    We need to understand that Wolfowitz, like Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Elliot Abrams, Scooter Libby, and a plethora of other Israeli agents posing as American citizens, are working for Israel's interests as a first priority - not America's interests.

    My question is "what does George Bush owe these people that he would be so willing to ruin his reputation and his career by placing these people in key positions in government?" Perhaps we should ask a similar question to Congress who so blindly rubber stamp any bill designed for Israel's benefit.

    Wolfowitz is just one in a long line of misappointments of pro-Israel administrators who get put in position to mind the American store enabling the hard earned profits to slip out the back door to Israel. American citizenry needs to wake up and demand to their congressmen that this has to stop.

    Wolfowitz has failed miserably in his last 2 jobs. At the State Department he was one of the architects and cheerleaders pushing the invasion of Iraq. FAILURE! He then gets booted from the World Bank for taking care of the salary and promotion of his girlfriend. FAILURE! How do they get away with having Condi Rice give him the chairmanship of the International Security Advisory Board? He gets right into the thick of it again, even though he has been a miserable FAILURE at his last two insider jobs. What the F---? I suspect it is only because he knows too much.

    QUIT WITH THESE KID GAMES OF INTELLECTUAL patty cake and get on with the proceedings to IMPEACH GEORGE W. BUSH and DICK CHENEY, thereby clearing the way to put an end to the idiocy that the FEDERA;L GOVERNMENT of the USA has become!

      Hey. Dummy. While it takes 50% plus one to impeach in the House, it takes a 2/3 majority in the Senate to remove Bush or Dick from office, and that will NEVER happen. You will never get a single Republican to vote in favor of removing them from office, therefore it CAN'T be done. THINK. THINK. LEARN.

        While I agree that conviction of Bush and Cheney would be virtually impossible if the House impeached either of them, I have come to the conclusion that they should be impeached irrespemctive of the havoc it would cause. Impeachment would send a signal to the rest of the world that a very significant portion of the United States does not countenance the evil that they do; and if Bush is under impeachment, Secretary Gates and the military might be more apt to require a Congressional resolution for war before they are willing to engage in an attack on Iran. After all, they are subject to penalty for knowingly following illegal orders.

    Experience vs. Judgment: Where have we heard that refrain recently. Wolfowitz has experience, but no judgement. I think I'll go with judgment.

    Comment: Once again the Bush-Cheney Crime, Drug and Fraud Regime brings back its fellow stooges to do its dirty work. Wolfowitz the Neocon and Zionist, dear friend to the terrorist state of Israel. All in bed together. All need to be tried and hung as soon as possible."

    I see you as someone who would support sombody like Stalin.

    911 was a fabrication of the bush admin, they lied and killed there own people to go to war, FACT a scud hit the pentagon while the plane landed in cleveland an hour later, FACT, no plane hit shanksville, as the mayor said "the only difference between this plane crash and others is there is no plane", wtc tower 7 was brought down by implosion and the other towers were wired up before the planes hit, pancake effect does not fall at free fall speed brought on by implosion. If america goes into IRAN its going to backfire like you wouldnt believe, the world needs to convert there petro dollars to euro and teach bush a lesson, when bush goes and the truth comes out then the world can move on, hand your badge in world sheriff bush, your busted you lieing bastard. your about to go bankrupt america, bush chased the oil to protect the dollar, watch what happens in the next 12 mths america, you have to send bush to the hague and ask for forgivness which you will get, the american people are great people, your government is manipulating the world, The world cant believe that the american public let bush get away with it, but he has you all tied up with his patriot act.. time to unplug the phone lines to america for 6 mths and turn our backs, shame shame shame on america for letting this regime get away with it, bush lied and babies died...bush''s human collateral damege. Any new president elect must as part of his campaign promise to reveal the full truth, Wolfowitz got the job because he is in the inside, but now for long, the truth is coming out... the axis of evil is in the white house Do something about america. oh thats right you cant cause your all cowards and to busy pruning your feathers.

    The names Wolfowitz, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Hitler, Goebbels, Stalin, Napoleon, Caesar, Botha, Mussolini and Castro have been enshrined in a very long list of very poor mannered, bad people. By the same stroke of a pen, many of their plans (and please don't get me wrong in my intention) are used as examples of brilliant maneuvers (both politically and militarily). While I will never accuse Bush of being a genius, it is quite clear that his ability to survive, control, and pervert the system around him places him high in the cabal of evil masterminds.

    • Posted By: t9900 @ 12/07/2007 4:02:16 PM

      Do you know who Stalin and Hitler is?

