Bush is calling in all of the Secretaries of Defense in previous administr
and I believe secretaries of state. He is supposedly asking their for their opinions and input about world affairs or the war. What is he up to DUers? I don't trust him some kind of way he wants to put them on record with him when he f---ks up.

9. Remember he knows things they don't ...
He has some more secrets that we don't know. He will say I consulted with this person or that person and then, say " they had the same intelligence that he had". This is another setup for whatever is getting ready to happen concerning Iran and who knows what else.

13. The dems usually think that repugs think like they did years ago...
when they worked together on issues. These repugs really want to destroy dems and everytime they mess they call in the dems.

14. Notice how when something gets out of control they call in some dem...
If dems are so incompetent as they would like us to think. Why did he need Clinton for Katrina, now he wants Everyones' input then when it goes right he will take the credit.

8. It might be hitting * that he is not getting good advice.
And or he is looking for a way to get out of Iraq ASAP ......

But bush seems to more like somebody who decided to operate on the family dog with out being
a vet and now the dog is running around bleeding and snapping at everybody and now he is
calling all the vets he can think of.

Too bad he did not read his Dad's book ...... stay the fuck out of Iraq ..... it will just be a mess.

10. He wants to blame all the Dems who show up
if they come and help, he'll blame them for his debacle. If they don't he'll cry and yell about how they won't play with him.

12. Perfect. That is how they usually play the game...
and dems usually fall for it in some way. They believe that they are being bipartisan and working together, as many times as they have been set up I don't know why they can't see through them yet.

German media: U.S. prepares Iran strike
Submitted by davidswanson on Sat, 2005-12-31 20:00. Media
By MARTIN WALKER, UPI Editor

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- The Bush administration is preparing its NATO allies for a possible military strike against suspected nuclear sites in Iran in the New Year, according to German media reports, reinforcing similar earlier suggestions in the Turkish media.

The Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel this week quoted "NATO intelligence sources" who claimed that the NATO allies had been informed that the United States is currently investigating all possibilities of bringing the mullah-led regime into line, including military options. This "all options are open" line has been President George W Bush's publicly stated policy throughout the past 18 months.

But the respected German weekly Der Spiegel notes "What is new here is that Washington appears to be dispatching high-level officials to prepare its allies for a possible attack rather than merely implying the possibility as it has repeatedly done during the past year."

17. How convenient
That Clinton's latter-day Sec Def (Cohen) is a Republican. What a dumb move picking him was. Sheesh.

Bet Bush doesn't call Bill Perry in. The competent one. Perry is chairing the Democratic National Security Advisory Council for Reid and Pelosi.

18. Robert McNamara could tell him.....
....just how he is recognizing the same kind of screwups from Bush that he was involved in in Vietnam! But then Bush would just tell him "it just goes to show you, other presidents have done the same thing...". GEEZ!!
