[IP] more on Congressman Conyers calls for select committee tostudy impeachment



Frankly they don't give a damn whether we succeed in our objectives in either Afghanistan or Iraq

I may give a damn if someone would explain to me what the real objectives of our involment in Iraq?

My source of information did not come from Drudge. I don't read or use his trash.

What angers me is that Congressional antagonists (I don't call them 'critics' any more - they are far more interested in political advantage for the next election and media grandstanding than serious or responsible critique of how this war is being waged) don't have a clue, and could care less, what it takes to cope with the militant 100 year Islamic war aimed at the United States being waged by Al Quaeda and its global wanna-be's. Which is based on subversion, clandestine communications, the use of ever more deadly and miniaturized weaponry and related technologies (which I warned Secretary of Defense McNamara of 40 years ago would be the future nature of war) now including encrypted internet, fleeting telephone calls and coded messaging many of whose signals between agents in two foreign countries technically route through switches in the US. Resulting in singular acts of terrorism far more calculated to break the will of naive American people through their chosen weapon of television than the amount of real destruction.

Frankly they don't give a damn whether we succeed in our objectives in either Afghanistan or Iraq and are perfectly willing, starting with what is printed in the New York Times in blatantly revealing the details of every classified operation the US undertakes. Whether or not that directly contributes to the death of more Americans or more terrorist strikes or not, either in Iraq or New York.

As for my crack about Clinton's use of executive powers, just don't forget that the botched intelligence about Iraq and the degree to which it had, or was making, WMD, was provided a new President, Rumsfeld and Powell, after 9/11 by the incompetent CIA Director George 'slam dunk' Tennant whom Clinton selected and over whose agency he presided for 8 preceding years, while Al Quaeda grew and laid down its long range plans to destroy the infidel - the United States.

Clinton and his cabinet was utterly asleep at the foreign intelligence and terrorist threat switch, even after Al Quaeda started blowing up embassies. And even blew the opportunity to grab or kill Osama Bin Laden, who had been identified by the previous, Reagan, administration, when he was offered up on a silver plate by another country.

Gee, I wonder why the Republicans overlooked the opportunity to add counts to Clinton's impeachment hearings, since he too authorized warrentless wiretapping of Americans in the US during his 8 years.
