10. LOL you gotta read this bartcop line

=from Bartcop


Remember when President Codpiece landed on the aircraft carrier with his balls highlighted?
Matthews couldn't shut up about what a "great moment" that was in American politics.
He went on and on and on and on about twenty minutes after he'd made his point.
He couldn't shut up - it was the most fun Matthews ever had on-camera.

I never saw so many gay Republicans as I did that day.
Even Mr. Testosterone, G. Gordon Liddy, got wood watching Der Monkey strut his fake "stuff."

14. It was mentioned on the floor of the HOUSE today

The representative from Ohio read portions of it and incorporated them into his remarks. What's his name? I REALLY was impressed with him. Presidential material?

15. you should put that article in the header....it's explosive, and just

the sort of story the media ALWAYS ignore

I've been watching Cable "news" for over two hours, and haven't seen one mention of this; doubt if it'll see the light of day, either

this guy Wilkerson was Powell's TOP aide, for lord's sake!

http://news.ft.com/cms/s/afdb7b0c-40f3-11da-b3f9-00000e2511c8.html

In a scathing attack on the record of President George W. Bush, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, chief of staff to Mr Powell until last January, said: “What I saw was a cabal between the vice-president of the United States, Richard Cheney, and the secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld, on critical issues that made decisions that the bureaucracy did not know were being made. “Now it is paying the consequences of making those decisions in secret, but far more telling to me is America is paying the consequences.”

.............


Mr Wilkerson said such secret decision-making was responsible for mistakes such as the long refusal to engage with North Korea or to back European efforts on Iran. It also resulted in bitter battles in the administration among those excluded from the decisions.


Mr Wilkerson said his decision to go public had led to a personal falling out with Mr Powell, whom he served for 16 years at the Pentagon and the State Department.

“He's not happy with my speaking out because, and I admire this in him, he is the world's most loyal soldier."

don't you love that last sentence?

that'd go over big at Nuremberg-style trials, wouldn't it?
