Please thank them for their service and exellent aim.

Panetta; “We are up 56 this month. But Nancy it is really hard to get the job done with you saying the CIA was lying.”

Nancy; “ummm, better than last month. Yea, that is unfortunate, but my mouth was on the line. But now it seems like my ass is on the line instead. I will need you to pretend to run up to the hill and act all scared and paniced, and we will leak sayin’ you fessed up.”
Pannetta; “OK. But the presidents in Russia”.
Nancy; Who cares? It’s may ass on the line and BO can get shit done if I am damaged goods!”

Panetta; “Ok, I will let him know who’s the boss.”

Since American’s fears are preventing him/her an open mind on the Pelosi’s virginity, you bet he is shooting blanks.

Respectfully, I wouldn’t assume anything about someone who would defend Pelosi BO Panetta Ried or any other. No need to , It’s there in black and white.

It was the WSJ that first reported this. Not a bastion of the Democrats.

He is. American military snipers are operating in Afghanistan right now, and they are killing terrorists from so far away that their targets don’t evem hear the shot before they die. And not just Americans. Canadians, British, Australians and a couple of other countries who prefer to remain unnamed.
No Miranda rights, no trial,just locate, sight, squeeze, gone. This is done with the direct knowledge of and authorization by President Obama (for the Anerican contingent). How do I know? I talked to a couple of them when they got back. Comments?

If anyone is interested, here are two very good articles related to this topic Bush's Hit Teams by Robert Parry and Cheney Sweats Out the Summer by Ray McGovern

Come on, Teakwood. You’re assuming American has a point here. They’re shooting blanks into the air, all in attempt to protect the Speaker of the House, who said she wasn’t “informed” about waterboading but [as you clearly state] refused to sign on to Harmon’s letter.

It’s BS, taken to an art form. And it’s the very thing the Far Left hated about the Far Right [myself included].

American and his/her cohorts are only proving the point: the public has no party to trust or represent its interests. Only mudfights between squabbling midgets.

If they are holding programs back

You assume the CIA did. That is my point. You or I do NOT have the facts. Just words from un-named sources.

for you the issue in this thread is the perceived disrespect being shown to Pelosi and your need to defend her honor when it comes to disclosure from the CIA which is accorded by law.

for me however, the point is that right now a fake story has been leaked of which the media is reporting, that the secret Panetta briefing to Congress in June is about assassination programs to hunt down, kill or capture al Qaeda leaders and operatives, that I maintain cannot be fact when this is no secret, so therefore there would be no need for Panetta to brief Congress about a program Congress already knew about three or more years ago. It means that the currently fabricated story, a lie, is being hawked for cover of the actual briefing. It is repulsive to me to be blatently lied to yet again. If you would only reread my comments without the bias of protecting Pelosi my point would be obvious.

American, you are assuming that Pelosi was NOT briefed and you unwilling to admit the possibility she was. Or worse from what I can tell she did not care at the time. Why then would she react so negatively in reaction to Harmon’s CYA letter?

Not anymore. Per Barak Obama’s new orders to troops in Afghanistan, all prisoners have to be read their Miranda Rights when brought to Bagram Airport for interrogation.

You didn’t know?

Wrong again, hot shot.

It IS the issue. Our special forces have snipers and hit squads specially trained to “take out” Al Queda leaders at a moment’s notice.

Bill Clinton began this idea, Bush/Cheney continued it after 9/ll, and you can bet your bottom dollar Barak Obama is doing the same in Afghanistan.

If he’s not, he needs to be replaced.

Oh, horseshit.

What was revealed was that Democratic Party members ran to the NYTimes to get the information to the public and the world, and to make Nancy Pelosi look better. Pure politics.

You’d THINK they’d know better.

I don’t need to read the history, American. I was there with a beating heart.

But I repeat, you want people to believe that Dems are soft on fighting terrorism, just keep running with these ridiculous stories. I don’t like Cheney anymore than you do, but until the Dems have more than a wet dream, they ought to shut up. Or look like fools and raving maniacs, the very people they claim to hate.
