negraponte is resigning to take the number two position at the state department

[madokie]

leslie just said that in the shit room

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

1. wonder what kind of shit storm

he will be involved in now?

this is not a promotion.

[madokie]

8. if its not a promotion then there is something sinister to lure him away

he's a spook from the word go.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

13. Or does this get Negroponte into

the National Command Authority loop?

which he may have been out of in his Intel post.

I am too lazy to look up the laws right now.

But, you are right, dude, this guy is spook central.

[whistle]

2. Two to one says Bush will give Negroponte's position to John Bolton

[BuyingThyme]

7. Holy poo.

[whistle]

17. I was wrong, they plan to snuff out intelligence altogether

[madokie]

18. Sure they do

as it is now intelligence can work both ways, can't be having that now though can they. I'm saying these folks are on a mission and it does not include us in any good way, trust me.

[BuyingThyme]

3. I don't get it.

Can there be a more inappropriate head of intelligence?

I guess we'll soon find out.

[madokie]

4. what is this bush* team up to now, gonna start torturing our foreign diplomats now wtf

[Virginia Dare]

5. No way he's taking orders from Condi...

something is definitely up.

[Ian David]

6. Maybe he's going to lead a coup? That's his specialty, after all. n/t

[saigon68]

16. NO NO ------- RAPING Nuns is his specialty

John Negroponte= "Nun Rapist"

[tanyev]

9. He can keep rearranging the deck chairs, but it ain't gonna keep the Titanic from going down.

[datadiva]

10. I am getting a really apprehensive feeling

about the manuvering going on. The delay with his plans for Irag, the movements of the Navy, positioning key people. Ready to invade Iran? King George has decided already what his actions will be. I don't know if there is a way to stop him. He has chopped up the constitution to suit himself. I don't know about anyone else but I am really nervous. I've tried to be happy about our election results but I can't shake off this awful feeling. :scared:

[madokie]

12. I'm right with you on this. the little tyrant is just getting started I'm afraid

now I got the willies

[lyonn]

14. How about bush positioning Condi for cheney's spot?

Then Negroponte slips into hers. But, Condi may be as involved as much as cheney in the march to war. Cause if bush should get pressured out of office due to ramping up the war and his mental condition, they can't allow, no way, for Nancy to even get close to the presidency. This theory is goofy, but all options are open!?

Course your option is much more scary and quite likely closer, ugh

[madokie]

15. any options with negraponte involved is scary

there's definitely something going on and I will bet we won't like it

[Sanity Claws]

11. Hmmm - does this mean that someone is trying to oust Condi?

Wonder whether she had to approve it or whether this move is more machinations by Darth Cheney.
