Sarah Palin to resign as governor...
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin shocked the political word Friday by announcing that she will step down at the end of the month and transfer power to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell. Palin made the announcement from her home in Wasilla, flanked by her husband, Todd, and family and state commissioners. The announcement came on the same week that one of her top public health officials says she was forced out of office because Palin felt she wasn't in step on social issues. Palin's decision now allows her to avoid the difficult task of running for president while serving as governor. Todd Palin told FOX News that his wife will concentrate on "doing the things for Alaska and the country" that she is passionate about and can not do as governor with the limitation and constant opposition she deals with within the state. Palin, who defeated incumbent Gov. Murkowski in a primary in 2006,.gained national prominence when GOP presidential candidate John McCain picked her as his running mate last year. But her approval ratings in the state have skidded in recent months. Palin has been dogged in recent months by ethics inquiries. Her office last month announced the 15th dismissal of an ethics complaint against her or one of her staff. - - - snerk Is this a late April Fool's Day joke? |

Another report: After Sarah Palin's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week she has announced she will be stepping down in a few weeks. In a press conference call this morning, Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin has announced she will not run for re-election and is stepping down as governor. She had a brief statement. She took no questions. Her commissioners and Lt. Governor were with her at her home. Palin did not relinquish the reigns of the state to the Lt. Governor while running for vice president. Lt. Governor Sean Parnell will step in as governor at the end of the month. He was defeated by Congressman Don Young in the Republican primary last year. Rumors of an "iceberg scandal" have been circulating. Resignation is certainly out of character for Sarah Palin. Senator Mark Begich had a meeting with Sarah Palin two days ago with no mention of her leaving office. Palin's press secretary, David Murrow had posted on his Facebook page Wednesday, "David Murrow is considering life's ironies." He was hired less than a month ago. Yesterday he wrote, "There's gonna be some fireworks this weekend!" Palin's father, Chuck Heath, told Fox News that he thought her resignation was due to the negativity from the media. According to Heath, the governor was unable to be effective while she was constantly having to defend herself against ethics complaints and the media. |

No wonder you Republicans are continuing your journey down the drain. I never thought Palin was hot. With her $10,000 a week makeup artist, she managed to coverup her bad skin and look OK. Without that professional help, she looks like an ordinary middle-aged woman who has had five children and has porous skin. |

Did you happen to read the summary of the FBI report that was just made public. This is very recent. Obama's FBI. Didn't make major headlines, of course. It reports the results of a major post mortem of the Iraq issue, from beginning to end. It focuses on Saddam's activities, his state of understanding, his realization that Baghdad was lost and his hiding until captured. It also recounts the pre-war mindset of Saddam and the various intelligence agencies (ours and other nations) information and beliefs at the time. Simplified, the story was this: Saddam promoted the perception that he indeed was in possession of weapons of mass destruction. He was not concerned about the UN or the USA. He didn't believe Bush would pull the trigger and invade. His concern was Iran. He wanted to keep them at bay by perpetuating the rumors and stories of his WMD stockpiles. So, Saddam said he had WMDs. The CIA believed he had WMDs. The FBI believed he had WMDs. Intelligence agencies of other countries believed he had WMDs. Clinton believed he had WMDs. Kerry believed he had WMDs. In fact, most of Congress believed he had WMDs and are on record as saying so. Why not? Saddam said he had WMDs. But when Bush said Saddam had WMDs, he lied. Eisboch |

He didn't believe Bush would pull the trigger and invade. His concern was Iran. He wanted to keep them at bay by perpetuating the rumors and stories of his WMD stockpiles. So, Saddam said he had WMDs. The CIA believed he had WMDs. The FBI believed he had WMDs. Intelligence agencies of other countries believed he had WMDs. Clinton believed he had WMDs. Kerry believed he had WMDs. In fact, most of Congress believed he had WMDs and are on record as saying so. Why not? Saddam said he had WMDs. But when Bush said Saddam had WMDs, he lied. Eisboch Congratulations Richard. Most on the left had this figured out six years ago. Everyone believed Saddam had weapons but there were a ton of folks who were arguing to let the inspectors do their job and had a pretty good idea Saddam was bluffing. This **** really started to stink when Bush went into full-rush mode. You probably didn't notice with all that flag waving and rah rah you were doing. To what end? We're ****ed for 3 trillion, everyone hates us and we've done nothing to rebuild education, infrastructure or ensure job retention in our country. Osama bin Laden just had to tip the first domino and our leadership took over from there. Good thing it only took you six years to discover the truth. Congratulations again. |

Hehehe...your fondest hope...but unlikely. The emporor didn't have clothes in 2003 and that didn't stop Americans from hiring the ****in' idiot again. The alternative was far worse, and you know it. You think Obama can screw it up as badly as Bush did? He already has. He's joined up with the people that did most of the screwing up... congress and senate. |

It is important to note that whatever Clinton believed, he was smart enough to not invade Iraq. Bush had a hard-on for Saddam before he even presumed his office. He was looking for excuses, no matter how tenuous, to invade Iraq and get Saddam. So he, Cheney and Rumsfeld initiated a war of convenience, and this country and Iraq paid and are paying the price for his hotheadedness. |

You don't recall about 6 months of UN hearings and calling for Saddam to come clean? Being a news junkie of sorts here's part of what I remember. I've seen it is often forgotten, or maybe not even noticed. The Congressional vote to give GWB war powers was touted as a cudgel to get the UN to pass a further resolution. That worked. As the U.S. military built up and the engine was warming up, I saw a live CNN report from Iraq where Hans Blitz, the chief UN arms inspector, was asked some questions. This was about 2 weeks out from the invasion. It only lasted a couple minutes. He said he could go anywhere now with his choppers, even Saddams presidential palaces, to look for WMD. He was asked why he wasn't inspecting the sites that Colin Powell had marked at the UN on big maps. He said, "Because General Powell won't give me the locations." He was very frustrated. A few months into the war our guys examined a location that Powell has pointed his pointer at and told the UN, "This is a WMD production and transportation point." Now a news crew was showing that site. It was a field that contained a bunch of abandoned old semi-trailers, rusty and with flat tires. So much for me ever believing a word Colin Powell ever spoke again. The biggests element of us going into Iraq was the closeness of 9/11 and trust in GWB to do the right thing. The leaders, both political and in the press, fell down in their duty to raise questions. Too many people not thinking. I was against going in until Blitz had his chance, but I happened to see that interview with him. If that had been more widely broadcast, the story may have been different. --Vic |

"HK" wrote in message m... You don't recall a U.S. president named George W. Bush who was eager to start a war of convenience? Nope. I remember a U.S. president named George W. Bush who patiently utilized the UN for over 6 months to call upon Saddam to come clean on his WMD's, to allow the weapons inspectors back into Iraq as agreed to and stipulated at the conclusion of the first Gulf War, to stop firing at UN endorsed no fly zone patrols, all while the CIA, FBI, and other national's intelligence agencies reported the existence of WMDs and Saddam not protesting much. Only after none were found and election time was on the horizon did the "He lied to us" BS start. If he lied to us, he also lied to and convinced people like Colon Powell, who I don't think lowers his integrity to support a "lying" president. Eisboch |

People forget that at one time he was expressing the loudest complaints of Saddam's restrictions imposed on his inspection teams. In fact, shortly before the war started, he threw in the towel and announced they could not do their job. I don't recall the finger of blame being pointed at Powell. I recall it being pointed at Saddam. When the "Bush lied to us" routine started, that's when Blitz suddenly joined the bandwagon. Eisboch |