  • Posted By: Noob-herder @ 12/05/2007 9:52:31 PM


    Why are we allowing this kind of garbage from these scum? I have to agree with ThirstyJon (obviously a NC) ... yes, Wolfowitz must be brilliant, and he does a brilliant job... he's got all you poor uneducated corn-fed country-raised conservatives thinking that he's on your team, and he's definitely doing well holding on to the rectum of this country like peanutbutter toothpaste. Hell, the republicans controlling the war - or the white house - have got ALL the rest of the Conservative right thinking "our team is winning!"... meanwhile, they'd sell your hides to make an extra buck as well. Poor deluded fools. Bush doesn't care about anything or anyone outside of his circle of speed dial numbers.. and keeping you under his spin job for a little bit longer to continue the windfall.

    I can't complain, I made a killing investing in military suppliers, food and housing contractors, companies that specialize in war... WAAAAY back in 2000 when the election was rigged by Bush and family. You can make a fortune swinging your stock portfolio from consumer goods during Democrap years to war machine investments during Republitard administrations. Oh well, the ADHD Americans have suddenly remembered that their bank accounts were plush the last time a Dem was in office, so they're gonna swing the pendulum the other way this coming year. Poor chance in hell of a republican (aside from {a very GOOD man} Ron Paul and his snowball) winning the 08 Oval Office.

      Due just grow up or shut up. You look like the biggest retard. I'd rather have Bush run the country as a dictator then you continue speuling out illogical hate and stereotypes. Are you that unbelievably blind?You sound exactly like you accuse Republicans of being. You are either brainwashed or have been dropped on your head at least 100 times. Go read several unbiased books on US history, US politics, and the US government. And then reread your comments to see how unbelievable you sound.

    Fine, Saddam was a bad bad man, but so was Castro, and so is Kim Jong il. Those countries didn't spit in W's daddy's eye and they don't control vast oil reserves and we can't justify a prolonged war with them with which to fund the military industrial complex (Halliburton anyone?)... face it, the scam that got Bushie into office and the totalitarian regime that has been blanketed over the populace since then has all been a GET RICH SCHEME for a few dozen key businessmen and political players in this country. Your kids are dying for their portfolios.

    And don't get me started on the immorality of the regime... the Republicans have no moral ground to spit on - not with senators having solicited gay sex in airport bathrooms and yet others molesting their pages. My god, is there nobody who can hold all of these concepts in their mind at the same time and provide some kind of comparison between good presidents like Clinton and Truman and evil turds like Bush and Nixon? Hello? Anyone in the US read ANY history at all?

    • Posted By: t9900 @ 12/07/2007 3:52:07 PM

      Actually compared to you even Bush as more morals. The only thing that comes from people like you is hate and hypocrisy.

      BTW, Nixon was a great President. He just caught. To say no 'good' liberal president ever cheated means you are the uneducated American non-Americans always talk about.

  • Posted By: Noob-herder @ 12/05/2007 9:51:28 PM


    Where oh where have the good people gone? Why has nobody supported the calls for impeachment of ALL the scum in the white house? How can a nation with so many intelligent people allow these glaringly bad things to happen? Why does feedcap America think that the republican party represents them? Because they support farm bills that pay farmers to NOT grow crops or because they hate killing unborn babies (statistically from poorer backgrounds - who suspiciously turn to military service as a means of education when they reach the ripe age of 18). I wasn't aware of any military weapons manufacturers in those corn fields.

    It is time to get the political elitists out of the White House... all of these millionaires and born/bred politicians are part of the problem... it is in their best financial interests to keep the American populace poor and uneducated. Implement 1 or 2 term limits for Congressmen so they can vote their conscience. Reduce all elected office salaries to reflect the average salary of the people by whom they were elected. Require candidates to be publicly funded so that they don't have to cup corporate balls when they are elected. Require clarity in financial reporting from all local, state and federal governments. There is far too much back-scratching and millionaires being made in the DC area. If our founding fathers were alive, they would start another revolution to fight against the politicians who had the gonads to spend ONE TRILLION DOLLARS on a war that should never have happened instead of developing clean renewable energy (solar anyone) or writing everyone ON PLANET EARTH A CHECK FOR $149 ( I could have bought a Wii).

    Best of luck to all of us on this Wolfowitz thing (it takes an act of congress to stop W from giving his cronies jobs) and maybe you should ALL vote this time instead of fondling off to reruns of the Victoria's Secret runway show... good though that may be... the un-intelligent of this country need to be stopped from electing yet another bible-thumping cowboy moron hanging from strings.

