Wayne Madsen is reporting:

"Irving Lewis "Scooter" Libby (Leibowitz) has been a long-serving intelligence agent for Israel's Mossad, according to a veteran CIA "official cover" officer..."

Also: "Libby served as the lawyer for Switzerland- based American fugitive financier Marc Rich, aka Mark David Reich, who is also known to be an Israeli intelligence asset and someone Israel relies upon for missions that demand "plausible deniability" on the part of the Mossad."

Yes, this is apparently the same Marc Rich that was pardoned by Bill Clinton.

Honor the sacrifices to date by preventing more wasted lives in that meatgrinder of a fiasco. Continued wasted life makes no sense.

Is there a poll of parents of the dead, injured or missing as to their support for this war?

Yes, and they overwhelmingly support the President. They continue by saying that surrendering in Iraq would besmirch the sacrifice of their loved ones. Harry 'I surrender" Reid and Nancy 'Dog Face' Pelosi are our greatest enemies.

The only sure way to cause Al Qaeda to fail miserably is to put George W. Bush in charge of them.

A new strategy? Nothing has worked. More importantly, we should never have illegally, immorally and unilaterally invaded a country that originally had no ties to terrorism. Now, yes, there are many terrorism threats as Iraq is an international terrorist congregation point.

I served in Iraq and spoke with hundreds of US and "Coalition" military members. I guarantee you there was no one who agreed with our/their presence in Iraq.

When was the last time you heard the media refer to "the Coalition?"

Who are the terrorists in Iraq? What the hell has Bush gotten us into? Where's the plan to get out of this quagmire?

Sadr City, Najaf, the second Battle of Falluja, Tal Afar, and Ramadi, Bebil, Diyala, Baghdad, Baathists turning a page over to the GIs; Nineveh Province, Mosil pacified? Well 18,00 Iraqi soldier in Nineveh Province, 20,000 Iraqi police. Amazing. Iraqis enlising in the Army. Pssst. The Surge is Working and in Baghdad IT'S FRIGHT NIGHT FOR REAL!

Amazing that CBS would even post something positive coming out of Iraq.

You got your heads up your a/s/s/e/s again Kagans. Pull'em out and take a look at the world. Your fantasies about how things should be are just that.

The solution is to end the occupation.

The words "Victory" or "Defeat" or "Success" don't mean anything anymore.

As long as we occupy thier soil, Iraq will never have any real incentive to solve its own problems. And, neither will any of our partners in the region.

The "Hawks" loudly proclaimed that if we left Vietnam, the United States would be less secure. Of course, that was wrong then.

And its wrong now.

xzavier: I have not seen Mr. Moore's movie about the war. I have been entertained by some of his other movies. I do know this; wether you agree with him or not, once you leave the theater, you are down the price of a ticket. Therein lies his skill, he could not make his movies if no one wanted to watch them. He is, in the end, an entertainer. Let's put things in perspective, his talents pale compared to the *** Cheney-Karl Rovian spin machine that sold us this horror classic. Like Alex in A Clockwork Orange, we can't look away. The ticket price? For some, their lives, for the rest of us, let's ballpark it at a trillion. What the hell, it's all on the credit card anyway. Let the grandkids pay for it. I can tell by your comment about muslims and americans you're still a happy consumer.

Well, in his latest, you're gonna HATE what he does to HMO executives.

I didn't come away from his movies thinking Americans are bad. Just American's with special connections to the House of Saud. And those with an almost sexual love of firearms.
