2/10    I like Woz, and I like iWoz, but let me tell ya, no one worships
        him because he has the charisma of an highly functioning
        Autistic person. Meanwhile, everyone worships Jobs because
        he's better looking and does an amazing job promoting himself
        as God. I guess this is not the first time in history. Case in
        point, Caesar, Napolean, GWB, etc. Why is it that people

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

8/5     Regarding NKorea relesing the journalists, here's what I think the
        actual deal between Kim and Obama is:
        - Both agree that Kim needs to save, or gain, face to pave the way for
          his son's succession and for NK's stability.
        - Both agree that Obama doesn't like losing face by publicly
          apologizing.

        Just like the way Clinton was the first African-American president.
        \_ Two wars, a banking, housing, and general economic crisis, a truly
           massive deficit, and now, Swine Flu.  Has any president except for

vadkins From a transcript of a news conference given today by Curt Weldon, he sai d: The first week the story broke in the New York Times, I was in Pennsy lvania that Friday doing district work and I got a call at my office. My chief of staff took the call, and it was from a person Id never met in my entire life. She was on vacation and a sked my chief of staff for me to call her back. Would you please call her back and ask her what she wants? And her response to my chief of staff was, Please tell C ongressman Weldon Ive done nothing wrong. my kids will tell me the same thing before I discover something big is wrong. View Replies To: vadkins Weldon mentioned this call from Gorelick a few weeks ago on the Dom Giord ano Show (1210AM - Philadelphia). He said she called his office out of t he blue to tell him, Weldon, that she had "done nothing wrong". Which, of course, REALLY surprised and confused W eldon because he had never accused Gorelick of anything at all and in fa ct had not even given her a whole lot of thought. Especially, after the report in NYPost about a possible AlQaeda attack in Yemen: ie: The USS Cole three weeks before the bombing. I still want to see how the timeline of Sandy Burglar and his pants fit i nto all this with the 911 Commission/Able Danger. View Replies To: NavySEAL F-16 I still want to see how the timeline of Sandy Burglar and his pants fit i nto all this with the 911 Commission/Able Danger. And it would also be interesting to see how Bill Clinton and his pants fi gure into it. View Replies To: thoughtomator Jamie Gorelick was not only deputy attorney general of the United States under Clinton, a position she assumed in March 1994 and held until 1997; but from May 1993 until she joined the Justice Department, Gorelick als o served as general counsel of the Department of Defense. These dates ar e not relevant except possibly to point out that Gorelick was familiar w ith and worked in the DoD. View Replies To: vadkins I am hoping all this heat of Weldon's provides some illumination on this creepy affair, with heavy on the hope. We have been burnt so many times with the smoking gun scenario which disintegrates into nothingness. View Replies To: Ursus arctos horribilis Many politicians will scamper for the shadows to preserve what they have. It takes real statesman to risk their positions to guard the nation. My belief is that it is touch and go for the US at this time, considering all the self-serving magistrates we are saddled with. Unless the people become more aware of the typical shallowness of their elected officials , and vote for a big change, we are headed for the trash heap of history . Why doesn't he just go ahead and hold the pre ss conference and give his speech and let the chips fall where they may? I'm starting to wonder if this is going to be like Geraldo opening up A l Capone's vault. View Replies To: Lancey Howard The line from Shakespeare, in Hamlet, is "The lady doth profess too much, methinks." Gertrude says it about the Queen in the play within the play , but inadvertently she is also talking about herself. View Replies To: concerned about politics a position she assumed in March 1994 and held until 1997; Prob'ly just a coincidence that the 9/11 Omission studied documents only going back to 1998. View Replies To: NavySEAL F-16 Just my opinion: I know it's fun to hope Sandy Berger is implicated someway in shutting do wn Able Danger. I think it far m ore likely Bill Cohen, Secretary of Defense, or Hugh Shelton, Chairman J oint Chiefs, ordered Able Danger dismantled after Pentagon lawyers procl aimed it 'illegal'. Those lawyers didn't have a clue about specific terrorists. They were onl y concerned with the military, via Able Danger, violating the rights of legitimate American citizens. View Replies To: concerned about politics Even though Jamie Gorelick left the Pentagon in 1997, and Able Danger was dismantled in 2000, she would have maintained contact with Cohen, Shelt on, and Pentagon lawyers. It's not outrageous to think she might even ha ve informally, been asked her opinion on the legality of Able Danger. There's no doubt in my mind, Gorelick's first instinct would have been to protect the Clinton administration from allegations the Pentagon had a secret project going, that was violating the rights of American citizens . View Replies To: vadkins About a month ago, I was listening to an interview of somebody who wrote a biography about Hillary. I believe the guy was a Lib eral NYT columnist, whos taken a lot of flak for his book on Clinton. When asked about Able Danger and a Hillary connection, he responded he wa sn't familiar with the details because it hadn't come up until after he researched and wrote his book. But he did insinuate the operation was si milar to something that would have come out of the Clinton's "War Room" which was headed up by Hillary. He also explained how much of the docume ntation from the "War Room" was destroyed before the Clintons left the W hite House, which would explain why there's not much evidence of the Abl e Danger project. Of course this is all supposition but it does follow a pattern of the Cli ntons. View Replies To: YaYa123 My take is a little different than yours. I believe that the "Gerolick Wa ll" was put in place so the DOJ could not garner any information that th e DOD had gleaned as to Clintoons campaign financing scandals. also (ina dvertantly) covered up the Atta-AQ link and that he was in this country. View Replies To: Pete'sWife Something new in the interview. That Able Danger had been TASKED to examine Chinese proliferation. We hea rd before that Stanford and Condalezza Rice had been implicated (yeah ri ght, Condalezza was selling military tech to the Chinese from her Academ ic bureaucracy post) ... I listened to this press conference, although covera ge was interrupted whenever the House was back in session. I saw the blogger wondered where the mosque was -- where the woman purcha sed a photograph of Atta. Army Air Corps I am very intrigued by the dirty dealings of the Clinton admin and their intricate cover ups. I have always felt there is a lot of nasty stuff go ing on because of how quickly the usual suspects in the congress and the media work to change the subject of slander the players. There are a lot of hot points here that the liberal side is already worki ng to discount. But, if these details are valid some toxic stew is about to hit the fan. General Lambert could be a real corker in that he is reportedly 'incensed ' that one of his charges was ordered by an outside party to destroy doc uments under his control. And even more curious is the part about the Jamie Gorelick phone call. In the developing stages of this story, before anyone even knew what Able Danger was, Weldon got information of it's mission and the Atta connect ion. Then, out of the blue Gorelick ( a smart and devious Clinton hack) who hadn't been mentioned and was on no potential witness list made a ca ll to Weldon's to tell him she hadn't done anything wrong. Could she be the one who squeals like a piggy and exposes Sandy Berger's real mission? The Clinton's have gotten away with too much for too long. If they had st uck to the basic pastimes of Washington insiders like embezzlement and d ebauchery I wouldn't be that alarmed. But our national security is anoth er matter and I hope Weldon doesn't suffer something fatal before he ope ns this to the public. I know there is no one in the congressional insid ers club who will dare speak up against an Executive traitor, but maybe an open investigation will fry some underlings and end Hillary's career. I find it hard to accept that we have so few honest and patriotic men and women serving at our highest levels of government. View Replies To: vadkins When the civilian contractor tried to deliver his research it was refused because it contained information about US citizens. This would have bee n after Travel-gate had come to light. But if the Clintons set up the project from the War Room to use the mil itary resouces, I believe they wouldve found a way to retrieve the cont ractors research in a less formal manner. Its l...
