"reporting from UNNAMED SOURCES"

Study up on journalism. Remember Deep Throat? I''m not arguing that all of these sources need identity protection in the same way that Deep Throat did, but he''s writing about very sensitive stuff. Do you think all sources would reveal information if they new their names were going to be made public?

Woodward is saying what everyone else has suspected for a long time, that being that the Great Emperor Bush II couldn''t lead an army of TOY SOLDIERS to victory!

But what would you expect from a guy who evaded the draft by joining the Texas Air National Guard, had a few pictures taken of himself in uniform to show everyone he was in the military, then went AWOL and finally deserted!

The military isn''t all that innocent either. You have a military run by generals and admirals who act more like politicians and are totally out of touch with what is happening to the grunts at the front!

And yet, the neocon Fascist Nazi Republicans are saying the Great Emperor Bush II is the greatest military leader since George Patton. At least Patton LEARNED from history and used that against the enemy. The Great Emperor Bush II fell asleep in history class, if he ever attended it!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!!!
sig heil, I''M A POW AND DON''T FORGET IT, McCain!!!!
sig heil, PISTOL-PACKIN'' MAMA, Palin!!!!!

Bob Woodward: U.S. Spied On Iraqi PM

The Vicar: Nobody cares

[royalia]

"reflected that", is what I meant to write.

[royalia]

"Who the hell cares what Woodward says or thinks. He''''s the perfect definition of a has-been liberal biased reporter"

Lord help us. Woodward''s first book was, I believe, quite favorable toward W. As the administration fell apart, the news coming out of the White House relected that. I voted for this nitwit, but I have realized the error of my ways. This Bush and his cronies have made me rethink my political views. I encourage you all to listen to Jesse Ventura. He is truthful, unlike the lies, lies, lies, that have come from Bushie.

American biker ( are you a meanbiker?), We live in a free society or are supposted to. The Framers never said there should be a CIA, FBI, dept of homeland security to police lawful citizens and visitors, they said the militay should never be used on cilivians. Look what we have now! You''re complaining about not enought secrecy? I say we have more than enough already.

Woodward needs to find a real job...his "bunkum books for dollars" is old and thread-bare...why do publishers keep printing junk... but I guess there are those that will do anything for a dollar?

[bobnjersey]

[Bob Woodward is a joke. He puts out a new "scandalous" book 8 weeks before every major election.]

classic ... don''t like what he says ... even if it''s true ... so attack the messenger. do you have other information that says what he states is inaccurate or not true? do you have the connections he has to insiders and those in the know ... do you even have one?

he''s basing his claims on sources within the system ... as he has with all his writing ... what are you basing your claims on ... ideology?

[antoniof123]

Neo cons please learn how to READ. Your heads are so burried in the sand you need to stop listening to your wing nut pundits. They are so desparate they will say anything.

These interviews have been acknowledged by the administration. God neo cons are dumber than dirt.

[jsmithcsa]

If it''s true, why would Woodward say it, other than to ruin US credibility around the world.

I''m done with his traitorous reports.

[impeach__w]

[notblue]

Explain how the Democrats have "lead". LOL! critisism is not leading.
Our government should spie on all America''s potential enemies, what side does that put the terrorist supporting, Bush hating libs on? If the shoe fits!

[tootall10142]

Have you ever heard a a COAT team they are teams of people disguised as one thing trained to observe and identify certain tell signs of activity in a area of interest.Civilian Obseravation Activity Team these people are highly trained in the areas og glancing at a person and being able to totally recall everything about that person, such as the type of clothes wherer they are made his shoes his hat gllsasses frames things like that .

For Gawd''s sake - get your head out of the sand and read something besides neo-con propaganda. Bush has acknowledged these interviews with Woodward.

[jmurrieta1]

And here we thought the government was only spying on anti-war and anti-Republican groups here in the USA.

Our tax dollars at work!

[samsel3]

Bush & Cheney spying on the Prime Minister is a no brainer. Risk of Oil contracts with Russia.

The reason the US wants to stay in Iraq is they don t want the Russians signing contracts for Iraqi oil.

Before the Iraq invasion & occupation Russia was one of Iraqs largest oil customers. Russia is the second largest supplier of Oil on the planet. They are the Saudis competition.

The Saudis and BIG OIL used Bush to get rid of Saddam because he was undercutting their oil sales and profits by selling cheap to Russia. This caused a depression of oil market prices which hit historic lows prior to the Iraq invasion.

"(Bush)too often failed to lead."
I think that line says it all about the Republican Party.

[chimpyout]

Elect McCain and Palin and the incompetent or criminal appointees (and they are legion) won''t even have to get up from their desks. They did a heckuva job so far--want to give them impunity and immunity?
And what about the federal judge appointee? Principal qualification: must be conservaturd zealots!
