Brent Scowcroft travels to Seattle to meet Hu. Wonder how Georgie boy ....
... feels about that.

Maybe Poppy is trying to have Scowcroft and Kissinger gently inform Hu that his kid and Shooter are nuts. :shrug:

Never Forget: George W. Bush willfully violated National Security to cover-up his willful launch of a war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq.

3. Scowcroft is Bush I's bitch,
and he does his bidding quickly and efficiently.

About a year ago, he submitted to an interview for the New Yorker, which clearly had to be sanctioned by the old man, informing the world that Fuckface was utterly on his own with this Iraqi mess, that he'd never consulted his father about it in any way - and you know that this interview was done with full Bush I approval.

Scowcroft, who has no life of his own, even bought a home up near Kennebunkport so as to be closer to Poppy Bush. I find that terribly creepy.

So, sending him on any mission is definitely familiy business, and isn't it a sad turn of events when we've come to this?

4. That is creepy
I never knew that he bought a home near Kennebunkport so he could be closer. Hmmm.

This whole group is creepy, the older ones from the fathers first administration to the second ones current administration. Looking at them at times, I feel like they are not of this world.

5. the ryan trial in chicago is -very interesting-
Edited on Tue Apr-18-06 02:45 PM by madrchsod
he didn`t follow the money he followed the favors. very little money was ever brought up in the trial because it was how many and what kind of favors were handed out. there`s also an under current that politicians have a duty to represent the people, not the special interests, and if they don`t then they can be held accountable in court. Fitzgerald's`s strategy was brilliant in the ryan case. yup next is the "shackman decree" in chicago which may mean big problems for the mayor and Governor of illinois.
after watching him work it is clear to me that he is rolling people over in the plame affair and all the story's that are out there are bullshit planted by those who just maybe on their way to jail. Fitzgerald nailed almost 70 people in the ryan case before he got ryan so it certainly does not look good for the guys and gals involved in the plame affair.
it`s no longer follow the money it is follow the favors

oh i thought you would find this interesting. a radio station in chicago had a former boston prosecutor that was explaining what Fitzgerald did and why...it doesn`t look good for the whitehouse

7. Just let Fitzgerald do his job
You get it. It's how the best prosecutor works. It's not about the money or the favors - it's about all of it, including the power and the fear.

Fitzgerald is no showboat, but he will get the job done. ON HIS OWN TIMETABLE, I might add. The law is a slowly-moving, and sometimes ponderous, vehicle, but, if handled deftly and properly - and I bet my life that Fitzgerald is doing it exactly like that - it will bring forth the truth, and that, my friend, is where, perhaps, we might begin to find our salvation.

Thanks for this. It's true - it doesn't look at all good for the White House, and that just might be why Fuckface is now hellbent on taking us into Iran, as if that would be another diversion.

Pray for Fitzgerald. I'm not even a believer, but I'm throwing all the white light I can his way.
