And as I said, the Taliban is unable to defeat the government. Maybe we have a stalemate, but that's good enough for the short term. The Pakistanis have to suck it up and invade their tribal territories and clear out Taliban and Al Qaeda. That is the only workable long term solution. wait wait wait now -- weren't you defending the Plame leak tactic a while > back? The White House didn't out Plame, remember? That was accomplished by the biggest gossip in DC, Dick Armitage. Wilson lied about what he reported to the CIA. Had he just kept his pie-hole closed, or at least told the truth about what he reported, none of that would have happened. I didn't like the use of reporters to spread the story, though. That was a Cheney move. > > Silly me. There I thought they worked for the American people. Didn't > we just go through this at DOJ? What, leaked classified documents in time of war? I think not. Some arrogant fools at the CIA have been leaking classified documents to the media for years, solely to settle political scores because they don't agree with what the Administration is doing. That should never happen under any administration. They can report anything they need to report to Congress. But they don't want to do the right thing, they want to strong-arm the President. They deserve jail time. > > Considering all > the possibilities of the Patriot Act, we are going to have the War on > Terror a mighty long time. Yes, we are going to have the War on Terror a long time. Al Qaeda still wants to destroy the U.S. Iran still wants to destroy the U.S. The Taliban, as you pointed out earlier, are still in Afghanistan/Pakistan. Those are real enemies with real guns who want to do us real harm. > > Campaign against Hilary if you like but let's please just deal with > what is happening right nwo without defensiveness or partisanship. > "Well --- my guy suspended civil liberties, but the *ther* guy got a > blowjob." Come on. > We are dealing with what is happening now because the Clinton Administration failed to act on numerous occasions when they could have captured or killed Bin Laden, but the Clinton Administration saw the whole thing in terms of criminal acts, not acts of war, and their responses over the years reflected that outlook. We don't need more of that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.
