1. Homeland Security?
If you're going to dream, the "monstrosity" must go altogether, with which I'm sure Scott Ritter will agree. He should be running the Pentagon. (I won't start on Clark this thread since that would attract 38 of his reflexive fans.)

And what's Edwards' track record on evildoers compared to Eliot Spitzer? He's the AG.

Michael Moore? I can see him on some educational advisory committe, but - running the schools?

Anyway, cute. Who is John Kerrie?

3. uh-huh
My goal is to have Goff, Clark and Ritter work as a team. I left specific instructions with Mr. Baldwin.

Moore sat on the Flint school board, didn't he? He also did a great job educating the country on current affairs.

Edwards has legal qualifications and I can't help but like the guy. Since he needs a job...

John Kerrie is Nebraska's John Kerrie, lately best known from the 9/11 commission.

4. BOB Kerrey?
The former NE senator is Bob Kerrey, whose role in a possible Vietnam era massacre of about 30 people was exposed in 2003. (It's unclear what happened, he says his unit fired in the dark and later found 30 dead civilians.)

Apparently you didn't follow the 9/11 Commission because the whole thing was a scam.

Kerrey was brought in as a ringer to pretend to be a tough guy after the real tough man, Cleland, departed. Cleland had called the Commission a whitewash and said Bush is scamming America.

Read all about it in
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE KEAN COMMISSION
http://justicefor911.org/Appendix6_KeanCommission_111904.php

I attended the final Commission hearings in DC. Kerrey distinguished himself by practically apologizing to the NORAD guys and telling them how well they'd done, and then screaming in the last panel at the FAA guys who were being blamed for everything.

Bob Kerrey is also death on the unions at the New School.

If you want to reward anyone from the cover-up commission then obviously you've missed what's up with 9/11 - worst deception ever.

We need an American Truth Commission. I think that should be headed by--- um... any candidates?
