1. Sounds like the drumbeat for Syria and the distraction for

keeping eyes off the Fitzgerald investigation.

Olaf

[mirandapriestly]

14. exactly, and who really was behind the assasination? nt

[shraby]

2. Fitzgerald better hurry up.

[ewagner]

16. I wonder what Fitz is thinking

about this?

Because Fitzgerald has seen the inner workings of the Bush* administration for over two years now, he has to know that the current sabre-rattling by Bolton and Bush* is a manufactured diversion from the Administration's myriad of problems. I think Fitz knows deep in his soul that the Bushies manipulate the media at every chance they get and that they will stop at absolutely NOTHING.

If Fitz knows about this I'm sure it's weighing on his mind.

[peekaloo]

3. hot for military action.

He's being a leader! People won't abandon their leader on matters of war.

:sarcasm:

One note Georgie.

[ET Awful]

4. Sorry Bushie, I don't think the UN believes you anymore.

See, there's this story of the little boy who cried wolf that most of the planet has heard of and learned from.

You blew the credibility of anything being presented to the UN by your administration long ago.

There was a time, not too many decades ago, when other nations literally told the leaders of the US that they didn't need to see the evidence, that the word of the US was good enough, somehow I doubt that's the case today.

[MadisonProgressive]

5. Bolton is charging!

Earlier Friday, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, said that it was "very dramatic news about the extent of Syrian involvement" in the Mehlis report.

"I don't think there is any doubt that this going to require a strong follow up from the Security Council," he added.

[oregonindy]

6. can we charge the bastille yet and get rid of this buffoon?

[ourbluenation]

26. damn it - now you owe me a keyboard..."charge the bastille"...

thanks for the friday funny!

[hatrack]

29. Sadly, most Americans probably think that "charging the Bastille" . . .

Means putting some expensive imported cheese on your credit card.

[Nordmadr]

7. Seems our border incursions into Syria are not sufficient. N/T

[ewagner]

8. Pretty brazen move eh?

Go "catapult the propaganda" at the UN....

ignore that Syria was sharing intelligence with us on WMDs.

create another crisis

launch air strikes

Indictments? In a time of war? How un-patriotic of Fitzgerald.:sarcasm:

I hope somebody stops this sob before more killing starts.

[Loge23]

9. Bush: Forget a miracle, I need a new war!

If this doesn't get Americans to storm the gates, nothing will. What unbelievable nonsense.

[Beetwasher]

10. The Report Was Written On Letterhead From NIGER

I'm sure with documents obtained from Ahmed Chalabi.

[Sanity Claws]

11. Here's a link

Updated NY Times website:

[Verve]

15. Surprise, surprise! The New York Times is at it again... n/t

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. notice the difference. This pres trashed the UN before, now he is asking

for its help.

somehow, I find that - I am at a loss for words.

[Verve]

13. How coincidental? Condi has been pushing Syria all week and NOW

Syria's implicated in an assassination? Give me a Break!

[malaise]

17. Dangerous lunatics

are in charge of this planet. Help, help, help!!

[JohnnyRingo]

18. That old "unilateral" crap wont fly anymore....

He has to convince the UN of taking action. (led by our "commander in chief" of course)

I think he has his work cut out for him, but it does serve the purpose of distraction and could rally his base of warmongers.

[bluestateguy]

19. This is not our problem

That's a real shame that Syria supposedly was involved in this assassination, but it's not our problem.

We need to learn not to stick our nose in everybody else's business.

Not our problem.

[Verve]

21. Sadly, I didn't even think of the possibility it might be true.

Bush has cried wolf so many times, I just thought it was just another fake Niger document.

[joanski0]

20. Are we really going to have to take matters

into our own hands and storm the White House with torches and pitchforks. By the way, I have a rusty old pitchfork. No torches though.

[imouttahere]

22. Make sure it's good and rusty....

adds to the fun when storming something/somebody

[madrchsod]

23. i wonder what army he`s going to use?

there`s nothing left of ours....oh,the syrains just might fight back.

[0007]

24. Yikes! Bolton's fingerprints are on this.....

ACK!!

[bullimiami]

25. 'bush is gonna wag it , wag it....f

wag it like a dog,
wag it like a dog."

[adolfo]

27. Clueless

Used car salesmen have better reputations than georgie. Why should anyone trust him now?

Sad but true.

[Lorax]

28. Huh?

Forgive my ignorance, but even if this IS true, how is this our responsibility? What am I missing?

[adolfo]

30. Missed a lot

After all the lies and bullsh* georgie has placed the US through, there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of anything he presents. (If you don’t know about his history then I suggest you stick around DU for a while)

One cannot avoid the suspicions of another hidden political agenda. My main questions are who created the report, what are the sources, and what does it contain?

[Lorax]

31. No, no, no

I GET that part. I don't understand why it is our responsibility to police Syria. Lame attempt at sarcasm.
