Woodward is a one hit wonder...

Please like anyone in the Bush Administration is going to tell Bob Woodward anything..

What scares me is there''s still roughly 35% of the voting populace who is bent on creating a totalitarian state out of our country. These folks are hard right voters... they vote Republican each and every time and turn a blind eye to the worst eight years this country has ever suffered under one miserable administration. They would like nothing better than to see this country made up of only one political party that begins with a capital "R."

Their definition of patriotism is wrapping themselves up in the red, white, and blue and stupidly nod and smile at every piece of drivel their Decider-in-Chief tells them. This type of irrational behavior resembles a nationalism, not unlike the Nazis back in the 1920''s and 1930''s.

Very scary.

McCain has staked his campaign on how the surge has worked and repeatally hit Obama on his failure to acknowledge the success of the surge. This book shows how wrong McCain has been. If I was Obama, I would start ads using Woodward''s conclusions and feature this on all network hosted shows.

Woodward should stick to simple things like trying to remember to zip down before he takes a pee.

No one - no one - cares about what Woodward has to say about anything. He''s just a tired 60''s retread trying to keep his name in the headlines.

The Iraqi government is so "sovereign" and "independent" that we covertly spy on them, to make sure we know what they''re thinking at all times.

Wouldn''t want our imperial puppets making "unauthorized" decisions without our permission.

How can any responsible Publisher allow such an irresponsible act to happen? How many of our troops deaths are they willing to occur so they can make make their(BLOOD)money. Our troops are still over there in case they forgot and with this book they are publishing will fuel the fires to an already unstable environment. I guess their desire for profits knows no bounds. I hope my son who is scheduled to serve in Iraq doesn''t have to be the one to ultimately pay for their mistaken judgment.
Are they reporting the news as it happens or are they making the news so it will happen?

Bob Woodward: Purveyor of the obvious. Why is anyone listening to this clown, and that''s what he is. With the thirty year game of "deep throat" or the 78 Cheney/Bush feel good books, I wonder what makes this guy special? WaterGate? Really?

BTW, this is why I don''t post as much any more. Various people---mostly rightwing nutjobs---are allowed to threaten death or murder of so-called liberals on these pages with immunity, as well as any other non-substantiated claim, calumny, assertion, lie, they want. But, let ANYONE else do the same, and FORGET IT, the post gets suppressed!

Unfortunately, even CBS has the thumbscrews being applied to it by this administration.

Did he find his long forgotten coke stash?

He no longer does cocaine, but he still loves the smell of it.

When you get off YOUR dead horse, maybe then you can tell other folks how to use their free speech rights. But right now, you ain''t got the "experience". LOL.

Well, my original comments didn''t make it on because I dared to say friends don''t spy on friends! And if we were so succesful, the war wouldn''t still be going on!
And, Bush should face a war crimes trial.

Now, someone else can suggest that Bush be hanged after calling him a b@stard, but I can''t say what I said! How screwed up is that?!

I swear, it''s easy to see that the media is NOT free and independent, but HIGHLY controlled!

America, home of the credit card economy. Maybe McCain will send us all more Stimulus Checks to bribe us into 4 more years of complacency.

Folks,
On May 15, 1948, the American President advocated the creation of the State of Israel in the heart of the Muslim Middle-East. 2 years later, 4.5 millions Palestinians were forced out of their homes and lands without compensation.

I am not going to say that this is the 1st act of Terrorism but I will say America is bleeding Treasury and blood because of one religious decision 60 years ago. This bleeding keeps exploding with our continue UnConditional Support to Israel. I cannot believe Americans cares much more about Israel than of America.

2 weeks after 9/11, Osama Bin Ladin released his 1st video. In the video, he clearly listed the top 3 reasons for bombing the twin towers. The 1st reason was the US military base 60 miles from their Muslim''''s holy Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The 2nd reason was the Palestine crisis. Now, Bush wants a State of Palestine. Osama is really winning BIG here.

On Osama Bin Ladin 2nd released video, Osama states that they will destroy America Economically and not Militarily. So far, Osama is really winning Big here.

According to our US State Department, Anti-Semitics is exploding around the world:

Thank you Israel for destroying America and therefore yourself.

I am afraid McSame will say "I will cut your taxes to the bare bones" and win the election regardless of this Iraq mess. The U.S. Military Industry will be very happy. Americans are simply worst than Idiots.