  • Posted By: Noob-herder @ 12/05/2007 9:50:57 PM


    I think it's an understatement to say that Hitler and Goebbels were evil men, but the planning and execution of Kristallnacht and the rise of the SS were pure moments of sheer PR brilliance. How exciting it must be to create a false enemy, stir up your constituents, give them an enemy to kill (real or imagined) and then drag your country into a bloody War which richens the coffers of the elite Aristocracy. Oh wait...... was I talking about Bush... or Hitler... or Rumsfeld... or Caesar... or Cheney... or Attila... or Wolfowitz... it's all blending into one concept. Oh well, back to the rant.

    If Paul Wolfowitz get appointed to the International Security Advisory Board, will we need to provide a job for his concubine as well? How ironic that an Administration who got elected because they wanted to protect marriage from homosexuals and who attempted to impeach Bill Clinton for marital infidelity is now providing a sinecure for a man who openly flaunts the conventions of marriage. Long live Republican morality!!!

    What are Wolfowitz???s credentials as a security advisor. After 9-11, instead of going after bin-Laden, we invaded Iraq. That???s about as stupid as invading Brazil after Pearl Harbor. While I???m glad there???s a lull in the bloodshed in Iraq, violence still continues. The horrible toll of humans killed and maimed, both Iraqi and American, for a barrel of oil proves that the barbaric rituals of human sacrifice are alive and well. While we???re bogged down in Iraq, Al Qaeda is regrouping in Afghanistan. According to a recent article in Spiegel Magazine, Al Qaeda is also establishing a bridgehead in Bosnia. If you were to read recent reports in the Los Angeles Times, Al Qaeda is attracting followers from countries like Tunisia primarily because of our occupation of Iraq. The longer we occupy Iraq, the more attractive Al Qaeda becomes. I might add that as long as the global economy dictates that young men in Islamic countries remain condemned to a lifetime of poverty and/or unemployment, Al Qaeda will continue to have a breeding ground for recruits. Does Wolfowitz even understand this? In the mean time, 6 years after 9-11, we still haven???t captured bin-Laden, and at the bidding of the American Enterprise Institute, we???re plotting a war with Iran.

    I remember in 2003 when Newsweek itself was lionizing Wolfowitz who envisioned America as the new Roman Empire. What neither Wolfowitz nor Newsweek understands is that the Roman Empire fell, actually partially for environmental reasons. Romans used lead pipes for plumbing and many skeletons from the Roman era had large concentrations of lead in their bones. Isn???t that a hint about global warming? And do we feel safer now?

    Wolfowitz? Sure, why not? While we're at it why don't we clone Hitler and Stalin and appoint them to the Suporeme Court???

  • Posted By: tdg495 @ 12/04/2007 2:15:16 AM

    disgust is the only word to describe Bush and his "axis of evil" I am not suprised at Wolfowitz he never actually left the cabal, only pro temp de rigour, he still has the power to influence the evil administration's continuing and concerted efforts to trapple on the Constitution and exploit the White House as a huge feeding trough for scary, mostly evil political cromies.......and the Dems are totally scattered and diffuse as a political opponent to this nightmarish cabal, bad times ahead, Babylonian potential, not the USA my grandfather elected to emigrate to. Hard to find any sense of pride now when I travel and state I am American.

    Contacting our ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES is a waste of time and energy! They no longer depend on their 'CONSTITUENTS' to be reelected, but on the power of money provided by their corporate masters.

    I believe that the 'core' of the American people still have a strong sense of honor (when it is the other persons honor that is called into question) and can be motivated to demand action if approached from this angle!

    Our elected representatives have taken an oath to protect and uphold the constitution. If they have reason to believe that impeachable acts have taken place, they have a duty and obligation to investigate these charges. This has nothing to do with any political party or personality; it is a requirement of their office! To abandon this obligation is to condone treason or other high crimes etc. and therefore become a party to crimes. Why should any one of us vote for anyone that is too crooked or to cowardly to honor their 'oath of office'?

    Demanding that our ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES uphold the Constitution and follow the laws of this country is good citizenship. To do less is dishonoring those that have fought for and died to establish a country that we have inherited. We have given up so many of our 'rights' that we are now living in a country that has instituted 'martial law', the yellow media and our government doesn???t have the backbone to admit this!!

    Blindly following and backing a government that has lied and deceived it's people and allies, is not being a 'patriot'. Questioning and demanding truth and an adherence to this countries laws, and demanding that it 'honor' its treaties with the rest of this world is!!
    As Henry Kissinger said, (and I believe history will show that he was a war criminal.) "The only thing worse than being an enemy of the United States is to be its friend"!!

    We hung 'war criminals' just after WW11 for committing the same crimes that this administration has committed, IN OUR NAMES, and now claims to be legal.
