Frankly, I'd love to see turdblossom frog-marched into Congress in leg-irons to testify (or more likely plead the 5th), but I wonder if perhaps the Dems are trying to lead by example? You know, show that while they have genuine concerns about the behavior (and legality of said behavior) of the White House, they're not going to stoop to the level of the GOP investigating a blow job. In a way, it's like taking the high road ... but alas, there's little satisfaction there.
Democrats are not taking a high road here, they are merely warming us up to the contemptable sh*t we're all in for when the repuglicans are booted out of power.

Nothing is going to happen. Bush will pardon everyone up front (there's no prohibition against it) and Rove, Cheney and anyone else you can think of will go free no matter what. I'm not sure that he wouldn't pardon himself. He's that bold.

I'm not a lawyer or constitutional scholar or anything, but I can't imagine you could pardon someone for any crimes he might have committed. I thought one could only be pardoned for crimes he/she is charged with? Anyone got any solid info on that one, I'm curious.

On topic: the dems are just showing that they are no better than the repubs, it's all about show and image, but in the end they don't have the balls to haul some of these criminals like Rove, Hadley etc into court, indict & convict them and put them in the slammer.

No shit? i'm a Captain of the UKAF's special division and apparently i know more than you (considering that i am Briish and have been away from most news a long time, it is strange)

Considering that I'm not from the US at all, it's not so strange.

Son, these members of the current Admin along with Blair should be in the slammer for life, tell me ONE positive thing that has come out of the destruction of Iraq and i might change my mind, ONE.

I'm in Afghanistan and 100k+ troops in the REAL war against terrorist has been needed for YEARS.

If you don't have an answer, the kindly shut the FUCK up.

Don't call me "son", I'm very likely older than you. I asked a question, get off your high horse, I don't give a shit if you're in Afghanistan or Uzbekistan, I don't give a shit if you're in the special forces or a special ed student, you still come off like a jackass.

Son, i'll call anyone i percieve to be less than 20 son, live with it.

I'm sorry for assuming you were an American, i didn't check, you do sound like an arrogant arsehole though so you sure have the language right if you want to move there.


I'm testy, i'm angry, i'm pissed and you know what, i'm sorry i poured this mix out on you, but you should learn some fucking manners.


Most of my good freinds in this place are "dems" and you insulting them pisses me off, especially since the likes of Haya are ten times as qualified as you in any terms of ... well anything.

Are we clear?

:laugh:

Pot/kettle?

JOS, you are no son of mine or me yours, but in your real war on terrorism, you are doing a hell of a good job in increasing the number of terrorists and little more.

Some idiot in your governments may have promoted you way past your level of competence, but that hardly excuses your six year track record of total failure.

Back where I come from results matter and its not hard to connect the dots, stupidity fails and your stinking thinking is the author of your own failures. Deny the failures all you want, but badly failing you are. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

If you think going into Pakistan with the woefully inadequate troop numbers you have will solve anything, IMHO, you are a total and complete idiot.

Believe it or not I share your goals, but there are an almost an infinite number of ways to run the Afghan occupation smarter, and you are a totally dumb MF in choosing the surest way to fail. As they say, I will see you in the comic books, and comic books best describe your thinking.

One day you will grow up maybe, but right now I find no evidence that you are even aware of reality.

I would bet you ANYTHING that i am more capable in the theory of evolution, in chemistry, in physics or in math that you are.

I'm a soldier and yeah, you obviously think that makes me fucking stupid, don't you you twat? Well i'm not.

My first and foremst goal is to kill every single Taliban in any way i can.

Do we shere the same goals, no.

Pakistans border does not exist, so we will come and go as we please and if some ISI helping the Taliban are killed, good.

It works and you can kindly go fuck yourself lemon law because in THIS area, you know noting and i know EVERYTHING.

I can't help that your perception skills are that of a twelve year old. Live with it.

Manners? Hmmmm... perhaps you would be so kind as to show me a post where I displayed a lack of manners? Profanity? I don't know who pissed in your cheerios today, and I don't care. Perhaps you should heed your own advice and learn some manners junior.

Most of my good freinds in this place are "dems" and you insulting them pisses me off, especially since the likes of Haya are ten times as qualified as you in any terms of ... well anything.

Again, kindly show me where I "insulted" your "dem" friends? Apparently you make up for your lack of reading comprehension by trying to increase the size of your e-penis? Congratulations, well done. With such brilliant people like you in Afghanistan, no wonder the place is a disaster.

Are we clear?

The only thing you've made crystal clear is that you're behaving like a jackass, "son".

It's not being a soldier that makes you stupid, but clearly something did :D Your stupidity is no longer in doubt, its cause is not clear, feel free to elaborate.

But its getting rather far afield from the Karl Rove question of this thread, our founding fathers did not toss your British Mad King George only to see him replaced by our own version of Mad King George GWB&co.

You might note that George W. Bush is our own George III...

Playing daft, aye? How's that working out for your dumb arse.

Read a few posts up and treat that ...... whatever drug habit you ogot that mekes you forget really fast.

I took a shit in a proper loo for the first time in weeks, guess what son, nothing you can say will improve or make my day worse.

However, i will admit that you made me smile.

Afghanistan, son, is improving, of course us Brits, being the only force in the area, had nothing to do with it what so ever. ;)
