Check out the following take, which makes mucho sense.

We are witnessing an unprecedented civil war between the various divisions of the Federal Government. Leaks, of course, are part of the natural order of bureaucratic life in an era of 24/7 news -- but this goes far beyond the usual backbiting and catfighting among prickly egos in high places.

These guys are trying to destroy each other, with no fear whatsoever that the President will take action against anybody for creating dissension within the Administration. The rest of the world already dismisses Shrub as a mentally challenged freak in thrall to ideologues sponsored by war profiteers. But with this open breach between the CIA and the Pentagon focusing attention directly at our pathetic performance in the area of intelligence, our standing in the world is hitting rock bottom.

This is the most preposterous case of Presidential incompetence and irresponsibility in history. Fans and relatives of the late Warren G. Harding should be flipping handsprings now that George Walker Bush has supplanted him at the bottom of the list of American presidents.

After this fiasco, what country on earth would trust us with sensitive information? With open warfare breaking out within his own Administration, what country on earth would trust us to lead any international joint venture?

I assume that any similarity between the stories that these swine are telling off on each other and the truth is purely coincidental. The real story is not how true of any of this shit is. The real story is the chaos at the highest level of our national security apparatus.

These are the guys who are supposed to be so good at protecting us from another 9/11. Hell, they can't even protect themselves from each other.

Better buy some duct tape, friends.

If any of these lying jackals really believed we were at war, real war with the future of our country in mortal jeopardy as in World War II, none of this chickenshit political gamesmanship would be reaching the newspapers. The word "war" was a political gimmick from the start, and these guys are ALL slick manipulators who care only about fucking with each other and furthering their own careers.

Astride this collossus of folly is the biggest fool of all, George Walker Bush, the guy who has yet to break a sweat once in his entire lazy privileged slacker smartass life.

The arc of his disaster I think has passed its zenith, and this developing Insider scandal -- or one just like it -- will finally close the book on this piece of crap who should never have become the GOP nominee in the first place, let alone strut into the White House on the authority of winning a law suit.
