I think the reason Obama is stopping the "wiretap" investigations is
that there are valid national security issues at stake.
We stand around and bitch that Bush should have stopped Atta and the
boys and then criticize the way he could have stopped them.
NSA has always "wiretapped" and they always will. That is their job.
If they are not busting you for your affair with the girl in the
office or that bag of grass you arranged to pick up at the Tastee
Freeze, why do you care?
The reality is they were only looking at international calls to
countries with terrorist ties anyway, if you can believe the official
line. I have seen the bug Clinton put in every telephone office (at
least while it was in the box) and I bet they hear more than that if
they want. It is capable of sniffing every packet that goes in or
out..


No, no. He's doing it because he's a liberal, hates his country and
doesn't want anything good. Just wait and see. The conservatives here
will go there!

Nope, wrong again, we love it.. Just wish Pelosi and Reid had spent more
time with jobs and the economy back at the end of the Bush admin,
instead of 245+ investigations trying to put folks like Scooter Libby in
jail and criminalizing politics as usual in Texas...

Actually, they were listening to far more conversations and many of them
were inside the US. It's pretty well documented. I think Obama made a
mistake by stopping the investigations.


Probably a matter of priority. If they stopped all investigations in
favor of focusing on putting Cheney away, that'd work for me.

Considering what just happened in Afghanistan in regard to the election
re-run, I'm hoping Obama resists the pressure to send in 40,000 more
troops, or any number resembling 40,000. Afghanistan is not a nation, it
is a collection of territories run by warlords, with a central
government run by a crook. Pakistan is also a failed nation. The
geography in that part of the world is pretty impossible.

It's too bad Dubya blew our wad in Iraq. Had our military concentrated
on Afghanistan and the Taliban and al Qaeda these past eight years, we
might be in a much better position now.

What we have is the mess an idiot like Bush leaves behind for others to
clean up.

I don't know what the best course is. I think we should concentrate more on
drones and special operations, but I'm not an expert. Obama is listening to
lots of folks and I'm willing to give him the benefit of my doubt about the
best decision... at least for now.

I think the reason Obama is stopping the "wiretap" investigations is
that there are valid national security issues at stake.
We stand around and bitch that Bush should have stopped Atta and the
boys and then criticize the way he could have stopped them.
NSA has always "wiretapped" and they always will. That is their job.
If they are not busting you for your affair with the girl in the
office or that bag of grass you arranged to pick up at the Tastee
Freeze, why do you care?
The reality is they were only looking at international calls to
countries with terrorist ties anyway, if you can believe the official
line. I have seen the bug Clinton put in every telephone office (at
least while it was in the box) and I bet they hear more than that if
they want. It is capable of sniffing every packet that goes in or
out..

Actually, they were listening to far more conversations and many of them
were inside the US. It's pretty well documented. I think Obama made a
mistake by stopping the investigations.


Probably a matter of priority. If they stopped all investigations in
favor of focusing on putting Cheney away, that'd work for me.

You have misplaced priorities.

Cheney will only irritate you, terrorist will kill you.


Cheney has already irritated me and I want him to pay. It's not one
or the other. I want terrorists pursued and Cheney in prison.

All other investigations into corrupt Republican assholes can wait for
history.

BTW, according to Congresswoman Virginia Foxx, the health care plan is
more dangerous to the state of our country than any terrorist.

She's from your side of the aisle.

How's he supposed to do that? Snap his fingers? It takes a while. We're
certainly drawing down in Iraq. A decision is pending in Afg.



Considering what just happened in Afghanistan in regard to the election
re-run, I'm hoping Obama resists the pressure to send in 40,000 more
troops, or any number resembling 40,000. Afghanistan is not a nation, it
is a collection of territories run by warlords, with a central government
run by a crook. Pakistan is also a failed nation. The geography in that
part of the world is pretty impossible.

It's too bad Dubya blew our wad in Iraq. Had our military concentrated on
Afghanistan and the Taliban and al Qaeda these past eight years, we might
be in a much better position now.

What we have is the mess an idiot like Bush leaves behind for others to
clean up.



I don't know what the best course is. I think we should concentrate more on
drones and special operations, but I'm not an expert. Obama is listening to
lots of folks and I'm willing to give him the benefit of my doubt about the
best decision... at least for now.


He seems a lot smarter than those two fellows who just left. The bald
one needs to go to jail, maybe bunk with Scooter for a white.

Not so true. We would just have more body bags.


We had an early opportunity in Afg. We had world-wide support, and Bush
squandered it. It would have made a difference.

The SU had no such support, and we were actively working against them.


Wasn't anyone paying attention to what happened to the Soviets? They
spared no expense and gave no quarter, using the most ruthless
tactics, and still got their ass kicked.
All "Joe Wilson's war" did was make it a little more costly for them
and challenged their air superiority but they still never really held
much ground, even before we gave Bin Laden the stingers.
At the time, it was their Vietnam. Now it is ours.
Air power will not will a guerilla war.


Wilson's war made it much more costly for them.

It's nothing like VN. Iraq is more like that, but even that is a flawed
analogy.

You can demonize Bush all you want, I won't stop you but you have to
know the enabling legislation was passed while we were all wondering
about blue dresses, cigars and little white lies. Now that you brought
it up, some of the other legislation that set the stage for this
looting happened while we were worried about what Oliver North was up
to.

There is nothing like a good scandal to divert our attention from what
is really important and to stop any real business going on that
benefits the country.

If Obama gets bogged down in some Cheney investigation, that will be
the only thing he will be doing.



Certainly true... I don't think Obama will get bogged down if the AG decides
to proceed. We need to hold everyone accountable for their acts.

Jesus Loogie. This is getting pretty bad. Almost everything you have
said today has been proven absolutely wrong, time to take off the
partisan blinders and admit it... Nothing wrong with learning you are
wrong, the problem comes when you are afraid to admit and accept it, and
move on...



Uh, if you were to read the article posted, there was NO BUGGING. It was
a friggin' CONFERENCE call. Yes, it IS getting bad.
