Hey yo! WadeUSAF, Habu RE the hanging thread:

Like clockwork, after having to show the deficit and healthcare cards, the Administration plays their Ace to take the hand… the “investigation” of the CIA is formally announced.

Sweet mother of mercy, reminds me of me own self, champing for Bush to follow up on the hundreds of guilty pleas, record fines and fleeing felons when Clinton sold our classified satellite technology and got caught doing it, along with his greatest fan Bernie Schwarz at Loral.
In 2002, Loral Space reached a settlement with the State Department over charges of passing advanced military technology to the Chinese Army. Loral agreed to pay $20 million in fines, but did not admit nor deny wrongdoing.

Bush didn’t do this type of “investigation” in face of large, active investigations. Bush did look to the future, Bush shut those investigations down. Bush didn’t go on the attack on the basis of “China-gate” – this unprecedented, obvious penetration and failure of our intel ‘inner wall’ at the hands of one easily ID’ed enemy… who just happened to establish Lippo Group in Little Rock, Arkansas. I’m not a conspiracy guy, I am just reporting facts.

In the face of all the economic and foreign threats America is currently entangled, why are we criminally prosecuting the guys who helped win the war over the last decade?

There’s only one obvious answer, and it’s not a forward-looking one.

To inflame the masses with Bush-hatred – the solution to all problems?
