9. You stole my line!

"Bye now and don't forget your monkey!"

[sangh0]

30. If true?? Heck with that! I'm running with it

Just kidding

[Catt03]

2. Not what I read

Rice will become Sec of State. Rumsfield may leave but probably won't, Ashcroft will never leave. Ridge already said he was leaving as did Powell.

Do you have a link?

18. Thank you for the welcome.....

It is a big site so it is going to take me awhile to adjust and figure everything out.....

[faithnotgreed]

20. thats the truth! enjoy yourself and know this is a very big tent

[olddem43]

6. They're putting the house folks back out in the fields.

Rummy has to go before he's indicted by the world court for war crimes.

[faithnotgreed]

10. IF this is true there is absolutely only one reason why

well maybe more than one but heres what i think fwiw!

it is because ive heard this same thing more than once: slightly under the radar there is a large group of people who are influential republicans/military.

and they see and know how badly this group has botched most everything and of course most especially iraq/middle east. they have told the powers that unless these said people are gone from the 2nd term, they will in no way support bush in the re election.

21. If your rumor is true - that means Wolfowitz, Feith, Cambone, and all the

outsider-insiders, Ledeen, PNACers and contractors have to go which also means Cheney. No?

[peacetalksforall]

22. plus the Norquist contingent.

[faithnotgreed]

25. there truly is no end...... half the republican party would be gone!

[faithnotgreed]

24. certainly what you say makes sense

and would be awesome

from what ive seen, its consistently been primarily about rumsfeld and presumably should also include those who were complicit in powering the whole debacle. so does pulling this string take the rest of them with him? i dont know....

at some time i believe it will, we just cant know when of course

11. Paper: Condi Rice Leaving...

In Latest Breaking News in DU

Have I read right? Is this thread right?

What the Hell is going on?

[Kanary]

16. Who knows what's going on...... nobody can be bothered with a link..

I guess they expect everyone else to do their goggling for them....

Pah.

:thumbsdown:

[Bertha Venation]

19. "What the Hell is going on?" It's rats deserting a sinking ship!

:bounce:

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. I've heard Rice, Powell, and RIdge.. not the other two, though

that would be great.

[Leilani]

23. Powell is gone for sure

he has made it no secret he wants out.

Rice wants out, also. Some say Bush will offer her SEC of State, to keep her on. He cannot do foreign policy without her.

The scuttlebutt is Rumsfeld, because of screwups will leave.

Ridge is burned out at Homeland Security.

Ashcroft? Who knows, but he is supposedly unpopular, because he loves the limelight...rushes out for bogus press conferences.

Most administrations change players several times over 8 yrs.

With Shrub, who knows? It could get worse if he gets a 2nd term.

[screembloodymurder]

26. Even if true

It won't make a difference. It will get worse.

[peacetalksforall]

27. And we're left with Goss - will the influential in the CIA allow him in?

[BeFree]

28. It's true

Come January 20, 2005, they'll all be gone!

[Ilsa]

29. Maybe they are the only NeoCons to see the handwriting

on the wall. They want to suck up those good CEO jobs and directorships before the whole Administration turns over. The Chimp hasn't gotten the memo yet.
