Good site -test

Hello, my name is Jessica, I like yours blog, gut photo,

i with pleasure shall support a theme.

Ney wasn't the first taken down

Maybe you've been asleep at the keyboard. Or have you really missed what the Bush White House has done to -

Ambassador Joseph Wilson / ex-CIA agent Valerie Plame

former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman

former US prosecutors David C. Iglesias, Todd P. Graves, Paul K. Charlton and Carol C. Lam?

Opinion? or Opinionated?

Mr. Dealey, you've engaged in presumptions that bypass "opinion" and travel on to Limbaugh Land. Under the heading "just because you're paranoid doens't mean they're not out to get you"... is it possible that an Administration who trivialized warnings of a disaster which took over 3000 lives, then exaggerated concerns of threat to rationalize an invasion that has cost over 4000 lives (and counting) might allow the likes of Bob Ney to twist in the wind?

The possible support of Ney's allegations seems far more substantive than your criticism.

What am I Missing, Dealey?

And he's a nut case because . . . ?

GOP blood sport

If you think Rethuglicans don't take blood sport to a new level, you haven't been paying attention. Have you noticed we attacked a country five years ago that had nothing to do with 9/11? I could list many more examples but the No. 1 one will have to suffice for now.

Could you next write about a real nut case, i.e. Tom DeLay?

There's more!

What Ney is describing can be found in great detail - including the document itself, in Treacherous Alliance - The Secret Dealings of Iran and Israel. The author was some sort of an aide to Ney. http://www.amazon.com/Treacherous-Alliance-Secret-Dealings-Israel/dp/0300120575/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-1348417-6954437?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1186157981&sr=8-1

The Document is real

"Just after the lightning takeover of Baghdad by U.S. forces three years ago, an unusual two-page document spewed out of a fax machine at the Near East bureau of the State Department. It was a proposal from Iran for a broad dialogue with the United States, and the fax suggested everything was on the table -- including full cooperation on nuclear programs, acceptance of Israel and the termination of Iranian support for Palestinian militant groups."
