during the 1990's to a U.S. Trial that would have prevented the Attacks on US on September 11, 2001..?


WHY???

He was wrong in '02 and I believe he will be wrong in '04 too as I think we can easily pick up 2-3 more seats. Dean wants McAwful gone; guess Dean has figured out the Clinton's control McAwful and thus the entire DNC.

"He should have come out with this early this week, instead of waiting until Friday night."

I disagree. I think this was, "strategerized," particularly if Bush has an ace up his sleeve (which he usually does.) I would expect a significant find in Iraq to be revealed early next week, certainly by Wednesday.

Because he doesn't want the rat's nest that is the CIA unravelled. Fall on the sword, give space for the next saboteur in line.

Quiet now! Don't warn the rats of the impending self destruction trip they are on. The self hanging rope a dope trick is about become center stage. GW has set the ropes out and is allowing them to self destruct in the most famous Rope a Dope trick in the history of Congress.

By the way I just saw the photo of the fly by of your pilot friend,Officer Snodgrass, in the Tomkat about 12 inches sideways and off the deck of the carrier. He had to be one of the best Tomcat Drivers in the Navy. Of course none of them were bad unless they wanted to be.

Rather than give up the additional sources for the statement, they have chosen to bow out and take a few hits. That is the more interesting part.

I can only hope that Bush will come home and clean house.

With all that we've learned from Iraq how can this information really make this much of a firestorm? Just doesn't make sense to me.

Phil's note: Please feel free to use the following white paper I prepared:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/01/20030128-19.html

President Delivers "State of the Union"
The U.S. Capitol
9:01 P.M. EST
For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
January 28, 2003

Excerpt follows:

Paragraph 67 of 86:

The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed in the 1990s that Saddam Hussein had an advanced nuclear weapons development program, had a design for a nuclear weapon and was working on five different methods of enriching uranium for a bomb. The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. Our intelligence sources tell us that he has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production. Saddam Hussein has not credibly explained these activities. He clearly has much to hide.

~~~

Phil's note: I went to the online transcript of the President's State of the Union Address (see URL above) and copied the 67th paragraph with its second sentence intact.

That sentence in its unredacted entirety is as follows:

The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.

To this day Tony Blair stands behind his government's statement that Saddam Hussein sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.

He notes the British analysis was secondly sourced. Certain forged intelligence was planted to sabotage the president, perhaps by our great friends the French.

Be that as it may, Iraq and Niger go back twenty years in uranium deals, and Blair maintains the current dealings took place.

Democrats have distorted the matter, stooping to their standard trick of misquoting: they lop off the attribution to the British government in Democrat attack ads.

Democrats have succumbed to mass amnesia as well, forgetting they supported Clinton's attacks on Iraq in 1998. The contemporaneous statements of Kerry, Biden, Daschle et al cited Iraq's WMD threat.

There's also a great deal of Monday-morning ass-covering by unnamed CIA weasels, O Dear We Pleaded With The President Not To Use That--I think these CIA lowlifes should come forward and fall on their swords.

Add to this the breathtaking failure of George Tenet, the Clinton Director of Central Intelligence, to foresee and forestall the attacks on Continental United States (CONUS) by Osama bin Laden, and one sees a man with his pants on fire and no one to blame but himself.

He might blame his appointer, Clinton, who refused the offer of Osama bin Laden by Sudan three times beginning in 1995.

Tenet pronounced as dogma the meeting of 911 commander Mohammed Atta and Iraqi intelligence agent Al Ani in Prague did not occur--despite the insistence of the Czech government that it did.

Now come the 90% Democrat media to trumpet the smear of "Bush lied".

Lost in their banging of trashcans in the alley are the twin admissions of CIA that the progress of Iran and North Korea in processing their fuel rods into nuclear weapons material is more advanced than previously thought.

[Just remember August 1998 when the CIA said rogue nations wouldn't pose an ICBM threat for fifteen years, North Korea threw a Taepodong over Japan. CIA: Catastrophe Is Assured.]

In sum, the Democrats would have you believe, if they chop up sentence two of paragraph sixty-seven of a seven-month-old speech, you're more endangered by that than by 1) Iraq seeking enriched uranium; 2) Iran producing enriched uranium; 3) North Korea producing enriched uranium.

To review: Iraq, Iran, North Korea have revealed their pursuit of nuclear weapons.

QED (Quod Erat Demonstratum, thus it is shown): Bush was spot on with his Axis of Evil label for these three bad actors.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Tenet gone in the next few days or weeks. I'm not certain it will come to that, but knowing how the Dems operate, and how the Repubs operate, I just suspect a deal will be made which allows both sides to save face.

Tenet may have been ready to go. As CIA directors go, they don't hang around all that long. I think it's probably time for him to go. I've not been a big fan of his over time.
