One expects to see such goings-on in a third-world country–this prosecution of previous administration officials for policy differences–*not* in the USA. What we see here are the first shots fired in a new political war. As the old saying went, the Dems ought to be careful what they wish for, special prosecutors and such, for they just might get them, especially if this nation is attacked by a WMD on Obama’s watch.

Should such a catastrophe happen–especially late in his term–the Repubs, *and* the populace in general, will be out for blood, including his, Holder’s, Clinton’s, Panetta’s, and, not least, Pelosi’s and Reid’s (and a few dozen other blowhards-in-chief from the committee of 535).

It will not be a pretty sight, not at all.

I think the real plan was to send out hit teams to assasinate US Citizens suspected of being linked to Al Qaida. Which I wouldnt put past them and which I think we will find out was the real plan. Because else it doesnt sound very sansational. I just know it wouldnt get put out in the media if it was true. Im equally worried about when the real facts on the electronic eavesdropping that is going on is revealed. And when the people responsible are put to trial.

I’m shocked, SHOCKED, I tell ya, that such things could have ever, EVER even REMOTELY been going on in the Cheney household…

Forget the beatification — he’s already got a candy bar named after him. Couldn’t miss it in the airport today…

More blatant hypocrisy exposed. Cheney uses presidential finding to investigate potential to apply "direct action" to really bad guys. Bad Dick. The One uses Pred launched Hellfires to apply same to same. Beatification is in his future.

It seems to me that leadership decapitation is both moral (why shoot the soldier following orders?) and an advantage of democracies over other forms of government(our “B” team of cabinet/congresscritters that can assume the presidency is a whole lot bigger team than some little council of ayatollahs).

The only reason I can think of not to do so is that our wanna-be commanders in chief are cowards. Are there other reasons?
