Have you noticed the difference since Gates and Negroponte joined the team?

Edited on Mon Jan-08-07 10:25 AM by kentuck

These are two of Poppy's favorite players. The Generals in the Iraq War have been relieved of their duties if they do not agree with Bush's escalation of the war. It is not a "surge"- it is an escalation.

Gates and Negroponte worked together against Sandinista "insurgency" in Nicaragua and assisted death squads in El Salvador thru Honduras and Panama. They are "insurgency" experts. They are the ones that Bush is now listening to - not Condi or anyone else.

1. Apparently though Negraponte got kicked to the curb cuz he didn't like chimps snooping.

So...even the bullshit is too high for Negroponte to stand.

3. I think he has moved in to save Dubya's butt...

at the request of Poppy. If he was "kicked to the curb", why would he be brought inside the circle??

5. Agreed. Negroponte can enjoy closer ties to groups who

can "get things done" when he's in The State Department instead of overseeing all of the intelligence assets. Oh, he's gonna be a busy boy that needs to be monitored closely. :(

6. Yes...he needs to be called before every investigation hearing...

He will know a lot and say a little.

4. Negroponte is a killer. He would kill you or me if it helped him some way

Negroponte is not a good guy who wouldn't go along with Bush.

Take my word on this one.

2. The Iran-Contra crowd resurfaces.

Our Democratic Congress needs to investigate the hell out of all of them. :grr:

7. It's the Iran/Contras in some kind of power struggle with the neo-cons

but it's still all BFEE. There were just a couple of fall guys-they're all back.
