Washington Post Analysis: Examining The Career Of The Attorney General Upon His Resignation

speakinup,,, This morning Gonzo told reporters he was confident he would keep his job,,,,,, He was Fired
-- Shows you this administration is in a dire losing predicament on many issues especially the Iraq War Of Roses.

[forthepeopl1]

and why did we go

"Because if we''d gone to Baghdad, we would have been all alone. There wouldn''t have been anybody else with us %u2014 it would have been a US occupation of Iraq. None of the Arab forces that were willing to fight with us in Kuwait were willing to invade Iraq. Once you got to Iraq and took it over, and took down Saddam Hussein''s government, then what are you going to put in its place? That''s a very volatile part of the world.

And if you take down the central government in Iraq, you could easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off. Part of it%u2026uh%u2026the Syrians would like to have in the West. Part of the eastern part of Iraq the Iranians would like to claim, fought over it for eight years. In the north, you''ve got the Kurds. If the Kurds spin loose and join with the Kurds in Turkey, then you threaten the territorial integrity of Turkey. It''s a%u2026it''s a quagmire, if you go that far in trying to take over Iraq.

The other thing was casualties. Uh%u2026everyone was impressed with that fact that%u2026uh%u2026we were able to do our job with as few casualties as we had. But for the 146 Americans killed in action and for their families, it wasn''t a cheap war. And the question for the President in terms of whether or not we went on to Baghdad and took additional casualties in an effort to get Saddam Hussein, was how many additional dead Americans was Saddam worth? And our judgment was not very many, and I think we got that right."

Don''t forget "Cut and Run Reagan".

American peacekeeping forces in Beirut, a part of a multinational force (MNF) during the Lebanese Civil War, were attacked on October 22, 1983. The Beirut barracks bombing, in which 241 American servicemen were killed by suicide bombers, was the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima, and the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States military since the first day of the Tet offensive. Reagan called the attack "despicable," pledged to keep a military force in Lebanon, and planned to target the Sheik Abdullah barracks in Baalbek, Lebanon, which housed Iranian Revolutionary Guards believed to be training Hezbollah fighters, but the mission was later aborted. Besides a few shellings, there was no serious American retaliation, and the Marines were moved offshore where they could not be targeted. On February 7, 1984, President Reagan ordered the Marines to begin withdrawal from Lebanon. This was completed on February 26: the rest of the MNF was withdrawn by April.

The only loyalty any Government official needs to be concerned about, is being loyal to the Constitution they swore to uphold and protect.

throwingup --- You still don''t know how reapportionment creates imbalances in Congress do you ??? Or why a majority controlled Senate still needs 9 republican votes to pass simple legislation & isn''t actually a majority or a 2/3 majority is needed for issues like impeacment,,, do you ???? ---- Take a night class

j-whitman - have you figured out how many Senators there are yet ? Or, was that 110 (50 for Dems and 60 for Rep) another one of your typos ? Oh yeah, tell us again about how they re-apportion the number of Senators too.

Tell us again how Bush is a Card carrying Nazi, and that Hitler started WWII because of terrorists ? Come on, man. That''s my favorite story. Say, isn''t it about time for another coffin nail?

oops - past time for your meds, dude. Look, I don''t mind reminding you, but you need to take some responsibility. Dang, I keep forgetting, you''re a liberal - you don''t have to.

Katg21,

What''s to talk about with Jefferson? He''s out of Congress and when he goes to trial they''ll be something to talk about again.

I understood what you said, I just think it''s a nonsensical comparison.
