[Echo In Light]

1. Puke

[madokie]

2. So pu'treyus is getting a promotion

Please tell me he isn't taking General Fallons place. :scared:

[annabanana]

3. Yes. Yes he is.

Head of Centcom.

[malaise]

6. It sure is right wing Friday

Here's Issa. :puke:

[hobbit709]

4. How'd you guess

This proves that Fallon was right. He IS an "ass-kissing little chickenshit"

[malaise]

5. Indeed

and Odierno gets to betray us from Iraq. These fuckers are planning to attack Iran. Lieberman is happy!!!

8. Our world is fixing to turn upside down when they do

Once the bombs start dropping we will have lost our Democracy cause this criminal cabal is playing for keeps. All kinds of hell is fixing to break out.

7. Corporate Media Handsprings...

According to them, this dude is Eisenhower, Washington, Grant and Patton all in one. No question about his failed strategies in Iraq...or how he's played this regime's military puppet.

Now we'll get a sham confirmation...lots of flag waiving and no specifics (including Iran)

Now there's the usual hack...Issa...daring to say what this country needs in an economy suffocated by "deregulation" is more deregulation.

[malaise]

9. He's one sick

neo con corporate loving war criminal.

[KharmaTrain]

11. Definitive Corporate Hack...

I wonder if Icky Issa is still pissed about all the money he spent for Ahnold's recall...hoping he'd be the one to get the nomination and then got screwed :rofl:

Issa isn't a neo-con as much as a corporate hack. He represents all those SoCal defense contractors and hasn't met a weapons system or pork barrel giveaway to a contractor that he doesn't love.

[malaise]

12. Phew a Dem at last on gas prices- DeFazio n/t

[KharmaTrain]

13. I Still Wished Pete Would Have Run For Senate

I give my friend in Portland crap about that all the time. Pete's great.

Notice how no one mentions opening the strategic oil reserve...flood the domestic market to drive the price down. But that wouldn't look good in this regime's portfolios.

I always laugh at the wingnut who say both that people don't understand an issue and how the solution is so "simple"...yeah, like 7 years of those "simple" solutions have worked.

[Squatch]

10. He's not being promoted...

he's just getting another job.

[Graybeard]

15. From chicken shit ass-kisser to boot licking toadie.

Yeah, that may even be a demotion.

[bdamomma]

14. really scary, and I can see Cheney is smirking from ear to ear.

I already sent off an e-mail to Biden about this change of command. I don't know if it will help but maybe more of us should speak out on this.

what kind of calls on WJ are coming through.
